You have a wonderful Rx for contacts. It is a relativly common Rx,
meaning more options available for you. Most people can be successfully
fitted in contacts, depending on their desired activities, if any. Most
ODs will fit you in contacts, and have you follow up in a week to let
you try the lenses out. If you don't like the lenses within that week
trial tell the doc what you don't like about them, you can try several
options that will probably make you very happy.

If you want to get them, then do so. You may decide that you want to
continue, but you will still have the choice to stop. It simply isn't
the case that you won't be able to go without them, if that's what you
want to do.

If you would rather wait, then that is your choice. Contacts help more
with a higher prescription, but it is up to you.

I want to get contacts but someone said I will get used to wearing them I won't be able to go without them. My prescription is -2.25 is it common for people with this prescription to wear contact lenses or do they generally wait till their prescription is higher?
