Contacts...?

[♥Ariel♥]

I am thinking about getting contacts. what are you opions on them. anything is helpful!

 

[Daisuke]

they're nice..I don't really where contacts cuz I have to but I have blue ones that I love..you have to take care of them and sometimes they'll hurt your eye if you put it in wrong or whatever..but after a while you get the hang of it..and sometimes your eye gets kinda dry so you just have to put some visine in

I wear contacts now (I'm 16). I've needed corrective lenses since I was 10 (4th grade). I wore glasses up until 7th grade when I switchesed to contacts to make it easier to play basketball.
It depends on how old you are, how responsible you are, what your parents and eye doctor think/feel, and how confortable you with touching your eye.
So, IMO, contacts are so much easier. Glasses just get in my way. I'm able to go about life as if I didn't need corrective lenses. BUT they can be annoying too. Like remembering to change them out and clean them every night. Also taking out them out before I go to bed (which I don't always) can be a hassel (all part of being responsible). Also they can bother your eyes if you get dirt or anything little on them or if they rip (which can happen especially if you sleep in them).
You need to be confortable with touching your eyes since the contact goes right on your eye. It may seem like there are more cons than pros, but I think the pros outweight them. I'm very athletic and my glasses would just get in the way.
One thing I really don't like about my contacts is that I have an astgimatism, but my contacts (I have to wear a certain kind due to my eyes themselves and my perscription) do not correct them...but I get over that fact.

I've had contacts for 5 years now. Once you get used to them you don't even know you're wearing them.After while it doesn't take as long to get them in/out.

they are the best thing thats happened to my vision in the last 2 years. they are so easy to put in and out once you learn.

I have conctacts (I don't wear them all the time, especially when I'm just at home), but I do LOVE them....lol. They are cool to have, especially if you don't like to wear glasses.

Get them.
It's not a waste of money.
They're amazing. I've had them for about two years now.
They took me about 10 minutes to get in before, now it's super easy to put them in.
Good luck!

I also have a question about contacts.
Do you have to be a certin age to get contacts...

 

[tinkerbell12]

Not really, but my eye doctor wanted to wait until I was older so I was more responsible and would be able to take care of my eyes and my contacts.

What age were you when you got yours.

I got contacts when I was 12.
As long as you don't have problems touching your eye, you should totally get them.
They made my life so much easier for sports.
But when you get them, still wear your glasses sometimes.
If you wear the contacts too much (esp. in the beginning) they really start to bug your eyes!

Talk to your parents and try to tell them the good things about them.
They will help with sports, there is no risk of broken glasses, ect.
Good luck with it!
