How's your vision?

[Miranda_Rae]

I wear glasses. I went months without getting them because I was stubborn. My correction is like 0.75, I think. I want to get contacts though. lol, my friend passed out when she put her contacts in for the first time!

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!!

Same here. One of my trial contacts kept falling out several times a day, so I finally gave up.

I'm near sighted so I have to wear my glasses all the time except when I'm reading. If I wear them then, I get a headache.

Same here, same here!

The contacts were so annoying for me. Especially since I couldn't just pop them on and off like I can my glasses when I needed to read something up close. I could hardly use my camera, which was driving me insane!!

They were especially annoying when I was tired and I had to screw with them to take them out.


I'd LOVE to have Lasik but it's too darn expensive.

I've worn glasses since I was 7. Finally in 1998, I got contacts and will NEVER go back!! I hate the feeling of looking thru a fishbowl with glasses. Next appointment, I'm looking into the 24 hr/7 contacts. You don't even have to take them out at night. My co-worker has these and loves them. She has to wear glasses once a month to give her eyes a break, though.

I have to use glasses when reading and on the computer... I usually don't though. My bad memory... lol

I just went into the dr. a few months ago. I found out I am farsided in one eye. The other eye is perfect. I am not allowed to drive anymore UNLESS I have my glasses on. He said my vision has been bad for a while and was suprised that I never noticed.

I only went in after I couldn't read a road sign even when I was right under it I couldn't make out the letters. During my eye test I thought that a B was a V for some reason and a D was a Q, hubby just kept saying holy crap can't you read? Lol.

Cubby - I'm the same way - except I'm nearsighted in one eye! The differences between my vision in my two eyes is huge. Close right eye, and I can read anything, even small print on far-away things. Close left eye - I can't see the "E" on the chart!

I usually wear one contact lens. Or my glasses if I'm lazy.

I'd love to get Lasik - I'd only have to pay for one eye!!

Glasses, blind as a bat without em, I want contacts but I cant wear them, I had them for one summer, but they made my eyes bloodshot, and they hurt, so I went back to glasses. but my vision is horrid, my eyes have changed like 2-5 steps every 6 months since 3rd grade, if I take off my glasses while sitting right in front of the computer here I cant make out a single thing.

[dogs_4_me]

Up to a couple months ago i had 20/20 vision. Then I started having horrible head aches and since then my vision hasn't been great.. I don't want glasses though!

[catnapper]

I am having soo many probnlems with my vision right now. I refuse to drive at night anymore. I'm ony 32 and feel like a little old lady being afraid to drive at night!

I habve just recently gone through a battery of tests - and for the THIRD time since January, I need yet another new eyeglass prescription. UGH. And no, nothing physically is wrong. I've had all the bloodtests and other tests done through the doctor to rule anything healthwise. The eyedoctor swears my eyes are healthy... then why is my vision so screwwy?

Sigh.. sorry to vent!

I could not vote because you left off the choice
for sometimes............

I wear reading glasses.
It's funny last year I did not even use my reading glasses.
This year I seem to be using them a lot.

[Cincy'sMom]

I wear glasses. I had contacts and stillwear them ocasionally, but for some reason they seem to make my allergies worse. Also, working ina chemistry lab, I have the fear of getting something in my eye and "melting" the contact. Plus, with regular glasses, i don't have to wear the dorky safety goggles

[ComedyDevil]

20/20 vision I'm lucky I know. I'm glad I don't have to wear glasses. For some reason, I feel physically sick when I wear glasses, not sure why I wouldn't mind contacts though, I've worn black ones to a party once and they were pretty cool

[jenfer]

I used to have 20/20 vision, but since I have been working my eye sight is not as good. I can still go by w/o glasses, but if I need to look at a big screen with words or such, I need my glasses to see. I blame it all on work.
