I wish I could wear contacts,but my degree of astigmatism is so bad that even the special weighted ones don't give me good vision.
It doesn't matter though,as most people seem not to be able to decide whether I look better with or without glasses...which I choose not to take as an insult
I am so used to them now;they are part of me.
The only thing is that I love to snorkel,and I don't see very much through goggles! Only in the US have I found prescription goggle lenses for rental...
