If you spend a lot of time at a computer I would suggest glasses over contacts (especially disposables). I had to go back to glasses for that reason. Also you can take glasses on and off with ease when you switch tasks - contacts not so much. My experience is that the glasses are a better way to go in the long term if you don't need to wear them all the time.

If you are going to go with the contacts, I would recommend going to the 'fitting' appiontment (they're fairly cheap) and asking to have a couple differant brands to try. I found that one brand my friends were happy with did NOT work for me while what worked for me did not work for my sister and so on. I went through a few of those trial pairs before I found one that I was really comfortable with. (I liked Aquview 2 but even they were problematic when I had to start working at a comp for 8 hours a day).

Also, if you're having middistance problems now you will most likely need glasses in the forseeable future for first night time driving then driving all together. I'm not sure what your age is now but this is the standard progression for the near sighted. Infact if you need them for school activities (such as reading the board) already you probably should be wearing them when you're driving at night especially already.
