I actually just stopped wearing my glasses in March. I'm near sighted and used to wear them all the time but I kind of got sick of wearing them. Now I find if I let my eyes adjust and I can make more things out than I thought. I do have to wear them when I drive though.

Only general glasses for seeing... Haven't gotten into contacts since I am used to wearing glasses

My glasses are for distance and to correct my astigmatism.  No computer or reading specific glasses...yet.  But I know I'm getting to the age where it might start slipping, but so far so good.  :)

I have worn glasses since the 4th grade when I could not see the black board.  (Yes it was a black board with chalk and erasers that hurt when you got hit by the hard side).  But I worked in the Information Technology world for over 20 years and to be truthful any amount of stress to the eyes is not helpful but I developed a simple methoed to cope which was to limit myself to no more than fifty minutes looking at a screen than I got up and did something else for ten minutes than back to the screen.

I've worn glasses for years, but when I spend a long time at the computer, I notice the strain.  It is important to let your eye doctor know if you use the computer a lot.  They compensate for that in your RX.

I absolutely refuse to wear glasses. My vision is horrible and I am required to wear them while driving but if I have a choice I will not wear them period.

I have worn eye glasses for a number of years and I hate them.  If I had the money I would get the eye surgery.

I wear contacts everyday and have worn them since I was about 14.  I don't have any glasses right now but I want to get some at some point.

I started wearing glasses at 40, their are a pain in my side. I forget them all the time and I can't do the contact lenses. a recent eye exam tells me my eye condition has not changed. :)

I wear contacts but occasionally wear a pair of back up glasses.

I have been wearing glasses since the 2nd grade.  I tried contacts but they irritate my eyes more and need to take them out daily and clean it.  Too much of a hassle.

I wear glasses occassionally. There are a lot of choices. I actually really enjoy it, and think it's far more preferable than wearing contacts.
