Poll question: Glasses or Contacts?
Which do you, or would you, (if you needed them) prefer/use.

5. Glasses
I'm surprised by this poll result. Usually, most people prefer to wear contact lenses.

I have a very difficult time putting things in my eye. I even hate it when the doctor puts drops in my eyes.

6. Both
Glasses at home, contacts when going out. I've had thick glasses since I was 6 years old, and I think I still have a complex about being teased all those years. I'm extremely near sighted and have astigmatism. But, my husband thinks I look hot in glasses, particularly the retro looking black frames I wear now.

7. Contact lenses gave me back my life
You miss a lot, going along with coke bottles strapped to your head. Suddenly, I had peripheral vision again! I could DO THINGS without having my glasses come off. My ears were no longer pushed into "monkey position" holding the damn things up.

Of course, after a day of wearing contacts, a good pair of glasses can be a pleasant change, like changing into a bathrobe after a day in sweats.

9. I wear both at the same time.... Where's that option...
I wear contacts for seeing. When I read I wear half glasses. It'ls like wearing bifocals without actually wearing bifocals.

14. Contacts, especially in the rain
Glasses don't always fit. Contacts don't require tightening.
