Reasons why glasses are better than contact lenses

Contact lenses can cause eye irritation and burning because they rest on your eyeballs. Glasses sit on the top of your nose and face so they don't touch your skin or come into direct contact with anything around them.

Some reasons why spectacles in Sri Lanka are better than contact lenses include:

• Glasses don't dry out your eyes like contact lenses do.
• Contact lenses can cause eye irritation and burning.
• Glasses are better for people who wear glasses, contacts are not good to be worn with another pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses.
• Glasses can also protect your eyes from flying debris and dust.
• Glasses are better for activities that require depth perception, because they sit on top of your nose and face so they don't touch your skin or come into direct contact with anything around them.
• Glasses can be worn by people who have had eye surgery, contacts cannot be used in this case.
• Contact lenses are more likely to get lost than glasses.
• You need to properly clean both contact lenses before wearing again.
• The material that is used in the making of prescription glass frames does not irritate skin as easily as soft plastic lens materials found in disposable contact lenses.

Contrary to popular belief, glasses also make you look more attractive than contacts which is another reason why so many people prefer wearing them over using contacts. Just think of all the celebrities you've seen on TV or out in public wearing glasses. They're everywhere. It is rare that you see someone famous without their signature specs sitting atop their nose. Celebrities have made it cool to be geeky again, but not just any kind of geek, stylish ones. This trend has seen many people even wearing fake eye glasses simply for aesthetic purposes.

Glasses also come in a variety of styles and colours that you won't find with contacts. You can get spectacles online in Sri Lanka that work for any occasion, whether it's an elegant night out on the town or something as casual as going to watch your favourite hockey team play at home.
