I've only had contacts in the past, but I got my first pair of glasses today. I kind of love them. I didn't think I would.

Yep. Every single day for the past 10 years. I've never wanted contacts.

Yes, when I'm not wearing my contacts. I just bought a new pair and I can't wait until I get them!

I switch between glasses and contacts depending on my activities. If I'm doing a lot of reading/studying/office work then I wear glasses, if I'm out and about then I wear contacts.

I wear reading glasses but I lost them when we moved when I was 6 months pregnant. I found them again a week or two again and just having them on for a minute or two made me strain so hard that my head was starting to hurt. Apparently I need to get a new prescription!

Yes. It's scary at this point not to eat them. My life is so much clatter now. I tried contacts for all of a few minutes when I was at the eye doctor, but I couldn't get the hang of it at all.

Yup. I used to wear contacts only but now I love my glasses. The only downside is I can't wear much make-up, as in mascara with them because my eyelashes are so long they hit the glasses and it drives me insane. I like how easy it is to throw glasses on though, and not have to deal with contacts!

Yes I have been wearing glasses since I was 11! I never really liked contacts and I think I look better with glasses anyhow.

Yep! Every day! I used to have contacts but developed an allergy. Then I got a pair of glasses I loved and now I can't imagine going back!

I go back and forth between contacts and glasses. It usually depends on how tired/lazy I am in the morning and what the weather is like (I try to wear contacts if it's a sunny day so I can use my sunglasses, or if it's really rainy so I don't have to deal with the rain spots. If it's just gray and cloudy, it's glasses all the way). I also love that moment in the evening when I switch out my contacts for glasses, it's equivalent to changing work clothes for yoga pants and a sweatshirt

I pretty much wore contacts exclusively since junior high, but just switched to now mostly wearing glasses (except during yoga/sports/yard-work). I actually really like my glasses now!

I wear contacts all day. And glasses right before I go to bed and in the morning.

@chopsuey: same! I try to wear my glasses more on the weekends to give my eyes a break.

I do! I used to wear contacts all the time and hated my glasses, but my eyes decided to hate contacts and now I wear my glasses 99% of the time. I don't love it, but I don't hate them either and I weirdly get a lot of compliments on them.

@PurplePeony: "...it's equivalent to changing work clothes for yoga pants and a sweatshirt" HAHAHA that is SO true! I have the same weather based thought process as you

Yup. I wear contacts too but I wear my glasses about half the time when I'm working. More so now that I'm home everyday.

I do for driving, distance, etc. I have Rx sunglasses too. Pretty sure I need a new prescription but I love the glasses I have!

I've needed glasses since I was 5! It started out just to see the board, but my eyes progressively got worse and I finally got contact when I was about 25. I wear my glasses in the morning/night but contacts all through the day. I can't see a thing without them!

At night and in the mornings. Or if I'm having a lazy day! I usually put my contacts on before I start work during DD's first nap.

for like 25 years!! I have never worn contacts. Some people tried to pressure me to wear contacts for my wedding, but that seemed ridiculous--they're such a part of how I see myself, I don't even know what I look like without them!

I used to, before I got LASIK. I tried contacts once, but I can't stand anything touching my eyes, so it didn't go very well. I wore glasses full-time for about 15 years.

I've worn contacts since I was 13, but finally got glasses around 22. I hate wearing glasses, they always slide off of my nose and I hate the peripheral blur. But since I work on the computer so much I really have to let my eyes breathe from time to time.
@lilteacherbee: Totally looking into Lasik next year!

Only when I take off my contacts at the end of the night to go to bed, or when I don't wear my contacts at all which is rare.

Yep. I wish I had gotten lasik back before I had a child, when I had money... haha.
