I thought contacts were such a pain, I would never wear them again. I didn't have any problem with them, per se, but they made my eyes tired and when I got something in my eye - oh my! Even the soft contacts were a pain, I thought.
Of course, I haven't worn them since about 1990, so they are probably much improved. I doubt I could wear them now as my distance vision has worsened but my close vision remains almost perfect. So, the distance correction messes up my reading vision. I would be in the same boat, I think, having to wear one for distance and one for close.
Even with glasses, I have to take them off to see close up. Actually now I have the transitions glasses so that I don't have to take them off, but I still do, cause it's a pain to have to find the right lens space to see close up.
Good luck, Marilyn! I have heard Judy, of persons who wore one contact for close and one for distance.
