Okay I have tried contacts once before (once for one day) and I just HATE them. I love my glasses, so I always sticked by them. My vision is terrible so I need my glasses 24/7, and sometimes it causes headaches depending on my glasses ALL THE TIME even to wake up in the middle of the night just to see what time it is. Anyways, I have been with glasses for four years, and still my vision is just getting worse. I can't see ethier from far or close now. I went to several eye doctors, and they have no explanation for it, so I just left it alone.
I'm going to be attending college and I'm gonna go to acting class, play basketball, swimming, etc, and I considered using contact lenses cause well i need them, but I heard that contact lenses worsen your vision.
My vision is bad enough, so I wouldnt want it to get worse, so are contact lenses good or bad? yes or no? does it depend on the individual, etc?
If i do get contact lenses, I would wear those daily throwaway contact lenses (for a few hours for the classes I need them in) but I will mostly be using my glasses. Would switching between glasses and lenses, be bad for my vision?
Update:From reports and studies and people who used contact lenses ,talking about eye infections and how it made their vision worse and doctors saying that it will damage your retina. I have been i nthe internet alot LOL Thank you for your answer =]

Where did you hear contact lenses made your vision worse? That sounds like crazy talk to me.
I have had my contacts for almost two years and my vision neither improved nor got worse. It stayed exactly the same. In fact, I see better with my contacts (20/10 vision in both eyes) then I do with my glasses (20/20 in both eyes). I prefer contacts because I dont get headaches with them (I am like you in that aspect) and because I get amazing vision with them.

In answer to your question, no switching between glasses and contacts will not hurt your vision.
Today just about everyone can wear contact lenses, and there are more healthful and convenient contact lens options than ever before. Contact lenses are used to correct the same conditions that eyeglasses correct. For all details, information and remedies about contacts check out http://sumiram2006.googlepages.com/contactlenses
No contacts are not bad for your eyes they improve your vision and it is so nice to not to have to wear your glasses and you can wear more eye make up too..the only bad thig is if you do not take care of the contacts like not cleaning or storing them properly.
