    Glasses, I hate putting in and removing my contacts. Also hate how they feel in my eyes. Besides, I think I look better in glasses anyway. I only wear contacts whenever I’m doing sports.

    scleral lenses are better than soft lenses since u can put them for 16 hours straight without suffocating ur eyes (eye blood veins need air to function), but with all lenses, u cant use them in contact with water like while showering or something. also high prescription glasses aren’t fun either, maybe bit safer. combination of both would make sense i guess.

      My first wife would get this thing about every 3 years or so where a contact would migrate around to the back of her eye. This would then be followed by about an hour of her trying to get it back front-and-center. Just the thought of it is enough to horrify me.

        Like it goes under the eyelid? That is quite terrifying to look at, but it can’t go all the way behind the eye because of the way the eye is structured. It stops like at the top of the eye.

      I’ve never really been able to use eye drops and when I’ve tried my eyes would reflexively close. I don’t get how people can handle putting contacts in regularly

        Use eye drops on the outside opening of your eye ducts. Turn your head to let gravity pull the drops in an blink 2-4 times. Don’t try to use eye drops from the front and above.

    Glasses, I never could get the hang of contacts. Plus I can have lenses in my glasses that change with the amount of sunlight - I’m not organized enough to keep track of sunglasses.

    Contacts! I hate the marks glasses leave on your face. I never lose my contacts. They don’t get dirty or broken. It’s 2 minutes morning and night and then not another thought about it throughout the day. I can wear any sunglasses i want.

    Glasses, it’s my whole style at this point and when I remove them it’s like my eyes aren’t the size they’re supposed to be so I’d rather not

    Glasses.

    I don’t mind wearing contact lenses, but I don’t like having to do it every day when I wake up. And don’t even get me started on having to take off the contact lenses when you get home after partying and drinking.

    Contacts. With spare glasses when the eyes are tired. It takes time to get contacts you like and get into the routine of putting them in quickly and wearing them without thinking about them.

    Contacts make me realize when I haven’t drank enough water as well because they get stickier/blurrier.

    I tried contacts about 20 years ago, absolutely hated them. They felt wrong, never comfortable. And this is despite me having no issues touching my eyes.

    I’ve now worn glasses for 31 years, there is no way I’ll stop, I could never look into the mirror without feeling like a stranger.

    I also love the protection glasses offer against insects, rain, and wind.

      Yup, I loved not having the weight of glasses on my face with contacts, but every kind I’ve tried had led to dry eyes at the end of the day and that’s super unpleasant to me, so glasses it is.

    I don’t want a foreign object inside of me, so I’ll stick with the glasses.

    Contacts. I can open the dishwasher without being blinded. I can use any safety lenses. I can use any sunglasses I want and even cheapies at the gas station if i need to . They just simplify my life. I’ve never had issues putting them in or having irritation.

      Same here. I’ve worn contacts for 50 years (my user name isn’t a lie). A few minutes of inconvenience at the beginning and end of the day, and I don’t have to think about my vision aids the rest of the time. And I can walk in the rain and still see!

    I’ve never tried contacts and never will. The idea just feels weird. People also say I look weird without glasses on because very, very few people have seen me without glasses every since I started wearing them. I only take them off to clean them, sleep, and take showers.
