Dailies were a vast improvement in comfort and convenience for me over permanent lenses that required cleaning and storing overnight.

Permanent lenses had also led to some blood vessel overgrowth due to lack of oxygenation.

Using a new pair everyday does make quite a few tricky problems go away downside being slight extra cost and extra plastic pollution.

FWIW, this no longer appears to be the case. New "extended-wear" contacts have excellent oxygen permeability, and my ophthalmologist hasn't noticed any overgrowth of capillaries/vessels over the past 15 years of me wearing them. You can also sleep in them now, and I find them more comfortable than dailies actually, due to their high permeability.

This is really individual. I tried Air Optix, and I kept waking up with my eyes glued shut from mucus.
