I was also in the small group of folks that started needing distance glasses post maturity. (Apparently it is most common in folk who read or work up close a lot, and may be a "weakness" that was always there that gets harder to force away, but I digress.)

My guess is that (once you get past the creepiness of putting the contacts in your eyes) you will prefer the contacts to the frames as they aren't on your face and give yuo better peripheral vision. But you may find that you need the readers more once you have the contacts in for distance -- though there are odd contact solutions for that, too.

(I wore contacts almost all the time for a number of years, but then my eyes seemed to get tired of them -- now I wear them mostly to referee [soccer, not hoops; I just lurk hear from interest].)
