which would you prefer to wear?

contact lens takes more time but it's invisble

glasses are simple just put it on but some people don't like them.

I'd prefer contacts. I use glasses for far distance seeing, but I only use them rarely. I wish I had contacts so that I wouldn't have to squint to read something 7 feet away without altering my appearance.

contacts slow the degrading of your eyes, because with contacts you don't strain to see the distance between the lens and your eye. anyone who wears both will tell you, things look bigger thought contacts because that distance is gone.

however, contacts can be annoying if they mess up. and your eyes gradually become allergic to them, so if you wear contacts now, sooner or later you have to go back to glasses. unless contact technology changes.

honestly, neither is the solution to poor eyesight. contacts and glasses treat the syptom, not the problem. the problem is the change of shape of the lens in your eye, so light is bent the wrong way and objects are out of focus. Glasses/Contacts compensate for this bending. However, the true solution would be laser surgery (expensive) or special contacts that bend your lenses back into shape (very expensive, yes they do have these, they're kinda like braces, but instead of bending teeth it bends your lenses).

Whichever YOU prefer.

i prefer contacts, but if i wear them to long they make my eyes dry which is annoying. so i can only wear them for 11 hours max.

kyro so smart...
yea, those contacts you wear it to sleep, what it does is it compresses your cornea which gives you perfect eye sight for a day. kyro is too smart ><" bend light, and all that? i didn't even get it. lol
miss barnes
i like them both
najae
i don't like the idea of putting things in my eyes, so i'll stick with glasses.
alone in the world
neither, i want laser surgery!! glasses, bleh. & contacts were good but they started getting annoying, the fact you have to clean them a lot, & stuff get in your eye .. then at late night parties my eyes get dry cos they only stay moist for about 12 hrs, grrrrrrrrrr .. _dry.gif

contacts cuz they seem alotta easier to do sports and stuff and its less likely that u forget them. but i use glasses cuz im not allowed to touch my eye mad.gif cool.gif <--me in glasses lol. yawn.gif <--me without glasses (very chinky)

I tried contacts for a day. I think that they suck. They aren't for me. I would rather have my glasses and look like a complete idiot.

laser surgery isn't refined...

in fact, your vision doesn't become perfect... you may still need to wear glasses

in addition, the laser surgery doesn't even get good results most the time
pandamonium
i think glasses look cool .. lol

That's true. You don't get 20/20 vision afterwards. It's not perfect.
pandamonium
yea lasic eye surgery isnt perfect.

there are so many things that arent perfect that they always seem to be the perfect solution for everything like:

teeth whitening... it only lasts for 6 months and they turn back to the yellow stuff called your original teeth.

botox... that only lasts for 6 weeks.. and its also dangerous cause they can put the needle too much into your head. then your wrinkles come bacl.

society and media only make it seem pefect but its no solution ... its only the solution to your problem for only 6 months lol.

I would say glasses.
SFoT_Freak
i would say contact lens, because you dont have to worry about your glasses falling out on a roller coaster whistling.gif
angel-roh
i prefer contact lens because they're invisible and like glasses, you can feel something on your eye... it's really annoying to wear glasses and if a basketball gets to your face, your glasses can be broken! and if the glass of the glasses broke, then it can damage your eye even more lol.. so yeah i prefer contact lens^^;; i never want to wear glasses because i always think they give me bad luck when i go to P.E. class T_T
sadolakced acid
if you get hit in the side of the head with glasses on your nose will break.

if you get hit in the side of the head with contacts you... will get dizzy?

I would rather not have either. Glasses are known to potentially make your eyesite worsen.

I don't need them, though.

I would get lazer surgery, and correct it, though.
lovescream
i prefer glasses.
Glasses are simply easy to put on.
Nobody should complain if they dont want to put glasses on, yet, they
do not have contacts.
contacts disturbs my eyes.
it hurts and takes time to put it in, and it can fall out easily
and sometimes cause even more problems to your eyes.
Glasses, period.

lazer surgery will not let you go without any glasses or contacts. you will not hvae perfect vision.

and if they make a mistake...
that happened to my mom's bf.
he had laser eye surgery and they made a mistake...
Kriegsgefangene
My teacher had it done not too long ago. She is seeing fine, it is just she need to put eye drops in her eyes every hour or so. Ehh.

But, I don't need any of that. so it doesn't matter.
xxbaby_dragonxx
I would prefer Contacts.
mona lisa
contacts because glasses are so annoying to wear and they make imprints on your nose. stubborn.gif
anoniez
i used to think i would never wear contacts because i was scared of sticking something in my eye.. but i tried them and i dont ever want to wear glasses again, it is so annoying having something on your face all the time and with contacts you can see EVERYWHERE so clearly, and move your eyes to see something, not your whole head.. yea still cant get over the awesomeness happy.gif
wayne
glasses
PinAy_Sk8Er
I want contacts soooo bad.
ANG33ZY
Contacts.. More comfortable.
weirdness
I like glasses, because I think I look better with glasses. lol.
Contacts are good too because when a ball hits my face my glasses don't hurt my face =)
heyyfrankie

lasik!

i prefer glasses. if u accidentally drop a contact, ur screwed. i dropped my glasses quite a number of times, but it never broke
Skyline Drive
I use both actually , When I get home from school I wear my glasses to rest my eyes. I've been using contacts for 3 years now and they are effin sweet. I recommend acuvue. I don't think they are time consuming either , I can put them in and take them out in one second. haha happy.gif yeshhh .
largosama
I wish I had the time for contacts in the morning, but I slap the snooze button 4 times so that's 40 minutes past when I'm supposed to wake up... meaning usually(try 9/10 times) I barely get breakfast and hygience done... much less anything else.

Glasses are much easier to maintain but contact lenses look better, especially the colored ones.
toodlepops.
i only wear glasses for long distances. (like in class) i wanna try contacts but im too scared. but contacts are much easier to move about. but i dont think i need contacts coz i only need glasses for long distance see-ing. does that make any sense?
xsweetxcandyx
