Glasses or Contacts?
Guest blog submitted by The_Prestigiator
Ever since middle school, everyone has been telling me to get contacts in lieu of glasses.
I always chose glasses until my senior year of college; I then purchased both glasses and contacts.
Still, I wear my frames more often. My glasses (more or less) look this Prada pair but with a slight design on the side. Sure, the contacts probably make me look more appealing and people definitely gave me positive feedback the first time I wore them, but my glasses make me feel more confident. I barely touch my contacts when the weather isn't cold (I admit I hate when my glasses fog up in the winter). Does my preference make sense?
Which do you prefer: glasses or contacts? Do you wear both?

I like my glasses, and don't mind wearing them--never really wanted contacts, especially since just getting an eyelash in my eye is irritating...if someone else doesn't like the glasses--not much I can do.
I dont like contacts, so I dont wear it ^^
But I dont know how about the future, lol
I prefer glasses because it's a lot more convenient. I only wear glasses when I'm too tired to wear them, because they won't "stick" in my eyes. I also wear glasses when I'm too lazy to put on contacts in the morning (which is like almost once a month).
Eveyone's always told me to get contacts too, I never have for the same reason as you I suppose. I just feel more myself with them.
I have a similar pair except in a dark red and D&G.
Contacts. I have never found glasses I enjoyed wearing or that I really felt suited me. I never wear my glasses, though I do have some.
glasses. i tried contacts for probably 5-6 months. they were driving me nuts. i had no issues putting them in or taking them out, but they were irritating my eyes. i was so glad to go back to glasses. i'm more comfortable and more confident in glasses.
Wear both, hate both. Glasses always fall down my nose and get dirty or fogged up and contacts get dry and irritating.
I prefer contacts because I look a lot better in them. Plus they're more convenient. Don't get dirty, fogged up, etc. Just throw them away after about two weeks. They're more comfortable too.
I never even considered contacts. The idea of sticking things in my eye freaks me out. Besides my glasses make me look smarter. They kind of give off the girl next door/hot librarian Ora.
I've worn glasses since middle school, and though the prospect of getting contacts has come up occasionally I've never seriously considered getting them. A part of it is because a horror story about my kindergarten teacher getting a contact stuck in the back of her eye and having to have it surgically removed kind of scared me from contacts forever. But mostly it's because I feel like my glasses are part of what makes me me. If I go for too long without them, even for reading, I start to feel naked and uncomfortable. It's also gotten to the point where I don't like how I look without them sometimes, and my frames complete my appearance. And if we want to talk about cosmetic appeal, I never wear makeup on a regular basis, so if I wake up not looking my best one day, I can always hide behind my glasses.
i wear both too but my eyes has improved dramatically since I started wearing contacts.. my eye sight has not gone worse as oppose to when i wore glasses.. Contacts are suppose to help improve your eyesight :)
I don't need glasses or contacts, but I prefer people wearing glasses. I think they look nice on people =]
@rajni8u@xanga - I agree with you.
I would say I'm a 4 eyes girl. :P I'm kind of lazy. It depends on how I feel or my eye feels. When my eyes feel tired or not, I switch back to my glasses. To give them a break. :)
I've had glasses since about 4th grade, and I don't think I could ever do contacts because the thought of putting anything in my eye freaks me out. People say I look better with glasses anyway, so it doesn't bother me that much.
I wear both! I think my glasses are cute, but when I'm doing anything active or i want to wear a headband (:P) I wear contacts. I also wear contacts when I want to wear sunglasses
i feel the same way. i feel so much more confident with my glasses than with my contacts. but i try to wear them sometimes on special occasions.
Contacts.
