Should I get contacts or new glasses?

Question

My old glasses are so d**n smudged from scratches etc that it's actually blurry when I put them on. And I think my vision may also have gotten worse.

So should I get contacts (I've wanted them for sooo bad) or new glasses (quite exxi)?

Answer 1

I have been wearing contacts since I was 12 and I'm now 28, so you are not too young and it won't be bad for you. You would just have to take care of your lenses in the right way and you will be fine. If your parents had bad experiences with contacts it doesn't mean that you will too! And if you really want contacts as bad as you say you do I can promise you getting them will be life changing for you! I never in 16 years had problems with wearing contacts, once you get use to them you won't even know they are there! So maybe you should just give it a try...it sure is worth it. Good luck!

Answer 2

Sooooooo bad? Then get contacts.

Answer 3

I know you don't want to hear this, but...  since you're 14 it's not really your choice.  Your parents have final say.  

Personally, I've always liked women with glasses... that whole nerdy librarian who's really hot but doesn't know it thing.  Very s**y.

Answer 4

glasses can make you look s**y

Answer 5

glasses are a big pain in the butt.

i love them!

Answer 6

Depending on what you want to get, if you didn't like glasses for them smudging and being scratched then get contacts.

I wear glasses and i do think that contacts are less hassle, yeah they're slightly more expensive but they don't get all finger marks, broken or scratched and they last all day.

Answer 7

I say glasses. Contacts aren't very good for your eyes and can cause irritations etc. Glasses are much better for you.

Answer 8

Try to use soft lenses to start with. Please do not go for use & throw lenses right from the beginning.

Answer 9

Get glasses. At such a young age, contacts may not be good for you. As you grow older and you wear your contacts for a long time, you will get dry eyes and your eyes are prone to infection if you do not religiously clean your contacts properly. It is also a hassle to clean your contacts. Get a trendy pair of glasses and save the contacts for that special occasion.
