- Poking your eye gets less gross over time…but it’s still always a bit gross.
- At some point in time, there was a revolution in the contact lens solution world, and the tyranny of rubbing was overthrown. Since then, it is heresy to even think of rubbing your lenses. The king is dead, long live the king.
- When a contact falls out, everything has to stop, and everybody has to slowly get on their hands and knees and crawl around on the floor.
- Playing sports with contacts is way better than playing with glasses. But a contact lens can still get bonked out of your eye with enough force.
- My eyes look more blue with contact lenses.
- Waking up with contacts still in can double, and even triple, the amount of goo in your eyes.
- Contacts make you feel like a “normal person”…I’m always aware of wearing glasses. That being said, glasses can be really funky.

GET LASER EYE SURGERY. It will change your life, as it did mine. Worth the money and it’s painless!

I like everything about this comment, K-Fung!! That being said…glasses can still be sweet sometimes. I like that I can just take them off and put them on a nightstand, and I like how they frame my face.
I’ve always had 20/20 vision but when I was in my early 20’s I bought a pair of glasses with 0 magnification lenses because I had determined that people look hotter with the right frames. I don’t even remember how or where I lost them, but I miss those glasses.
