ok so when i use contacts i look more chubby right, but when i use my glasses im more thin, so which is my correct vision,my glasses or my contacts?.
Answers:
Well it could be because you are nearsighted and the lenses you wear minify (make things look smaller). So the portion of the lens that goes over the side of your face actually makes it appear that it bends inward from where it actually is. This could cause the illusion of your face being thinner.
Also it could be the shape/color/contours of your frames. Sometimes certain angles/shapes/colors in eyeglass frames can flatter a face to have a certain desired effect. It is possible the shape/size/color of your glasses could have a slimming effect on your face. Its the same way that some pants or even certain shirts can make you look thinner and others can do the opposite. Obviously when you wear contacts it is impossible to create that same effect.
Anyways just a couple of ideas... :)
I just wanted to add a little more....
I personally have under a diopter of astigmatism....
Usually I do not even wear correction because it does not bother me.... When I switch from correction to not wearing correction it does not change how thin or thick things look.... it actually distorts the placement of objects I am seeing! It literally looks like objects jump slightly from where I am seeing them! So if you had uncorrected astigmatism under a diopter in your contacts then I still think that is an unlikely cause of your face looking thinner as the answerer underneath me has stated :)
