I could never do contacts; thus I wear glasses. They're inconvienent at times, but I like them better than contacts.

Although glad you can see clearly.

This is why i'm going with lasers.

I wanted to try contacts, but the thought of putting things in my eye just does not appeal to me. At all. Maybe one gets over it after a week of practice, but that's a week I'd rather not go through.

Lasers are just a whole other degree of terrifying and are less of an option than contacts.

Glasses might get scratched and dirty (and, on occasion, broken), but I think I definitely prefer them.

my sister uses contacts. at first it was really awkward for her and she didn't like them, but if you're careful and just keep doing it youll get used to it. its just like a habit of brushing your teeth. i think you look pretty with glasses, but contacts would be nice too.

This is why i'm going with lasers.

I tried lasers once. Not much fun. Then again, maybe I shouldn't have tried it at home with a laser pointer

Good to hear you're doing well on that, Turakii. I'll probably never try contacts, my eyes aren't exactly contacts-friendly.

I'm so glad my eyesight works fine. For now, at least.

Seriously, I don't think I could handle contacts. I can't even take eye drops.

Yeah, as you're discovering, all it takes is a bunch of practice. Your eyes will eventually get used to them, I swear. I've had them for almost four years now (... wow) and it takes zero effort to put them in and take them out now.

I actually got them at first because I look better without glasses than I usually do with them, but since then I've discovered that I see much better with contacts. I think it's just because with contacts, I can see sharp -everywhere- I look, whereas with glasses the very sides and top and bottom are blurry since the lenses don't cover those parts...

Yeah, I wasn't able to adapt to hard contacts, so I was prescribed soft onces. Pain in my rear to remove, but it better than my eyes getting irritated when I wear them.

Welcome to the crowd of the visually augmented. |D

I've wanted to try contacts, but then I wouldn't look as cool and smart as I do with glasses on. (and goodness knows I need the help...)

Contacts: Didn't people used to avoid eye-to-foreign object contact?

Lasers: Didn't people used to avoid shining bright lights in their eyes? Except for this one kid from another school who, while doing an experiment with light in science class, shined a laser in his eye for 5 minutes straight, then complained that his eye hurt. He's the reason the kids are no longer allowed to handle laser pointers in science class anymore.

Glasses: Best option.

Nothing: Don't come crying to a fire hydrant when you run into an oak tree.
