Contacts. I can open the dishwasher without being blinded. I can use any safety lenses. I can use any sunglasses I want and even cheapies at the gas station if i need to . They just simplify my life. I’ve never had issues putting them in or having irritation.
Same here. I’ve worn contacts for 50 years (my user name isn’t a lie). A few minutes of inconvenience at the beginning and end of the day, and I don’t have to think about my vision aids the rest of the time. And I can walk in the rain and still see!
Contacts. Peripheral vision is amazing. I’ve never had problems putting them in. Wind does make them dry but I carry eye drops. And I don’t even notice they are there. It’s like I don’t have vision problems. I love them.
Contacts! I hate the marks glasses leave on your face. I never lose my contacts. They don’t get dirty or broken. It’s 2 minutes morning and night and then not another thought about it throughout the day. I can wear any sunglasses i want.
Laser eye surgery
That’s what I did, although my recommendation would be for people to do it as early as possible. Whenever your eyes stop changing, figure out how to pay for it. A lot of reputable places run good specials from time to time.
My challenge is I got mine basically right before or right as my age related farsightedness started to come in. But on the whole, I’m very happy with it.
People told me that but most places won’t take you before you’re 20 (but it changes, I remember I had to wait 2 years after my last prescription change but was told just 6 months after I had waited those 2 years ofc)
Even getting it done at 20-22 is great. The sooner the better. It’s a life changer

I used to prefer contacts over glasses unless I was water skiing. After I got LASIK, I prefer neither.
Glasses.
I don’t mind wearing contact lenses, but I don’t like having to do it every day when I wake up. And don’t even get me started on having to take off the contact lenses when you get home after partying and drinking.
50/50. If I’m working at home all day I’ll just wear glasses. I take it off multiple times a day too when my face is irritated. If I’m going out I’ll usually wear contacts. If I’m lazy then I won’t. Having both is nice for options.
Contacts. They don’t fog up and I don’t have to worry to loose them mountainbiking, while in a moshpit, etc.
Still have some glasses at home for late night gaming sessions when the eyes get tired/dry
I don’t want a foreign object inside of me, so I’ll stick with the glasses.
I prefer contracts but I’m lazy and only wear them when I’m snowboarding, which is like one or twice a year now, or if I’m going out and want to look nice.
The most annoying part about glasses is needing to always carry a second pair of (sun)glasses, but since I got magnetic frames I’ve found it to be a bit less of an inconvenience. I can take on and off my sunglasses while driving without worrying I’m going to die.
Glasses. I think my face actually looks better with glasses.
Glasses during work week… I look at a variety of distances and screens. I have progressives. Contacts on the weekend, break out readers for the phone.
Glasses, its what I had since I was little and now I’m used to it
I’ve never tried contacts and never will. The idea just feels weird. People also say I look weird without glasses on because very, very few people have seen me without glasses every since I started wearing them. I only take them off to clean them, sleep, and take showers.
Definitely glasses. I tried contacts when I was younger. It took the eye doctor about 15 minutes to put on my trial set of contacts for me and I was very concerned about how the hell we were going to get them back out. I tried to put them in by myself in the mornings before school for about a week and couldn’t get them in once. So I gave up.
Shame, because I feel like I look better without my glasses. But oh well
