I am too chicken to get that done though
I have astigmatism, and have had this problem with my eyes since I was 7 yeasrs old.

I have both contacts and glasses, and I wear my glasses way more than I do the contacts. I cannot work in front of my monitor wearing my contacts. My eyes get very dry, and and I can't see clearly.

I bought the contacts mostly because I play volleyball, and participate in other physical activities. But if I'm not going out, or not playing any sports, I wear my glasses.
