Contacts v. Glasses




This morning, I was running late, so I saved myself some time and I just wore my glasses. Now, not everyone knows I wear contacts, since it's not exactly something you tell someone just out of the blue. So anyway, I had to explain to maybe a dozen people that I wear contacts most days. This lead a few of my fellow contact-wearing students to want to coordinate a special glasses-wearing day, where all of the secret contact wearers in school would wear their glasses.

Then I began to consider which was better, wearing glasses or wearing contacts (even though I should be considering the arguments of the anti-federalists against the federalists).

Glasses:
+Easy to put on
+Make you look studious
+Comfortable
-Break or crack easily
-Target of hateful comments
-Fall off on a rollercoaster

Contacts:
+Nearly Invisible
+Smaller storage
+Can be worn with sunglasses
-Require lots of care
-Can be torn by a fingernail
-Can irritate the eye

Any pros or cons you'd like to add? I'd love to hear 'em.
