Which do you prefer?

Glasses! 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. 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. But glasses are good too.

I have glasses.

Same here.

I have 20/20 vision but I need reading glasses 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.

I have glasses, but I would love to get contacts. But... I can't... Argh... Oh well...

I have glasses, but I don't wear them as often as I should.

I have glasses and wear them daily. Contacts just creep me out

Same here.

And here.

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

And even here. Seems lots of us have eye problems. Mine is the right eye.

Seems we all agree. Plus, I hate the way I look when my glasses aren't on. *shivers*

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 have glasses, but being a dancer, I would like to able to get contacts.

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)

Yeah, that's my main prob, how I'd look without my glasses. but everybody eventually adjusts to change I guess.
