How's your vision?

Since we are having a lot of polls lately and since I work for an ophthalmologist I thought this would be an interesting topic. Though I wear glasses I can get by without them if I have to. How about you?

I have to put my specs on to go to the bathroom in the night.

blind as a bat.

enough said.

I wear glasses. I used to wear contacts but then after moving to Arizona I switched because the weather was just too dry.

I wear contacts... gas permable....have worn them since I was in college. I put them in when I get up in the morning and usually wear them until I go to bed. I have glasses, of course, but never feel I can see well with them.

I now wear readers when I have my contacts in and need to see up close...sigh...old age....

I have 20/20 vision with no need of glasses/contacts, so far. I know it will probably change with age though, as it does with most people.

I wear glasses for reading purposes only, but i am long overdue by about 3 years for new ones, my eyesight has deterioted so much, I now have to use a magnifying glass with my glasses to read, being on the computer is hard too, I sit quite close and get sore eyes if I am on here too long, I am long-sighted , which is normal for my age group.

I really want to beable to read books again, so i am hoping to try and afford these new glasses soon. I miss reading.!!!

I am far sighted which means I can't see close. My doctor told me that when I turn 40, my vision would start to go down hill. Well, sure enough, it did! I also have an astigmatism. Because I don't have insurance right now, I just use cheap reading glasses. Without them I can't see ANYTHING!!! I do need to have my eyes checked again because I know my vision has changed alot. It sucks to get old.

I'm near sided, meaning I can't see far away. So I have glasses I only use for school to look at the board, but I don't need to wear them daily.

I wear tinted contacts..I wear aqua, blue, evergreen or violet..disposable lens and wear 2 weeks at a time. I do have glasses I wear one night a week when I give my eyes a break

I have horrible vision.

I wear glasses, but have contacts as well. I went a week with wearing my contacts but couldn't stand them.
I haven't even opened the perscriptions ones, the ones I used were the test ones.

I just can't take poking my eyes, and I have rather small eyes si it's harder to put them it. They're a pain in the butt!!


I don't know how I lived without my glasses. I missed so much about the world it's amazing. People with perfect vision really are lucky.... i'd do anything for perfect vision.

I have glasses, I want contacts though. My vision isn't too bad, I can see a little without my glasses on. I would LOVE to have perfect vision.

Knock on wood, my vision's excellent! I do need to get reading glasses though, as I'm starting to have trouble reading. I can usually spot a street sign way before my husband even knows there's a sign. No problems with long distance vision, that's for sure. I've heard the comment many times that I've got bionic vision, or Xray vision LOL! I'm getting up there in age though, so don't expect this to last forever.... darn! :rolleyes: :D

I have 20/20 vision but when I get my migraines, all I can see are blurs.

I have 20/20 vision, with no use or need of glasses and/or contacts. However, both of my parents wear glasses, and didn't need them until their College years.. so, there's still a chance I might need them.

I mostly wear contacts but I have glasses for when I want a break from them.
I am pretty blind. Without my glasses or contacts I can't read what's on the monitor, even if the print is set to large, from a normal distance away.

I much prefer my contacts to glasses. Everything is much clearer and sharper somehow. :)
