would you have glasses or contact lenses? i have glasses and don't think that i would want to shift to having contact lenses. i think they are much hassle and expensive to keep with the solutions, etc. i like my glasses. what about you?

I love my eyeglasses too! - cat with eyeglasses
I tried contact lenses one time and could never get used to them so I gave up. Then I got to the point I'm at now where I need bi focals so contacts wouldn't work anyway!

Hello Spoiled311 I have glasses, I don't like the way they look on me, but I've had people say I look better with them. Anyway, I think contacts are too expensive, and I would lose them right away. Plus keeping up with the solutions. Plus I don't really like the idea of putting something in my eye like that =/ Yay for laser eye surgery!

yeah, the solutions are really expensive. i think they are high maintenance.

I have glasses. I want to replace them with contact lenses. But I learnt that contact lenses are very expensive and these require special care. I also learnt that these can only be fit in eye optical by an operation, which means that it is also some thing difficult to install in eye. So I agree with you that the glasses are better than contact lenses.

I personally love my contacs. I hate wearing glasses, and think I just look a bit better with contacs. Also, to me, glasses are more of a hassle than anything. Contacs, you just put in and go. You don't have them fogging up on you in the cold to the warm, they don't get drops on them if it starts raining, and your perifrial (sp?) vision is clear as day also! Good luck with whatever you choose hun!

No, I don't have both. If I have myopia, I will wear contact lenses. If wear glasses the eyes will be changed, it will be edema.
