Glasses and Contacts

Choosing between wearing Glasses and Contacts made easy with this overview of pros and cons

Glasses and contacts are worn in order to correct a defect in the vision of the wearer. The power determining the corrective-ness of your vision is known as the prescription, and in part this will play a role in whether you should wear glasses or contacts. Assuming that all is equal though, the following are some things that you may needs to consider when deciding whether to wear glasses or contacts.

Glasses

The upside of wearing glasses is that they are very easy to put on! This also makes them quick to put on. However, the ease here losses some of its appeal with the bulky appearance that glasses give and with the pain that can sometimes be felt across the bridge of the nose after long-term wear. That said, at least among men, wearing glasses can sometimes be considered as having a more "academic" or "sophisticated" look. But, if you want to wear glasses whilst playing sport, you'll most probably have to buy a specially adapted pair. So, overall, wearing glasses has its ups and downs.

Contacts

The most consistently attributed upside with wearing contacts is that no one need know that your are wearing them unless you tell them. There is no tell-tell signs of a weakness that are associated with wearing glasses. Likewise, the most consistent downside with wearing contacts is the time it takes to put them in - or, at least, the time it takes to learn how to put them in quickly. Having said that, contact wear is ideal for sport. It can be fun wearing cosmetic contacts to change your appearance. But, back on the downside is the concern that you may contract an infection without proper cleaning.

So, choosing between wearing glasses and contacts should now be a lot easier
