myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (299)   ranked 1,682 out of 19,372 in questions & answers2 months ago

Im 26 and already have a bad eyesight. Im nearsighted and cant even recognize a face at a distance. Im thinking of getting corrective eyeglasses but also opting for contacts. Cant decide yet. My friends said that sometimes they tend to forget their contacts on before sleeping which can cause eye irritation. With eyeglasses, I had one actually but sometimes I tend to forget to wear or even bring it. Mylotters. Which one do you think is better? Or more c0nvenient?

actually it depends on you which is better. I'm 15 and i had glasses from grade 4 to third year highschool but now i'm wearing contact lenses. If you're going to ask for my opinion contact lenses are great because they don't break easy. You can watch tv lying down without the hassle of your glasses deforming but they are high maintenance.


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (299)   ranked 1,682 out of 19,372 in questions & answers  2 months ago

thanks! Well yeah i thnk c0ntacts u have to lubricate it every n0w and then. Eyeglasses are prone to breakage, especially if im clumsy=)

Well, I wore glasses for 17 years and I hated it. I did try contacts and did not like them at all. It was uncomfortable. So I stuck with glasses until I got lasiks done in 2007. Between eyeglasses and contacts I would definitely stick with glasses. They have a lot of different frames you can choose from that are cute and stylish. Not all of them make you look nerdy.


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (299)   ranked 1,682 out of 19,372 in questions & answers  2 months ago

dont have a problem looking nerdy, i think its in n0w=) i just tend to forget that i have to bring it everyday wherever. Lasiks? Im gonna try to look that up. Thanks!

I have been wearing glasses since my high school, when the contact lens came into trend, I wanted to have one, but always afraid that was gonna hurt my eyes, and my parents just couldn't let me wear it. I start wearing contact lens 6yrs ago, and start loving it, it's very convenient, and i barely feel it in my eys, the one i wear is Johnson Johnson's ACUVUE ADVANCE for every 2 weeks.

its great that your comfortable with contacts. Is that a good brand? Im gonna try to look that up thanks!

You'd rather get eyeglasses. With eyeglasses, you get to choose trendy frames which would fit your personality. And you can always wear a different one to match your attire happy. When my daughter, who was 17 years old, had her eyes examined, she opted for contact lens. The optometrist advised her that it would be better for her to get eyeglasses instead because having contact lens requires a lot of hassle. She was still young and had so many things to do as student. Besides, she might fall asleep with it and might cause eye irritation.

oh yeah thats one of my worries in getting contacts. S0metimes i just fall asleep straight to bed when i get home from work and i might forget that im still wearing c0ntacts. And with eyeglasses, you can match up different frames to whatever your wearing. Hmm. Thanks!

It is always eyeglasses. I think using contact lens may give you a different look, but while fixing them and opening them you become prone to some bio hazard to your eyes by yourself. You cannot sleep even with that and you are to do some precautionary activities with them by opening every night. Eye glasses are easy to manage.
Thank you.

oh yeah like if youre fingers are dirty and putting on contacts can cause infection.

You can actually sleep with disposable extended wear or overnight contacts. I am kind of chuckling at the amount of answers with people stating that contacts are inconvenient or you can't wear them when you're sleeping or overnight because I have researched this lol.
