Answers:
I wore RGPs for about seven years, before my eyes wouldn't tolerate them (they always felt dry and I lived in an area with hardly any humidity)!. I did switch to soft for a while afterwards!.
I thought RGPs were easy to put in, but also easy to pop out!. Once the lens popped out and I didn't realize it for almost half an hour!. They are a lot smaller than soft lenses!. It's impossible to put them in inside out!. They are easy to clean, but if you rub really hard, you could break them!.
I could definitely feel them on my eyes, every time I blinked!. They got uncomfortable after wearing them for about 12 hours, or if I was tired and sleep deprived!.
They aren't made like disposable lenses!. I think I kept mine for over a year!. Mine were fairly expensive, because I have a lot of astigmatism!. I think the expense approximately equals the expense of disposable soft lenses for astigmatism!.
I had excellent vision with them! I wish I could still wear them!.
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
