Yes, you can definitely wear contacts if you have myopia or nearsightedness.
You should have your eyes examined fully in order to determine how much myopia is present and if there is any associated astigmatism present. Once you know this information, you and your eye doctor can determine what type of contact lens is best for you. There are daily, weekly, 2-week lenses, monthly, and quarterly available. What you decide upon will be based upon your occupational, personal, and recreational needs as well as the insurance and cost factors. Good luck and best wishes.

Yes.
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, contact lenses are available to correct not only myopia (near sightedness), but hyperopia (far sightedness) as well. Contact lenses can also correct a wide variety of prescriptions that have astigmatism as well.
