Well, do so if you're as fumble-fingered as me anyway.

I do lots of computer work and from what I've read some people say contacts aren't suitable for that. They also say that you need to rest your eyes for a day or two when wearing contacts. Now without glasses I'll be blind to anything further than a meter away...

It's been years since I wore them, and the technology has improved, but I recall the precisely the same worries about touching my eye. But you do quickly get used to it, and the contacts, for me, were both literal and metaphorical revelation. You stop noticing they're in (I've tried to adjust contact lenses before realising I hadn't put them in), and because they "fix" your eyes rather than (feel like) you've just put glasses on, it was, for me, a moment of pleasing clarity that stayed. I hope it is for you too.
Note, I essentially stopped wearing them, and glasses, because I am chronically lazy.
It wasn't because of any inherent problem with the contacts. I've only acquired glasses again just recently, ironically as my short-sightedness has become less of a problem (age and moving out from behind a monitor more often). I'll probably stay with glasses for the aesthetics (i.e. vanity
).
I hope they work out for you. I think it's a hope with reasonable probability of being satisfied.
