Do you wear glasses/contacts?

I have both contacts and glasses, but I am so used to working in a chemistry lab, and nervous that i'll get something my eye that I wear my glasses more often. I do wear my contacts for sports, and I am starting to wear them to work more, since I haven't worked in the lab for a year now!!

Nope i wear either

Interesting poll. It's fascinating how it seems more people have vision deficits than have "normal" vision. It almost seems more "normal" to be nearsighted.

I wear contacts. I wore glasses for awhile when I was younger, but even after a year I could not stand the feeling of them always being on my face. It seems like it should be like wearing a hat or a ring. You get so used to it you aren't even aware of it anymore. But I just never got to that point. I also feel I see better with my contacts, my peripheral vision is better.

Voted yes to both. Can't see past my nose so have a pair for that. Can't see at a distance and have a pair for that. I also have a pair to magnify when on computer, like now...lol.. :)

I wear my glasses to see the board at school but not for much else. They are pretty weak glasses as my eyesight isn't terrible, but just quite odd! My father is short-sighted, and my mother is long-sighted, so guess what...

I am both! One in each eye :p

I am a lot more short-sighted than long, but thankfully I'm not totally dependant on the glasses. :)

Nope, I am glad I don't because I would end of breaking them. I am a clutz.

I should but I don't.I look kinda freaky in them. :o Also my meds have messed with my eyes so much I might need new ones.

I'm supposed to wear glasses but I hate them and always will to the grave :D I sometimes think I look good with them, then I end up hating the way I look. I might get fitted for contacts soon though. The problem is, I am legally blind, and at the age of 15 no less :o :eek: :rolleyes: I refuse to wear them unless I need them for school which is stupid but sadly my insecurites take their toll on me.

I have no choice I have to wear, can 't see to watch tv, cross a road, read a book.

I have been wearing glasses for 40 years, the last 6 I have been in tri-focals
:cool:

I wear contacts. I wear the kind that you leave in for a month and then switch to a new pair when the month is up. I love them! Sleep, shower and swim in them. Of course no serious swimming though. They are the best. I have started having trouble reading and I now use reading glasses also. I tried the new mono vision thing. One eye for distance and one eye for reading and it worked but I could notice a difference with the night time driving so I switched back to my regular contacts and reading glasses. The doc says when the reading part gets worse the mono vision will be the way I want to go. I'll probably give that another try in a year or two. I also have glasses that I will sometimes wear between contact changes. I started wearing glasses when I was in the 7th grade.

I wore glasses / contacts from age 10-27. I had corrective surgery last year and it has been the best decision of my life! Course major side effect is the high probability of needing reading glasses somewhere around the age of 40ish (the average apparently)... course that means I have 10+ years! :D
