Should I get contacts? ?!


Question: Should I get contacts? ?
I have had glasses forever and I am sick of them! I have been thinking about contacts but I have a progressive lens in my glasses. I am almost 15 and have no problem touching my eye but my eye doctor said if I got confabs that I would need reading glasses. All my friends say I shouldn't get them and that glasses fit me which I agree but I am sick if them. I am also thinking about joining cheerleading and don't want my glasses to get in my way.

if your going to have to wear reading glasses theres no point.



Bifocal contacts are extremely hard to make. It is a hassle for the doctor, because he has to make that tiny incision of line for the bifocal.

Im assuming you have strabismus, so do I. I wear colored contacts without a prescription, but I wear glasses as well because contacts are hard to have, especially with bifocals.

Take the glasses off for cheer, and put them back on at the end of the practice or game. I play 4 sports (field hockey, basketball, swimming, and lacrosse.) and I have minimal issues without glasses. Or, just wear them! My glasses are cute, and they give me some spunk and quirkiness. I love them!



You have a few option. You could get contacts like dailies, which are onetime each wear lenses and use them when you are playing sports, or on days where you won't be reading all day. Or... You could look into bifocal, multifocal lenses.

As a contact lens wearer I can understand the desire to put sunglasses on your head not always have glasses on your nose, etc...
