Glasses.
I hate the idea of putting anything in my eyes
My first wife would get this thing about every 3 years or so where a contact would migrate around to the back of her eye. This would then be followed by about an hour of her trying to get it back front-and-center. Just the thought of it is enough to horrify me.
I’ve never really been able to use eye drops and when I’ve tried my eyes would reflexively close. I don’t get how people can handle putting contacts in regularly
Contacts. I can open the dishwasher without being blinded. I can use any safety lenses. I can use any sunglasses I want and even cheapies at the gas station if i need to . They just simplify my life. I’ve never had issues putting them in or having irritation.

I don’t mind wearing contact lenses, but I don’t like having to do it every day when I wake up. And don’t even get me started on having to take off the contact lenses when you get home after partying and drinking.
Laser eye surgery
That’s what I did, although my recommendation would be for people to do it as early as possible. Whenever your eyes stop changing, figure out how to pay for it. A lot of reputable places run good specials from time to time.
My challenge is I got mine basically right before or right as my age related farsightedness started to come in. But on the whole, I’m very happy with it.
People told me that but most places won’t take you before you’re 20 (but it changes, I remember I had to wait 2 years after my last prescription change but was told just 6 months after I had waited those 2 years ofc)
Even getting it done at 20-22 is great. The sooner the better. It’s a life changer
I prefer contacts but wear both contacts and glasses depending on the day. I like the flexibility and overall ease of contacts, but some days I just wear glasses to give my eyes a break. I have astigmatism. Glasses especially have a bending effect around the periphery that’s annoying to deal with that contacts simply don’t have for me.
