    the curve in your eyes can change which worsens your vision. your vision normally stabilizes by age 30 or higher which im sure your mom has reached after that it will unlikely change again until you reach old age.

    if you noticed before you got contacts every year you got a worse perscription from your doctor anyway for glasses.

    if you have been wearing the same pair of contacts for 4 years its time to switch. otherwise your doctor (if you have been getting a yearly checkup) isnt giving you the right prescription.

    Or they are not giving you lenses made for astigmatism

    It's not the glasses or contacts making your eyes worse, it's that almost everyone's eyesight decreases as they age! This would happen whether or not you wore contacts/glasses.

    Your vision has changed...and it has nothing to do with your contacts or glasses, they would have changed anyway.

    It's completely normal that nearsightedness increases over time.

    How did you get to need glasses or contacts to begin with ??...it's because your vision changes as you grow.

    Why did you get contacts? Was it because your eyes deteriorated to the point where you needed them? It wasn't the contacts that caused that, was it? (the answer it no, by the way).

    Why did your mother get glasses? Was it because her eyes deteriorated to the point where she needed them? It wasn't the glasses that caused that, was it? (the answer is still no).

    I don't mean to be a smart ass, but come on... Glasses and contacts don't do anything except focus the light that goes through them. If eyes get better or worse, glasses and contacts have nothing to do it with (just like they didn't when you first needed contacts). It's just common sense.

    your eyes get used to relying on the prescription and they don't function the same anymore without them, its the same thing for glasses
    i have this relative who is around 80 and his eyesight is really good whereas mine was okay and when i got glasses it got worse (same thing for my brother) and im only a teen so yeah...
