When you think about it, contact lenses truly are amazing little feats of engineered medical technology.
Not only do they sit directly on your eyeball and focus light so you can actually see (so cool!), they’re also oxygen permeable and made of large molecules called polymers (so science-y!).
But if you ask anyone who has to wear contacts on the daily if they share these sentiments, you’ll probably be answered with a hearty eye roll and a laundry list of reasons why contacts are a pain to deal with… though it’s likely the eye roll is just them trying to move their contact back into its rightful place.
So for those of you who don’t wear contacts and are now too afraid to ask what they’re like, BuzzFeed has compiled the top 26 struggles all contact lens wearers endure.
