For those 4-eyed PTers....

I wanted to chime in and recommend you get a backup pair -

I agree completely. Many of our patients who wear contacts don't wear their glasses at all any more. They either don't even have them any more or the prescription is so old that they don't work for them. We always caution our contact lens wearers especially to keep an updated pair of glasses on hand. I have even had people say they would call out of work sick before wearing glasses again. These are the same people who call at the end of the day, way overdue for an exam, and say they need to be seen right away because their last pair of contacts just tore.
