I am just wondering if the majority of the population wears/needs glasses or not....
EDIT: Or wear contacts, basically, you do not have good vision
-
I have really bad vision so I wear contacts. If I'm hanging out at the house or just need to give my eyes a rest I wear my glasses. I really want to get lasik but my eye doctor said we have to wait to make sure my eyes are done changing.
-
Well if I ever get the laser surgery, I won't be curious to what being blind is like :thumbsup:
-
I wear glasses sometimes to work or read
-
I'm near-sighted, so I need glasses when I drive.
-
I need glasses but I choose to wear contacts. I hate wearing my glasses. I need new ones bad.

I wear contacts because it's cheaper than glasses for me. I need a stronger prescription almost every year.
-
I wear glasses, but I've been thinking about getting contacts for the past few months.I want the convenience of contacts, but I'm worried about injuring myself. My sister used to wear contacts, but then had to stop when she scratched her cornea, something I worry about.

I wear glasses. I have tried contacts a couple of times but just could not stand wearing them.....I really wish I could wear contact because I love cheep sunglasses.

Well, my glasses sometimes can get annoying, and I want contacts, but parents think I'm too irresponsible....

I wonder why far-sighted people need glasses to drive, I mean they can see the road and everything... I'm near-sighted too, and I wonder what it's like being far-sighted.... well, I don't want to find out from expierience, that's for sure! :sad1:

Yes, I have to wear glasses! I wear contacts during the day and my glasses at night.

i have a blurr vision and i use glasses.....and am not that comfortable with lenses...
how ever glasses are the best choice...
-
I'm near-sighted with astigmatism - yep, I wear glasses/contacts. Have since the 7th grade.
Bit of trivia, according to vision measuring, any vision higher than 500/20 is considered "blind" without correction, but many people can easily correct that vision, which is why that won't qualify for "blindness" on taxes. ;D
According to that, I'm blind as a bat! When I go for my eye exam, with my right eye, I can see a dark smudge inside a white blur. With my left eye, I'm lucky to see the white blur.
-
I have been wearing glasses since high school. Started wearing contacts a few years ago.

I am farsighted and have been wearing glasses full time for five years. I think I look better with them than without. My husband also wears glasses he's nearsighted) and he looks so handsome in them.
-
I am nearsighted, So I don't wear them all the time, I sit at a computer all day long 8)
-
I hate glasses, and will NOT wear contacts. I don't even wear sunglasses, they bother me :( Bad news, I had to renew my driverse license and guess what :BangHead: :angry7:
-
I wear contacts during the day with sunglasses each and everytime I go outside. At night I wear my glasses. I can't see at all without them so I'm stuck. I'd like to get laser eye surgery, but the possible side effects scare me.
-
My glasses are a life line. Lets say I go with wearing my glasses for a month I am asking for a migraine for the next 2 months.
-
I wear glasses (near sighted and astigmatism) and have every since I was 5 or 6 year old. There have saved my eyes on many occassions "flying objects landing on the lense" and are much more convenient than contacts able to take them on an off whenever needed. I have never understood why people want to ditch the glasses so readily. I would never consider lasik because my father had a botched lasik procedure so he is legally blind in one eye and there is no way to correct it with contacts. He also has terrible night vision with large halos and starbursts around every light outside. Yea I will just use the glasses.
-
Don't wear them but should
-
I'm 59 and have needed vision correction since I was in the 5th grade. It started with nearsightedness, and I wore "Far Side" glasses for years. I finally got toric contacts. Since I work at the computer all day, I don't wear anything for that. I wear bifocals in my middle-aged years now for driving, watching TV and reading.
-
Have them but do not wear them
-
yes i wear glasses have since i was a teenybopper
-
I wear contacts! My prescription is high and so I don't like the way the glasses look (even the ultra thin ones) plus I can see better with contacts even if my glasses are an updated prescription. I drive my eye doctor nuts because I will tell him that I can't see as clearly as I should be able to and he tells me I have 20/20 vision, but I'm used to being able to see better than that (though only a little). LOL
-
I see little ones wearing now. It is quite common now I guess.
-
I do not wear glasses and thank God above.
-
I have worn glasses most of my life. I am thinking about having eye surgery
-
Luckily I don't need to wear glasses. I have really good eyes :thumbsup:
-
I use to have perfect vision until around 45. I notices things has to be held further away to read them. I can't go anywhere without my glasses. Use to wear contacts and will again. My next eye exam will be for contacts.
My eyes are so light sensitive that sunglasses are worn as much as my regular glasses, even on overcast days. I have a thing about sunglasses. I have at least 10 pair...lol
