Perfect vision, no need of glasses or contacts. In 1st and 2nd grade, I wore glass because I was far sighted, I believe. I LOVED glasses and thought they were so cool LOL!!! I was such a nerd. :p But they fixed my vision! :D

I have pretty bad vision. I can see things up close just fine but not far away. I wear soft contacts. The funny thing is, I had no idea my vision was that bad until I was 16...passed the driving test just fine, I just couldn't pass the vision test! So I've worn contacts since then, and legally I cannot drive without them.
I had bad vision until LASIK! Best choice I ever made. It worked well for me. Now I am 20/20 in one eye and 20/10 in the other. If you ever decide to get LASIK done, PLEASE research doctors thoroughly before getting it done! More expensive is NOt always better; and the cheapest isn't necessarily better either!
That's me!!!!! I wear glasses when swimming in the sea because I would never find my towel anymore:DQuote:

I'm totaly blind without my specs - and like Barbara if I go in the sea or a pool - I have to wear them. Apparantly watching me put mascara on is hilarious!!
Whenever I have a general anesthetic I have to ask one of the nurses to be sure and put my specs on as soon as I get in the recovery room - so when I do wake up - I can see!

Blind as a bat here too! I've been like this since I learned how to read when I was little. I wore glasses all my life up until high school, when I got contacts..I love 'em but I still wonder what it's like to be able to wake up in the morning and actually see what time it is on the clock and not have the room be an entire blur.
I wear contacts. I wore glasses in 6th and 7th grade and then got contacts when I was in 8th grade. I still have glasses but rarely wear them.
I was putting my contacts in the other morning and was think about making it a poll here, lol.
I wouldn't be able to see my hand in frount of my face if it wasn't for my contacts!! My contact perscription is - 4.00 for one eye and - 3.75 for the other. They get worse every year, and I go back next month... so I'm sure it will be worse again!!:o
Im stuck with glasses, although Ive gotten so used to them I think I'd flip out if I didn't need them any more! I got glasses when I was 12 when my vision suddenly turned to crap :( I have astigmatisim in one eye and my doctor keeps telling me I have all the signs that I have Glaucoma but I don't actually have it :confused: . They keep doing tests every year and they aren't the most pleasant things in the world. One test they poke your eye with some thingy to get a pressure reading...ugh. And they use these drops that dialate your eyes for about 4 hours (I had a job interview right after my eye appointment once, My eyes were all bloodshot and dialated...needless to say I didn't get the job lol)
Any time you go for a routine eye exam plan to be dilated. It allows the doctor to exam the back of your eye and is part of a complete exam. Lots of people want to have their exams first thing in the morning and then go into work right after, and we tell them it's not a good idea if they need to see up close for their work.
DJFyrewolf36 you shouldn't be having your eye 'poked' to get a pressure reading. :eek: If your pressures are higher than they should be that is probably why they have you coming back. You may have ocular hypertension but that isn't glaucoma. It is something that needs following though.
My pet peeve at work is people who wear contacts and then they rip their last pair and are overdue for an exam and want to come in right away. They usually have no back-up glasses either.
I am also blind as a bat without them to anything more than about five feet away. Like Barbara - I even wear them to swim!!! But, I never wear them at home because I do NOT need them to read or use the computer:) I have bifocals for that but who wants to keep their head tipped bacK? ...Don't want to bother with an extra pair for reading because I can see up close just fine.
I have to wear contacts. I use to wear glasses but that all changed 4 years ago. I love my contacts! I am blind without my contacts I really need go back and have my eyes checked. I've noticed I'm having a hard time reading stuff up close now without my contacts.
I voted for the 20/20 as I do not wear prescription glasses or contacts. But, I do have that "old lady" syndrome of having to hold the page a little further from my face than normal, thus the drug store glasses to magnify things a little bit!!! :o
He he he he Logan - I have a friend with that problem and we keep telling her she needs longer arms!!!:DQuote:

I am very badly nearsighted, have worn glasses since the summer I turned 9. I have a preety strong astigmatism in each eye, too, though my prescription is very different for each eye. For those of you who don't know, astigmatism is what we usually call "double vision" - but because I have it in both eyes, it's more like triple vision or so. Without glasses, I cannot read anything any further than 4 1/4 inches from my nose. Literally, I just measured. And if you're across the room, not only are you really blurry, but there are 3 or 4 of you overlapping.
I do not get out of bed without putting glasses on.
I was once "lost" at a party on the beach where I left my glasses with my towel, and the current was pretty strong. I was sent back to shore with the bag of crabs we had caught, and others kept swimming.
When I got to shore, I realized I had no idea where I was. Thankfully the beach was empty except for my friends, so I followed the sound of their voices, keeping the water on my left, and just walked down until I could see them reliably. They, of course, could see me the whole time, and had no idea why I was walking so slowly, or that I was lost!
If I knock my glasses of my bureau, I get out of bed gingerly and "pet" the floor methodically until I feel them. Pretty sad!
