    Glasses or Contacts - need advice quick!

    My annual eye appointment is tomorrow. I've been wearing contacts (mono vision, daily wear) for the past five years. They are good because I can usually see what I want with no problems. My distance vision is compromised as is my near vision. I teach spinning & do other physical activities, so contacts are a definite plus.

    OTOH, as I mature (cough cough) I'm needing stronger contacts for my bad eye. That means even more compromise in near & far objects. I'm thinking about getting regular contacts (the ones you put in solution) for spinning, pilates, running, etc. & then switching to glasses for the rest of my life. OR, getting a tad weaker contact & using reading glasses.

    Any experience with glasses vs contacts? Can you really see a lot better with glasses so that putting up with them is worth it? I really like wearing contacts because they're so easy - but I like seeing too.
