Contacts / glasses?

Question

just wondering, do you have to wear glasses first before you can get contacts cause thats what ive heard

thanks!

Answer 1

You don't have to wear glasses first, I did though. I usaully depends on your age though because parents and eye doctors would rather have a nine year old have glasses for a few years before contacts so they would be responsible. But a teenager would probably get contacts right away.

Answer 2

The reason for getting glasses first is so that you don't end up over wearing the contacts and cause yourself some serious problems.

If you get contacts first , you may never get the glasses that are needed to give your eyes a break.

Answer 3

No way! you can get contacts first.

Answer 4

no, you can wear contacts without ever wearing glasses.

But you should still have a pair of glasses

because when you take your contacts out at night,

or before you put them in in the morning,

you want to be able to see =).

also, a lot of optomitrists will tell you

to go a day without wearing contacts

every once in a while

to give your eyes a break.
