Because we're working in an office and contacts suck the moisture out of our eyes.I don’t get why people feel the need to keep their glasses on while listening. Just get contacts

I don't get why people think I need to take my glasses off to be able to listen to music.I don’t get why people feel the need to keep their glasses on while listening. Just get contacts
Unless walking, commuting, driving etc. why not chill and take the glasses off ?
This is gold.
Because I can't see shit then.Unless walking, commuting, driving etc. why not chill and take the glasses off ? It's good for your eyes anyway. I now take every opportunity to take off my glasses. Doctors used to recommend wearing glasses only as necessary. Now they're like permanent appendices on our faces. Lenses are even worse. That aside, I'm all for it.
Really? There are many cases where contacts can’t replace glasses, and some of us produce music and/or listen to music while we’re working.I don’t get why people feel the need to keep their glasses on while listening. Just get contacts

Clearly (no pun intended), more than 10% of people who need vision correction wear glasses. It’s not only that contacts are unsuitable for some, some will also choose not to wear contacts for personal reasons (not wanting something touching the surface of their eyes, for example).You are, of course, right.
However, if we’re being completely honest, these instances will be rare.

…suggests contacts are only unsuitable for 10% of people. For maybe 90% (or, I suspect, more) of uses, it will not be necessary to have corrected vision whilst listening. Yes, some people will be mixing, etc., but this will be a small minority.
That leaves 1% (10% of 10%). And, whilst that’s still a very real issue in those instances, we shouldn’t overstate the case.
Whilst some might like to work and listen at the same time, but that will by definition be an instance where ones attention and concentration is divided and diluted, and where the Nth degree of sound quality isn’t perhaps as important.
I use (multifocal) contact lenses for work, in front of screens. In the evening I like to take them out and use reading glasses. It's a huge relief, like removing ski gear.I don’t get why people feel the need to keep their glasses on while listening. Just get contacts

I tend to wear mine from getting up until going to bed, unless my eyes feel tired, dry, or whatever, which is a fairly rare.
You’ve made a fair point. But I have to be honest, and this is the kicker.
If I’d spent £4,000 on a pair of Dan Clarke Stealths, I suspect I’d go without glasses, even if I couldn’t wear contacts, if the arms spoiled the sound quality.
