Do you wear glasses?

I wear Focus Dailies contacts. They itch.

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

Always! I make my own rules!

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

This is quite a "normal" phenomenon, children can have eyeballs that are too "flat" at the front, causing farsightedness.
However, as they get older and grow bigger, the eyes grow bigger and more convex, causing the eyesight to return to "normal", or too convex, causing nearsightedness.

Kids pick on anyone with something to mark them out as "different".

I wear glasses- have done since I was about 22. Age is such a leveller.

I wear glasses for stigmatism.

I wear band-aids for stigmata.

I wear glasses, but I'm currently trying to get contacts.

[Dauphin]

I recently got contact lenses, they're good for nights out in the pub, but getting the lenses out before you go to bed can be "hazardous".

[DrSpike]

Hehe tell me about it........many a time I have passed out without taking them out as well, which is even worse.

[Clear Skies]

Glasses only, although my mum wears both...she has pretty awful eyesight as well as astigmatism. It's so fun. I get all the **** genetics from my parents (bad eyesight from mum, poor circulation and terrible hair from dad, personality problems from both of em) and my sister gets off scot free. Nice. Although I probably deserve all that **** more than she does, so the universe probably got it right this time.

Been wearing glasses since the 4th grade.

Since I can't touch my eye's, I can't wear contacts....besides, I'm just gonna save up my $$$ and get that laser eye surgery. Does anyone know how long it takes?

[Boris Godunov]

Contacts, but need to get a new prescription, so am thinking of getting some spiffy glasses.

[Asher]

Do I look more like a computer geek with these on, Boris?

[Boris Godunov]

More? Was that possible?



The ones I am thinking about getting are feather-weight frames with ultra-thin lenses. Probably will run me $300.

[Asher]

These are featherwates (that's how Lenscrafters calls them anyway) and very thin lenses and an anti-reflective coating too.

And they're rimless at the bottom! OHH.
