Switching from glasses to contacts?

Question

im wearing glasses fro the past 12 years, so im planning to switch to contacts, so if i wear contacts for 7 - 8 months, what physical changes can happen to my eyes?

they are now so deep set, they are smaller than how they were when i started using glasses, some people say that is because of lack of air that reaches the eyes? is this correct?

and can glasses cause dark circles?

thanx

Answer 1

from what i know about contact lenses there kinda uncomfortable at first. i have heard some cause irratibilty and they are noticable. someone with contacts has dark color on the brims of their eyes. but after a month or so you won't even feel that they're there.

Answer 2

Glasses don't block air from getting to your eyes at all. It's contacts that do, if you wear them for longer than they are meant to be worn.

Glasses can cause scars on your nose from where the nosepads sit, but not dark circles that i know of.

There won't be any physical changes to your eyes from wearing contacts unless you abuse your contacts. Just be sure to change your contacts when they need to be changed (2 weeks or 1 month, depending on the lens), clean them properly, and don't sleep in them unless they're approved for that. Your eye doctor will tell you exactly how to take care of them and your eyes will be fine.

Answer 3

There is no truth in what you said, sorry. Wearing glasses cannot alter your eye shape or size, neither can they cause dark circles.

Soft contact lenses do nothing to your eye shape, just the RGP ones do this because the are hard and can press the cornea into a different shape. This effect is reversible, usually in a few hours but sometimes over a few days if you've worn them constantly for many years.

There is a risk of infection with contact lenses and some other complications if you do not follow your opticians advise. Just listen to them and do exactly as they say in regards to cleaning and wear times.

Good luck!
