How many people wear/need glasses?
« on: May 02, 2010, 11:55:26 am »
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'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.

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


I'm near-sighted, so I need glasses when I drive.

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:

I'm near-sighted, but my prescription isn't that bad although it is still changing.  I wear glasses, but I am curious to how contacts feel. XD

I've worn glasses all my life. (since I was about 3 years old). I played "pirate" for a year (with a patch over the stronger eye...to try and strengthen the weaker one) but it did not work.
