I've had glasses since Grade 7. It's a pain in the ass and the nose piece always bothers me. Not to mention it clogs my pores in the areas where my glasses frames/nosepiece touch my face. I had contacts for about a year. I liked the peripheral vision, but since I have astigmatism, they slid around a lot. Not to mention, I couldn't stand any little piece of dust being in my eye, so I'd always be putting my finger in there trying to get out eye goo or dust/particles. I will hopefully get laser eye surgery, then I can have freedom from annoyance and perfect or near perfect vision. I'm nearsighted, but I think I will also need bifocals. My vision has deteriorated steadily since I got glasses. Whether I use glasses, contacts, or nothing at all, it always gets worse.
