This is the sole reason I want contacts.
I work around chemicals and the thought of the lens fusing to my eye makes me never want to wear contacts. I have some, but rarely use them.
Being able to see in the rain or snow would be crazy, but I like my glasses as a fashion thing too... Also, I have transition lenses, so there's that. But, I would be able to wear any sunglasses I want... This is too hard.
The cool thing about contacts is you can get glasses without prescription lenses for the look. And then still wear whatever sunglasses, see in the shower, in the pool (if you're into water or whatever). So many options.
Why would I ever want to see in the shower?
Check weiner size? Make sure you use shampoo and not conditioner? I don't know. But it's nice.
Last time I had my eye appointment I asked for both prescriptions (since I guess they are different sometimes). Got a 3 month supply of contacts since I only use them when I go out and maybe go out 3 days a week, and some nice prescription glasses online. Now the real thing I'm after... Lasik. I had transitions for a year or two, but got so tired of wearing them when I was out for the day with friends- walk outside, fine, go in a shop...dark. By the time we're done in the shop they've just started to fade, then back outside and it's too bright... repeat 😵💫 I even paid for the 'quick' transitions.
