Pros & Cons: Glasses
It's time to talk about the benefits of wearing a pair of glasses. First and foremost, you don't have to touch your eyeballs. This lowers your chance of contracting painful and uncomfortable eye infections. What else? Glasses give you an opportunity to express yourself! They're worn directly on your face after all, and serve as an extension of your personal style.
And the cons? Since glasses are increasingly crafted with technology more advanced than ever, they can be costly. It's also not always convenient to have glasses on your face, and there are sports that don't yet have a perfect solution for this.
Pros & Cons: Contacts
Contact lenses are a great option if you prefer how your face looks without glasses. They also don't fog up or scratch like their counterpart, and you don't have lenses to clean.
When it comes to the cons of choosing contact lenses, many people start off a bit squeamish about directly touching their eyes, and it does increase your chance of eye infections. While you typically have one or two pairs of glasses, you have to replace your contacts frequently, purchase solution to disinfect them, and renew your prescription at least once a year. Even with proper care contact lenses can be uncomfortable and dry out your eyes, and they aren't compatible with certain types of vision correction.
