Wouldn't you rather wear contact lenses than glasses?

Do you wear glasses? If so, you may not realize what contact lenses, and especially corneal GP contact lenses, can offer you. Here's a comparison chart to help you decide which vision option is best for you. (Many people choose both!)

Eyeglasses

Contact Lenses


The distance between your eye and the lens sometimes creates distortion.


Worn right on the eye, for more natural vision.


Poor peripheral (side) vision.


Your entire field of view is in focus. This is especially important in sports and in driving, where you need to see as much around you as possible.


Constant awareness of frame and lens edge, as well as reflections off the backside of the lens.


With contact lenses, no annoying obstructions or reflections are in view.


Uncomfortable weight on your face and ears. Periodic need for tightening or other adjustment.


No weight and resulting discomfort. No frame constantly slipping down your nose.


Glasses fog up with changes in temperature.


Contact lenses don't fog up.


Glasses are a distraction during games and sports.


No distractions, which makes contact lenses a favorite among athletes.


Fashionable and inexpensive non-prescription sunglasses are not an option if you wear eyeglasses.


A whole wardrobe of fashionable, functional, affordable sunglasses is available to contact lens wearers.


Glasses are a distraction during games and sports.


Contact lenses match everything you wear.


Eyeglasses are annoying to wear in rain or snow.


Contact lenses won't collect precipitation and blur your vision.


Glasses are an unnatural, distracting barrier between your eyes and the world.


Contact lenses don't detract from your natural appearance; they let people see your eyes.
