Glasses or Contacts?
- posted: Oct. 09, 2018
Having blurry vision is no fun. Once you have an eye exam done by your eye care specialist, the decision to get glasses or contacts will be the next step to seeing clearly. Make sure to ask your optometrist if both glasses and contacts are options for you. There are pros and cons to both, so learn more about each option before making a decision. While deciding, there are a few key things to keep in mind:
Make sure you are comfortable.
Don’t pick glasses or contact without testing both products. Take the time to try out each option and determine which one feels the most comfortable for you. Glasses might put some extra weight on your face or be uncomfortable on your head. Contacts may make your eyes dry and are difficult for some people to put in. Everyone is different. One option may not work for someone you know but is perfect for you, so try both options.
Think about your day to day schedule.
If you are an athlete, contacts might be a better fit because they don’t fall off your face and don’t obscure your peripheral vision. If you work in an office setting where you stare at a computer for long periods of time, glasses might be a better option. Your day-to-day schedule influences how you use your eyes, so it is important to choose an option that helps your eyes perform at their best.
Consider your budget.
Depending on the type you choose, contacts can be more expensive in the long run since they only last for a certain period of time (daily, monthly, etc.) before they need to be replaced, whereas glasses are usually a one-time payment that can last for a couple years (unless you break or misplace them or your eye sight changes). Make sure you understand what the cost will be for each option and decide on the one that fits your budget.
Often times, you will need a pair of glasses as a backup even if your primary choice is contacts. If you do have both, it is simple for you to choose what to wear depending on the day and your routine activities.
