Whats the problem with changing your contacts every day. They are easy to put in and remove, and who wants to wear them when you sleep.  But that's OK. Anyway I am nearsighted as you are and I've worn contacts for years and years. My favorite, and the most comfortable for me were Daily Wear Contacts, you take them out when you sleep then put them back in , in the morning.To me contacts must fit and feel like their is nothing in your eyes, otherwise they get uncomfortable and you won't like wearing them. The Daily Wears are the most comfortable  because they are  very soft, like Plastic Wrap.  The Monthly wear types are more like a soft plastic and I didn't dig them.  You will pro bally like contacts they are pretty cool. Also note : If you can see up close no problem, but you can't see distances, and if you need glasses to drive, you are Nearsighted.\nWhen you can see distances and you can see to drive a vehicle, but you can't read without glasses, you are Farsighted.

Not yet.  It's very popular in glasses right now, so I'm sure there's a company somewhere trying to figure out how to get it to work in contacts.

Sure the contacts could be affecting you because your eyes "breathe" differently with and without contacts.  My eyes are always irritated when I take my contacts out - all the sudden they are getting a little more oxygen than they're used to and have no barrier from irritants.  I love my oasis lenses because I can keep in for a week before taking out to clean, which means fewer occassions for taking out and getting dry eye.  Try em and ask your eye doc just to be safe!

Contact lenses aren't harmful to wear as long as you follow your eye doctor's instructions very carefully. There are certain types that you can wear for long periods of time no matter what you are doing. Your eye doctor should be able to answer all of your questions about this issue.

It is OK, but it is highly recommended that your use the daily contact ones. Remove the old ones in order for your eyes to breathe. If you wear contact lenses for a very long time the water in your eyes might dry which will make it even harder for you later for wear any contact lenses.

yes, depends on the manufacturer. You can get weekly,by-weekly, monthly and yearly contact lenses. Refer to your optician.

Hiya.. I just started wearing contacts since May.. Cosmetic wise, contacts is definitely better.. But with so many types/colours of spectacle frames available, wearing glasses can be good too.. It's really upto your preference.. I will switch around depending on the occasion.. And you should not wear contacts for more than 12 hours each day, and never during your sleep.. Also, observe personal hygiene to avoid eye infection.. Take note of any expiry of the contact lens and solution.. Hope this is useful.. =)

no. your eye gets damaged from continued exposure to the contact lens.

Contacts are perfectly safe if you wear them properly and follow your eye doctor's instructions.  Make sure you see your eye doctor at least once a year to make sure that the contacts still fit you properly and aren't starting to do any damage.  Also, never sleep in your contacts unless your eye doctor specifically tells you that you can.  Not every brand of contacts transmits enough oxygen to the front of your eye for you to be able to sleep in them.

Consider laser vision correction or contact lenses

Yes, it's usually one year.  The reason for this is so that your doctor can re-evaluate your vision and the fit of the contacts each year.  It's also so that he/she can make sure your eyes are healthy and that the contacts aren't causing any problems with your eyes.

You may consider joining a networking group.  I have found linkedin.com to be very helpful in making and maintaining contacts:\nhttp://www.linkedin.com\n\nHope this helps!

Your vision doesn't always correspond exactly to the power of your contacts.  And it doesn't really matter because the contacts correct you to 20/20 or better.  The only time it matters is when you can't be corrected to 20/20 with glasses or contacts.  I'm also a -4.25 and I know that without my contacts I can just make out the big E at the top of the eye chart (that's 20/400).
