I have contacts but wear specs almost exclusively...
I shudder whenever an optician suggests them :nervous:
I didn't say i was moderatly astigmatic i said i think i was getting more astigmatic and at the moment its not a problem so by getting more i'd be getting a slight astigmatism and i do feel them have something suctioned to your eye isn't exactly comfortable.
I do have glasses though, which are supposed to help with my eyes' lack of inclination to focus properly. It's not like they can't focus, they can, but they like to drift in and out, and I have to concentrate to make things stay in focus. I'm supposed to do focusing exercises too, but I lapsed a bit, and now I'm kind of used to everything being like it is. I don't even know where my glasses are.
I should probably go for a checkup.
I am myopic, got 4 dioptres on my right and 3 dio on my left eye.
Will probably get contact lenses this summer, even tho I am not unhappy with my glasses (maybe a little bit).
So far 3 people said I look a little bit better without glasses and only one that I got the typical "glasses-face" (when you can totally tell if someone wears glasses, if he's not wearing at the moment you look at him/her), this boosts me a bit in my decision.
Furthermore am I thinking about getting laser eye surgery so my eyeview will be perfect again (and stay that way!)
/edit:
I got my smashed armani frame (soccer), i got it duct taped together as replacement.
Then I got the Eschenbach desginerglasses I have now. they were fairly expensive but are made out of Titanium and are almost indestructible (you can bend the frame to a ball and it bends back together again), the glas itself is super scratch-resistant and got the best reflective coating. I got an excellent optician who grinds the glasses himself in the back of this shop, so you have to wait just ~2-3 days for your glasses). He practically measures EVERYTHING on your face to make the glasses really fit well, plus he makes you an awesome price.
The glasses I wear now (Eschenbach) are pretty stylish, the glasses are just as high as my thumb is broad. Looks better than my old, because I am a slim person.
The last glasses I got are my optical sunglasses for about 20€ it was a special discount (of course they are adjusted to my eyesight!), they look like the Agent Smith glasses from Matrix, so that's cool too.

Gas permeable's are rigid - they're not soft and floppy like daily disposables, but they're like hard plastic... Try having a piece of hard plastic shoved under your eyelid

That's not entierely true. My optician (an expert for glasses AND lenses [both examinations for the degree of master]), suggested me monthly lenses. you can wear them 30 days (dont have to be consecutive 30 days), but they are gas permeable and actually fitted onto your eye! not like the day lenses, where you have to be lucky to have the right eyeball-measurement so they fit perfectly.
