If I ever have trouble with my vision, I’ll wear glasses. The idea of sticking something in my eye just wigs me out completely, to the point where it was just recently that I could watch someone else change their contacts.
However, it’ll probably be a long time before I need anything of the sort. My vision is 20/15 in my “bad” eye. 
I wear my glasses before bed, and when I’m trying to look smart. Any other time, I’ve got my contacts in.
My husband has to find them frequently as I never put them in the same place twice. I don’t always take them off before I go to sleep and instead, take them off while sleeping. As a result they are horribly misshapen. I had them straitened once and they felt weird and gave me a headache until they became crooked again!
I used to wear contacts in Jr. high and High school, but when I got to college, my sleeping patterns became too erratic and I abraided my cornias with them.
Contacts, so a half-point for me.
Although I still wear my glasses in bed and when i’m lazy.
Mine are just like that - except they have a thicker plastic frame, and the frames also contain lime green and aqua blue, so when you look at me from different angles, you catch different colors.
I love them, but I still primarily wear contacts. However, I do wear them to work when I have a late night, because the smoke in bars and clubs is so heavy, and because it hurts my eyes to wear contacts on 3 hours of sleep.
It’s bizarre, though, because people compliment me when I wear them, but they make my eyes look smaller and I just can’t get used to my face with them on. I would never wear them to a club or a bar or on a date, but until I leave the house for the day, I wear the glasses.
Both my wife and I wear glasses, although she wears contacts around 80% of the time. She has worn glasses most of her life and switched to contacts about four years ago. I started wearing them a little over three years ago due to a mild astigmatism.
I only have two pair:
I love my glasses (even if it’s a pain to have to wear them) and will keep these frames when I have to replace the lenses. I also plan to get a cheap back up pair.
3 pair.
Sunglasses with gradiated shading, heavy frames. I wear these motorcycle riding, but plan on replacing them with prescription goggles.
Tortoiseshell regular glasses. I lost these for awhile, had left them on a tree limb, while doing yard work. So, I replaced them with…
Wire frame granny glasses. These have now taken a walk somewhere, and are not to be found in this house.
I’ll search the yard and vehicles tomorrow.
I used to wear my hair in a bun, but I got tired of the ketchup and pickles dripping on my neck…

I have 1 set of glasses that I wear whenever I’m awake.
I always have only one pair. I will wear this pair till it is completly un-wearable. I think this stems from me having a hard time spending money on myself. I’m the same way with tenny shoes. Unless both feet have the toes poking out I’m not ready for a new pair.
I’ve been wearing glasses since 3rd grade.
1 pair - wire rims with tortoise shell bows.
Side note: I’d like to add that when I see a good looking man wearing small wire rim glasses I can’t be held responsible for my actions Pant Pant
I’ve been wearing glasses since 4th grade (almost 30 years). I have gold wire frames with the flexible hinges (a life-saver since my 7-month old loves to grab my glasses and yank them off my face) and prescription sunglasses.
I did the contacts thing for a while, but I got conjunctivitis and then, when that cleared up, contacts just dried out too fast.
I like them, except when it rains and when they fog up. If I put them down somewhere and walk away (like that would ever happen) I wouldn’t be able to find them without help.
Glasses since the age of five. My first pair ostensibly had specal neato a-truck-could-drive-over-these unscratchable lenses. I went home, fell off my bike, and scratched them.
My mother was not pleased.
I tried contacts for a while, but my eyes are too sensitive, so I’m stuck.
Two pairs. One regular pair and one pair of sunglasses. Both small with wire rims.
I used to have a frameless pair where the arms and nose piece were drilled directly into the lens. The lenses were rose-colored. Nice glasses. Lost them somewhere on Santorini while stumbling about in an ouzo drenched stupor…I think of them often.
I also wanted to say that I find women who wear glasses very attractive.
I usually wear my glasses on the weekends and my contacts during the week. (I have PT in the mornings, and I hate working out with glasses on, they fog up…so I just keep my contacts in all day).
I personally think I look better without them, but I’ve had some women who tell me they prefer me in glasses, and others who prefer me without them.

I wore glasses from age 6 to 14, when I blessedly got contacts. Now I dread contact mishaps or pinkeye, as my glasses make my eyes look tiny and pulled in from the sides, and no peripheral vision sucks.

I just saw “Not Another Teen Movie”: The hunchback? The conjoined twins? I could make them prom queen. But look at her: she wearing GLASSES! and a PONYTAIL!
Another glasses-wearer here. I also tried contacts, but my eyes were too dry all the time.
The best part of my current pair of glasses is the snap-on sunglasses. Basically a clip-on, in that it’s a thin frame with tinted lenses that sits in front of the regular lenses, but instead of clipping, it’s attached with little magnets. That means I can put on and remove the sunglasses piece one-handed. Way convenient.
And my wife wears glasses too. We’re an eight-eyed marriage…
raises his hand I wear glasses here. Have been asked why I do not wear contacts several times before. My answer: I do not like the idea of poking myself in the eye.
Also, have had my current pair of glasses for about a year now. That’s as long as I’ve known my girlfriend. And yet, she says I don’t look like me with them.
