Hello
A. You can use contact lens
B. you can't wear contact lenses through out the day ...eyes need rest also.
In my opinion,use contact lens during your office hours or for occasions ( party/ functions). At home,prefer spectacles

You can continue using contact lenses, if you don't have any problem with them. But don't wear them beyond 8 hrs a day and do follow the instructions of your Dr.
You should always have glasses as standby because you have to wear them rest of the time.
