A member asked:
I am farsighted, and i need vision correction, but should i get glasses or contacts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both, either: Either way of correcting your vision is fine. Contact lenses will provide better peripheral vision , unencumbered by the edges of a fram. It truly depends on what best fits your lifestyle. All contact lens wearers should have a spectacle backup.
