A member asked:
Is it possible for people with bad eyesight get by with just contacts and no glasses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but not ideal: As long as you clean your contact lenses well and use and replace them as directed, most people can wear them everyday. However, having a pair of glasses is important in case you do have a problem with your eyes or your lenses which means you cannot wear them temporarily.
