I have contacts I have worn for about 5 years now. I currently wear them all day from about 6am-11pm. I put my contacts in first thing in the morning and the last thing I do before I go to sleep is take them out. I was wondering if I should get glasses. I have noticed my vision is getting worse and its harder to see when i take my contacts out. I hardly spend more than 2 or 3 minutes a day without my contacts in so I don't know if it would be beneficial to get glasses or not. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appriciate it. Thanks!

I would have a pair of glasses just incase somthing was to happen to one of your contacts. You never know when you may get an eye infection like pink eye. That happened to me and it was really hard going without my contacts.

It would probably be a good idea. Contacts deny the eye oxygen which can make vision worse. With glasses you can take them out earlier in the evening and wear your glasses until you go to bed. It is also a good idea to have a pair around in case something happens (like getting pink eye or something) and you can't wear your contacts.

First, if you haven't had an eye exam in the last year or so, get one. Make sure there's nothing else wrong with your eyes, and that your prescription hasn't changed.
Then, yes, I think it's a good idea to have glasses to fall back on. Giving your eyes a rest from contacts has to be a good thing.

I wore contacts for about 4 years and felt almost blind after taking them off,
it has been my experience that your eyesight gets worse if you wear them for so long period of time and daily.Glasses are the best , they dont make your eyesight even poor than before, just get a good pair of glasses that suits your personality and can wear contacts occassionally!

I am a faithful contact wearer, I have had them since eighth grade. I have always had a pair of glasses also. I like to take out my contacts in the evening sometimes, it's like my eyes get to rest while I have my glasses on. I also like to keep them with me in my purse bacause I have had a contact rip while I was working and it's really hard to finish work and drive home with one contact!

You shouldn't wear contacts for more than 12 hours. I recomend glasses to give your eyes a break. When you wear contacts it's harder for your eyes to breathe.
I'm wearing my glasses right now! :-)
