I have both purple contacts and glasses. I dont wear both actually. I feel kinda ugly in my glasses, and with my contacts it sometimes makes my vision feel blurry, or sometimes grey when the contacts bug my eyes. I dont know why, I wonder if im the only person that experiences that.

Yeah, everything can happen. Mostly my cases are dry eyes. If you really feel uncomfortable using both, you can do eyes laser. I have done it and I am happy that I dont have to use them again.

My eyesight is pretty bad and I have been wearing corrective lenses since I was 12 years old. I started with eyeglasses that grew thicker every year. I hated wearing them. They were heavy and being a teenager with eyeglasses is no picnic. By the time, I reached college my prescription keeps increasing. The doctor decided to have me use hard contact lenses to stabilize my eyes. It was the most painful period of my life when it came to eyewear. The contacts were painful, and made my eyes easily irritated with every puff of dust or wind. I went back to wearing glasses. A few years later, I decided to give contact lenses a try again, this time opting for soft contacts or gas-permeable ones. I loved them and are still wearing them for almost 10 years now. They are comfortable to my eyes and I will not give up the peripheral vision they give me that no eyeglasses can. I still wear my eyeglasses only at night when I have removed my contacts before going to bed. Hands down, its contact lenses for me.

I never used hard lenses before. But I wouldnt wear them. I knew I would not like them anyway. But now I dont use any anymore. I have done eye laser and I feel comfortable now without have to think of my eyes irritation. You should try it too. :D

Actually its not. Its just you still dont get used to it. I was like youe before when I just started to wear them. I didnt like wearing them. Its so hard and difficult to wear. But since I got used to eat. I never went out without wearing them. But now I dont have to anymore.

I actually have decent vision and don't use either, but as you get older, your vision tends to get worse. I plan on getting LASIC eye surgery to correct it when my vision gets bad. This way, I won't have to worry about wearing glass and my eyes drying out because of contacts.

Yes, thats what I have done already, lasic. And so far so good. I dont have to worry wherever I go that I will forget to talk glasses or contact lenses ror the water solution....

I prefer wearing contact lenses as I think I look better and I do not have to keep pushing up my glasses every now and then when it slips now my nose. I used to wear them everyday but after hearing so many stories, I now wear them alternate days so as to give my eyes some 'breathing space'.

I am short sighted but prefer to use glasses. This is for hygiene, and convenience reasons. They are also cheaper, easy to maintain and easy to clean.

I wear glasses. But contact lenses are better than glasses. Because no one could point out that my eye sight is weak and I am wearing some thing like glasses. Spectacles or glasses are not expensive than contact lenses. Contact lenses can be fixed after labor and risk of eye operation. So I prefer the glasses than contact lenses.
