This. I have an EXO-500 and Air Optix Night & Day contacts (leave them in for two weeks at a time, replace them monthly). I haven't done any huge touring trips, but I've never even thought about my contacts while riding, up to several hours at a time.
However, my eyes do really well with contacts in general. I've probably worn my glasses a total of a couple weeks' worth of time in the past ~25 years, usually for a few hours the one night a month I take my contacts out. You might check with your eye doctor about trying out different brands of contacts too. I never really had any issues with my previous Acuvues, but these ones are even better. My brother tried a number of brands until he found some that worked for him (he settled on dailies FWIW), and I think his eyes are still less tolerant of them than mine are.
