Disposable contacts are great.  I use one on one eye only- for distance-
and use the other eye for reading.  This is known as mono vision. 
Sounds weird but it really works if your correction isn't too severe. 
Mine is -1.75.  Contacts are not a panacea however.  I have often had
mine offset or washed out when I mis-timed a wave crashing into my
face.  I've also had it blown out of my eye while road biking even
though I wear Oakleys.  Has anyone tried the new procedure where a
plastic ring is inserted on your eyeball to correct vision?  It sounds
like a better option than laser surgery but I haven't gotten any
feedback from anyone who has tried it.
