Should I get contacts or stay with glasses?

I had an eye appointment about a month ago and I had to get glasses. The doctor said I can switch to contacts if I want to. I don't really like my glasses, I look WAY better with out them. I heard that contacts can be hard to put in and expensive. Should I get contacts or stay with glasses?

I think you should get contacts, but keep your glasses. I have contacts, and they are hard to put in and take out at first, but after a week, you get used to them, it's really easy. They're also really comfortable most of the time. As for price, check to see if your insurance covers it. They're definitely worth it though. On days you don't want to wear your contacts, or if you don't have time to put them in, you can always just wear your glasses.

Try contacts - you can always go to glasses if needed - they're not hard to put in - just a little time to get used to - I would go with disposable...Good luck !!

I personally like my glasses better... for one I dont haft to poke my eye out lol

I prefer glasses - although I prefer the way I look without my glasses on, contacts are just too expensive in my opinion for what they are and they don't make the non-disposable kind anymore. And the truth is contacts are not a replacement for glasses - if you have contacts, you are not supposed to wear them every day, at least one day of the week you are supposed to wear glasses instead of contacts to give your eyes a rest from the contact lenses and avoid further damage to your eyes.

Personally I stick with glasses, but hope to get my eyes buzzed in the next few years so I don't have to worry about glasses or contacts at all. But its a personal choice... if you don't mind the cost, and don't like wearing glasses all the time, then contacts might be the solution for you.

Most people look better with contacts (I say most because some people actually look better with glasses).
Most eye doctors will give you contacts you can try for a while...
Yes they take a while to get used to but it really isnt that hard to put them in, but you're still going to need your glasses (your eyes get tired, infections, sometimes your eyes just dont want to let the contacts sit...)

I guess try the contacts, see how you feel after a week or so...

They are more expensive though...

its good to have both =)
