Question:
I have contacts and glasses...is it a good idea...?
I usually wear my contacts everyday, and only switch to glasses when I am at home for an hour or two. Is it a good idea to just not wear contacts for a day or two and give my eyes a rest? Does this even matter?
Answers:
Most optometrist would recommend only wearing contact lenses for 3-6hrs and only 3 or4 days a week. I personally wore my contact lenses for up to 18 hrs a day and usually 7 days a week. Although I had no issues other than a little dryness and irritation sometimes, I would recommend you talk to you optometrist.
The solution I used was to get laser eye surgery (lasik) to correct my eyesight, and now have perfect vision. If you have the finances for this treatment, I highly recommend it.
