    have worn contacts for 40 years,
    modern ones are light years ahead of my first pair. Now I wear disposibles. Can put them in on the fly no mirror or other stuff required. Always have a couple of spares in my kit.
    Only hassle now is I need bloody glasses to see up close FFS!!!!

    What brand of disposables do you use? I might give them another go. last time I tried, eyes got sore and watery halfway through the day hunt and they were difficult to put in and take out.

    Practise makes perfect with them.
    I use Focus Night and Day or Dalies Aqua Comfort currently If I cant get them then accuvue oasis. Daily disposables are not cheap but if you only use them occasionally and have same prescription in both eyes then not too bad.
    If you know your script you can buy online

    Never leave them in more than 24 hours MAX. 10 + years ago I originally used FOCUS Montly. Left them in 30days and then remove and replace as directed by optician. I got a corneal ulcer

    I am much the same ,worn contacts for 40 years and also need glasses for up close . It is a hassle putting them in and taking them out while camping in a tent but after 40 you get used to it!! just need to be organized .
