hi I'm new here in this forum. Is it okay for me to keep wearing glasses instead of trying eye contacts?

I never try to wear contacts, me and sister have been wearing glasses since a long time ago but lately my sis becomes insecure again about wearing glasses. She says something like "For once I want to enjoy youth by not wearing glasses, I will buy eye contacts soon." Good for her because she can wear contacts, while me? 🫣 I can't.. But I understand there's a point of view of seeing glasses as unattractive.. there are so many movies or comics about people with glasses turning attractive after they wear eye contacts.  I think I'll never wear eye contacts like ever .. I'm more comfortable with glasses, but are glasses  really unattractive? 🥲 Just want to share my overthinking here, thanks in advance..

If you feel more comfortable in glasses, then wear them.

You are beautiful as you are.

Never let anyone person tell you otherwise and most especially not a man 💕💖

As someone who wears glasses full-time, do what is best for your health, which includes your eyesight. If you feel that wearing glasses makes you feel beautiful and healthy, then those are the steps you should follow. Wearing contacts is not for everyone, and that is okay. Others will always have something negative to say when confidence is being shown authentically. <3

When you feel comfortable and can see yourself clearly , that is the best choice for yourself. If your eyes feel dry, itchy or you have a history of ulcers, avoid contact lenses.

Specs: They have less risk of infection.

For daily normal use: glasses are safer and healthier.

If you want to look more presentable for a special occasion without wearing glasses, contact lenses are fine.

But finally, the choice is yours.

If you choose contact lenses, don’t forget about proper hygiene.

@KindHero24 hello, thank you so much for hearing my story and giving me this advice. I will continue to wear glasses because I'm not brave enough to wear contact lenses. Glasses are simpler for me 🤗💖
