    Im just wondering if glasses or lenses should be the solution.

    I was at the shop, and they recommended lences for my age(15).

    Im a guy who dosent sit on the PC all day. Active, but not TOO active.
    Iv got -1.25 on both eyes

    i havent got problems on wearing glasses or lenses.

    but i ask you guys.

    What do you prefer? Where i live the cost is roughly the same for glasses or lenses.

    3 years of lenses = 1 pear of glasses

    Suggestions?

    if by active you mean play sports then get lenses. but lenses need maintainance. wash it everyday. if you dont, you get some sort of infection or something and might go blind. if you're too lazy or easily forget to clean your lenses, get glasses.

    haha

    I wear glasses - i Dont want to touch lenses :)

    Got some designer glasses and they rock - Clipon shades everything so thats a plus if u wana wear shades and glasses at same time

    However If u are active - Then get lenses - Even I am active but I wear glasses there or sometimes take it off coz they cost too much :)

    Well never wore lenses so ... :)

    I wear glasses. When i went to make my first pair, i really wanted lenses so that no one would notice, but the doctor told me that i can only wear them after i'm 18 (being 17 at the moment) because the dioptrys will keep on changing. So before you go and buy lenses, i suggest you ask if you can wear them at this age.
    Glasses are cool because they can really improve your look.
    Lenses are kinda hard to clean everyday and are also a lot more expensive then glasses (or so i heard), but if you get disposable ones, then it's ok.

    The doctor told me that by the age of 18 the dioptrys will stop changing. So if i were to get them when i went to make my first pair (at the age of 15 or 16) i would have to change them quite often (had to get a new pair (not disposable lens_ every 3 months i think) and seeing how they were a little expensive, i chose glasses.
    Dunno, just saying what the doctor told me
