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.
Definitely glasses. I tried contacts when I was younger. It took the eye doctor about 15 minutes to put on my trial set of contacts for me and I was very concerned about how the hell we were going to get them back out. I tried to put them in by myself in the mornings before school for about a week and couldn’t get them in once. So I gave up.
Shame, because I feel like I look better without my glasses. But oh well
Glasses. They make me look better and don’t feel weird.
Yeah. Genuinely like how they look, and they’re relatively convenient. I do have the option of contacts but just kinda prefer glasses
Glasses, its what I had since I was little and now I’m used to it
I prefer eyeglasses. However, I find contact lenses convenient and flexible (pun unintended). I can move about and do things without much worry with contact lenses on, but not so much with eyeglasses.
On the other hand, it’s easy to fall asleep with contact lenses on, which is a dangerous thing. There’s also the risk of contact lenses doing damage to one’s eye, such as through unclean hands handling contact lenses, improper cleaning, leaving contact lenses on for too long, or dust particles getting stuck between the contact lens and one’s cornea.
Eyeglasses might not be as convenient as contact lenses, but it’s a lot safer. It’s also a good backup when one can’t use contact lenses for some reason.
Glasses. My only super power is astigmatism - the contacts for it are horrible.
I went to get lasic - the dude said: you’ll need reading glasses, and maybe you’ll see a boarder. What?!? No thanks - if I need glasses sometimes it’s far better for me to use them all the time. That way I don’t lose them.
I do wish I could use sunglasses more easily, but…
Prescription sunnies is what I use, sadly cheap servo ones are out of the question.
I have over the glasses sunglasses. Yes, they’re big and dorky. My son says they look like the glasses in the TV room from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I don’t care. I’m retired (so am an annoying old person)
I got PRK a while ago, but I vastly preferred contacts. My eyes were terrible, and one was much worse than the other. My depth perception was noticably worse with glasses, and the lack of peripheral vision, especially while moving, tended to make me nauseous. I wore contacts almost every day from 7th grade through a year after graduating college.
Laser eye surgery
That’s what I did, although my recommendation would be for people to do it as early as possible. Whenever your eyes stop changing, figure out how to pay for it. A lot of reputable places run good specials from time to time.
My challenge is I got mine basically right before or right as my age related farsightedness started to come in. But on the whole, I’m very happy with it.
People told me that but most places won’t take you before you’re 20 (but it changes, I remember I had to wait 2 years after my last prescription change but was told just 6 months after I had waited those 2 years ofc)
I feel like my eyes were still changing in my 20s. Maybe late 20s would be solid.
Even getting it done at 20-22 is great. The sooner the better. It’s a life changer

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
I prefer contacts but wear both contacts and glasses depending on the day. I like the flexibility and overall ease of contacts, but some days I just wear glasses to give my eyes a break. I have astigmatism. Glasses especially have a bending effect around the periphery that’s annoying to deal with that contacts simply don’t have for me.
Glasses. I think my face actually looks better with glasses.
Contacts. They don’t fog up and I don’t have to worry to loose them mountainbiking, while in a moshpit, etc.
Still have some glasses at home for late night gaming sessions when the eyes get tired/dry
Glasses during work week… I look at a variety of distances and screens. I have progressives. Contacts on the weekend, break out readers for the phone.
I prefer progressive lenses when working (mostly at a computer) and contacts when I’m off work and out and about in the world.
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.
