Should I stay with glasses or get contacts?!

I'm 30 now, and I first started wearing glasses when I was in the first grade, and got my first set of contacts the summer before I started high school, and I'm sooo glad I did. Not only did I feel better about myself (my eyes are really bad, -12.00 in both eyes), but it was great not having to fight with my glasses during gym class for the first time ever! I'd at least try them if I were you. Your doctor may even have a trial pair you can wear for a week or two to see if you like them.

Yes get contacts. I've had contacts since I was 13 and am now in my 50's. Best thing that ever happened to me and contacts weren't as easy to wear then as they are now. If you like swimming they are even more brilliant. Just make sure you get dailes for swimming so you can throw them out at the end of the day to be doubly caerful about infection. And don't let anyone tell you you can't swim in contacts - Iv'e been doing it for 40 years with the approval of the optician. Its one of the things contacts are best for. Its awful having to wear glasses when swimming.

You do need glasses as well as there are times when you can't wear contacts ( e,.g you are ill) and you shouldn't wear them all day as it deprives your eyes of oxygen. The only real drawback with contacts is the price. It takes about a month to get proficient using them but thats time well spent.

I'm 14 also and i have only been wearing glasses since i was 12 but CONTACTS WE'RE MY SAVIOR. Please try them!! you will feel amazing! they feel like you can naturally just see really good. Glasses will seem awful once you get contacts! Just PLEASE do it! you will regret nothing! they are not uncomfortable in the least bit! And you can still wear your glasses when you want to, with contacts and glasses you will have an option.. CONTACTS ARE AMAZING.

i think u should stick with glasses, some designer frames look great especially if u get the thin lenses, if u do go for contats be extremely careful with hygeine as it can be easy to get an infetion in your eye, also the advice i had when i got contats was not to wear them in the pool anyway due to the chemicals you an get soe pretty stylish presription goggles these days though but they can be a little pricey

It depends. Many contacts can be uncomfortable but they are easier to use than glasses all the time. I would say that if you want to look better and dont care about how comfortable you are, get contacts. If you dont care about appearance then keep your glasses and you can save some money

i think wearing lenses is better and they make you look better than when you are wearing glasses...i'm 15 but my parents wont let me wear lenses because they think i'm not old enough :P but sometimes i get teased because of my glasses and i totally HATE them
