I have been to the eye doctor and which should I get eye glasses or contacts?

Question

I mean I think the glasses or cheaper but I was wandering what other people thought or learned from experience.

Answer 1

A Pair Of Each Would Be Great .......

I Think Anyone That Has To Wear Glasses and Want's a Pair of Contacts Should Still Have A Pair of Regular Glasses .. Or vise versa .... You have to take the contact's out sometimes

good luck

Answer 2

Do you like sports? Are you very physically active? I find that wearing glasses makes participating in some activities very difficult. I have both contacts and glasses. I can't remember which is less expensive -- it may be my contacts that are cheaper. Do you have insurance? Most vision insurance plans will cover one and not the other. I wear contacts during the day and my glasses in the evening. I think that if you get contacts, you will need to have glasses, too. Most contact wearers that I know have to change out of them to glasses when their eyes get tired.

Answer 3

Depends, I wear contacts regularly, but also have a pair of glasses. Sometimes they can be bothersome, if you are coming home real late, and don't feel like taking them out, or if you want to catch a quick nap, as you aren't supposed to sleep in traditional contacts (as opposed to long-term like night/day contacts). But overall, I think they're great, on a sunny day while driving, you can still put on shades (although transition lenses exist). Getting contacts is not a bad idea, but at the very least get a pair of backup glasses. Or perhaps, it may be smarter to get the glasses now, then get the contacts later? Good luck.

Answer 4

That's kind of a personal preference.

I wore glasses for years, and changed over to contacts and loved it. Yes, contacts tend to be more expensive.

I know several people that have both glasses and contacts. For some, contacts can irritate or dry out the eyes, and it is always good to have a back up pair of glasses that you can wear.

Answer 5

i suggest you get both... if you decide to only get one of them, first get the glasses, then contacts later on...you may see that the contacts can be a drag, and if you loose one or are in a hurry, then the glasses are a good idea to have just in case

Answer 6

if you are always late everywhere and aren't really responisble, then get glasses. if you are a model or worry about your looks, get contacts. glasses are better because if you have really bad eye sight, you can just slip them on in the morning and they don't give you head aches.

Answer 7

get both glasses to wear around the house and when your driving
and then contacts for going out..unless you just look really good in glasses and then i would just get them

Answer 8

Get both. Glasses for when you are at home and contacts for when you are at school or work or wherever you go.

Answer 9

depends, if your eyesight isnt that bad and you dont need the glasses/contacts 24/7 id get glasses (actually i did) but if you need 'em quite often id get contacts or both even!
