Do you prefer contact lenses or glasses and why?
I prefer Glasses. Times have changed! Stereotypes about glasses being too geeky or uncool are gradually reducing. In fact, they look pretty cool to me. Here’s why I prefer them over contact lenses -
More options - There are a lot more choices when it comes to fashion glasses. There are various colours, materials and styles to choose from. For example, clear glasses are one of the latest trends. And since frames are the first accessory that people notice about you, it helps to keep up with the trends.
Easy to wear - I guess contacts are just not for me. Each time I have tried to wear them, it takes ages to put on, not to mention the discomfort. I don’t have to touch my eyes at all with glasses.
Dress according to personality or occasion - I have different pairs of shoes for office, casual wear, weddings, etc. Then why not the same for glasses? I can wear a sophisticated metal pair for a job interview, and cool aviators for a road trip. Maybe that is why a lot of people wear fashion glasses even without a prescription.
Apart from this, they can also provide protection against glare, UV rays and blue light with the right coatings. So it is a case of convenience, style and protection for me!
