Is it possible for me to use contacts and glasses at the same time to improve my vision?

Question

I am legally blind but still able to work. My eyesight seems to be getting worse and I need to improve it as much as possible.

Answer 1

well.. if u wear contacts and glassess u will be unable to see

its like a person with 20-20 wearing glasses  

Answer 2

It's possible to wear eyeglasses and contacts ... often people will have contacts set for distance and medium sight, and use a pair of non-prescription reading glasses for computer work.

Talk to your eye doctor, AND your employer ... they know what you need better than a bunch of strangers on the internet.  

Answer 3

that depends on you diagnosis.  do you have an eye disease?

if you don t have any corneal or retinal issues, i would say yes.

Answer 4

lol!!!

Answer 5

If you are legally blind and it seems to be getting worse, please see your eye doctor ASAP, your eye disease may be changing.

Are you registered as a blind person with whatever agency provides services to blind people where you live?  If not, ask your eye doctor to register you.  If you are, call them and ask about low vision aids.  In most places they will supply low or no cost vision aids and may be able to help pay for any changes your employer needs to make to your work space to accommodate your disability.

Answer 6

the best way to improve your vision is to spend as much time as possible without glasses or contacts in...just try and let your eyes relax..and when they are out try to focus everything and over time your eye will begin to get better..it is not a fast process...but if your not patient enough than the only thing i can request is lazer eye surgery...my uncle got it and he sees perfect now

Answer 7

No, I wouldn't recommend it, but it's possible.  I have did this by accident slept in my contacts and put my glasses on.  It made me dizzy and automatically took the glasses of my face.  Maybe if you had a not so strong contact and then wore glasses that would make you see 20/20 from where your contacts leave off.  I think that would be silly and very expensive.  Have you thought about getting an eye surgery, to repair the blindness?  If they can't completely correct it, they may be able to get your vision good enough that you can get regular glasses and see 20/20 from them.  Just food for thought.  I hope this helps.
