This is not a question. I know this is a question site however recently i have discovered something which all you glasses wearers out there may find very useful. After wearing glasses for around 5 years (since the age of 13) this summer I told myself that I would ditch the ol' spectacles and grab myself a pack of contact lenses!
Now of course I've worn contact lenses for nights out and meals… etc before, however, this summer I decided to only wear contact lenses. The only time i wore glasses was in early morning and late evening, to get in and out of bed.
Initially everybody including myself found it odd however I noticed the improvements immediately.My nose isn't massive but it sure ain't small, I'm a big bloke (6ft 3) so you could say my nose is in proportion with the rest of my body and face. With my glasses, the rims seem to extenuate the size of my nose, with out the glasses you could say my nose even looks small!
Secondly, glasses in my opinion are an eyesaw on your face, they take the attention away from you! For example, I have brown eyes… girls have actually come up to me since i took my glasses off and told me that my eyes are a really nice colour! I never got that before!
Thirdly, they make you look geeky… Its true, i wore them for 5 years and in school I was branded as a geek, sure i hung out with a few nerdy guys but i'm definitely not a geek… on the other hand, in my swimming club where most of the time i wear my contact lenses so i can see the "speedo clock" whilst i'm swimming, I'm seen as cool and pretty popular. Glasses create an automatic prejudice which you should want to avoid!
Now, of course some people look good in glasses, but most people- especially young people- are best to avoid the things. There are a few disadvantages to contact lenses though:
- they take time to put in (I find now, after putting them in everyday for the past 10 weeks, I can put them both in within 3 minutes, so this one doesn't really count)
-they are more expensive than glasses. However, i use dailies so if you get the monthly contacts they'll be cheaper.
- If you wear them for a longtime they can dry out and become uncomfortable… This would only really happen if you put them in at 10am for example and then went out clubbing till the early hours of the morning.
Anyway, in conclusion. Contact lenses are the best way to go! Ditch the glasses whilst you still can and improve your appearance plus even social standing! I'm never going back to glasses and if i have children and they need glasses, i'll make sure they enjoy the freedom of contact lenses from an early age… something i didn't get to do.
