Before I buy contact lens...?!
Question: I'm wearing glasses for few years, if I want to switch to lens, how much will it cost? (lens case, eye drops, examine fees, relevant stuff, etc)
which brand (contact lens) is most worth it and comfortable?
If I wear them everyday, should I get daily or yearly?
If I only wear them once or twice a week, should I get daily or yearly?
I'm going to see a optometrist sooner or later, yet I just want to have some references, to avoid some "hard sale" from the sales. Thanks in advance!! I have zero experience on lens.

I will recommend you to buy daily disposable contact lens with moisture effect.
1. Convenience
2. No need to buy any solution.
3. Lower the risk from any eyes disease.
4. Feeling more comfort
5. Eyes feel moist and fresh even at the end of the day.
6. With UV blocking to help protect the eyes.
Suitable for those who desire to wear contact lenses for long hours and for those who are looking for convenience comfort and health.

Depends, do you want disposable? they're much cheaper.
You can get a pack of 6 for $30+
They usually last up to 2 months or more. I had some that lasted for over 2 years because i kept them in solution and took very good care of them.
Disposables are nice for how often you wear them. Some people who wear them only occasionally really like the one-time-use contacts as they are used once and thrown away when you take them out. They require no case or solutions or care and they are the healthiest for your eyes.
Wearing disposable contacts longer than they are to be worn or not cleaning them properly is like using the same water bottle for years without washing it--the bacteria level can build and can cause problems. Please follow the recommended time to dispose of them in spite of how long other people "get away with" using them. If they have dodged problems so far, that is great but please don't risk your eyes by doing the same.
i used extended lenses for 3 months but should have been a year. but i recommend you use disposables cause if your extended lenses get stained you'll be getting be a new one.
