Ask HN: What contact lenses do you wear as a tech professional?

  • It really depends on your specific needs (your prescription, tolerance for dryness, cleaning preferences, etc.). Any optometrist would give you trial pairs to test out before you buy a multi-month supply.

    In general glasses would probably be a lot more comfortable for extended time in front of a computer. You might also want to consider Lasik, SMILE, or implantable collamer lenses (ICL). ICLs in particular can be reversed while the other two cannot.
