do you wear glasses?

I wear either contacts or glasses, depending. If I'm having a lazy day at home, or if my eyes are a little irritated (they're pretty sensitive), I wear my glasses.

Otherwise, I wear my contacts as often as possible. :) There's something irksome about having the glasses on my nose.

i actually see better with contacts than glasses--something to do with the fact that my contacts correct astigmatism whereas glasses dont, or not to the level that i need. i wear them so much that my doctor has also warned me that my corneas aren't getting enough oxygen--that means that the blood vessels grow into your corneas which isn't a good thing. got some contacts this last time that are supposed to let oxygen through a little better so we'll see. i definitely foresee lasik in my future as long as it is an options for my eyes.

When I finally got contacts in high school I discovered I had better depth perception. I could catch something if you threw it at me.

I've been wearing glasses since 1st or 2nd grade. My right eye is weaker than my left eye and I have astigmatism to a different degree in both eyes. I can't wear contacts anymore, as my eyes are too dry. If I wore contacts now, I'd be able to wear them for an hour or two before I'd have to take them out.

I see an eye specialist every 6 months and I have to take a visual fields test every 6 months. If my visual fields change they will know that the pituitary lesion I have has gotten bigger, which means they'll have to start me on meds to shrink the lesion.

Unfortunately dry eyes can prevent you from getting lasik, since dry eyes will change your prescription, and they don't want to engrave the wrong thing permanently.

I picked "To look cool for the ladies" but really I only wear shades when I ride my motorbike. Got lasik done back in 98 its the shiznit! :carrot:

because there was no option for "I should, but the kids keep swiping them and ripping the arms off them....so I gave up" :P
Of course, some days I don't see why I even bother in the first place. I can't see with them and can't see without them. Besides, that's what I have a husband for, he does all my seeing for me. :taz:

I wear my glasses strictly for seeing far away; like if I am driving on roads, watching a movie on a small TV far from me in the room, etc. I can drive offroad and such without them, as I only need them to see details on road signs, etc. I actually like wearing them if I go into the woods for a hike, etc; I can see more details of the landscape and enjoy it more.. and they make great mud/bug guards for your eyes when you're going 40mph on an atv! :)

been wearing glasses since I was 7. I tried contacts a few times but my eyes seem to be too dry to allow me to wear contacts all the time. dang I wish I could get that lasic thing done. my sister had hers done and was seeing clearly immediately after!!
