You get over that, honest. You don't actually touch your eye with
anything except the slippery wet lens, which doesn't hurt. Soft lenses
are more comfortable than RGPs but provide not-as-good vision (YMMV, of
course). It takes roughly three minutes to clean them at night and two
minute to put them in in the morning. Cleaning fluids from Target
shouldn't cost you more than $20/year. If you can be fit with contacts
you'll love them. Astigmatism can be a real obstacle to good fit (yeah,
guess how I know!), but when they're good they're REALLY good.
