Glasses or softlenses?

I have been wearing glasses for a long time. I did try before wearing contact lenses but then my eyes got irritated with it. And I believe, that prolong use of contact lenses would somehow scratch the surface of our eyes and it is dangerous. There are a lot of stylish eyeglasses we could use to make us attractive and less a bit of a nerd.

Hello Caesarin , I don't use either . but if it was to me I would like to use glasses , some fashoinabl glasses , it makes me looks wiser but not nerd :D have a good time

I only wear glasses because trying to put anything in my eyes is not pausible for me. I wish I could wear contacts. Thankfully I only have to wear glasses when I'm driving or watching TV or at the movies.

I prefer contact lens than glasses. One reason is that glasses don't look good on me. My glasses are the rimless ones which looks just okay on me. I use this only when I am at home or when I am on the airplane. My contact lens are excellent. They don't dry easily. I wear them everyday for around eleven hours. I don't use those lubricants to wet the lens anymore. Contact lens for me are really convenient. I usually get the contacts good for one year.

If by softlenses you mean contacts, then I prefer contacts. Reason being is that contacts provide and less noticeable look and I dislike glasses. The bad part about contacts is they do dry out your eyes and they can get very annoying. They can also irritate your eye and after a while it will begin to irritate you. Overall contacts are better, though even if they are harder to put on.

I prefer soft lenses I don't know I just don't feel that glasses fit me or I just haven't found any frames that fit me yet but I really love the whole contact thing though.

Hello! I use soft contacts and I've been using if for about 20 years. I am thinking about getting a pair of glasses soon though, because I am having a same problem as you had, soft contacts dries out my eyes and I have to carry an eye drops to everywhere!!! I use them in a right way, I don't overuse and treat it well but simply my eyes gets too dry. My fiance had eye surgery about 7 years ago and so far so good, he asked me if I consider of getting it too, I can't say I do at this point because I am not sure if it is really safe or good for my eyes. I will probably research more about it but before that, I seriously need to get a glasses!

I used to wear contact lenses for everyday use, however, when I got several eye infections one after the other, I opted for glasses. They are very comfortable and practical. I still use contact lenses but only during the weekend. I was thinking of buying a new pair of glasses for Summer too.

You are right i too use glasses and soft lenses. I keep glasses for everyday use and lenses for parties weddings etc. Of course i have a stylish one to match the new trend.

I prefer glasses anytime mostly when im reading or watching television. And contact lenses only when i go out. I don't have any problems with lenses though coz i use disposable ones which is one time use only.

I got both, too. I know how annoying contacts can be! Especially during May and June. That's where my hay fever always starts. I really, really hate it. When my eyes start to itch, it's so uncomfortable to be wearing contacts. Last year, I lost so many contacts because of that stupid hay fever. So during that time I love wearing my glasses, cuz it's so comfortable. Most of the times, I prefer my contacts over my glasses because I can't wear my glasses when I work out for instance. But like I said before, sometimes they are extremely annoying. I also have the problem that my eyes dry out when I've worn them the entire day. And they break so easily, too.

I have been wearing glasses for many years - alot of my friends try to convince me to get lenses, however, I'm somewhat use to my glasses..My husband uses both glasses and lenses...The problem with him is that he is always losing his glasses and he is alwyas forgeting to take his lenses out before bedtime..hhahah..

I am using glasses and no lenses. Actually, I am using glasses since the time I was 12. Never tried my hands on lenses just because I feared it would hurt my eyes when I try to stick it up on retina, as I was told by my friends then. And after reading that eyes become dry because of lenses I would prefer to stay with my glasses on. Lol

i wore glasses most of my life so far.... but wouldn't you prefer to have lasik surgery? but glasses would be my choice out of the two. but when doing physical activity, i would want to have contacts, i wouldn't want my glasses flying around...

I wear both glasses and contacts, interchangably. Usually glasses, though, because contacts usually just irritate my eyes and give me headaches. It's kind of annoying. I agree with you, I usually only use my contacts (or "softlenses" as you called them) on special occasions where I'd rather not deal with the hassle of having to wear glasses.

I prefer to wear glasses than softlenses it is because softlenses like contact lenses gives you more restrictions than contact lenses. Like for example, you are not allowed to do this or nearby to an object that can damage on the medium. I remembered one of my co office worker last year in a call center company here in the Philippines. That was during our mid shift when her contact lenses were torn into half on her left eye. We tried to remove it by but all means like to make her tears come out so that it would come out. Her eyes were already that red. The half of it was removed but the other was stuck and the worst was it was later slid on her upper cornea. Thank God the other half was removed in one of the nearby hospital in our office and the doctor told up that he we came late to bring her, she could have lost her left sight.
