Go for It
Erin
I have been wearing soft contact lenses since 1982. I have horrible eyesight and severe astigmatism.
I actually have worn the "old" hard contacts also. I bought contacts with my very first paycheck ever.
I don't know if it is just me but I actually feel cooler while wearing my contacts. I guess the lenses of my glasses seem to trap hot air under my eyes and make me feel warmer.
Unfortunately due to my advanced age I do need magnifiers to read up close, but to me , that is a small price to pay. Some brilliant person actually invented sunglasses with magnifiers built in which is wonderful while at the pool or beach.
So I would say give them a try, once you have your initial exam your eye doctor should give you a trial pair which you wear for a week or so, that should give you an idea if you will like them or not.
Good Luck hope everything works out for you.
