Should I Convert Back To Glasses?

I started wearing contacts more than 5 yrs ago, when I was 14, and I’ve been having problems ever since! Because I had dry eye, I switched from yearly contacts to disposable, which was great until my astigmatism presented itself. The optometrist says yearly lenses are tougher built so light and watery disposables may not be the best for astigmatism.
I like the contacts I wear now b/c they are monthlys, except sometimes I can’t see perfectly clear when reading the board or projector in class, but its worse esp on the computer. This is why I can’t get good work done on the computer until I come home and change into glasses.
My doctor suggested cleaning methods, that didn’t work, but he advocates hard lenses, which I really don’t want to do b/c they hurt! The pros of wearing glasses all day everywhere: I wouldn’t have problems doing computer work and I could nap for long w/o worrying abt constantly opening my eyes. Cons: I’m not used to wearing glasses all day anymore, I don’t look so cute in my glasses, so the only places I would wear my contacts would be when I dress up :/
If I were seriously converting back to glasses, I might pay all that money to get a more trendy pair, but I just got a new box of contacts! My dad suggests buying those glasses you can wear over your contacts to reduce computer glare.
What do you suggest?!
