Are contact lenses or glasses better for correcting vision problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Refraction: Either contact lenses or eyeglasses can correct near-sightedness, far-sightedness or astigmatism. If there is another eye problem such as dry eyes, ocular inflammation, or infection, glasses may be the better choice.
