Answer 1

I hear you. I want them to.

Answer 2

Since it's your parents who'll be shelling out the money to pay for your vision needs, you're kidn of stuck by their rules. Give the glasses a try first. It's more important that you see things clearly and not have to suffer those headaches. Whether you use glasses or contact lenses is actually a very secondary concern when you think about it.

Answer 3

If you wear your glasses (even if only in class) and prove that you are responsible you should be able to use the fact that you have raised your grades to persuade your mother to get them for you.

I've been wearing contacts for 23 years - I was never able to wear glasses - even sunglasses, the pressure is too much on the sides of my head. I'm a big advocate for contacts as long as you keep them clean and change them as directed (especially for long term wear).

Answer 4

I don't see why you have such a problem with wearing your glasses... Just wear them like you need to, and then you will get contacts, if your mom is really as stubborn as you say then that is clearly where you get your stubborness from. Wear the glasses then get contacts, because one day you might need to wear the glasses because of an issue with the contacts, better to get use to them now rather than later.

Answer 5

Well you can ask them for different glasses, i suggest hour eyes, apparently i found somethin on yahoo that not all glasses makers are trustworthy as hour eyes
well since you only get contacts if you where your glasses for a few months, only suggestion i got is ask for new glasses
either that or... go to your school counselor and tell them what's wrong with your glasses or such

Answer 6

They have told you: WEAR YOUR GLASSES for a few months

To stop the blur: WEAR YOUR GLASSES

To stop the headaches: WEAR YOUR GLASSES

To improve your grades: WEAR YOUR GLASSES

The other solution would be to get a part time job and earn the money to pay for contacts yourself; while waiting to save up enough: WEAR YOUR GLASSES.
