How do I convince my mom that contacts are better than glasses? She thinks im ir!
Question: Perhaps you should prove to her that you're NOT irresponsible...have you been careless with your glasses in the past? If so, work on earning her trust where your glasses are concerned. With contact lenses comes even MORE responsibilty with caring for them, cleaning them, and making sure that you are not over-wearing them. Contact lenses *can* be better in a lot of ways, but only if the wearer is responsible enough. On the other hand, contacts can spell out disaster to a wearer that is irresponsible and the consequences that come that are far more dangerous; eye infection, corneal damage, and possible vision loss are all serious consequences that you don't have with just wearing glasses.

Depends on how old you are. I was wearing contacts in 4th grade. You can get Focus Dailies, that's what I started with. They're daily disposables, so you just throw them away before you go to sleep every night, and then open a new pair every morning. They're super easy, even for irresponsible people.
