Are Britons throwing glasses out the window?

A recent survey from GetLenses.co.uk has revealed that an eye-opening 98% of the UK’s glasses-wearing public are ditching their glasses and opting to wear contact lenses, because they make them feel more attractive.

In a bid to discover what people really think about glasses and contact lenses, leading online contact lens suppliers, GetLenses.co.uk, polled over 2,500 glasses wearers, discovering that people prefer wearing contact lenses not only for convenience and comfort, but because they feel more confident without glasses. In fact, the survey revealed that only 10% of UK’s public find people more attractive wearing glasses.

When asked what people didn’t like about glasses, 40% said they are put off by those wearing glasses as they can’t see their eyes. Because contact lenses offer glasses wearers a convenient alternative to eyewear, wearers gain all the advantages of perfect vision, without glasses getting in the way.

Ashley Mealor, marketing director at GetLenses.co.uk, said: “Geek Chic has become the trend amongst the catwalks, so we were surprised to find that almost 100% of glasses wearers still feel more confident wearing contact lenses. At Getlenses we provide comfortable and affordable lenses that help to make people look and feel confident with no compromise on style or price.”

Getlenses.co.uk offer prescription and non-prescription contact lenses, as well as a range of colours so wearers can even change their eye colour to match their mood and style.
