Eye Care Information

Hi,
I usually wear my regular glasses. but recently I was thinking about replacing them with a contact lenses, However, I have heard both good and more of bad things about them that made me reconsider having them. On top of that, I don't know much about the their contracts and which one is the best to choose. I did some research and call some places, but they tend to be very expensive!
Any thoughts about that, would be helpful!
