I've been wearing contact lenses for three years now, and recently a friend told me they're bad for your eyes and your vision will only get worse. Is this a myth or do I really need to switch to glasses?
That's a myth, contact lenses don't damage your vision if you take proper care of them. I wore lenses for about five years, had regular eye exams with an ophthalmologist - my vision stayed stable. The main thing is to maintain hygiene, don't sleep in them unless they're special overnight lenses, and don't strain your eyes. If you're comfortable in lenses and your doctor says everything's fine, there's no reason to switch to glasses just because of what your friend said.
