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. ## 1. I Can See My Eyes! _ Photo Credit: Netfalls_ 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. ## 2. I Can See, Actually… ![I Can See, Actually…](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/11/7-reasons-i-love-contact-lenses/i-can-see-actually_7-reasons-i-love-contact-lenses_500x333.jpg) Photo Credit: [SisterSpeak Online Mag](https://www.flickr.com/photos/sisterspeakonline/2498074719/) 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. ## 3. They Come in Cool Colors ![They Come in Cool Colors](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/11/7-reasons-i-love-contact-lenses/they-come-in-cool-colors_7-reasons-i-love-contact-lenses_500x334.jpg) Photo Credit: [Finstr](https://www.flickr.com/photos/finsterbaby/3674631922/) 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! ## 4. The Effects ![The Effects](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/11/7-reasons-i-love-contact-lenses/the-effects_7-reasons-i-love-contact-lenses_500x332.jpg) Photo Credit: [Eyes Bright](https://www.flickr.com/photos/eyesbrightuk/5017775887/) 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! ## 5. They’re Convenient Nowadays _ Photo Credit: [G]hostdog_ 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. ## 6. They’re Portable ![They’re Portable](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/11/7-reasons-i-love-contact-lenses/theyre-portable_7-reasons-i-love-contact-lenses_500x333.jpg) Photo Credit: [whynotjoe](https://www.flickr.com/photos/39197771@N05/3605500696/) 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. ## 7. They Make Them for Almost Everyone ![They Make Them for Almost Everyone](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/11/7-reasons-i-love-contact-lenses/they-make-them-for-almost-everyone_7-reasons-i-love-contact-lenses_500x334.jpg) Photo Credit: [mirefugio20](https://www.flickr.com/photos/mirefugio20/2092133384/) 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.
