Eye Glasses or Contacts?

I had to get glasses when I was three years old. When my doctor did my eye-test, he told me to look at the chart and tell me what letter I saw. I said, "What chart?" The other kids called me "glasses girl", and I found it terribly offensive for some reason. Even wound up in tears multiple times. In elementary school I was branded a geek, for being quiet, shy, smart, and wearing glasses all the time. I kinda hated it. I hated wearing glasses. I didn't outright rebel like some kids did, I wore them diligently and didn't "lose" them. But when I found out I could get contacts, I jumped at the opportunity. I've worn contacts since I was 14. I prefer them because I can hardly feel them, so my vision correction is practically invisible. I don't like the way glasses make me look, and I've never found a style that I liked the look of. Contacts have their own set of problems, but I prefer that set of problems.

After wearing glasses since the age of about 7, I prefer now to wear contacts. I feel much more confident with my contact lenses and I find them so much more comfortable then glasses. Having said that I do still have glasses and wear them every now and then when I am having a lazy day and do not have to go anywhere.

I use contacts during important or special occasions while glasses during an ordinary day. Contacts makes us more comfortable and cooler when it has different color. But i observed that it makes my eye dry and that is what makes me uncomfortable that you still need to drop water to avoid it and glasses sometimes makes my ears hurt. I also use glasses that has designs to enhance my look and at the same time sharpens my sight

I am wearing glasses since I was 18 year old. Last years at school was hard, because I had difficult seeing what our teachers are writing on the board. When I started my first job, an year or so after my eyes problem, I already needed wearing glasses, because I was working with people and couldn't afford handling my weak eyes vision. Then we bought my first glasses. I am wearing now my 3rd type of glasses and I feel great with them. When I was buying my second type I was wondering to buy contacts or again glasses and I was so used to see my face with glasses, that I just couldn't think of buying contacts and how I would look wearing them. Simply said I couldn't say goodbye to my face with glasses and then I bought the second type, now the 3rd.

I have healthy eyes and I don't have to wear both. but if I were on your position, I would choose glasses than contact lenses. Contact lense is fashionable and looks cool, but I love to see people with glasses. moreover, use glasses is more natural and safe

I also do have a bad eyesight and i'm only using eyeglasses because when I ask my optometrist which is better she said eyeglasses. Acoording to her contacts can trigger the vision of our eyes grow up easily.She adds that it also last for only months unlike glasses that can sustain for years.

i prefer glasses because they're easy to wear and doesn't expire unlike the contacts they expire, they may damage your eyes if you're putting them on and you have to buy the solution so you have to pay more than the glasses.

Eye glasses. It is less irritating and low in maintenance.

i think i prefer eyeglasses, because contact lenses makes your eyes iritate sometimes. they need an extra fluid that will make you need to cost some money for that. and if you put the contact lenses with your bare hands but you forgot to wash it, then its gonna be a problem

I use contacts!!! I have practically been wearing them since way back that nobody would even believe I have bad eyesight!! My vision is -400 on both eyes.

I prefer contacts for many reasons, including many that have already been mentioned. But a very big reason for me is how people treat me. With thick lenses such as I have, people have trouble seeing your eyes. Whether they are conscious of that or not, it makes them uncomfortable. When I wear contacts, I find people are more friendly, more apt to smile at me. For me, that was the biggest change I noticed.
