I started wearing glasses when I was seven, and I’ll never forget the first time I put them on. The trees! They weren’t just green amorphous blobs! They had leaves! My next vision-related epiphany came many years later, the first time I wore contacts. My eyes! They were green! And when I wasn’t wearing my thick, ugly glasses, other people could see them! Since that wonderful day, I’ve worn contacts nearly constantly, and glasses only occasionally. I love my contacts, and here’s why.

I hated wearing my glasses because no-one could see my eyes, which are actually quite pretty. Now that I wear contacts, I’m always getting compliments on my bright green eyes.
Honestly, contact lenses give you so much freedom. No more foggy glasses or slipping frames! You can see clearly without anyone even knowing you're wearing them.
Definitely! At first, they might seem tricky to handle, but once you get the hang of it, they become part of your routine. It’s worth it for the freedom and comfort!
For me, it's how they boost confidence. Without glasses, I feel more myself, and it’s also amazing to freely wear fun sunglasses whenever I want!
Oh, for sure! With the right lenses and proper care, I sometimes forget I'm even wearing them. They can be super comfy!
Well, they don't fog up or get in the way during activities, and they give you a full field of vision without the frames blocking the sides. It's a whole new way to see the world!

I feel like I can see better with my contacts in, rather than when I’m wearing my glasses. This is especially true for m peripheral vision. And they don’t get smudged or dirty like glasses, either.

Have you ever wondered how you would look with blue or violet or green eyes instead of brown? I know I’ve always wanted to try violet Elizabeth Taylor eyes for a change, and with special contacts, you can!

My friend Shannon went as a cat for Halloween this year, and she bought these amazing topaz-colored cat-eye contacts to complete her look. They were so realistic, she won the costume contest. There are lots of other special-effect lenses, too, from pure black with no iris color, to red (for vampires or werewolves). Cool!

My first contact lenses were hard, not soft, and they could only be worn for a few hours at a time. Cleaning them was a chore, and to take them out and put them in required ten minutes and a tiny plunger device. Yikes! Contacts are a lot more convenient these days, and some are disposables that are only meant to be worn one day, then tossed.

Traveling with glasses isn’t convenient. You have to port along the cases, a cleaner spray, and a non-scratch cloth. With contacts, you just need your tiny case and a tiny bottle of drops, both of which can squeeze into your make-up bag or purse with no hassle.

I have a severe astigmatism in one eye, and my mother wears bifocals, but they make contact lenses for both of us! No matter what your prescription or special need, chances are, there’s a contact lens that will work for you.
