I wear contacts and was experiencing the same thing as you. I finally caved in and went to the eye doctor. I was at that age where they're ready to put you in bifocals. So what she did was give me one contact for reading and sewing, and one for seeing distance. I wear them both, and it took about 2 weeks for my brain to adjust. Somehow, magically, I just see now. God help me if I ever get them mixed up though ~ then I'm in a world of trouble :) But I see so much better with contacts than glasses...
