I wonder why you would think you have to graduate from glasses to wearing contact lens? The problem with wearing contact is the danger of eye infections that could result in loss of vision if you are not cautious about hygiene, and not leaving the contact lens on permanently because of risk of inflammation from foreign body. Learn more about the pro and cons of contact lens is more important.

Yes. No worries. Wear the contact lenses during the day and remove them at night. Even if the advertising claims it's ok to sleep with them in, it's not. Learn how to properly rinse and store your contacts. Enjoy your better vision!
