Post by: fillfran82 on March 17, 2015, 05:52:14 pm: Hello. :wave: I've been wearing glasses since I was twelve years old. :glasses-nerdy: :-\ I definitely get tired of wearing them. :BangHead: :angry7: Plus I feel more attractive without them. :notworthy: :kiss: :in-love: But unfortunately I can't wear contacts so I'm stuck with glasses. :BangHead: :angry7: :bs: Over the years my eyes have gotten more dependent on the glasses. :BangHead: :BangHead: :angry7: Which kind of depresses me a bit :BangHead: :crybaby2:. But you try to make the best of a bad situation. :clover: :rose: So for now glasses only. :BangHead: :angry7: :bs: :crybaby2:

Post by: killers2 on March 17, 2015, 06:36:37 pm: I have both. I don't like how I look in glasses very much so I like to have contacts when I go out. But I like to give my eyes a rest at night and it is convenient to have a good pair of glasses around the hose!

Post by: dwggs on March 18, 2015, 06:29:44 am: In the past I always preferred my contacts .. but lately when I don't have to go out I usually wear my glasses. I have had multiple surgeries on my left eye which has left my eye dry but I still see better out of the contacts .. dry or not

Post by: gaylasue on March 18, 2015, 08:25:34 am: I wear glasses. I have allergies too bad in my eyes to wear contacts. I have a weird eye condition. One of my eyes is farsighted and the other one is nearsighted.

Post by: debidoo on March 18, 2015, 08:36:33 am: 8) Glasses definitely. It isn't like I really "enjoy" glasses but I can't imagine putting contacts in my eyes one time much less multiple times. I went with a friend to try on colored contacts years ago - the tech got one in and I couldn't let her put the other in and didn't think I was gonna be able to get the one out. I have enough trouble putting in daily eye drops for glaucoma lol

Post by: ladavia89 on March 18, 2015, 08:43:28 am: My allergies are so bad that I usually just stick with glasses. My eyes water and burn from coming in contact with something most days so I wouldn't really be able to see with contacts
Title: Re: Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts?
Post by: michele2042 on March 18, 2015, 09:03:08 am: It's glasses for me. Wanted to do contacts, tried and tried but I just can't stand anything touching my eyeball. I also have very dry eyes so I just stick with my glasses.
Title: Re: Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts?
Post by: linderlizzie on March 18, 2015, 09:10:22 am: I tried doing contacts, but unfortunately was shown how to put them in by a sadist at my ophthalmologist's office. :sweat: She repeatedly told me how crazy it was for people to put things in their eyes and that she was so disgusted with the kids who came in wanting them. :glasses-nerdy: She made me hold my eye wide open with both of my hands and then yelled at me each time because I blinked. When I finally got them in and left, I spent four hours at home trying to get them out. Then I went on youtube and watched someone do it and got them out in a minute or so.

Later, one of the people I work with got his stuck up in his head and had to wait weeks for the swelling to go down so they could get them out. I think I'm just wearing glasses from now on. Guess I'm just a big ole chicken.

Post by: nguzman1 on March 18, 2015, 10:22:21 am: I prefer glasses because contacts always give me problems and dry my eyes out.

Title: Re: Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts?
Post by: cathy37 on March 19, 2015, 03:46:21 pm: I wore glasses from the time I was in 3rd grade until my daughter was born. I got contacts then and wore them for several years. Now I only wear glasses because the contacts did not work for me anymore.

Post by: bretay on March 19, 2015, 03:59:52 pm: i would love to wear contacts,but i have an astigmatism..i know they have them for that now..but they still bother my eyes...so i am stuck with glasses
Title: Re: Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts?
Post by: carmexqueen on March 19, 2015, 04:03:30 pm: I have astigmatism and I prefer contact lenses but they way that my eyes are I'm supposed to use glasses because with contacts I can't get my exact prescription.
Title: Re: Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts?
Post by: pstovall on March 19, 2015, 05:06:37 pm: I wore contacts for over fifty years. I was one of the lucky people who was able to wear bifocal contacts successfully. As I got older I had to wear reading glasses in addition to my contacts to do up close work. It got to where I was wearing my reading glasses so much that it was almost easier to wear my prescription glasses. My eye doctor said that my eyes were getting drier and that I might not be able to wear my contacts much longer, so I gave them up altogether. Now, when I do close up work, I can see better with my plain, near-sighted eyes and NO glasses. I do miss my contacts though.

Post by: moonangel on March 23, 2015, 12:09:09 pm: i like both contacts are great for when im out but for inside and reading etc glasses work best then for me
Title: Re: Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts?
Post by: clickers on March 23, 2015, 12:23:24 pm: I prefer glasses, although, contacts are unnoticed. I have really sensitive eyes, so the placement and wearing would be rather uncomfortable for me.

Post by: vg7405 on March 23, 2015, 03:16:34 pm: None of the above. I had PRK surgery about two years ago, and I feel great. I used to wear eyeglasses. Since I have to choose between the two, I would say glasses. Sticking my finger in my eye to grab a piece of plastic on a regular basis does not seem very appealing to me, LOL.
Title: Re: Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts?
Post by: BlackSheepNY on March 23, 2015, 04:04:47 pm: I've been wearing contacts since I was about 15 years old and have never looked back.

Title: Re: Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts?
Post by: squirrelgirl44 on March 23, 2015, 09:07:57 pm: I wear both. I wear contacts most of the time, but really only because I can't find a good, inexpensive pair of glasses that fit my face and don't slide off my nose. I take my contacts out when I get home and wear my glasses in the evening.

Post by: Kay0338 on March 23, 2015, 09:17:17 pm: I LOVE my contacts, but I ran out and haven't had time to make an appointment. My glasses are driving me crazy.
Title: Re: Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts?
Post by: jenniferhoder on March 24, 2015, 05:25:31 am: I think contacts are EASIER, but if you get something caught underneath one, OUCH!
Title: Re: Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts?
Post by: appy9104 on March 24, 2015, 06:56:59 am: Love my contacts, hate the glasses. Blind as a bat without them! And as prescription has gotten stronger I can't see well very close up (small labels, thread a needle type stuff) with my contacts (fine without, strong prescription lol) so I had to get some reading glasses!!

I prefer contacts. But I was forced to go back to glasses. My dry eye was just to painful to continue wearing contact lenses. After thinking about all the years I pulled on my eye tissue taking those contacts in and out, my skin is probably thankful. BMaston12

Post by: djohnson43 on March 24, 2015, 07:31:23 am: I don't have 20-20 and in high school I did wear contacts but after an accident when I was 18 and went into the windshield I haven't been able to wear them again. I'm suppose to wear glasses, especially when I'm reading, but haven't been. Besides the prescription is about four years old or so now.

Post by: Shandara09 on March 24, 2015, 04:01:38 pm: I've had glasses since third grade, but I've never had contacts. I sometimes think about trying them out, but don't have the extra money to.
Title: Re: Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts?
Post by: davidh121 on March 24, 2015, 08:25:51 pm: I rotate between the two. Usually when I'm seeing clients I wear my contacts, but a lot of times I just wear my glasses as I'm just too lazy and I'm long use to them. I don't follow too much on the hype of frame brands, however.

Post by: misi49 on March 25, 2015, 04:37:23 pm: I have been wearing glasses for the past 10 years. I have never tried contacts and probably never will. I don't feel comfortable putting something into my eyes.
