i like to wear contact lenses coz i feel like my eyes are normal. though i hate it sometimes specially if my eyes become dry.. And i also hate it if i sleep with my lenses.. some says its very dangerous to sleep with your lens but luckily my eyes are still ok, maybe it depends... im not using it for many months now though my eyes seems to be more clear right now.. maybe bcoz my eyes become dependent to contact lenses, as i feel like i cant see things clearly without it.. im thinking if i will going to use contact lens again or use glasses instead so i can just take them off easily if i want to sleep or have nap..

well, wearing contact lenses entails a lot of responsibility since if you don't check on it quite often, it may cause harm more than help you. sleeping with lenses on is a big no because someone told me that wearing lenses dries up your eyes so it may harm you more than it could help(i don't know if it's true). contacts also entail constant cleaning. if your eyes are more clear now, as you have said, i think i should suggest that you use glasses instead so that you don't have anything to worry about if you want to sleep or have a nap. i don't have very clear sight either. i have astigmatism, and since it can be corrected, i opted for the cheaper alternative -- glasses. i just use them if needed. but on a regular day, i don't really use them that much.

I prefer glasses because it is easy for me to handle and like you said i can take it off anytime i want - No speacial maintenance and easy to handle. And if you go for the right type of frame that suits your face cut, it can add value to your face.
I feel that Contact lens are not meant for me, because i travel by two-wheeler and what if a dust particle gets stuck to the lens - i can't rub my eyes, especially while travelling! And i'm not very good in maintaining things and i believe one has to be careful while cleaning the lens.
So i would say specs are comfortable and convenient.

if you're not sure, than it is best to consult with an eye expert so they can prescribe you with the proper contact lens..
