Answers:
Best to ask your eye doctor what would work best for your eyes!.
You could ask your doctor about breathable silicone lenses (there are serveral brands!.) These are better for you since they allow more oxygen to reach the eye!.
Also, depending on the lens, you can sleep in them!. I highly recommend the silicone lenses since you will probably forget atleast once and fall asleep with your lenses on!.
Sleeping with lenses not designed for sleep may hurt your eyes!. (I have not had this happen to me, but this had happened to a close friend of mine - fell asleep with a lens in his eye and it dryed out and scratched it - this was with lenses not rated for sleeping!.)
Daily lenses are also good if your prescription is available in daily!. I have not yet seen silicone lenses in daily form, so the trade off is a less breathable lens in exchange for not having to clean your lenses!.
Although they are a little more expensive, dailies may be good in your situation since you will have many lenses in case you lose one while playing sports!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Acuvue Oasis!! Can't even feel themWww@Answer-Health@Com
Acuvue Oasys are extremely comfortable!. I run track so these contacts have helped alot!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I like the disposable ones because it means you don't have to worry about deep cleaning your lenses every week or two!. You can just put in a fresh pair!.
Also with disposables you can try out different brands!. I have sensitive eyes, so this is important to me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
