Glasses, Contacts, or Both

If you wear glasses, you may have considered wearing, or already wear contacts, as well. If you wear contacts, you may be thinking of glasses, too. It’s a common decision to own both glasses and contacts; each has its benefits and potential problems, and each can relieve the wearer of the problems from the other for a time.

Contacts

Contacts seem better for some. They attach to the eye for better, closer vision coverage, including peripheral vision and astigmatism correction. They are light and cause no discomfort to your face or head. They do not reflect glare or fog, and you do not have to purchase prescription sunglasses, but can have any sunglasses you choose to cover your eyes. You also don’t have to fret over the best lenses for your appearance.

Contacts must also be cleaned, just as glasses must. However, dirty contacts are not just a vision issue, they can also cause infection. They dry over time, even in the eye, and can cause discomfort. Some also claim that contacts cause their eyes to be tired more quickly.

Glasses

Glasses can do all the things for your vision that contacts can. Though you may have to become accustomed to the weight on your face and the less clear peripheral vision, glasses are simply more comfortable for some. For those who want to avoid touching their eyes, glasses are a much better option. Frames come in various designs and most people can find a frame comfortable enough to wear regularly.

Others may choose both. They wear contacts for activities during which glasses may slip, be in the way, or not have enough vision coverage. Then, they switch to glasses when they read, when their contacts get dry, or when their eyes need a rest after a long day in contacts.

Whether you wear only glasses, or glasses in addition to your contacts, Speert has a wealth of frames from which to choose. Find your most comfortable and fashionable frames on our site today.
