I took it to a Nordstrom tailor who for $40 made it look like a $350 suit. I discovered the suit trick a year ago, when I found a great deal ($80) on an Express Suit.

After a while, your eye can develop an allergy to the proteins that accumulate on the contact lens, and in combating the allergen, your eye can then develop scar tissue on it's surface. I got to a point where I was no longer eligible for a contact prescription, and I got lasik to avoid a lifetime in glasses. Of course, I had to spend a month in the glasses while I put antibiotics and stinging steroids in my eyes to heal them enough to go through surgery... Just my two cent experience. I'd advise looking for other ways to save money. Retrospectively, risking my long-term eye health wasn't worth it.

Man, I have. You can squeeze an extra week or two, but after that, you're taking your eye health into your own hands. Some people can do it just fine. Some can't -- I've developed partial cataracts because of overuse.
