should i get contacts instead of wearing glasses?!

Contacts are really good particularly if you have problems seeing things far off. They are far better for things like sport and you are less likely to break them. You do need glasses for backup though as you shouldn't wear contacts all day as it restricts the oxygen to your eye. Also if you get ill/have a cold you may have problems wearing them.

The other thing to consider is teh money. Contacts aren't cheap and as these days they are disposable you have to pay money every month and money for checkups. If this isn't a problem then I suggest you make an appointment with the optiican who will check your eyes, work out your perscription and give you some trial lenses so you can see if they work for you.

I work in the Optical field. Contacts are a huge responsibility. I will tell you to start off you will get better vision with glasses and that has to do with the vertex and the contact lens sits directly on your eye. Also if you have a small astigmatism that may not transfer to the contact lens prescription. I try to discourage people from contact lens use. I believe the are expensive and could hurt the patient if not used correctly. So may people over use their contacts and have not been taught to clean them properly. Also they are expensive. You not only pay for the exam you will also pay an annual fitting fee. This is based on the difficulty of the fit. In the state of Florida a contact Rx is only good for one year whereas a glasses Rx in good for 5. The cost of contacts very based on brand and type. Now more that every you see Optomerist giving patients daily wear lens opposed to 2 weeks or monthly lens. I advise on glasses. They are more cost effective and healthier for your eye. Good luck with your eyes.

hmm
i wear glasses and im in 10th grade..i thought about contacts....then i thought about my busy life full of parties etc..i wanted contacts but i realised i couldnt manage them...my hands were usually dirty and i slumped into bed forgetting to take them out...or rather i almost did dat
u can ask ur mom and dad
if their ok with it then consult ur eye specialist and see with him how itll work
and make sure ur life isnt too busy!
and yah glasses MAY look ugly but it shows ur true self and not u hiding under some plastic...
if u think theres something wrong in wearing glasses then im not soo sure...
but anyway good luck!

I think you should get contacts. I heard there easier to wear.

contacts are better

get both, u can give ur eyes a break from contacts when ur home and relaxing.. Contact are cool, colored ones would be fun
