I own and wear both. I've had my contacts for almost two months, and I wear them often. Both bug me beyond belief, but I can't see anything without them, so their benefits outweigh the negative aspects of them.
I like my glasses because they shield my dubbed 'freaky' eyes from others, but I dislike them because they seriously impair my peripheral vision and they feel so fragile to me, like they'll break if I run into a door.
I like my contacts actually a lot more than I thought I would, because the detail I can see with them, and the great distances I can now see are amazing. However, they magnify the brightness and picks apart the colors in my eyes, making them even more concentrated and piercing. I kinda fail when it comes to how long I can wear them, and I've worn them for much longer than I'm supposed to. At first, I had difficulty putting them on and taking them off my eyes, but now I'm pretty good at it, and it's super easy to put eye make-up on because my eyes aren't as sensitive (which can be a bad thing too.) Sometimes, you may get something in your eye sometimes accompanied by a sharp pain that won't go away until your eye produces cleaning tears to wash the liquid away.
...They're totally worth it though, to be semi-blind (we may not see black, but I don't count blurry lines to the point where it's hard to tell who you're communicating or what you're reading a full visionary wonder.) is a tragedy. When I was 13 and got my first pair of glasses, leaves on trees took my breath away, I was fascinated with them, and still am.

I wear glasses at home and usually contacts outside of my house. Glasses usually bug me more because sometimes they get a smudge and it is very difficult to get out. Also, when I am wearing glasses I can't wear mascara because then my eyelashes touch my glasses every time I blink lol. But my contacts bug me when they are in too long as well.
My eyes are sh*t, so I always need corrective lenses of some sort when not sleeping or showering. The only times I really wear contact lenses would be for rugby and for costumes (for Hallowe'en and conventions and whatnot).
I've needed them since I was like 6, so it's really just part of my life, for better or worse. I was told by one or two classmates in primary school that I looked like a ghost without them, though...
first had glasses, tried contacts for a couple years and they itched and I started just wearing one (my eyes arnt terrible, just need em to see the school board) so I switched back to glasses. glasses never bother me at all, I don't notice them.

If a guy wears glasses/contacts, the chances are that I will find them more attractive in their glasses. No reason why, I just like it.
I wear them around the house and at school only when necessary. I'm waiting for my prescription to stop changing so dramtically. I've had them for 4 years now and it's only a pain when I forget them and we're going to see a movie or something.
Yeah I just got glasses Monday for astigmatism but it's not bad so I only need to wear them when I'm reading on the computer (like now) or just want a clearer view of things, and it helps so I've been wearing them when I'm not on the comp or reading.

I wear glasses. Ray-Bans with plastic frames. No they don't bother me. I've been wearing glasses since I was about 2 or 3 so I really don't know what it's like to not wear them all the time.
I wear contacts when I'm going out and glasses around the house. My contacts bother me sometimes but not too often.
I got glasses last month but haven't used them except once in class because I need them for reading stuff far away..it hurts my eyes to see with them if I look at things up close..plus people say I look weird with them
I wear glasses, I can't find the courage to touch my eye. though glasses can be annoying at times, I think I prefer them over contacts. Also, I usually think glasses are more attractive most the time.
Both but I always wear contacts. they rarely bother me, glasses are much more annoying for me
