I don't currently wear contacts, but when I did I regularly switched back
and forth between them and glasses (it was many years ago and the contacts
weren't comfortable enough for wearing all day).  I understand about glasses
being a hassle.  On the plus side though, I really like being able to take
my glasses off whenever I feel like it.  Obviously you don't have that
luxury with contacts.  You didn't mention your age, but assuming that you
don't have to deal with presbyopia contacts could be an excellent solution.

Thanks for the replies. I think my friend means that if I get used to wearing
contacts, assuming I'd wear them all day every day, then I would find it
difficult if I wasn’t able to wear them.  Right now I don’t wear glasses all
the time but I would if I wear contacts. I don’t know whether she means it
would make my eyes worse or I’d just get lazy.

VicTek – I want contacts because I find glasses a hassle.
Odtobe – why do you say mine is “a wonderful Rx for contacts”?
Dan – but you say that contacts help most with a higher prescription

contacts are a great way to go if you are properly fitted and you find
them comfortable.
the idea that you wont be able to go without them is a bit off the
mark.

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?
