Are you wearing them the day of? i was thinking of contacts but 2 things are stopping me
1) my eyes are always itchy from allergies 2) I dont know if I would be able to put them in and out- I have a hard time with eye drops.
If I dont wear them I can't see anything and I want to see FH as I am walking down the aisle.
Also my glasses are transition lens and they will be dark coming from outside into the church
Help!! What do i do?????

Re: Girls with glasses
I wear glasses on lazy days, contacts on not so lazy days.... If the contacts are gonna bother u, I'd say just wear ure glasses. Since they're transition lens' maybe u can get a cheap pair or get a decent pair to have in case and u can wear it the day of.... Ooorrrrr try the contacts and try to get used to them before the wedding if u can...

I am afraid that if I spend the money for contacts and never use them- I would be mad at myself. But thats a good idea about getting a differnt pair of glasses to wear the day of. hmmmmm-I may do that Thank you Tamar!!

i wear glasses most of the time because my contacts really bother my eyes. i refuse to wear my glasses for my wedding just because i hate how i look in pictures with glasses. i would wear my contacts but they will def. make my eye make up run. i am determined to figure out a way to get and pay for lasik before i get married.

Re: Girls with glasses
When I went for my e-pics we took them in the studio and I took off my glasses for that- I got up started walking and knocked over the photographers equipment. I didnt see it
I am so afraid that I will do that at my wedding too!

Re: Girls with glasses
Maybe you just need to find the right pair of contracts - or just get a different pair of glasses if that makes you more comfortable.

generally, the eye doctor (or at least mine does) gives you a trial pair to use for a few days to see how they feel. then you decide if you want to purchase that brand. i just know for myself personally that i have a problem with contacts in general. i have tried so many different brands it is ridiculous!

I don't see why not - you will, in all likelihood, still probably have to go to the eye dr or contact lens place to have them fitted - If they are uncomfortable, I don't see why you couldn't try a different manufacturer.

Re: Girls with glasses
I am having the same problem - I have to wear my glasses - there is no getting around that. Mine are transitional so, they will be dark in a lot of pictures. I know I won't be happy about that.
I need to figure out something to do about this.

Re: Girls with glasses
I have horrible vision so I wear contacts 90% of the time..I have the same prob where I get really bad allergies so it actually took a few diff contact trials to get the right ones for me. Your eye doctor should be able to let you try a few diff types until you find ones that are comfortable.

Re: Girls with glasses
I wear my glasses when watching TV, computer, driving, work. the rest of the time I just walk around in haze (btw, everybody looks so much better LOL). I plan on not wearing my glasses the day of and just pray I will see FH w/o squinting (<--great! a new thing to worry about! ugh!)

Re: Girls with glasses
I got contacts last March specifically because I didn't want to be wearing my glasses at our wedding.
I never thought it would happen, but I absolutely LOVE the contacts!!!! It took me almost 2 months to get used to putting them in every day. I have terrible allergies but claratin seemed to be enough to keep them at bay and I didn't need the eye drops anymore. It was quite an experience learning to use contacts, but they are so amazing! Even for simple things like going to the gym, life is just so much better with contacts!
I know DH loved my glasses, but everyone has gotten used to me in contacts and it's been great. I encourage you to give them a try! If you're nearsighted, most eye doctors have sample contacts they can fit you with at their office so you don't have to buy a year's supply or anything. There's usually like an $80-$100 one-time 'fitting fee' but some insurances cover this.
Good luck with whatever you decide!
