which do you prefer to wear - an eyeglass or a contact lens??as for me, im more comfortable wearing traditional eyeglass than a contact lens no matter how safe or fashionable it is. i still prefer my eyeglass and i wear it everyday at work.

I also prefer eyeglass. However I think there are instances where contact lens are better. For example, when eating a steaming hot bowl of noodle, or getting out of a nice cool air-con place to the hot air, playing at sports like basketball etc. These are the times when I wish to have contact lens but unfortunately with my age (my glasses support both far and near sight), the contact lens would not work anymore.

eyeglasses.... because you can remove it anytime and anywhere....and you will only need to wipe it and go.... dont need to buy formulas to keep your contacts safe....

A Pair of Glasses - I prefer pair of glasses over lenses.
i prefer eye-glasses for three reasons 1. they are cheaper than eye-lenses. 2. they enhance person's looks 3. they are more convenient to cleans, store and use as compared to lenses 4. Most of the eye doctors I have seen use glasses instead of lenses.

i got power in my eyes when i was in my 12th grade.i was using glasses at that time.but since last 2 years i am using contact lenses and i am quite comfortable with it. glasses are indeed very compatible and hassle free to handle.but i prefer contacts.when i go for my work,glasses really troubled me a lot.so i switched over to contacts and now i don't have to think that did i forget my glasses or are they in their right place.and i don't have to put it up on my nose everytime. besides glasses gave me dark circles around my eyes that looked very bad.now i don't have to worry about it also.

I'd also prefer to wear a normal eye glass than wearing a contact lens. I have seen some of my friends using contact lens. It requires very good maintanence, care, and you can't use for too long at a stretch. It pains.

For me, as a student i would prefer to wear contact lens because unlike eyeglasses its more fashionable and most of all you will feel like normal individual with no eye defects.. ^_^

I have never tried wearing contact lenses, since they seem like way too much effort. I am very comfortable with my glasses, and people say that they suit me.

I am a fans for glasses and I wear them everyday even the girls around me prefer contact lens. I think I look more professional with glasses and also I am scared of directly sticking something with my eye balls. I feel that that might not be very hygenic and it's not good to cover up the eye balls for a long period of time. I need to work in front of the computer everyday for long hours and I get off work pretty late, I think it's better for me to wear glasses instead of contact lens.
