glasses.  I can't tolerate contacts and my eyes are not all that bad so I prefer the glasses.  I also need/want the anti-glare features of glasses and that has been a tremendous help for me.

It is funny that I have came across this topic.  I have an eye appointment tomorrow afternoon and will probably asked if I prefer contacts or glasses.  I dont think that I could touch my eye haha, therefore, I think I will be sticking it with the Glasses!

I wear both but really only need them for driving. For the last year or so I only wear a contact in one eye. Otherwise it is hard to read fine print.  Takes a little getting use to at first but works well. Prescription is roughly the same in both eyes so I can switch if I need to. Half the cost. I also try to never sllep with them in as I've had some problems doing that.

I got contacts about 7 years ago and have loved them.  It was hard at first getting used to sticking something into my eye but now I hate wearing my glasses.  Most of the time, I don't even realize I have anything in.  I see so much better because I don't have to worry about my glasses getting dirty or being scratched or glare.  And most of all, if it rains, I can still see and I can wear sunglasses now.

I had glasses until when I was 12 or 13 and I wear contact lenses now. I don't even know where my glasses are.

I don't use either, but if I had to, I would prefer contacts.

LOL i was just thinking about this last night!!! Wow, alright well i prefer my contacts over glasses because i dont have to worry about keeping something on my face,i have FULL vision with contacts instead of being forced to look through a constricted lense. When it rains glasses fog up realllll bad lol, ive gotten lost before. But i dont take my contacts out, their supposed to come out every night for liek 6 hours n soak but i keep em in till they fall out or i feel they need to come out. The doc told me my eyes arnt that bad so i dont worry about it. Plus if i were getting robbed i would rather wake up and have the same advantage as the person doing it, without glasses.(just an example) Sight first.

I have never tried contact lenses. I am perfectly happy with my glasses.

neither - have lens implants - about the price of a small car - but could not drive without them - go figure - IMHO >> In My Humble Opinion - The MUSEUM, Zazzle, deviantART, ArtFire, FineArtAmerica

I wore glasses for 5 years and I kept getting headaches. I got to where I could'nt stand them touching my face. I made the switch to contacts and I have done great with them for the past 8 years.
