What's best for your eyes? I don't want to wear glasses.
Has anyone here had children with developmental delays? What kind of school were you sent to? How is…

I don't like glasses because they fog up in the store and slide down when I'm working on the computer, so lenses are more comfortable for me. But of course, glasses are better sometimes. Once, an eyelash got under my lens, and I scratched the protective layer of my eye (the film) while trying to remove the lens.

For me, it's glasses.
I have 3 (lenses -2.5) and with my lenses, I can't see anything up close. It's hard for me to look at small text, read on my phone, or work. I do all of this without glasses, I take them off right away.

Laser vision correction is best. Or orthokeratology lenses (worn only at night for temporary corneal correction, you see clearly during the day). Or regular lenses.

Vision correction is better. Glasses fog up (which is super annoying) and if worn for too long, the bridge of my nose hurts. And I can't wear contacts at all. Even though they're soft, I can feel them in my eye when I blink. It's like something got into my eye. And my capillaries burst when I wear them.

Anna Pankova I'm afraid of the correction ) I read about the consequences 😅

For me, it's contacts. My vision is very limited in glasses, but I can see everything with contacts. Yes, my eyes can get dry by the end of the day, but there are moisturizing drops. I still haven't gotten used to glasses after 16-17 years. Contacts are truly my salvation.
I don't want to get corrective surgery. I know a few examples of people of different ages whose vision returned. It's not a guarantee it will be the same for me, but I don't want to risk spending 100k for a temporary fix of a couple of years... and that's if the surgery goes well.

Anna Pankova Then, try both glasses and lenses. That way, it'll be easier to figure out what's most comfortable for you.

For me, it's glasses now. I wore contacts for 10 years and got tired of them. Plus, I realized I like myself better in glasses, even if my vision suddenly improved – I'd still wear non-prescription glasses. That's why I'm not getting corrective surgery, and I'm talking my husband out of it too; he doesn't look good without glasses either.

What's the best correction, as people write in the comments? There are also risks, side effects, and consequences. Glasses are better for the eyes.

Tykul Marina I'm also afraid to do it. Like, the risk of going completely blind.

Elena Because of the potential consequences, I'd rather choose glasses or lenses... than risk going blind. It's not a certainty, but there are always risks.

I alternate (with long periods in between) when my vision worsened, I started with glasses. After a few years, I got tired of them and decided to try contacts. After a year or so, I got tired of contacts and went back to glasses, picked out a cool frame, and wore them for a couple of years. Now I've switched back to contacts, but I still wear glasses sometimes, depending on my mood, basically)
Contacts are more convenient in the summer if you wear sunglasses. And in the winter too, it's inconvenient with glasses in the winter. Those hats, and the lenses fog up when you go from the cold into a building.

Tykul Marina I hadn't heard of it until I was almost blind, but I did hear about the gradual return of vision. And honestly, finding a good clinic is also a problem. And having to travel to another city for it, for example, is an extra hassle.

Tykul Marina Yeah, the clinic is still half the battle, but finding a good doctor is key.

I alternate between lenses/glasses
(glasses are very stylish these days)
And if you choose a frame that suits your face, it will look beautiful

Glasses are definitely better for your eyes. I wear glasses, and lenses very rarely because I have dry eye syndrome, which seems incurable((

Ekaterina Oh, and will the doctor say what's best for the eye? And which eyes?

There's some propaganda going around about glasses and lenses, saying they're awful. Like you can't wash with them, can't swim with them, and God forbid sleep in them.
But I've been wearing lenses since I was 15. My vision improved. My eyes haven't fallen out yet 🤔🤣. I sleep, pray, swim in the sea, etc., all in lenses. P.S. I'm 42. Too lazy to count how many years I've been wearing lenses))

Elena What a miracle you're writing!) How are glasses better? To suffer and feel insecure? And what side effects? I had corrective surgery, not a single side effect

Elena So many of my friends have had corrective surgery, and I have too. Two years later, everyone's vision has dropped to minus two. Mine is minus one after a year. Plus, I have constant dry eyes and a blurry spot that ophthalmologists can't see, but it bothers me when I read. Before that, I wore contacts for 15 years, which caused chronic inflammation in my eye, and contacts were banned for me.

Elena I'm glad you don't have any side effects. But you can't rely on just one person's experience. You should discuss potential side effects with your doctor before surgery.

Tykul Marina I've never heard of anyone I know having it done, that you'd be blind. A doctor herself had correction done back in the day. When I had the correction, I saw the world. I never saw the stars, not even with lenses, but here I saw the whole world. I'd rather see everything now, my children, nature, than suffer for so many years, and we'll all be blind in old age anyway.

Katya Same here! I'm 39 though. I've been wearing them since I was 15. My vision started to drop sharply, but as soon as I put in lenses, it's been stable for years. I wear them constantly, everywhere. I've even fallen asleep in them multiple times with my little ones. And my eyes haven't fallen out yet 😄😄😄
