Beginning when I'm just an elementary student, my eyesight becomes poor. I tried to wear glasses with high grade but I don't feel comfortable and it always makes me dizzy. And it made me realized that it's not helpful. It cannot cure. So I just continue to study even without glasses, and in order for me to read what's on the blackboard, I needed to seat in front. But for many years that had passed, I never tried to use contact lenses. Because I saw some people who got hurts badly when they're putting it in their eyes. But I want to ask if it's safe, and does it have the specific grade that the user needed for their eyes? Please share some experiences..

I am wearing glasses since my child hood and am accustomed with the one's now.One thing is the contact lenses are very expensive and the other thing is I am totally afraid of using these because I feel the eyes can get damaged hence, I do not refer to use contact lenses.

Yes you're right, contact lenses are much expensive than glasses. I'm also afraid to try it, but I think it's pretty much comfortable.

These are comfortable only to people who are financially comfortable.It is not that we cannot purchase and enjoy them but should spend money. The problem with me is every two years my number changes and hence it would be a rolling expense every two years hence, I am not going for that.

Contact lenses are safe if you know how to properly place them on your eyes, and they are made to correct your vision, thus they are helpful.

That's what I'm afraid of, there are people who made mistakes on putting them and it really hurts badly, that can make them cry. It's helpful but is there a possibility that it can cure?

Hi Crisanta..... I believe contact lenses are safe to wear with proper use like indicated on the box and you have to clean it regularly. There are so many kind of contact lenses in the market you can choose the most comfort for you. I like the water base one. In my country contact lenses very popular especially colored one. So if you planning wear it go ahead and don't afraid. I believe you need see your optician before choose a lenses because I hear there are certain people who can not wear contact lenses because eye ball problem.

Contact lenses have become quite an old topic now.Majority of the people uses it.Obviously its safe and makes you look good also.I have seen many school going children wearing it(i mean elder students).There are some partitcular instructions u need to follow that's it.For the first time you may feel lil awkward but very soon you wil like it.Go ahead dont worry.
