I think it's silly to limit yourself to glasses OR contacts. You really need both. There will be times when you just cannot wear your contacts, or they are driving you nuts, and then you have the glasses.

I am a big fan of contacts--I love the natural and effortless and distortion free vision they give--it's like my eyes just got magically corrected. I'm not crazy about my glasses, but they are okay, if you can deal with the crazy lens edge awareness--which always makes me feel like, "I am ROBOT. Must see world through this narrow field of vision. I am ROBOT..."

People tell me I look good with glasses, though. I recently was sick, and with a fever and an ear-ache, my contacts were driving me nuts, so I removed them and watched TV, sick as dog, with my glasses, totally comfortable ocular-wise.

Do get contacts and see how you like them--some hate them, and much prefer glasses. But you will never know until you try contacts...!

And if you hate your glasses, do get some frames that make you excited and feeling footloose to wear--it can make all the difference in the world!

You should do what you said, either get contact lenses or just buy some "cute glasses". You said your smart, so don't be intimidated by what other people might say.

I wear glasses and like to think of myself as smart, but I don't get called a geek. People who call you a geek because you wear glasses are really shallow and you shouldn't care what they think, and anyone that calls someone else a geek is probably insecure and not worth knowing anyway. Just get yourself some glasses, I'm sure you'll look fine! If you try and read without glasses you can strain your eyes and get headaches.

just buy some cute glasses and dont worry about it, they wont make your eyes worse, and pay no mind to what people in school think of you

I wear glasses and im not a geek. It looks cool

If you can see without the glasses/contacts then by all means don't wear them. You will get blinder if you start wearing glasses now (I'm assuming you're young) but if you're in your mid 20's then you should get the glasses or contacts without worries that you'll get blinder. The lens in your eyes are more malleable when you're younger. When you get older they're not so malleable anymore and your rx wont go up very much.

dont worry what people think and if you wanted too, you could get contacts or lazer eye surgery.

Wearing glasses won't make your vision worse, you'll just get used to seeing clearly and will not be happy with the blurry vision you have without them. You said yourself that you're a smart girl, so it may be smarter to choose functional vision even if you don't like your glasses. Also discuss contacts with your dr-see if they're an option. Good luck!
