Glasses or Contacts?

I have both glasses and contacts. Sometimes I prefer to wear my contacts, but for the most part, they burn and irritate my eyes (even when they're brand new). I totally prefer glasses over contacts. How about you?

You know when contacts first got big I tried them and they irritated my eyes so bad I had to go back to glasses and I have wore them ever sense. I have wanted to try the new disposable contacts but have never got around to it.

The disposable ones I wear still irritate my eyes. I have considered Lasik, but I have two problems. One, my eyes may not be bad enough to meet the requirements. Two, the thought of having my eyelid pulled open and being awake for it freaks me out. I actually don't mind glasses, though.

Yeah I've thought about the surgery as well but haven't attempted it yet. I figured the disposable ones might still irritate my eyes but I think it might be worth a try at least.

They are definitely much better than the old ones.

I am vain, and glasses made me look so old - so I opt to wear contacts instead. When I first wore them, they were uncomfortable. It took some time to get used to them. Now I am fine with them; in fact, it is more comfortable.

I wish they would get more comfortable for me. They seem to for most people.

when i got out and see other people or friends, i prefer to wear my contacts because glasses just makes me look nerdy and uncool. Eventhough it makes me feel sleepy wearing them, I still do. But when i'm home, i prefer my glasses because it's easier to wear and take off.

I do a similar thing a lot of the time. I get lots of compliments on my glasses, though, so I guess they aren't too nerdy looking.
