I got contacts several months ago to help improve my vision (I fly
airplanes), but my vision isn't necessarily that bad. I basically
can't read small print across a room, etc. but up close is fine. My
question is, does it effect my vision any (for the worse) if I wear
contacts all day long? I mostly only notice when I'm driving that I
can see clearer now, but working at a desk all day barely improves my
vision. |

Dear Friend,
Subject: Keeping the minus contact off -- unless necessary.
There are pilots and second-opinion optometrists who
recommend reduced use of a minus lens. Here is
some commentary for your interest.

As anybody on this forum will tell you, you're best off ignoring Otis.
He's not a doctor, though he did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Dear Otis,
That website and your website ( http://www.myopiafree.com ) helped
clear my vision from 20/60 to 20/15 a few years ago.
Thank you very much, Otis, for all your help.
Best regards,
Soon
P.S. I have created a website to help enlighten other people.

There are also people who won't walk under ladders or step on cracks in the
sidewalk.

If you have a small degree of myopia, then the contacts or glasses
will provide better vision at distances greater than 6 to 10 ft but
make little difference for things closer.
Wearing the contacts all day or only once in a while will not make
your eyes better or worse, you can suit yourself and wear them or
not. If life is easier with them on full time, then wear full time.
