Wearing glasses effect eyes?

This is my 3rd day wearing contacts. I've never wore glasses or contacts before. I took it off this afternoon and notice my eye vision sort of got a little worst. Things that use to not be as blurry seem to became more blurry. So...is it true that wearing glasses or contacts cause your eyes to depend on it? Does that make your vision worst?

In my opinion someone should never go from no glasses to contacts. They should go no glasses to glasses and then some to contacts.

Stop wearing the contacts and get in touch with whomever fit you.

Glasses and contacts do not make the vision worse but contacts can injure the eye.

Generally not. Maybe you are more aware of the characteristics of your own vision because the contacts strengthen it.

The doctors here will answer you soon.
