The level of waste from monthly contact lenses is surely less than a grocery trip where you forget your reusable bags. I wouldn't even consider that aspect personally, they're tiny.

I suppose the way I look at it is that any practical option I have to reduce waste is likely worthwhile, and contacts falls square in that category.

I find that a ridiculous viewpoint.

Contacts are, as addressed, tiny. The amount of waste you generate from these things is almost nothing. I compared to a plastic bag earlier, but just imagine how much shit is wasted on a single private jet flight. Don't torture yourself when the people in position to enact change don't.

Contacts also have an insane value prop. Vision assistance is more of a need than a want in a modern society where one has to work for money.
