Do you wear glasses/contacts?

[sumbirdy]

I'm supposed to wear glasses but... I usually only wear them when I absoulutely need them. I can't see very far away and I can't stand to put anything close to my eyes so I won't wear contacts.

[GreyhoundGirl]

nope (*looks up* thank you! )

[jenluckenbach]

YES! I can't see ANYTHING otherwise

I've been wearing glasses since I was 3. My left eye was lazy and turned in. Adorable, right? I had to wear patches over it and switch it between eyes to make my left one stronger.

I can't see far away - I still wear glasses today - I hate contacts. Because I'm very good about wearing my glasses and only have them off when I sleep or when I'm swimming, my eyes have improved dramatically and I really don't understand why I still need them - but I'll wear them until the day the optometrist says I don't need them anymore!

I have glasses, but don't wear them all the time. They are needed for distance, but not for reading or looking at the computer screen.

Yes - and in my case "far away" means anything further than about an inch from my nose. I have worn glasses since the summer I turned 9 years old, not only am I extremely near-sighted, but I have an astigmatism in each eye. So without my glasses, not only are you blurry, but there's maybe four of you overlapping each other!

[Kfamr]

Yes, and I wear them very proudly. I love my glasses and couldn't imagine my face without them. I despise contacts!

[Chilli]

Yeh, I can't see far away clearly at all. =] Though this only became a problem 2-3 years ago.
I wear contacts, as I can't stand glasses. I tried to wear glasses, but I hate it when you look out of the corner of your eye and everything is suddenly blurry again.
Soooo.. Contacts for me!

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I wear glasses all the time (can't see well far away). I've never tried contacts, and probably never will because I don't think I'd be able to put them in or take them out easily.

I voted no because none of the options apply to me. I wear glasses but they dont have a perscription to them, they are juat clear polycarbonate lenses with the transitions lenses. I have to wear them, because i am 90% blind in my right eye, so they are purely for protection. I forget to wear them sometimes, but try very hard not to. If i got something in my good eye I would be in horrid shape. One time while driving i got something in my good eye, and had to pull over and try to get it out! I was frantic, thsnkfully it was just a speck of dirt! but boy was i panicking!! It sucks but i have learned to adjust!!

[Pam]

Glad I could vote twice as my left eye sees up close and my right eye sees at a distance so I wear them for near and far. I can actually see pretty well without them since I have one eye doing each job but if I read too long without them on I get headaches.

Where's both??? I have needed corrective lenses since I was a child -- for seeing in the distance. As with most people, I now need magnification to read comfortably (and if it is dark...to read at all!)

I wear contacts. I have never worn glasses. On the rare occasion I wear glasses, I feel vulnerable and I don't see near as well as with contacts. I put my contacts in when I get up in the morning and take them out when I get ready to sleep.

First I couldn't see close up, once I hit 40 . Now I can't see far away either. I asked the eye doctor if I was going blind, he assured me it wasn't that bad. I wear bifocals.

[Kalei]

Nope, thank goodness, but if I had to wear glasses I would no prob, they look good on alot people!

[Uabassoon]

I love wearing my glasses, I think they add to my style/personality. I also have contacts but I don't like the way I look without my glasses on so I usually only wear them for sports.
