Glasses have been a part of my Daily Life (Weekly Challenge) since I was a kid. Now for the first time ever
I have contacts. They are just for the play. I wore them for the first time for a rehearsal today.

Note: Let me add that unfortunately contacts are not a good permanent solution for me.
There are a number of reasons for this, but most importantly, my glasses are prismatic, which is
necessary for me to obtain binocular (stereo) vision. This is impossible to achieve with contacts.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
1s f/16.0 at 65.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Well, one thing is for sure, without your glasses, you can manage to make a perfect photography...
Simple and touching...

I wore glasses for 33 years and was not able to wear contacts. Thankfully I was able to get my vision corrected with laser surgery and have been gog-free for the last 10 years. Is that an option for you as well?

Indeed an important part of life.

Very nice shot Wolfgang. I love contacts. I switched over twenty years ago and would never wear glasses again. Much easier for photography too. :)

First of all, this is a superb image Wolfgang ~ Love everything about it! V
I have worn glasses since I was 8 years old; contacts since I was 15. You will find your contacts to be most liberating! Enjoy them! :)

Great shot. Contact lenses are very convenient if your eyes feel comfortable.

I wear contacts as well but haven't lately. I like this image. You may like having the contacts to change things up every now and then. Nice job!
