I've worn contacts for...oh my goodness, 37 years or more now. My vision is
quite bad and I can't stand the 'fishbowl' feel of glasses, so my money goes to contacts when needed and rarely to glasses. In just the last few years I've had to switch to a multi-focal contact which took a few to get used to, but I left my glasses at my old Rx because I only use them to read at night.
I finally just recently got multi-focal glasses and wow, I've discovered they correct much better than the contacts but almost too much, and there are some hiccups for me (like walking down stairs, yikes, could never work out in those!) to where I still would wear my contacts all the time, even if the vision correction isn't as clear. Everything
BigBadBetty said is my experience as well.
The eye doc also told me it's hard to predict between multi-focal lens brands how people will respond or achieve correction, which is why they give you free trial pairs to wear before committing to a purchase. I trialed two new-to-me supposedly higher-end brands than what I was used to and found I didn't like them at all!
Good luck with whatever you decide!
