A member asked:
Is wearing contact lens better or spectacles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Personal choice: There are a few refractive needs that contact lenses will correct better such as high myopia and keratoconus. But for most, the visual needs can be met with either device. So it is a personal choice about convenience and cosmetics for most.
