When you have to choose between wearing glasses or contact lenses, a lot of factors go into making the right decision. Ultimately, it comes down to your personal preference as well as your lifestyle. If you are considering either of these options, contact Leroy Vaughn, MD in Inglewood to schedule an appointment with our ophthalmologist. We will answer your questions and walk you through the process of getting your new glasses or contacts.

Contact Lenses

If you have put in a contact lens, you may have noticed that it is difficult at first but soon becomes routine. For those who get used to it and find it easy to insert and remove a contact lens, they often choose this method of vision correction because it is easy. For most people, there is no need to clean their contacts during the day or check on them. They will just stay in place and help you see better all day. For many contact lens wearers, they are easier than glasses because there is no maintenance needed throughout the day. For people who play sports, contacts can be the better choice, as they won't fall off due to rapid movements.

Glasses

For some of our patients, glasses are the choice that seems to make the most sense. They do need to be cleaned periodically, but they are easy to put on and take off at a moment’s notice. No special skills or practice is needed. Many people choose glasses because they like the way they look. They can be a fun fashion accessory and can help balance the look of their face. For others, they choose glasses because they don't want to have to touch their eyes.
