My major complaint is that they do not stay clean. I am wearing my second pair now and its almost time for a new pair. For some reason they grow protein deposits. In time these deposits irritate my eyes and hence the need to buy new lenses. At $180 every nine months it gets expensive. Mine are the type you wear for a week. I never take them out unless I am going swimming. I still love them, its great to be able to see when I wake up in the morning.
