What is better glasses or contacts for snow skiing?

Question

i am going snow skiing and i wear glasses would it be better for me to get contacts?

Answer 1

I wear contacts and goggles.  It works good.  Normally I just wear glasses.  You can't just go out and get contacts. You have to get fitted, which is usually around 100.00, then you have to buy the contacts.  Those are expensive too.

Answer 2

contacts so u can wear ur goggles

Answer 3

Either, as long as you can get your goggles on over the glasses.  Tell me you are wearing goggles!

Answer 4

Contacts then goggles so you get no snow to mess up your contacts.

Answer 5

The thing with glasses that I hated is that they would fog up all the time when I went inside.  

I wear contacts now and sometimes they dry out when it is really windy.  Nothing worse than a contact popping out and landing on your goggle and getting stuck there.  I wouldn't recommend getting contacts just for skiing.  

Don't try to force goggles over your glasses that aren't made to be put over glasses.  Get a pair of goggles made to be put over you glasses and you will be very happy.

Answer 6

I would get contacts and get some goggles too, If not your eyes will dry out. From the wind.

Answer 7

Contacts would be more comfortable if you want to wear goggles.

Answer 8

contacts i guess

Answer 9

I rarely wear my contacts skiing. It has to be a very snowy day for me think about putting them in. My goggles fit well over my glasses in the event I run into a freak snow squall and need the extra eye protection.

Mostly I wear prescription sunglasses. The ones I have were quite expensive ($155 just for the lenses) but they are polarized and they change tint so I can even wear them in low light conditions. The frame is almost a wrap-around style, so they fit close to my helmet and I rarely have any issues with them. They eliminate the need to wear goggles.

The lenses are the brand Drivewear. They are the best sunglasses I've ever had and I now even hate to have to wear my goggles.

Answer 10

i would were contacts, but you HAVE to were sun glasses or goggles over them or you will get snow blind (sun shining onto snow). you cant realy wear glasses unless they are dark ones.

Answer 11

glasses or your eyes will water at fast speed

Answer 12

Whichever you're most comfortable in is best for you.

You can get goggles that fit over glasses and if you keep them on you shouldn't have a fog issue.  If you lift the goggles up and then put them back down it's that temperature change that'll make your glasses fog up.

I wear contacts with goggles when I board.
