I been wearing eye glasses since I was a child. In the begenning I think it was cool but as I grew up it makes my life a bit difficult in someways like people most of the time accidentally hit my glasses making it deformed or sometimes unfit to wear and needed to be replaced. Going to optical shop to buy a new one eats up time and money. I like to play basketball but I need to take it off and wear my contact lens.

Eye glasses are hindrance on cold days, and on sports court. Contact lenses are not suggested for people allergic to lens contact, and the daily change itself is a burden. Therefore young people are mostly wearly both depending on cases. However, I recently learned glasses are also of decorating value. The different designs and colors are fashionable approach to becoming cool, esp. the black frames and red frames, popular for boys and girls. Even the elderly can use glasses to help hide their eye wrinkles and penda rings around the eyes.

I also have worn glasses since I was a child. I now have switched totally to contacts simply because they're more convenient. If I need to wear sunglasses I don't have to buy prescription type sunglasses. I just wear the type you can buy just about anywhere that are a whole lot cheaper than photo lenses or prescription type sunglasses. I don't have to continually clean my contacts either because they've smudges on them. That used to drive me nutso! I also now need reading glasses which I've just purchased a pair in a dollar store and wear them instead of having the extra expense of bi-focals. I've priced photo grey lenses with bi-focals and they are quite pricey!

I supposed to wear glasses. But I dont like to because they give me headaches. They also seem to get in my way and they get fogging in the cold weather. I only will wear them if driving. Luckily my eyes arnt as bad as they could be so I can get away with not wearing them.
