Everyone has their preference contacts or glasses. They both are great options especially if you can’t see without them. Glasses sit on your eye while contacts are inside your eye with their curvature. When your vision is not 20/20 you have a choice between these two and neither is really the wrong answer. It mostly depends on your preference and lifestyle.

There are two types of glasses: single vision and multifocal lenses. Single vision glasses are used to correct single vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Multifocal lenses are for people who have more than one vision problem normally need multifocal lenses.

Pros and Cons of Glasses

One of the biggest pros for glasses is that they are easy to put on and take off. You don’t need a special cleaning solution and they really don’t need much attention. You can grab them and go whenever you want. You also don’t have to touch your eyes and you can also choose from many frames to fit your style.

There are many cons for glasses as well. The frames can get in the way and can distort your vision. Some people don’t like the feeling they get when the frames rest on their nose and ears. People also do not like how they look in glasses. Glasses are also not usually the best choice when engaging in active activities.

Contacts are a thin disk of glass or plastic that goes directly into your eyes to help correct vision.

Pros and Cons of Contacts
