are contacts better than glasses?

Question

i've been thinking of getting contacts but are they better than glasses?

Answer 1

contacts they are relley hard to put in they make your eyes dry

Answer 2

I think contacts look better but alot of people look good in glasses too, so i guess it depends on whether u look good in glasses or not, also contacts are alot of work! You gotta make sure their clean or u get eye infections n what not...you gotta be really careful with your contacts and make sure you maintain them properly..it also depends on ur lifestyle, if your busy and low maintenance glasses are best, if not why not try contacts...the choice is urs.

Answer 3

It really depends on what you do. For example, my dad had contact lenses for a while, but he had to stop wearing them because he worked at a drilling rig during college, in which the sand and dust began to affect his eye. It's more a matter of what you do. If glasses really annoy you, and you're looking for a 'new look,' then go for contact lenses.

Answer 4

I recently started wearing contacts and like them a lot better than glasses. They're better if you're active (eg. I am a dancer and run track). But they take a while to get used to.

Answer 5

I wore soft contacts for a while. But throughout time my eyes became very sensitive - so I switched over to glasses.
What I would suggest you: go downtown and see if the optometrists offer trial sets (daily contacts) so you can see what it is/feels like to have contacts.

Answer 6

They both work out fine, but if you'd rather wear contacts and change the color of your eyes, get those. If not, there are plenty of cute glasses you can buy.

Answer 7

Disposable monthly contacts are fine. You just need to get the hand of putting them in and out which becomes easier over time. You have to put them over night in sterile water in a lens case. When you go to the optician- he will give you all the info you need to know and the nurse will show you how to put the lens in and how to remove them.

Answer 8

it depends on how do u look with glasses and do u like ur self, i wear both contacts and glasses it depends on the mood, u can do the same :))

Answer 9

in some aspects, yes. they dont ride down ur nose. they never break. they r low maintenance.
but... they can make ur eyes sensitive to wind (at least mine r). they can pop out at times (this can be cured by a different kind of contact). and theyre a little difficult to put in and take out for some ppl.
talk to ur doctor and ull make the right decision.

Answer 10

it depends. do you do a lot of sporty activities? in that case i'd say contacts. But they can irrate your eyes and scrathe your eye up, especially if you fall asleep in them. Just depends on what you're more comfortable with

Answer 11

am using contact lenses for 2 years...i have short sight and i used spects first..but i felt uncomfortable in it..so i switched to lenses..and i feel very comfortable in it..i use Bausch $ Lomb lens and its very nice...my eyes dont have any problem wearing it...it has a cool effect to my eyes....every one year i change my lens...i insert it in the morning and take it at night just before i sleep...no one even knows that i wear lens...truly its very comfortable...rest depends on u...bye..
