Just like you, I've been using glasses since I was 8 years old.
When I was 15, I got my first pair of lenses and I loved it!
My sight is very very bad, I hated wearing glasses because they were so thick and kids at school keept on annoying me because of that.
When I got my lenses it wat the best thing ever, I never wanted to wear glasses again!
Now that I am older, I love both. On days of work I wear my lenses but on days that I'm free, resting at home, I wear my glasses

It's a matter of what you like and what you feel comfortable in
