I went in today, and the eye doc suggested we play with the prescription until we’re at least get that right, and work on comfort too. I got another pair of contacts to try but can’t see my computer monitors in them ha! I’ll keep trying, but most likely wear my glasses most of the time. I’m eager for them to arrive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion/page/2#post-2145096 Mon, 21 Sep 2020 04:47:25 +0000 LAR101 2145096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to see you!!&nbsp; &nbsp;Love #2, so glad you went for it.<br />I love having both contacts and glasses.&nbsp; My eyes have never been sore with soft contacts, not once.&nbsp; Perhaps call the shop and ask about the sore eyes.&nbsp; Perhaps something is off or you are better suited to a different type of contact. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144936 Sat, 19 Sep 2020 18:50:06 +0000 lyn67 2144936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is going softer colors in eyewear the curent trend or we just crave it after wearing bolder ones, for years? Love nr 2-get it-and great to see you, Amiable!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144627 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 16:03:20 +0000 Anonymous 2144627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 more than your current ones too- get! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144625 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 16:00:52 +0000 Star (Lise) 2144625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new frames really suit you.&nbsp; I wear glasses and contacts equally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144367 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 13:39:56 +0000 The Cat 2144367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't read all the comments, but my vote goes to #2. And wow, you look younger and chicer in that pic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144355 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 13:07:14 +0000 Windchime 2144355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m late seeing this but am glad you bought #2, which look great on you. &nbsp;I’ve never worn contacts so can’t advise about those. &nbsp;But I wanted to also say how beautiful your hairstyle is in #2; it’s so pretty and extremely flattering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144317 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 03:32:10 +0000 Suz 2144317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Contacts take getting used to, but as Gigi said, they don't fog up, you have better peripheral vision, and you don't cry as much when you are cutting onions. Plus, no prescription sunnies!</p> <p>(But, like Shevia, I eventually had surgery and now have a version of permanent contacts, which I must admit are a lot easier.)&nbsp;</p> <p>You look good with no specs, by the way.&nbsp;</p> <p>But also in the specs! I like the new contenders a lot. Are they fitting properly over the bridge of your nose? Do they feel like they are perching too high or will slide down? In my experience that bridge measurement is key to long term comfort.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144315 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 03:26:32 +0000 Gigi 2144315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving #2!&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear contacts most of the time, and I like them much more than glasses. They don't fog up in the winter, and I can wear whatever sunglasses I like in the summer (no need for prescription sunnies). If you aren't getting anywhere with the contacts, call your doc back, because they might have other ideas for how to make the contacts more comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144305 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 02:17:47 +0000 Jaime 2144305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with #2. Contacts require a level of motivation that I lost in my 30s. (Laser eye surgery saved me from bifocals, but that is another can of worms.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144300 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 01:39:18 +0000 Karie 2144300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to wear contacts all the time but for the past 10 years or so they make my eyes dry out and have been very uncomfortable, so it’s glasses for me. #2 fits great and looks fantastic on you, so I say stop looking and buy those! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144299 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 00:49:31 +0000 Jenni NZ 2144299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for you. I only wore contacts from about age 25-30. Stopped when breastfeeding my first baby as glasses were so much easier to put on and off. Since I’ll be 60 next year that’s another almost 30 years of specs! I hope the contacts become more comfy because it seems nice to have a choice.<br /> Hope you really enjoy the new specs x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144298 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 00:40:27 +0000 amiable 2144298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, the glasses are ordered!&nbsp; Thank you so much for your input.</p> <p>The contacts I'm trying are just soft lenses - one with astigmatism correction, the other didn't need it.&nbsp; But my eyes are quite sore with them, and they're difficult for me to get in and out.&nbsp; We'll see if I like them better after a few more days, but I'm excited about the new glasses coming! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144293 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 23:21:09 +0000 CarolS 2144293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed that the top contender is fab -- fits well and suits your face. Wearing contacts is very liberating, too, if you decide you like them. The idea of having both glasses and contacts is not a bad one to get the best of both worlds... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144280 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 21:38:20 +0000 NancyW 2144280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! More delicate version of your current glasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144276 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 21:20:11 +0000 Staysfit 2144276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the possible new frame! &nbsp;I vote yes! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144275 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 21:11:31 +0000 Jenni NZ 2144275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Contender number 2 hands down. Having replaced 4 year old frames myself earlier this year it’s a wonderful feeling when the new ones look better than the old. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144273 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 20:56:09 +0000 Tina 2144273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your choice for new frames. I don't think I'll ever switch to contacts as I like the way glasses look on my face. Contacts would have one big benefit though, since it appears we'll still be masking up for awhile -- NO FOGGY GLASSES </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144272 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 20:54:13 +0000 PaulaF 2144272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving #2 on you! Very flattering and cute! If you can, get the contacts as well...they make life easier in many ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144265 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 19:32:32 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2144265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another big yes vote here, for the new contenders! When I wore contacts, I also had glasses. If the contacts become comfortable by the end of the trial week, maybe you could use both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144256 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 18:56:00 +0000 rachylou 2144256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new are fantastic!!! </p> <p>What kind of contacts are you trying? I love contacts. Make things like bike and horse riding easier. I have to have a different prescription for contacts than for glasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144255 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 18:54:45 +0000 Anonymous 2144255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much better fit and follows the contours of your face so much better than the previous, significantly more flattering overall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144253 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 18:45:29 +0000 nemosmom 2144253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 looks a bit too wide. #2 is a winner and a great color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144249 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 18:28:41 +0000 Elle 2144249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #2.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144248 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 18:21:35 +0000 JAileen 2144248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your proposed new pair really look good on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-opinion#post-2144244 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 17:55:06 +0000 JamC 2144244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree.

The new pair look really good to me.

The slightly more delicate look and interesting color of frames is very becoming on you. </p>
