Should I be getting contacts?!
Question: Should I be getting contacts?
We are going skiing at spring break. Recently my eye has been sore when I have not been wearing my glasses for other sports. Should I be getting contacts before I go skiing? Do I have enough time to get used to them? (Spring break is in 4 weeks).

Are you okay with touching your eye? I have had contacts for about 1 year and a half. It took me about a month to get used to them since you have to find the right pair/type of contacts for your eyes but I LOVE them. They're so user friendly. I would suggest getting them before skiing. I got contacts cause I did a lot of outdoors type things and getting hit in the face WITH glasses on was not fun. But I don't wear them all the time I wear my glasses when I don't go out.
Hope I helped!
You can certainly get use to them in a couple of days if they are fit right. The answer to whether you should get them depends on 1) do your glasses improve your vision for distance? and 2} your prescription. Call your optometrist and ask to speak with someone in the contact lens department. If they don't have a contact lens department ask a friend who wears contacts for a recommendation.
