Who wears contact lens or specs?

Wanda SG

If you wear contact lenses (or specs) for short-sightedness, have you ever experience a decrease in your degree of short-sightedness? How do you know it's happening, esp if you wear contact lenses?

Pls share your experience. Thanks. Smile

how to have decrease in short sightedness when you are wearing contacts and specs?

from my understanding u can't decrease ur degree unless u haf some treatment like some special specs or wat.

but i read somewhere that ur degree will tend to increase if you wear specs due to the fact that the lenses only cover part of your vision and as such ur eyes often haf to adjust.

but lenses will contain ur degree cos they cover your vision fully.

not too sure about above, i might be wrong

Ya it's true wearing lenses helps to stabilise the degree better...if only I'd started on them earlier. Sigh...

I have come across 1 or 2 friend/relative whose degree did dropped, including one which dropped by a couple of hundred degree. Was told it's rare, only about 5% of cases of decrease in degree, but it's possible.

You sure you can recognise your darling from afar? Don't call the wrong guy ok? Laughing

Your short-sightedness must be low then. Astig is a bit more troublesome when it comes to wearing contact lenses.

Wanda SG

I suspect we can train the eyes to improve...think mine has dropped by 50 to 75 degree over the years. Or it could be wrong diagnosis by an earlier optician - over correction. Sad

thinger SG

specs look so much hotter.

hmm, and i can usually never be bothered with my contacts...

JLennon SG

eh, how come i saw you in specs at the shisha pub the last time?

Kenashi SG

Wore specs for 15 yrs.
during school days, the degree kept increasing, nowaday it has stopped.
I think it is more due to yr habits than the specs.

u might not need specs if u're short sighted.

But u'd definitely need one if it's astigmatism
