Eye glasses or contacts
« on: July 04, 2013, 03:39:19 am »
Which do you prefer? Eye glasses or contacts?
I have been wearing glasses since I was 5  and I am 48 now.
I tried contacts years ago and ruined 4 pairs as I was trying
To take them out of my eyes. I enjoyed not wearing glasses
For a short period of time, but came to realize that contacts are not
For me. I do not have the patience either.

What is your choice?
 :wave:

I wore contacts in high school and through two pregnancies.

My eyes changed enough that contacts did not give me as clear of vision as glasses do, so I have worn glasses most of my life.

I have worn glasses since I was twelve, tried contacts for awhile but the glasses seem to be better for my sight; I do not like glasses but unfortunately i need them. I wish I had another option, that would do what the glasses do for me; so I wear as a necessity. :(

I wear glasses.  I recall, as a student in junior high school, that my Art teacher wore contacts and the contact rolled up in her eye.  She had to take her finger and bring it back down over her eyeball.  There is no way I could have done that.  My daughter likes to wear contacts, but I just don't have that kind of patience and resilience to do it. ??? :o ??? :wave:

I don't like the feel of having something on my face when I wear glasses. Plus I look less attractive with them.  :dontknow:

I definitely prefer contacts, especially colored. I can't stand my dark poopey brown eyes, so I always wear hazel. But things happen. You may be down to your last pair and rip a contact when you hadn't ordered any yet or they get dry and uncomfortable and you have to take them out, so having a pair of glasses handy helps. And I also cant see squat at night with my contacts so I have to wear glasses when I'm driving at night.

I think Eye glasses is the easier, contact lenses is hard to put and off. It hurts my eyes.
