Quote from Xeronia
This is why I'm afraid of contacts, though they would look better than my thin, black frames.
I wasn't thrilled by the idea of sticking bits of plastic in my eyes either, but I've been using them for 22 years now with no problems.
I've tried wearing my glasses now & then (and I've had to wear them a couple times when I got pinkeye from the kids at the daycare where I was working), but for me contacts are much better.
