Glasses vs. Contacts

Glasses
  • Pro: They protect dust and water from getting into your eyes
  • Con: That dust or water just sort of sits on the lenses
  • Pro: Easy to clean, just just need the edge of your shirt
  • Con: It's hard to tell if they're dirty because they're so close to your face
  • Pro: As long as your sense of style doesn't change and they don't break, they last forever
  • Con: They get in the way when you're lying on your side
  • Pro: They're adorable when you're little
  • Con: They get in the way of headbands
  • Pro: They make you look more professional/intelligent 
  • Con: You can't have cool sunglasses with curved lenses, you need ones with flat lenses that can be replaced with prescription lenses
  • Pro: In science class, they often are enough to warrant not needing those dorky protective glasses
  • Con: In chemistry class, you have to wear those dorky protective glasses over your glasses
  • Pro: There are tons of awesome/cute/professional/quirky frames you can have
  • Con: People often think they're dorky
Contacts

  • Pro: You don't have to worry about prescription sunglasses
  • Con: You have to stick your fingers into your eye to put them in
  • Pro: They don't get in the way when you're in awkward positions (like upside-down)
  • Con: Contact solution is very expensive!
  • Pro: People don't realize you are a little blind
  • Con: They can tear if you mishandle them.
  • Pro: You don't have to worry about getting picked on or being called a nerd
  • Con: They have to be replaced when they get old
  • Pro: Won't come out when your face is dripping in sweat
  • Con: They can fold over or get kinks while in your eye
  • Pro: The cases are small and easy to slip into your pocket 
  • Con: They're basically invisible, so easily lost
  • Pro: You get 360 vision, so you don't have to worry about looking over or under your frames
  • Con: They can get dry and very uncomfortable
Glasses get a 4/5, and contacts get a 3.5/5. 
If you're slightly blind, what do you wear?
