Contact lens??


Question: I wear glasses (bi-focals) Can I wear contacts? I'm always misplacing my glasses, and I hate the way I look with them on
Answers: Depending on your prescription, there are lenses out there which would be suitable for you. Lenses such as Acuvue Bifocal or Softlens Multifocal may be suitable for you. If you find that you do not get on with these you can also try something called monovision where one eye works as the distance vision and the other eye works as the near vision, and together you get vision at all distances. This sometimes works out cheaper too as you can use 2 standard lenses rather than expensive bifocal or multifocal lenses. However, you would need to have a contact lens fitting with an optician as your contact lens prescription is not the same as your spectacle prescription and you would need to be measured up for the correct size lens as well. They would then be able to advise you on the best lens options for you. Hope this helps :)
Yup, of course you can,just visit your local Opticians first to get a check up and an induction on the earing and looking after of your eyes.. And you'll be wearing them in no time..
yes. I just got contacts a few days ago. I love them!!!!

It's just super important that you keep them extra clean so you don't get an infection.
well of course you can wear contacts
talk to your optamitrist bc not every one can
make sure it s good with him first
but otherwise go for it
OK, I used to wear contacts, but when I (ahem) graduated to bifocals I had to give them up. According to my opthamologist it depends on how bad your astigmatism is(if that's your problem) and will determine whether or not you can wear bifocal contacts. So check with your eye doctor - he/she can guide you.
Of course you can.
They do have bifocal contacts try those out or get one of those string things that hangs from your neck and holds your glasses
I have contacts, SO MUCH EASIER.
I love them! Go for it!!
yes you can. they come in handy. take a little while to get used to them but i find them awesome.
They do make bifocal contact lenses, they are just more expensive and some people have trouble getting good use out of them. talk to your doctor about getting a free trial pair to see how they work for you.
yes you can...

they have contacts in practically every shape and form...
it is frustrating the first few weeks when starting out..

but it is totally worth it...
dude contacts are beast. i have them and they rockkkkk. i hate how i look with glasses on too so this is perfect for you. i have really bright blue eyes and you cant even tell with glasses on. oh and if you get them, make sure you dont sleep in them even though the doc sayd its fine. i did once and the next morning i had to stay home because i thought i had a terrible case of pink eye..i was crying all day.
yup... talk to ur eye doctor person thing...
i have contacts.

I dont really have a prob. with them & now i dont worry about misplacing my glasses.

I havent worn glasses for 2 or 3 yrs now

You should get contacts!!!
Yes, of course you can, mate! All you have to do is make sure it's okay by talking to your doctor. They'll have to measure your eye, see what the shape of it is. That way the contact lenses fit comfortably.

Hope I helped, mate.

Cheers!
