Can I continue wearing contact lenses?
I've been wearing contact lenses since I was 12 years old. I'm 24 now. I don't have any problems yet but I'm worried continued use of lenses may cause issues. Should I switch to glasses or can I continue wearing contacts? I plan on getting LASIK done in the future as my power has not yet stabilized.
