I used to prefer contacts over glasses unless I was water skiing. After I got LASIK, I prefer neither.
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.
Like it goes under the eyelid? That is quite terrifying to look at, but it can’t go all the way behind the eye because of the way the eye is structured. It stops like at the top of the eye.
I got PRK a while ago, but I vastly preferred contacts. My eyes were terrible, and one was much worse than the other. My depth perception was noticably worse with glasses, and the lack of peripheral vision, especially while moving, tended to make me nauseous. I wore contacts almost every day from 7th grade through a year after graduating college.

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)
I feel like my eyes were still changing in my 20s. Maybe late 20s would be solid.
Even getting it done at 20-22 is great. The sooner the better. It’s a life changer

I prefer progressive lenses when working (mostly at a computer) and contacts when I’m off work and out and about in the world.
I don’t want a foreign object inside of me, so I’ll stick with the glasses.
Contacts. They don’t fog up and I don’t have to worry to loose them mountainbiking, while in a moshpit, etc.
Still have some glasses at home for late night gaming sessions when the eyes get tired/dry
Glasses. They make me look better and don’t feel weird.
Yeah. Genuinely like how they look, and they’re relatively convenient. I do have the option of contacts but just kinda prefer glasses
Glasses.
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.
Contacts. Peripheral vision is amazing. I’ve never had problems putting them in. Wind does make them dry but I carry eye drops. And I don’t even notice they are there. It’s like I don’t have vision problems. I love them.
I prefer glasses over contacts because I hate anything to come closer to my eyes.
