I was in the midst of switching from my sunglasses to my regular glasses while I dashed into work yesterday when the guard stopped me to ask for my badge. Later, the guard remarked that she had not recognized me because I'm like Clark Kent and look quite different without my glasses. She is not the first to make this comment as evidenced by a previous post.
Now I've tried to deny that I'm a vain person but if you've ever seen me get ready in the morning, you know I have an assortment of products and a regiment to beautify myself. I am finally willing to admit that I want to look my best and may be a little vain.
I have my annual eye appointment in the coming weeks and am debating once again trying contacts. I have not had the best of luck since I take daily allergy medication which can cause dry eyes. At the same time, my allergy issues have been causing severe swelling which has created problems with my glasses. A few years ago, I bounced between glasses and contacts but finally decided to switch back to glasses because of the meds for the bladder injury which I no longer take.
I pay for new lenses every year since my prescription changes annually so cost is not necessarily a factor in this decision because I'm always having to buy new lenses for both my glasses and sunglasses. It truly comes down to vanity. I know several of you have struggled with switching back and forth between glasses and contacts. What do you think? Should I give it another go? Or will it confuse too many people since obviously, I'm Superman and unrecognizable without my glasses?

you could forget both and have laser surgery. I'm used to you in glasses, but it's up to you.
I usually wear my contacts but lately I have started to get lazy and just throw on my glasses. But I think you should have both. That way you can wear whatever suits your mood. :)
I agree with Sarai. Get both. If the contacts work, great! (Helps with the sunglasses thing, 'cause you don't have to switch, just throw on a pair.) But on those days when your eyes are dry or tired, pop on the glasses. By the way, you are lucky that you look so attractive in glasses.
