If you’re on the fence about whether to go for glasses or contacts, you’re not alone. Many people struggle to decide, as there are several pros and cons for each.
That said, one area where contact lenses come out on top is convenience. Pop them in and you’re good to go – there’s no need to worry about losing them down the side of the sofa or accidentally sitting on them in the car. They also don’t fog up due to temperature changes like traditional eyeglasses would, and no matter what activities you’re engaged in, they’ll always stay nicely in place (unlike glasses, which can be difficult and awkward to exercise with).
Another benefit is that they won’t mess up your makeup or clash with a given outfit, and you can wear a wide variety of different types of headgear, such as helmets and goggles, and not have to worry about positioning your glasses perfectly or them getting broken. Glasses also typically come with a higher upfront cost, so contacts may be better for you from a budget perspective, too.
Of course, despite the benefits, many people still unnecessarily fear using contacts because they’re worried about putting them in. It might seem daunting at first, but rest assured – it’s far simpler than you do think.
