Are Glasses Really That Bad?

Those of you who gave up on glasses and now wear contact lenses, I'd like to ask you something - are glasses really that bad? Do you have any spectacle horror stories to tell so maybe more people will try contacts?

I personally like wearing my eye glasses more than my contacts. I don't know why anyone would give them up. Even if you wear your contacts all the time it's still important to have a pair of glasses around.

I personally use glasses and lenses both but i am very happy with my glasses and don't want to scrap them for lenses.

When I only needed them for reading small print, no. But my job is one where I don't want to keep hassling with taking glasses on and off. Also, I am picky about having anything on my face--masks, glasses, fake scars on Halloween, etc. I like a clear face.

Yes glasses are really that bad I stopped wearing them as soon as I could!

Nope they aren't. Most people who have wear glasses would like to get back to the condition when they don't need to wear any glasses as they think that it make them prettier or more handsome.

I don't mind my glasses that much. I just get annoyed at how dirty they get, and how easily. With contacts you just have to close your eyes and they're protected.

I don't think glasses make people look unattractive anyway. Some of the most attractive girls I know (girlfriend included) wear glasses.
