Your dad must be wearing 1960s technology contact lenses. Modern
contact lenses such as the Focus Night & Day that I wear can be left
in your eye entirely maintenance free for a month or longer, before
you throw them away and replace it. Since it is a new lens from a
sterile package there is no risk of dust or contamination. I have
never had one pop out, even if I accidently rub my eye, or swim with
them in (both of which are not recommended anyways). They are about
as convenient as having naturally perfect vision. I wore glasses for
many years before I tried them and was sick of the lenses getting
scratched, dirty, fogging up, glare, frames getting bent, etc. I am a
very active person, and contacts have significantly improved my
quality of life, I think that everyone with vision problems should at
least try them for a month or two before considering glasses.

I like the relatively low maintenance of glasses, especially since my
job often takes me into dusty environments. Also, you never know when
the extra eye protection will prove useful.
