I started using eye glasses when i was 11 years old because i am near sighted. I used contact lens when i was 15 years old. By the way i'm only 21 years old Ü. And actually i personally prefer using contact lens because when i wear it, it feels that i have a normal vision because i don't feel that there is a foreign object in my eyes. But i regularly take it off at night so that my eyes can rest. How about you what do you prefer to use, contact lens or eye glasses? Ü

I prefer spectacles. Contact lenses take more time to wear and take out. They also need more care in comparison to spectacles.

contact lens are much better than wearing glasses. it feels like you can see anything and everything even that little things from a far. I feel dizzy everytime I wear my eyeglasses

I'm near-sighted, too. I prefer to wear glasses because it will be safe. Sometimes contact lens cause many problems for eyes. Especially if you don't clean your hands and the contact lens well, it's likely that you'll have an infection and it's so harmful for your eyes. So I don't want to take a risk to it. Eyes are so important.

I've had both (got glasses when I was eight, started using lenses when I was 20) and the lenses are much, much better. I make sure to follow the instructions, but it's usually not much of a bother. Besides, I don't have to deal with annoying fogging, smudging, or having to take them off for roller coasters :)
