I wear contacts for distance vision.
Never tried contacts. Scares me. Do you always put them on?

I broke my old ones and today I'm going to get new frames. The thing is I only feel like putting them when watching a movie or driving, but I think this time I will use it more often because I either lose them or break them when I'm not putting them on.

Yeah every day. I get these contacts called Acuevue Oasys. Each pair lasts approximately 30 days (I believe there are 6 pairs in each box so one box lasts me 6 months). Nothing scary at all about them. The only thing sucky about them is that if you fall asleep in them they get really dry and bother you to the point that you have to take them out and the other is if they come in contact with water. The latter though is almost never a problem even though you'd think it's common. I've worn them in the shower and water just never hits them.

I couldn't wear glasses because I didn't get bad eye sight until I was like 18 so I'd look weird wearing glasses all of a sudden. Though I do need to buy a pair for emergencies and to wear them around the house.

Do you play sports with contacts on? It doesn't disturb?

I look weird wearing glasses too but at least they're comfy when I'm watching Tv or driving at night :D

I've been wearing glasses since I was in 5th grade and have been wearing lenses since I was 18. I use glasses at home because I can't be arsed to wear lenses, but usually wear lenses when I go out or for work etc. And I've pretty terrible vision without them, so have to have them on almost all the time.
Playing sports with lenses isn't a big deal. The new ones are almost comfortable all the time except when a speck of dirt gets stuck on them. Even then a few winks and it's all good.

Yeah dude...you should wear them when you're playing sports specifically :D It never affects you besides the 2 things I told you. Get yourself contacts and a pair of glasses. Wear the contacts 14-16hrs then take them out (don't get the 1 day contacts..get the 30 day ones) put them in the solution and when you get home put on your glasses.

edit: When you put 'em on you don't even notice them. I'm wearing them right now and I can't feel them at all; they're practically weight less and no one else can tell I wear them either.

Do you also use them for distances? Seen some of your pics with glasses, fits you you bastard.

The first week it was then it's like riding a bike.
:agree:

Yup. I love wearing glasses. The problem though is that once if you wear them for as long as I have, your eyes tend to look like they have sunk in. That's where lenses are better. You tend to keep your good looks :)P). I do think, if you get the right pair, you'd look insanely hot with spectacles.
