Default Glasses or Contacts?

which do you wear?

as of last night, i wear both h: contacts feel weird. i got the daily disposable ones. it was a pain to get the left one in. my right one went in on my second try, but took me another 5 mins to get that sucker in my left eye. it hurt

after a while you will get used to them and won't even notice them and will be able to put them back in when they're dry as hell and you have no solution...I forgot about mine completly for almost a week before I took them out.

doctor specifically told me not to wear these bad boys to sleep. not a problem for me. i actually like taking the contacts out. i even practiced putting them in last night h:

If you wear those contacts to sleep, you'll get protein build up, over time, the risk of getting an eye infection rises h: Plus it's hard to blink if you ever do and they stick to your eye, I know :hs:
