do you wear glasses?

Blind as a bat without them.

been wearing glasses/contacts since i was six. i needed them earlier but my parents thought i just wanted attention and that's why i always sat close to the tv and said i couldn't see. :rolleyes: finally a letter home from my teacher in first grade clued them in.

so yeah, legally blind since fourth grade. you should have seen the incredible nerd glasses i had to wear until i was allowed to get contacts in tenth grade. the lenses were so thick they actually touched my face at the cheek and eyebrow. oh yeah--now that was hot stuff.

one day i hope to get corrective laser surgery, but i don't know if i'll be a candidate for it or not. even if it could bring my vision back out of the "legally blind" range it might be worth it, but i guess that will be up to the doctor one day when i save up the cash.

now that just sucks :( i have a friend who can't see anything without her glasses... makes me sad to think about it.

sight is such a gift... and so often we don't realize how precious it is until it's fading (or gone).

I wish I could vote for two options :P I have a very low prescription pair of glasses I got mainly because I was getting headaches. Staring at computer screens 9-10 hours a day and then up 6 more in the evenings if I have other work is just not good on the eye balls! I also have a bit of sensitivity to light and hate not driving with some shades on..."to look cool for the ladies" :rofl:

No glass's here, at least not yet.LOL

I can't see to get out of bed in the morning without my glasses.....LOL.

I wear glasses alot during the winter because the heaters really dry out my eyes.....but I wear contacts most of the time.

wore them when i was younger but didnt really need them, i want to get laskic through my wifes work but she said since i have ambleopia(sp?) or lazy eye it wouldnt help, she a laser vision correnator for the doc she does all pre opt testing, pic of your eye all that stuff, her doc did it for free on her 5 years ago so she can promote the experance to the patients. she loves it.

Yup, i have to wear glasses, but they are called prism glasses, they look the same, but they help my eyes focus, because they dont work together correctly. lol.

LOL. yup. my bf had to wear those. he (and i) HATE them. they are brown now, i dont know if you had the black or the brown ones. lol. Now that he is in AIT they let him wear his regular glasses though.

im 20/12 vision, never had to wear glasses but I do wear the shades every now and then.:cool:

I was suppose to when I was younger for lazy eye, but that must have gone away on it's own. Perfect vision now, even the little letters are perfectly clear.
