Do you wear glasses or contacts?
 

20/15, baybeh!!! :thumbsup:

I picked the first one, but I didn't get glasses until I was 15 or 16. My eyesight is terrible -- 20/200, I think.

I have been nearsighted since first grade. I started to wear glasses then and when I was 15 I started to wear contacts. Right now I have my very old glasses on. I only wear the contacts if I go out.

My contact presciption is -7.0

I'm a four eyes. LOL
 

Oh Christy, contacts are nothing like that air puff machine! They are not that bad but you just have to get used to them.

I have been wearing contacts for a year. Both eyes are...-0.75

Wow....
 

I've had glasses since i've been in 5th grade and quickly transitioned into contacts by 7th. I hated my glasses (wire framed nerd alert). I now wear both and absolutely looove my glasses.

Oh crumbs..poor you , one stigmatism in one eye's bad enough for me!

had glasses since I was nine, contacts (hard lenses) from 16 to 26, until they became unbearable because of hayfever and having to stare at computerscreens in airconditioned rooms too much. Tried soft lenses last year but I think I'm allergic to the cleaning fluids. I don't mind glasses, really.
oh, about -8 both eyes.

Never used either, but I might have to start on that soon. Bleeding computer screens. o_O

I am terribly nearsighted. I got glasses when I was eight and contacts at 11. I've never had trouble touching my eye, so contacts weren't a problem for me.

I like myself in glasses...just not those. They weren't very becoming on me so two years later, I asked my parents If I could get contacts. They agreed and I had a hell of a time at first. It would take me 40 minutes to get them in and then it would take me forever to get them out in front of a mirror. Looking back on it now it makes me laugh because i'll be sitting anywhere and reach in and take it out (it still creeps my mom out that I can touch my eye), clean it off and put it back in my eye in a matter of seconds. I'd love to rid myself of contacts completely and have the laser surgery. I know i'd still have to wear glasses (i'm pretty sure everyone I know that has had it done, still has to) but not having to worry about dry eyes and things--that would be nice.

I got glasses in middle school - but just for reading and I never wore them lol..

Now I wear them everyday - mostly because I do a lot of reading/writing at my job so I need them all day - I don't usually wear them on the weekends...unless I'm going out or something...

I think I look pretty good in glasses - but the other night I was hanging out with this guy from work and I took my glasses off to rub my eye and he was like, "whoa! You should get contacts - you look really good without your glasses..." I was like..."um thanks?" then he retracted and was like "Um - no I mean you look good with them too...but um...yeah...." then he took his foot out of his mouth :p No - it was nice compliment but I have NO desire to wear contacts....at all....

I actually...
 

need glasses now, Just to read with...

Contacts and glasses since 10th grade. My eyesight wasn't bad, back then! 20/25 in one eye and 20/40 in the other.

Law school and all that damn reading ruined my eyesight. Now I have 20/200 in one eye and 20/40 in the other. :shocked: Needless to say, it is another reason to hate law school, after all those damn loans :laugh:

I have astigmatism in both eyes as well. My left eye used to be worse, but now it's the right one. :laugh: So, I have to wear toric lenses.

I think it might depend on how bad your vision is to begin with as to whether or not you would have to continue to wear glasses in certain lighting. I don't even know what mine is. It's usually stayed the same in both eyes throughout the years. What I do know is that throughout the years because i've worn contacts so frequently, my eyes have a problem getting oxygen and i'm developing some sort of problem with the vessels in my eyes so I was given a new brand of contact to try (Optix2). They're not dry as much and the problem is seeming to be less of a problem. Still, i'd rather not have to worry about it at all. Certain times during the year i'll stay in my glasses because I get allergy eye so badly and that usually helps with the vessel issue. If they could tell me that it would correct my vision completely, i'd do it when I had the available funds.

I've been in glasses since I was 13 and I got contacts three years ago. They've bounced back and forth between having astigmatism and not having it; now I have it in one eye and I don't have to wear a toric lens for it but I chose to anyway... and who'd have known it would have given me depth perception? lol... It's a slight difference, but I can definitely tell there is one and I can judge distances better than I ever could before. Unfortunately my vision's also getting worse so without my other eyes I can only see about 3 feet before things get blurry.

I wear both. I've had glasses since 3rd grade and contacts since the 6th. I wear my contacts mostly, but wear my glasses when I want to look dorky and worldy.

I don't need glasses or contacts. I have perfect vision. :p

Hey, you were the same age as me for both. I was the first kid in my class to get contacts. It was one of my cooler moments. :angel: :laugh:

I have worn contacts since my junior year in college. I started having problems early on in college, but I put it off and off. Finally it came to the point that I noticed I couldn't see the board in the back of the auditorium, so I talked to my then boyfriend-now husband about it. He checked my vision, and sure enough, I needed contacts. I couldn't believe how much better I could see; it was amazing. I wish I hadn't waited so long about getting it checked. I have been wearing contacts ever since for distance.

Perfect? But...do you have....20/15 perfect? Bwahahahahahaha!!! I WIN! I WIN!!!! :lol: :lol: I'm totally kidding.... :p I used to always want glasses and/or braces when I was little. For some reason. Never got them.

Hey! Me 2! I thought I was the cheese cuz I was the only one with contacts. Then everyone else got them....what losers! :lol:

I started wearing the dorky, library glasses first, too. Everyone had to follow in that, too.

I didn't want braces, but I had them anyway. In all honesty my teeth weren't even bad, but my mom's friend was a dentist and she got them for "a really great price". :rolleyes:

I hated them and the time, but now I have perfect teeth to match my perfect vision. :p :p

Excellent! You're lucky you got braces. I never needed them. :( i thought they were so cute, though! *my teeth are perfect* :(

Glasses since Grade 8. And let me tell you, they were some white hot Judith Light circa Who's The Boss style glasses! Ooooh man, the boys were flocking for a piece of that! :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
+50 for Judith Light comparison!!!

Totally describes that style of glasses! :lol: :lol: :lol:

oh, oh no. can totally picture them, too. Those aren't, uh, really "boy" glasses, are they? :lol: I'm just teasing, I'm sure you were the cutest, nerdy looking gay boy at school. :xoxo:
