“Lenses or glasses?”
Hello! I just want to get rid of glasses and change that to contact lenses and I am curious if there are any drawbacks to that. I am 20 year old and its been less than a year since I started wearing glasses. Kindly suggest if its okay to wear contact lenses.

You can wear contact lenses if you are careful with hygiene. The use of contact lenses can increase the risk of eye infection.
Yes you should get a contact lens fit
As long as the contact lenses are fit by a qualified eye doctor and you follow the care directions carefully, then this should be a good option for you. If you do not like the hassle of contact lens wear, but still want to see without glasses, laser vision correction is also a good option with proper testing to make sure you are a good candidate.
I hope this helps you.

Without knowing your prescription and health issues, I cannot advise with 100 percent certainty, but most likely it would not be a problem.

You're likely to be a good candidate, pending an eye examination. See an ophthalmologist or optometrist.
Should be no problem dependent upon your eye examination.
