Could you not find a suitable replacement set in teh course of your disection

Glasses, since I was 10, or so. I started out wearing them very little (mostly just in the classroom or when watching TV), now I wear them practically all the time.

The details: Left -2.75, Right -2.25.

I tried contacts a couple of years back, wore them one day, then decided it wasn't worth the trouble.

I wore glasses from the 1st grade until 9th. Then I got contacts adn I have worn them mostly since. The only times I wear glasses is at night when the contacts start getting all blurry.

Contacts.... I only wear glasses in the mornings before I put my contacts on.

Don't worry UberKrux, I'm sure you'll go bald or something

Contacts since 8th grade. Glasses are only for use inside the house when I couldn't be arsed to put the contacts in.

No, I'd rather just say 'sucks to be you'.

[Dr. Nick]

Bah! I'm blind and proud of it! MEH!

I have had glasses since 5th or 4th grade.

After 6th grade I did not wear them more than a couple times a year.

I mostly wear contacts, and only wear glasses as a backup (like when I get pink eye or when my allergies make my eyes too itchy for contacts, f'rinstace). I recently got some new glasses, because I discovered that my glasses (which hadn't been replaced in four years) were so outdated that I couldn't drive with them anymore.

my poor brother began wearing them at age four...why do children always pick on the kid with glasses??

[Tiamat]

Yes I do. I've had to have them since I was in 5th grade. I'm near sighted in one eye, far sighted in the other and have a stigmatism. NNOOOOOOOooooo I couldn't just have the normal bad eye sight

[DrSpike]

It's one word..........astigmatism..........I have it too.

[Tiamat]

Yes......I just found that out. Selfbiased was going upstairs and corrected me while I was typing. I just always thought when they said you have a stigmatism that it was seperate.

[DrSpike]

Well maybe the rules are different when you have 5 heads.

[Jon Miller]

I have mostly astigmatism

for a short while I was slighlty farsighted (2nd or 3rd year of glasses was when I was told I was farsighted)

currently I am slightly nearsighted (switched in the course of a year)

otherwise my eyes have not changed
