Is this prescription considered to be strong?

My eye doctor's assistant was quite surprised when I said that I've never worn glasses before. She said it's unusual to first get glasses at my age (I'm 20) at this strength. Will the lenses be thick? What material should I use for them (glass, plastic etc).

Prescription:

Left: -1.75
Right: -1.75
Added (1). I'm a female so I should have stopped growing by now.
Added (2). IMPORTANT: WHAT LENS MATERIAL SHOULD I ASK FOR?

Is wearing contact lenses to a party a good idea?

Like say I'm going to get drunk at a party. I'm scared I'm not going to be able to get them out or forget to. I haven't done it yet and I just got contacts but I heard as you gain experience with them its really easy to take out and that it would be okay to get drunk with them on if I have experience taking them out. What are your views on this subject? Any personal experience?

Can I use Acuvue Moist Daily contacts twice in a day?

For example, if I want to take a nap for an hour or two, can I take the contacts out, put them in the solution, and then put them on again after I wake up?

Another scenario: pretty similar to the above, but can I take them out for 4 to 5 hours (after wearing them for 6-8 hours), put them in the solution, and put them on again?

All answers are appreciated.

Can Tinea, eczema or drematitis spread to the eyes through contact lenses? Which part of it?

I have history of skin problem. It kind of Tinea, Ecezma or drematitis ( m not sure what it called ). It happens about 12years ago on my right hand since I was 11years old or s.th. When I wash clothes, or dishes, it will come. It was itchy, little rashes (with fluid in it), and my skin peels off. Sometimes come and sometime gone. When I use some Cotrimazole cream on It, it become better or gone. Till now, it come sometime, but not much like before since I stop washing clothes or clean dish. Sometimes, skin around my fingers are peels off.

I start using contact lenses for 4-5years already and never have any problem. But, 2months ago, I started eyestrain since I use iPad a lot, sleep less, look at closer items for long time, drink 4glasses of coffee every day with less water consumption and always stay in front of fan. So I visited Dr, and my eyes back to ok. He told I can use contact lenses sometime as I need.

During that time I use lubricate tears that'd gave me and use contact lenses once a week. These 3 I start having eyelids inflamed 2days after my 2nd day of wearing contact lenses. So, I visited another Dr. Gave me some medicines. 1eyedrops said for inflammation treatment, but long term use can cause fungus illness to eye or corneal. I used it for 1week already. Today, I visited him and he just check my eyelids and told me that my eyelids are almost fine now. So, I need to use it more, if better no need to visit him again.
Added (1). He said sometimes contact lenses solution can cause problem to eyes, but if I want to use it on next 2week is ok. I really need to use contact lenses since I have myopia. He told me to use eyedrops till my eyes are fine, but m not sure when. That eyedrops also can cause corneal and sclear thinner. Morever, I still worry even now my hands are fine, but skin problem can related to fungus. So, how long after stop using that eyedrops are fine before start using my contact lenses?

Why do I feel more confident wearing glasses?

Glasses, not sunglasses… A lot of people feel more confident wearing sunglasses because they can stare at people without them knowing, but that's not my case… I feel more confident wearing glasses, I'm still confident enough without glasses but I'd rather wear them twenty four seven… They make me feel super confident!

Big jump from no prescription?

Went to the optometrist for the first time in a while and was quite surprised by the results of the various tests. The doctor's assistant kept asking whether I had worn glasses before when she saw the prescription the machine printed out. She also wrote that my VA is 20/100 in my right eye and 20/200 in my left.

The doctor said that my prescription is not too mild and that nobody goes from 0 to my prescription overnight. She said I should wear glasses more or less all the time except when I'm at home doing nothing that requires me to see far away.

The prescription is -1.75 in both eyes. Is this really bad or was the reaction just hype?
Added (1). She also said that most people get glasses much sooner than I did but that my progression was understandable because my older sister also became nearsighted at a relatively late stage and now wears -7 lenses.
Added (2). She said my eyes probably started getting bad two years ago!
Added (3). Yeah, I was kinda surprised as well but I think she didn't want to go up to -2 in the left eye because I could read the 20/20 line with both eyes open.
Added (4). Just -1.75 in the left eye. No other numbers. I guess I could sort of see the 20/200 line if I really squinted but it was very blurry. My guess is that the doctor thought the right eye was seeing perfectly so the left could be kept at -1.75 without any problems?

Everything on this list totals a little over $1000, so if the responses to this question say it's reasonable; I'm going to leave it up to them to decide what to get me.

Can I still get glasses even if I might not need them?

The last time I took an eye exam was a year ago, maybe longer, but my doctor said I didn't need glasses. But I feel like I need them to see things from a distance, like I can't see the number of the bus until it's a second or two away, otherwise it's a blur of green and my sister, who wears a strong prescription of glasses can see it. It's embarrassing to line up and make the driver stop then change my mind when I see it. In class I have to squint/strain to make out the shapes of the letters and if I look across the room and someone's facing my general direction, I can't tell if they're looking at me when they talk. I set an appointment through lens crafters and though I have yet to take the exam I'm sure they would say I don't need it since last time I was just as confident I needed glasses, but they obviously said I didn't. People (not professionals) say it's probably because I work so much on computers?

I'm getting glasses, help?!

Im getting glasses soon. My eye exam is finished. I am scared of a couple things and i'd like to hear about people's experience with glasses.

1. Do I have to wear them all the time (Im near sighted and I cannot see far distance well)

2. I am a girl, and I am self conscious because i've tried on some frames, and they don't look good on me. (The frames fit my face shape, its just that I really don't look good with glasses.) Do I use make up or. Anything else

3. Proper cleaning techniques

4. I play sports, so will I need them or not

Thanks guys.

What do I do if I accidentally wore ripped contact lenses?

When I put on my contacts this morning I didn't know it was ripped. During the day I kept feeling there was something in my eye but didn't think much of it. When I got home and took it off I realised there was a rip in the middle
I wore it for about 12 hours. Do I need to get my eyes checked?

Eye is half shut, red, watery, and irritated?

So I was watching tv and went to lie down, then my eye became very itchy and irritated so I went to go check it out in a mirror and saw my eye half shut, red, watery, and felt very irritated. At first I thought it was my contact lens but I then took it out, still was irritated so I thought I may have had another contact lenses in there but didn t see one. It looks really strange and was wondering any ways to get this healed. Thanks
