…that is the question. For the past 7 years I’ve been wearing glasses. It started off having to only wear them because I couldn’t see that far, but in the past 2 years, I wear them all the time. I’m a proud wearer of specs and own several trendy pairs of glasses – Vera Wang, Coach, and now Prada (note the image – this is the exact design, except my frame is black with pewter). 
Last week at Lenscrafters (LC), I decided to be brave and told my optometrist that I wanted to try contacts. So within my appointment, I got every eye test possibly done, my pupils dilated, and I was trained on putting in and taking out contacts. My optometrist has my on a trial basis using Dailies – she doesn’t really want me wearing contacts for more than 2-3 hours in a day because I have pterygium and astigmatism - she believes wearing contacts will irritate my eyes and dry them out (more so to do with pterygium). When I was at LC, they taught me how to put the contacts in and take it – funny enough when I was there, I had no problems putting them or taking them out.
5 days later, all I can say is that I don’t think contact life is for me. I had so much trouble putting them in and taking them out that I pinched my left eye yesterday! Double-OUCH! My eye immediately flared up and it was quite scary (thank goodness I had a personal day and was at home when this happened) – I don’t think anyone at work would’ve liked listening to the inappropriate words coming from my mouth.
So, I’m giving up – after a 1-week trial, I’ve decided that I’m not vain enough to want to wear contacts (please don’t mistake that I think others are vain that wear contacts, but in my case, I did want contacts because of vanity). I will be a proud wearer of glasses – besides, I look fab in them!
