I have worn contacts for 50+ years. But now that I have reached Seniordom, my eye doctor tells me that contacts will probably no longer be comfortable when I wear them--something to do with the moisture in your eye as you age. Oh, well, I guess 50 years was a good long run. The good news is that when I have my cataract surgery, I'll no longer need glasses -- something to make the prospect of surgery a little more palatable.
