Do you have glasses?

**slick** · 09-28-2005, 09:26 AM

I've worn glasses since I was 10 yrs old. I tried contact lenses years ago but to me, they are too fiddly and delicate. My eyes are so bad that I need to put them on if I get up in the middle of the night.

I wear glasses

. It runs in my family...I'm begging my mom to get me contacts, maybe I'll get them soon. I've had mine since I was 9. They aren't so bad....I still wish I had contacts though.

I've worn some form of corrective lenses since I was 2 years old. Bad eyesight runs pretty heavily in my family.

I wore contact lenses for 10 years but recently went back to glasses because they are easier to work with with a baby.

No glasses here, thank God! My mom is almost legally blind, dad was near sighted and and my brother is totally blind, but yet, I have 20/15 vision. Go figure

I always feel for people with glasses because I used to take my vision for granted. Now all my co-workers spent lots of $$$ to get lasik, etc. Now, I'm grateful for my vision.

I have glasses since I was 12, but I started using contacts last year, and I have them most of the time

Wearing glasses is a family thing here. My dad and my sister wear them, and my mum started using glasses for reading this year.....

I have glasses, but I wear contacts 95% of the time!

I HAVE glasses but wear contacts all the time.

I have reading glasses only which I got in my early forty's, long sighted, the usual thing as you get older, but I am in dire need of new ones.

I mostly wear contacts. I only usually wear my glasses when I first wake up in the morning to take the dogs outside before I put my contacts in.
I really don't like wearing glasses, I much prefer contacts.

I had them from about 5-8 and then they told me I didn't need them anymore then at 12 they told me I did....I just got contacts about a year ago and I LOVE them, much much better than glasses I think.

One eye is 20/20, one eye is a slight bit blurry so sometimes I use my glasses to read, but they really don't serve a purpose. Here they are.

Wow, a lot of us have glasses I guess! I knew a lot of people had them, but i didnt think this many did! Wow! O well, a lot of people look 95% better with glasses on, i dont, everyone tells me I look like a teacher.

Been wearing contacts for 30 years. Blind as a bat and not eligible for laser surgery! I wear a soft lens in the left eye and a gas permiable in the right (better vision) Wear glasses when I get up and right before bed. Always wear reading glasses. I love trying on frames but they look so different once the thick lenses are put in.

Oh, but those frames are so cute!! Sheesh, if I were you I'd be wearing them all the time!

But then again, I'm a nerd, and I have a thing for plastic frames.

I had good eyesight until I hit about 40! That was about the time they started making all of the print smaller!

So I started with reading glasses, now I wear bifocals. I wear them to work, and reading glasses on the computer, then the rest of the time I can see good enough to get around without them!
