do you wear glasses?

I voted shades to look cool for the ladies, but did start wearing glasses last year. :( Hate wearing glasses but had put it off longer than I should have,

i have progressive lenses. so i have three perscriptions in each lense. it's great for the computer and close up... my distance vision is still good though. just a slight perscrip in my left eye and none in my right

I tried those progressive lenses but just couldn't get used to them, I kept bobbing my head all over trying to find the right focal range. My bifocals are good between a couple inches in front of my face to about 1 1/2 feet (the bottom half) and the top halves are good from about 3 feet to really far away. But everything between about 1 1/2 feet to 3 feet was just a bit out of focus. I ended up getting single focal lenses for work that make everything clear between about 1 foot to about 3 1/2 feet away. They're great for work but if I look off in the distance over the walls of my cube everything is a blur.

Been wearing glasses for most of my life. Have invisible bifocals now, although I put off the whole bifocal thing for as long as I could. I'm not a candidate for corrective surgery, and they still don't make contacts to correct all my issues...I could wear contacts, but would still have to wear some sort of prescription glasses on top of those.....figures! :rolleyes:

mark,

how long did you try them for? it took me a couple of weeks to get used to the changes in the lenses but now i love em. mind you... i've only had them for a month :P

judy,

The point is being able to see, I have a buddy that wears 2 pairs at once just to see! :eek:

I wore glasses between the ages of 9 and 12, then got contacts. Wow, I just realized it's almost been 15 years of wearing contacts everyday. I hate them, but I can't see squat without 'em in and I hate glasses more, so it's definitely a love/hate relationship.

I've been wearing glasses or contacts since I was in 3rd grade =/

I actually just got some spiffy new glasses yesterday.. I can see much better now

Lasik surgery five years ago. Never had to go back and don't plan on it. :taz:

I had to wear them in the Army. I had to sport around the BCG's (Birth control glasses) for months until I just quit wearing them and no one noticed.

:taz: :colbert: WAaaaaaaaahhh, to all of you! :P


I've been wearing prescription lenses since I was five & in kindergarten....They FINALLY came up with the contact lens "technology" for my vision problems when I was a senior in HS. So I got the little, hard plastic disks then.

It's unsafe to wear contacts around the chemicals in the fab, so my contacts are for "special" occasions. I can't afford lasik, but hopefully with tax returns or some serious saving, I can get it done this year! I'm borderline still eligible, and I don't know for how much longer. I might get the surgery, just in order to get SOFT, disposable contacts to make up the difference if the surgery isn't enough.
