Glasses! \:D/ I've never had contacts - I can't stand even the thought of trying to get them in and out of my eyes. I just got new glasses last week, but I'm still trying to adjust to the new prescription. :x That's the worst part.

Contacts aren't that bad, Laura. Once you get adjusted to them, it's great! Yeah, adjusting to a new prescription is never fun. :(

I just got contacts, and I love them. \:D/ But glasses are good too. :yes:

I have 20/20 vision but I need reading glasses :yes: I can't stand the thought of ever needing contacts. I can't even put eyedrops in my eyes so contacts would never last.

I always cringed at the idea of putting something on my eyes, but I despise glasses cause they're a pain, not to mention I needed to learn to wear them for jobs that I'd be applying to...it was awful for the first few days, but now I'm great with them. I don't look straight ahead when putting them in...I look up so I can't see that there's something going into my eye, so it works pretty well! Just a tip in case anyone has a hard time with the idea of it!

I've had glasses since I was like less than 2 yrs. old. I've thought about getting contacts but I doubt I ever will.

So, I've never had contacts just because I'm to lazy to take them in and out every day but, I recently found out from an optometrist (err... ophthalmologist?), that even if I wanted to, I probably couldn't because I have, get this, over sensitive corneas. Eye drops bother me for the same reason. So, ya, I'll be sticking with my old-fashioned, nerdy glasses, thank you. They get the job done, just fine. :shades:

I have glasses and wear them daily. Contacts just creep me out
It's been awhile, hasn't it?

I've had glasses for almost a year now, and I might try contacts at some point. But I highly doubt it.

I tried contacts for a bit, they were a little annoying, i'm used to wearing glasses so it's whatever.

I wish I could wear sunglasses without having to be blind or get prescription shades though. ;) That's the one inconvenience...plus losing glasses is a lot more expensive than losing a contact.

I've had glasses since i was one year old and finally got contacts this summer. In my opinion contacts are totally better! Once you get used to putting in/wearing them that is. It took me a while to get used to how I look without glasses, but now I think i look better with contacts. So yeah glasses get a 2 1/2 and contacts get a 5!! (out of 5)
