They interfere with sports and peripheral vision. I don't see that as a worse tradeoff than applying something directly to your eyeball or paying for laser surgery.

Yeah, I am also astigmatic, and I wear glasses when doing homework/reading, watching t.v. etc... I HATE wearing them when going out and I usually wear contacts then and while playing sports. Btw, what is your prescription? I know no one with eyes as bad as me: both eyes -6.25 :(

My eyes are slowly deteriorating, I wear glasses but not constantly even though I need to.

Never tried contacts.

I wear glasses for almost every second that I am awake because I'm basically blind as a bat without them and I can barely do anything without having them on.

Maybe because I sat too close to the TV when I was a child?

Glasses all the time. I don't mind though. I like my glasses, so wearing them isn't a bother to me. The idea of contacts weirds me out a little, but since I like glasses, it's not even a question for me to consider changing. Don't know how bad my eyes are in terms of numbers anymore, and it's been a while since I've seen an eye doctor. My old one retired, and we haven't found a new one. Maybe next summer.

I wear my glasses because my vision is slowly deteriorating as well. I have really bad vision though so I really need my glasses for everything. =(

I also never tried contacts but I guess I'm used to my glasses so I really never bothered.

I wear glasses and contacts. Wore glasses up until about...sophomore year of high school. Then switched to contacts. I still wear my glasses most of the time. Contacts are a freakin' pain to put in sometimes. x__x And can be time consuming.

I'm nearsighted, I mostly use contacts but when I get lazy I do use my glasses.

I think I look better with glasses on too. :S

This, except for the last part. I think contacts suit me better. To each their own choosing, I guess. :ohwell:

It's funny. I get a lot of people who say I look better with contacts and I thought that too for a long time, but I think the style of my glasses suits me well. I'm just weird. :p

i wear glasses. They're girly glasses so I'm thinking of getting fobby ones sometime soon XD When I find the money that is.

My vision is decent, worst than most of my friends who have glasses though.

I always have my glasses with me but I only put them on when I can't see something. Like the board. But most of my teachers don't use the board.

Never tried contacts.

So yeah.

I used to wear glasses but now I manage without them. I never had eye surgery and I don't wear contacts.

Most of the time I wear contacts but if I know I'm going to be up late or gaming for long periods of time i wear glasses, contacts can be such a pain when you're wearing them late at night.

My vision is incredible, but it's really pathetic if I don't sleep enough.

Glasses make me look clever though, so I'd avoid them even with horrendous vision.

I use my glasses when I drive at night, raining, or very long distances. If something is too far in class, I might pull them out as well. My vision isn't that bad, and I hate contacts.

I've worn glasses since I was three. I still have my first pair. I can't wear contacts because they don't make them my perscription . But I love my glasses. They change constantly (almost every year) and keep up with my personality.. :)

unfortunately. -some- people claim (that's there's a wooooman to blame.. nah) that I look better in them, but after being called 4-eyes and the like for my whole childhood basically, I definitely developed a self-conscious streak about them, and would prefer contacts, though last time I wore those, I was driving and they rolled up like a window shade when I blinked and I almost crashed my car doing 80 on I-70. Never have worn them since. One day I may get surgery, but my uncorrected vision is really bad, like 20/150 in the right and 20/200 in the left... dunno if surgery would even help.

My glasses are usually off when I'm not in class, watching TV, playing video games, or surfing the internet.

I alternate between glasses and contacts, it depends on how I feel that day. Right now I'm wearing glasses. I'm legally blind without them, and I'm slightly astigmatic.
