Hi not sure where to post this so here goes....
I wanted to ask other photographers about their experiences of vision impairment, wearing glasses or contact lenses.
About two months ago I was told I would need glasses for driving and reading. I got my glasses prescription and I went out and bought some contact lenses based upon the vision loss written on my glasses prescription. The contact lenses I got still left me with blurred vision. I wore a few sets for a few days to make sure that it was not just my eyes trying to adjust to them but my vision remained blurred with them in.
Then I got my glasses and my vision has become great when wearing those, I do find it tricky sometimes to wear my glasses whilst using my camera though. Do others have trouble using their camera with their glasses on I wonder? I am using a Nikon D3000 which doesn't have live view. Having never had any problems with my eyesight up until now I am not very knowledgeable about the whole subject. Would contact lenses be any better for me? when you buy contact lenses are they supposed to be a different power than what a prescription for glasses would suggest?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
