Glasses during work week.. I look at a variety of distances and screens. I have progressives. Contacts on the weekend, break out readers for the phone.

Watching my brother put in and take out his contacts as a kid put me off then forever. Glasses all the way, plus I found I style that really suits me! I look weird without them, lol.

scleral lenses are better than soft lenses since u can put them for 16 hours straight without suffocating ur eyes (eye blood veins need air to function), but with all lenses, u cant use them in contact with water like while showering or something. also high prescription glasses aren't fun either, maybe bit safer. combination of both would make sense i guess.

I used to prefer contacts, but I am an idiot, and kept forgetting to blink (yeah, that’s a thing), so I would get dry-eyes. So I told my eye doctor I am too stupid to wear contacts, and I have been using glasses ever since. While I miss the freedom contacts affords, I do not miss dry-eyes and the related fatigue.

I prefer progressive lenses when working (mostly at a computer) and contacts when I'm off work and out and about in the world.

I prefer glasses over contacts because I hate anything to come closer to my eyes.
