I have never needed glasses. My vision is actually a fair bit above the norm. I always figured glasses just felt odd to wear...

Nonsense, I think glasses are totally hot pretty cute. I'm not saying everyone with glasses is cute, but it can be cute, y'know.

I've always felt left out of nerd groups because I've never needed glasses at all. Although even if I needed glasses, I'd probably opt for contact lenses, 'cause I look retarded in glasses.

Is it just me, or people with glasses look more intelligent?

I´ve had glasses since 15 years back or something. I`m damn near-sighted. I wouldn´t have anything against lenses if it wasn´t for that if I drop them I won´t be able to find the darn things.

And they can be troublesome in other ways too.

Well... Ive had glasses for... forever

I mean, my vision isnt bad, but I just cant function as well as I should without them (-4.00, -4.00). Im the (x) sighted in which everything else is blurry, not the things close up.

I have contacts, I just dont wear them that often...

People say I look two years older without my glasses... and I agree with them. Maybe I should wear contacts more often

I've had glasses since I was in 5th grade. It started out as +1.25/+1.50 and now I'm at +3.50/+3.75. I don't think I'll ever get LASIK nor contacts since I feel I look better with glasses than without.

Same here. I've had glasses since I was 7, and even then, my eyesight still continues to deteriorate (+4.25/+4.25 when I first got them, +10.25/+10.50 now)

Although I am going to get laser surgery later on, to stop me from becoming blind, and to finally ditch the glasses (for a few years, anyway-- it's genetic and can't be stopped AFAIK.)

My vision on the left eye is perfect, yet the right eye sucks. I have 60% on it with glasses and less without them. Means I can't get a driver's license without an extra test.

Objects in the distance and at night are not as defined as before. I do wear them all the time but their main purpose is for distance and at night.


This post would be just as true for me if you switch "a few months ago" to "a few years ago".


Though my eyes have gotten a little worse since then, I've gotten a stronger prescription.

I wore glasses (nearsighted) for a few years and I never got used to them. Recently I switched to contacts, which are working out wonderfully. I wish I had done so sooner.

My eyesight is excellent and hasn't been impaired by hours of computer screen staring. However bright light offends my eyes, so I often wear sunglasses without magnification.

I have both reading glasses (for astigmatism) and glasses for distance. I don't really need the reading glasses unless I know I'll be reading for a long time, in which case I'll get a really bad headache if I don't have them on. I need my distance glasses at school though, I can't read the white board without them. I've had them for a few years, so I feel fine either way... with or without them.

I've had glasses since I was in the third grade. I wear them all the time since then since my vision sucks badly without them.

I also have a bad habit of not cleaning them very often. They get dirty enough to the point where someone notices that my glasses need cleaning when they are talking to me.

The last time I cleaned my glasses was in July, I think.

I still wear glasses even after I had two eye surgeries last year.

The operation left me with different vision on both eyes since one of them was more damaged than the other and so they had to use different procedures. The purpose of the operation was to stop my eyesight from getting worse.

The only times that I wear glasses is to see places that are far away. But still, my eyesight is decent without glasses.

I've had glasses for a long time. If I'm not wearing them I feel really weird and sometimes try to wipe my glasses and end up poking my eyes.
