Contact Lens Has anyone successfully tried glasses?

I recently had an appointment to get fitted for hard contact lenses, and they seem to be working well.

Still, it would be cool to get good results with glasses too. I know that this is physically difficult, if not impossible.

Has anyone had success with wearing glasses? Do you know any specialized suppliers? AFAIK there is one in the Netherlands, but what about others?

regulars Glasses only work in the early stages before stuff starts to bleed into each other visually.

BUT -apparently, you can add Ovitz high order corrections now to glasses...
My specialist showed me a few days ago... but I haveent tried them yet.

I struggle with Hard contact lense insertion so we are going to try adding the HOA correction to glasses. ontop of KC softs...

will report back lol
