Maybe you hate the slip 'n slide action that your glasses make on their way down your nose, or you're fed up with people calling you Four Eyes. Or maybe you play a lot of sports and your glasses are getting in the way! Here's a bunch of reasons why people are chucking their glasses for a pair of lenses.

- Safety - Unlike glasses, s don't break or get knocked off if you get P.E. class.
- Looks - s are cool if you're not into the appearance of glasses.

- Disposable s - Soft lenses that are worn for a limited time and then thrown out so you don't have to bother cleaning them. They come in daily, weekly or monthly disposables.
- Extended Wear s - Soft lenses than can be worn overnight or longer.
- Color s - Soft lenses with color. They come in a range of shades, from green to purple, so you can change up the color of your eyes.
- Gas-Permeable s - Softer than hard lenses, but harder than soft lenses. They allow more oxygen to through to your cornea, which reduces the risk of eye infections.
- Hard s - These old-school lenses were probably worn by your grandparents, but no one wears them anymore. Made of hard plastic, they're uncomfortable to wear and difficult to insert and take out.
