Glasses for work??
When you guys are in the office, do you usually wear glasses or contact lenses if you have both? I was thinking of getting glasses but unsure if any look nice, but probably less straining

Based on the most helpful WSO content, the choice between glasses and contact lenses for office wear seems to be a matter of personal preference and comfort. While the context doesn't specifically address glasses vs. contact lenses, it's reasonable to infer that in the finance and professional world, both options are acceptable as long as they contribute to a polished and professional appearance.
Glasses can indeed be less straining for long hours in front of a computer screen, and with the wide variety of frames available, they can also serve as a fashion statement or a way to express personal style in the office. Many professionals opt for glasses with anti-reflective and blue light filtering lenses to reduce eye strain and fatigue from screen use.
On the other hand, contact lenses might be preferred by those who find glasses uncomfortable or do not like how they look with glasses. Contacts offer the convenience of not having to worry about forgetting your glasses or dealing with fogging when moving between different temperatures.
Ultimately, the decision should be based on what makes you feel comfortable and confident. If eye strain is a significant concern, you might want to consider glasses designed for screen use. Remember, in the professional world, how you carry yourself and your work performance speaks louder than whether you choose glasses or contacts.
