EYE GLASSESS OR LENS ??

Whether you choose to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses for vision correction mostly depends on personal preferences. Lifestyle, comfort, convenience, budget and aesthetics should all factor comes into your decision-making process.

I can just say what is the pros and cons of each in order to make you analyze things in more systematic manner.

WHY EYEGLASSESS ?

Pros :

1. Eyeglasses offer many benefits over contact lenses.
2. They require very little cleaning and maintenance, you don’t need to touch your eyes to wear them .
3. Glasses are cheaper than contact lenses in the long run since they don’t need to be replaced as often.
4. They can adjust the amount of light entering your eye for optimum comfort and vision.
5. Eyeglass lenses block 100% UV and protect not only the inside of the eye from UV, but the exterior of the eye and eyelids as well.
6. Wearing glasses reduces the need to touch your eyes, which in turn reduces the likelihood of irritating your eyes or developing an eye infection.
7. If you have dry or sensitive eyes, glasses won’t exacerbate the problem like contact lenses can.

Cons:

1. Some people don’t like how they look in glasses and feel it detracts from their facial aesthetics or hides their features.
2. Some frames can exert constant pressure on your nose and behind your ears, leading to headaches and general discomfort.
3. Your vision can be obstructed or blurred when they fog up in cold weather.
4. If you have a strong prescription, your glasses might make your eyes appear unnaturally minified or magnified.

WHY LENS ?

Pros:

1. Contacts conform to the curvature of your eye, providing a wider field of view and causing less vision distortions and obstructions
2. Contact lenses don’t get in the way when playing sports and exercising.
3. Contact lenses won’t clash with what you’re wearing.
4. Contacts typically aren’t affected by weather conditions and won’t fog up in cold weather like glasses.
5. If you want to see how you would look with a different eye color, you can experiment with color contact lenses.
6. Some contact lenses can reshape your cornea while you sleep. Overnight orthokeratology (Ortho-k) temporarily corrects myopia, so you can see clearly the next day without the need for glasses or contacts.

Cons:

1. If you work at a computer often, wearing contact lenses will likely contribute to symptoms of computer vision syndrome.
2. Contacts require proper lens care and lens case cleaning each day, to avoid potentially serious eye infections. 
3. It doesn’t block UV rays as much as eyeglasses.
4. If you accidentally fall asleep while wearing daily wear contacts, your eyes typically will be dry, gritty, red and irritated when you wake.
5. Contact Lenses are costlier as it has to be changed periodically
6. It doesn’t protect you from wind and dust instead it will make eye irritated.
7. They don’t adjust light entering into your eye.
