A member asked:
Can i use reading glasses with my contacts on, together?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Usually contacts are used to correct your distance vision. Reading glasses then are needed for patients who (usually after 40yrs of age) have lost their near vision. Many patients use over the counter readers over the contacts for near vision.
