In terms of wearing glasses and contact lenses, it’s probably good to break each of them up a little and wear both intermittently. The main differences are cosmetic, although there are underlying variants that affect the eye itself.

Aesthetically, if you’re incredibly short-sighted, you may not want to opt for glasses, as they will tend to have thick lenses, which will distort your appearance, making your eyes appear a lot smaller than they actually are. Contacts don’t fog up; and in summer months, they won’t feel uncomfortable on your face.

Glasses can add a certain air of intellectual integrity sure, and can be a chic accessory to many an outfit and they are now treated as fashionable extras in the pages of glossy fashion magazines.
However, whilst glasses are pretty easy to wear, for the most part, the practicality of contacts suggests that they are the better option. That said, contact lenses do need to be taken care of, particularly because they can dry your eyes and need to be changed fairly frequently: never go to sleep with your contacts in for instance. Also, dust and dirt can find their way underneath your contacts and irritate your eyes, which is something you need to pay attention to as a wearer. Lenses can also discolour and dry out in winds.

The key to wearing contacts again – considering their huge practicality – is to make sure you take excellent care of your eyes. Treating them to soothing and cooling pads and creams can make a real difference. There’s the old tried-and-tested natural formula of cucumber slices to soothe laboured and tired eyes; and Aloe Vera is a good cooling gel.

Places like Vision Direct have soft-gel contact lenses, which are kind on the eye and some accompanying treats like cucumber pads and eye drops. And if you want to chop and change with glasses try David Clulow for some highly trendy designs from the catwalk.
