i'm somewhat opposite and lucky at the same time. i wore soft lenses during college and for about 15-20 years into my work life (I have a desk job). as i got older, my allergies started to kick in, so i stopped wearing them.
fortunately for me, i have mono-vision, meaning one eye is far-sighted, the other near-sighted. i don't wear anything - no contacts, no glasses. i get an eye exam every year with my ophthalmologist and have a prescription for seeing near or far, and i have bifocals for that, but i only use them at night. my prescription has remained stable. i also read a book about improving your vision without glasses that was, haha, eye-opening. i don't do all of the exercises in the book, but the takeaway for me was that your eyes can become dependent on glasses/contacts. your eyes have muscles in them and it's good practice to do exercises for them. that said, as i get older, i notice i need more light to do close up work like sewing. for close-up work, i have a magnifying swing-arm lamp and several hand-held magnifying glasses around the house. i can read from far distances. my computer screen is pretty far away from wear i sit - 3' away in fact. there's even a workout (back on topic!) - Yoga for Your Eyes DVD - that i have. https://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Your-Eye...1%2CB07RFSW939
