Poll: Contacts versus Glasses

[Riobux]

I think it may depend on circumstances. Like I wear glasses, but only during class because I can sometimes not quite read the board. So it would be impractical to wear contacts. However, if they get so bad that I can't properly see long distance at all, contacts may become the way to go.

Contacts for me. They're very comfortable once you get used to them and give me much more freedom that I didn't have with glasses. No more losing glasses in clubs/pubs/mosh pits/rainforests for me. Also, I have the daily disposable ones and while they're a bit more expensive than other options, they mean there's no stress if I lose one and I can carry a spare pair in my pocket just in case.

I wear contacts. I started wearing glasses when I was about 9, I think. I switched to contacts because it made it easier for me to play sports, my peripheral vision is a lot better with contacts than glasses. I also have become a master of putting contacts in. Plus with my method of putting contacts in you cannot fail! Okay, you probably can, but it is really easy to do.

I'm allergic to the preservative they ship them in rather than the solution they give you. Since I don't believe any of them will actually change how they ship them, I ain't trying to get them again.

Plus, a year or so more and I can get eye surgery, which won't totally fix them (not even close), but being able to see at all without them would be nice.

I have a healthy balance of both, I prefer wearing my contacts, but if i know il be out of the house for a long time (14 hour shift at work *sigh*) il stick to just glasses.

Glasses. I've worn them since I was five and my eyes are too dry for contacts.

Also, I think literally everyone in the universe is hotter with a good pair of specs.

Definitely glasses, on other people as well as myself. Whoever came up with the quote "guys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses" is an absolute idiot.

Contacts.
I wore glasses for some years, but I eventually tried contacts because glasses were starting to get in the way of sports, which I love. And once I did, I never went back. No longer do I have to practice sports with restricted sight, or risking getting some actual glass in my eyes if the glasses break, I also get an enhanced, complete field of vision, which I couldn't with glasses.

And while I liked how I looked with glasses, I think I look even better without them, so vanity was also a secondary plus. It was mainly for sports though.

Edit: I'll probably get eye surgery as soon as I can, but until then, I'll just stick to contacts.

Glasses.

I like mine, and i have learned how to make them compliment me so its not a big deal.

That and me touching my eyeball is as likely to happen as me lighting my pubes on fire.

Not going to freaking happen.

Contacts annoy me and I think glasses are sexy =D

 

[ShadowKatt]

I would wear contacts, but I never found any that worked for me, so I wear glasses, always have, concievably always will. Which kinda sucks, I hate wearing glasses. The only benefit I've ever found is they double as safety glasses when I'm in a shop or on the range. They suck in bed though.

I wear contacts but for looking at a computer screen screen for long periods of time I wear gunnar optiks

You misspelt "douche". I hope you know what it means...

On-topic, my brother has glasses, my mum has glasses, and my dad got laser eye surgery. I don't need eye improvement, mine are fine

But I have really shitty teeth...

 

[martin's a madman]

I don't need eye wear, but I like glasses.

Glasses for me, nice and easy to take off, they look really nice too, I got 1 pair for £120 at specsavers and another pair free.

People are used to me having glasses, not wearing them would be wierd.
