It can be tricky when you need correction for your vision and you have a choice between contact lenses and glasses. Which one is best? They are both great for vision correction, so the decision often comes down to your lifestyle. If you need to see an optometrist and live in or around Lafayette, contact Lamorinda Optometry to schedule an appointment with one of our eye doctors.

Glasses and Convenience

Many people don't want to have to touch their eyes to put a contact lens in, and this makes the decision to choose glasses much easier. It is common for the convenience of glasses to be a major influence over the choice as well. They are incredibly simple to put on and remove, and this allows for a high level of convenience. If you are a person who loves to fall asleep in front of the TV, you can do that in glasses but not with contact lenses. If you travel a lot and may want a nap along the way, glasses are generally more convenient than contact lenses.

Being Active With Contact Lenses

When you put in a contact lens, it is in for good until you take it out. That is why so many people who live active lifestyles appreciate their contact lenses. They cannot be knocked off like glasses while playing sports. They will also not get foggy when you work out. If you are constantly on the go, you may not want to take the time to clean your glasses several times per day and might like contact lenses better. Once they are in, you don't have to worry about them at all until it is time for bed.
