How long do contact lenses last?

Are contacts better than glasses?
Advantages: Contacts conform to the curvature of the eye, provide a wider field of view, and cause fewer vision distortions and obstructions than eyeglasses. Contact lenses don’t get in the way when playing sports and exercising. Contacts typically aren’t affected by weather conditions and won’t fog up in cold weather.
