Guys and girls, do you need glasses?

[Anonymous]

If so, do you wear them?

Or do you prefer contacts?

My eyesight isn't too bad but glasses do help a lot when it comes to things like driving, watching movies, etc.

I could never deal with contacts...

I mainly wear glasses.

I mainly wear contacts.

I mix it up and use both.

I wear big hipster glasses and pretend I'm a nerd who finds Kant stimulating although shallow and pedantic.

Oh, and also - would you guys consider Lasik corrective eye surgery?

[Ugliness]

I'm nearsighted and always wear glasses.

I have no left peripheral vision and was told by the neurosurgeon that it cannot be repaired.

I have to live with it. Glasses can't fix it. Surgery can't fix it. Tough noogies.

My words, not his.

I was probably about nine when I got my glasses.

My daughter was the lucky one. She was 10 months old when she got her first tiny eyeglasses.

People used to say "Oh she looks so CUTE in those little glasses"

Um, excuse me? She didn't get them to look CUTE! The nerve of some people.

We wanted to give ther the opportunity we never got at that age. The doctor quickly diagnosed her as farsighted.

I'm not much for poking myself in the eye. I couldn't do contacts.

Eye surgery. I was told I wouldn't be much of a candiate and it won't make things much better.

And apparently it's not generally covered until the provincial health plan so I'd have to pay for it.

I don't have that kind of money.

I don't wear them unless I'm driving or sitting in lecture. I have considered Lasik surgery and I'm uncertain about it at this point in time.

I wear glasses all the time now, I had to get them because I couldn't pass the eye exam to get my driver's license :p

I used to just wear them while driving cause it's only the street signs that I can't see. But it got annoying to keep putting them on and taking them off, so I slowly started wearing them more often. I can still go places and see things without them, but it's uncomfortable to look far away because it's kinda blurry.

I would like contacts but I'd be scared to try them and they seem like they can be a pain.. but then glasses get annoying too sometimes lol. I would definitely like to get lasik if I could afford it!

[mormollio]

I do, I'm near sighted. I stopped wearing glasses for about a year and my vision got really bad. Even a few feet away is blurry for me now :/

I generally don't like things on my face so I don't wear my glasses 24/7. When I'm at school walkin' through the hallways I don't wear them. I have contacts, but I don't really like those either because I can feel them and it irritates me. Plus I like taking my glasses off and having everything blurry, then I just zone out. :l

[mormollio]

Nah, I'm fine with what I have

[tc231]

Contacts are the best! I switched over a few months ago and I will never go back. They are worth the extra time and cost compared to glasses.

There is a bit of a learning curve with them, but they're so simple now I can't believe I was ever scared of them. I don't even like wearing my glasses anymore. There have a been a couple of times where my eyes have been a little irritated, but it's never that bad. I oftentimes will wear my glasses when I'm hanging at home on a Sunday so I can give my eyes a chance to breathe.

You get a lot more male attention without glasses, if that matters to you at all.

I wear glasses for reading, computer work, or anything else up close. I'm a bit farsighted. It would not be practical for me to bother with contacts though, since I wouldn't need them all the time, just when I am looking at something close for a few minutes or more.

[ericneo]

Do you need glasses? Probably, reading is difficult with constant static in my eyesight, but colored ink, paper and highlighters do help.

[Etylliphia]

I use glasses but not contacts because a few of my friends say that contacts are uncomfortable and take a while to put in place. My eyesight is terrible - I wouldn't be able to clearly see the television even two metres away from it.

[Silv3r]

im wearing contacts. I'm legally blind without them. I still have bad vision though. the doc can't correct it anymore. id consider lasik. but my eyes are sensitive. not sure if I could stare into a laser while it sliced open my eye.

[stevo2]

I'm supposed to be wearing them actually, but I'm not. I have to wear prescription eye glasses to read. One eye sees better than the other one.

[rachel05]

i;ve been having issues with contacts to soon i;ll be switching to mainly glasses for my eye's sake.. but I'll wear contacts on like special occasion or pics, etc.

[rachel05]

contacts, so soon*

[TheGodEmperorLeto]

where's the "I wear no glasses and my eye sight is likely superior to yours" option? -_q

[Asker]

Well I made this just for people whose eyesight isn't perfect D:

The last option is sort of that option, haha. Those glasses aren't real..!

[TheGodEmperorLeto]

But I don't wear those glasses cause hipsters are lame.

[Ugliness]

Hipsters, aren't they belt clips that you wear at the hip?

[Hazel63]

I wear contacts mostly but I wear my glasses when I am at home or if I had stayed up the night before . It helps hide the under eye circles! B)

[Beautifiedgirl123]

I wear both contacts and glasses. I wear contacts when I'm out but glasses at home and only when I'm watching TV or something so not all the time

[sephora]

I wear glasses because I am nearsighted. lol, but I would like to try to wear contacts.

[Asker]

I've never tried them either but I always hear such terrible things about them. But then people just go on using them even though they hurt their eyes if they accidentally fall asleep with them in or something... doesn't make any sense! I feel like glasses are just so much easier.

[Moonie]

I need to wear glasses. My eyesight is so poor I'm not allowed to drive o_o' Or something ;-;'

[gotnerd]

Wait..I have large glasses too.

[tonyfresh]

i need them,but I hate using them!
