Should I get contacts?!


Question: Should I get contacts?
I've had glasses for about 4 years and I've had the same frame for all this time. It's worn out and broken and bent. I am also self-concious and I hate the color of my eyes. They're almost black, or if they're dark brown you can't notice. And I hate getting pictures because the glint in my glasses are annoying. I am a very confident girl, but I just hate my eyes, they're my worst feature. The rest of my face is great: no pimples, very smooth, nice lips and nose. And I also like my body, but it's just my eyes. I thought if I got contacts, then I can get a bolder color and finally enjoy my eyes. If I enhanced them I feel like I would be a more confident person. I am 13, and many people in my grade and school have contacts and so does my sister, she has 2 pairs of contacts. I was thinking of getting the color grey, my skin tone is sort of a bronze/olive, despite my avatar. Do you agree with my decision? What do YOU think?

You sound like a child who's fed up with glasses. You can get contact lenses even if you are 11 but you are responsible and you sound this way.

You have to visit your local optometrist/optician to get an eye test and the contacts you want fitted. Your optician will tell you the available brands in your prescription and colour. She will also give you the basic information and your sister can also help you with them.

I'd say grey, hazel and green will look beautiful on you. So, yeah, go for it. Contacts will help you a lot in many occasions. Wish you good luck.



Contact lenses are great and very comfortable to wear. I would suggest you have the lenses fitted correctly.

That would be great. Do what YOU like.



there is nothing wrong with you eyes color, most people in the world has brown or black for one reason, more light absorption. your eyes are more important than most of your body parts, so dont hate them.
dont worry about contact, it is proven that laser surgery is safe, maybe your parents can help you with that but you are too young to do it anyways...remember that contact lenses can give you some infections.
it is nasty looking at someone with contact with different color eyes other than the natural. unless you would like to look like an alien.



I think contacts are really fantastic and much better than glasses. If you want coloured though you need to check taht they are available in your perscription. Get a contact lens check with teh optician and see what is available. Coloured lenses aren't available in as many perscriptions as ordinary lenses, or in as great a variety so you need to take your optiicans advice. He will also be able to give you trial lenses so you can see what sort of colour is best. Other point to watch is that you can't wear contacts all day - your eyes need a break. Also if you are ill/have a cold etc you're going to have ot go back ot glasses so think about how you'd feel about this if people see your eye colour change,.
