Contact Lenses Make me Worse Looking

I look so good without my contacts. For whatever reason, adding the contacts makes my skin less smooth and blotchy, my hair more frizzy, the wrinkles more obvious, and my entire self just generally more obvious.

You would think that a little piece of plastic that doesn’t really show wouldn’t make such a difference, but it does.

I know people who got contacts because they thought they looked better than in glasses, but for me this isn’t the case. I don’t look very good in glasses either. For some reason they also make my skin less smooth and my hair frizzier and the wrinkles more obvious, but the deep eye sockets aren’t there in glasses. They sure are with contacts.

This morning I put in my contacts and it caused my skin to turn splotchy! Crazy that just moments before it had been smooth and clear. Darn contacts! I need them to read and drive or I’d just leave them out. They drastically change my appearance and not for the better.

  1. If you’re at all nearsighted, the lenses in your glasses reduce the apparent size of anything you look at through them. Putting equivalent lenses up flush against your eyeballs diminishes that effect.

    In that case, things will look larger through your contacts than through your glasses. Whether you’ll dislike the effect is another matter, nothing to do with how you’ll look to anyone else.

    • I’m so farsighted… Both eyes are plus 5.5, so when I go get glasses or contacts, I always have to wait because they aren’t in stock. ): I have the opposite effect as nearsighted people. I have to wear reading glasses on top of my contacts to see.
