I understand completely - what will happen if you get contacts is that you will have to use reading glasses while at the computer but no need to take them on or off. Think of it like a bifocal. The glasses would be the bottom portion and your contacts (and looking over the glasses) would be the top. The nice thing about reading glasses - they are cheap and you can get different strengths. I would start at something like a 1 or 1.25 and go from there. I eliminate the "woosy" part of reading bifocals by just taking the glasses off when I leave my computer.

It's worth talking to your optomalogist (s?) about.
