    Well these past couple of days my far sight vision has been SLIGHTLY blurry. Like with words, maybe 10 yards away, I would read slightly large letters without any trouble. Now I can still read them, its just blurry. Not too blurry but it sure is annoying. I am 13 so, I'm afraid to get glasses because I have had excellent vision for so long. And even objects in the distance are kinda blurry. Like I said, I can still read the words it just a bit blurry. So do I need glasses/contacts? And also is getting glasses more expensive or contacts? And ais one better then the other? THANKS! GOD BLESS! = D

    The only way to tell if you need vision correction is to go to they eye doctor. Just go in and tell him or her that you've been experiencing some slightly blurry vision. If this came on suddenly you need to go to the doctor asap because it could mean that something more serious is going on. Contacts are definitely more expensive than glasses but they're far more convenient and they don't change your appearance.

    There are many reason for seeing blury, many of times is due to refractive disorder(i.e. short sighted/ long sighted/astigmatism) where a pair of spectalces will help you to see clear again. But we cannot assume you are only suffering from refractive disorder because there can be other conditinos that make you see blurry.

    I advise you to visit an optometrist or eye doctor to have your eye check up before jumping into the conclusion. And contact lenses is secodary option where you should only consider that after you get a good pair of glasses.

    It sounds like you're gonna need one. But of course, you would need to consult your eye doctor for the right prescription. Always protect your eyes, sometimes our lifestyle has been a culprit and causing damage to the eyes. When you're in front of the computer, always rest your eyes, cause it can coz strain to the eyes, When going out, a glasses with UV protection is must, UV rays is very harmful to the retina. You can a also try colored contacts with UV protection, you can find these at Coco Contacts.
    When using colored contacts , always buy something that is sandwich technologic or the color is insde the lenses, otherwise it may coz irritation.

    None of us on here are qualified to advise you on this. Get yourself down to the opticians for an eye test. There's nothing to be scared of at all.

    Contacts are much more expensive than glasses, but if you're short-sighted then you would only need them for watching tv etc. so you wouldn't need them on all the time. If it is something more serious then it needs sorting sooner rather than later.
