I bought myself contacts when I was 16 and I absolutely hated them and threw them away three weeks after getting them.
I recently considered getting them again but my beloved Picklehead threw a fit when I mentioned contacts because he loves how I look in glasses. The other thing that would stop me from getting contacts is my photophobia which is a sensitivity to light and excessive contact wearing can cause it which would not be good since I already have it. My light sensitivity causes migraine headaches with severe vision distortion. Normal vision distortion for migraines is black spots, for me, black and white becomes super sharp, and I get a weird sort of tunnel vision, and it often looks like things are melting (first time I ever got a migraine was in high school and I thought I had stepped into the Twilight Zone because I looked over at my friend and her face was melting, it was really freaky). I currently take Inderal to prevent migraines and MaXalt to treat them if the Inderal doesn't work (or if I forget to take the Inderal, which is more often the case), so I don't get them much, but I wouldn't want to increase the chance of getting one by wearing contacts.
