can i wear contect lenses and reading glasses?

Question

I can not see materials that I may be reading with or without my contact lenses. However, I love contact lenses.

Answer 1

I wear contact and use reading glasses every day. Hard for me to believe, but my nearsightedness requires the contacts, but I need th reading glasses fo rclosup work... go figure.

Answer 2

Yes, you can. I do it myself. I'm nearsighted but also in my late 40s so I have developed the loss of near vision to a certain extent. I don't have this problem when I'm not wearing contacts or glasses but I do when I'm wearing them. In the case of contacts, I use reading glasses. When I'm wearing glasses, I simply take them off or pull them down and look over the top when I'm reading or looking at near objects. It's cheaper than getting bifocals and I probably see better that way.

Answer 3

Since you love contacts so much, did you know that you can wear one contact for distance and one contact for reading? You brain eventually adjusts.

Answer 4
