Certainly do! Though I wear contact lenses as often as possible because my glasses are nasty and I don't want to spring for new ones!

Witness the horror....

Same. I wear them to school because I'm nearsighted and can't see the board otherwise. But on the weekends and just generally I don't wear them because I dislike how I look with them, and it's not like I'm blind without them on.
 
I've worn glasses everyday of my life since I was 8 years old. Wore contacts for a few years but my eyes rejected them after a while. I'm terribly blind without them.

I hated glasses for the longest time but now they're trendy and cute looking so I like them :)
 
Blind as a bat without them, and so wear them all the time. I don't especially like the idea of contacts, and glasses are such a part of me now that I never think about it.

I've worn them since I was about 9 or 10, and although I hated them at the start, and merely tolerated them for a while, I can't imagine not wearing them even when I was only a bit short-sighted. From the minute I put them on everything was so much sharper, and I've worn them since. I hate seeing things all blurry.
 
I put yes.

But I wear contacts, not glasses. XP

But I wear my contacts all the type, except when sleeping....

Blind as a bat (-5.25 both eyes). Contacts, glasses, or a well-trained dog is a must for me.

Not quite as bad as me, -6.50 both eyes and -1.25 and .75 astigmatism :(
It's getting worse everyday and I am still in school.... sniff....

I've got an eye Dr. appt in November and I'm thinking about trying something different. Someone told me these were really good.

Those looks really cool, expecially the night and day one... 30 days of no cleaning contacts! But when are they going to make one like that for people that is almost blind and also have astigmatism. :eek:
 
If I don't have glasses on i'm either wearing contacts or asleep. Seriously. I can see about 2.5-10" in front of me and that's it. it used to be better....i remember when I barely needed glasses. Photography didn't help, staring through the viewfinder for over 20,000 shots in a year seems to have contributed to the right eye suddenly going from worsening in line with the left to worsening 3-4x faster than the left. Now at R-3.75 L-3.25, R probably needs a 4.00 or worse about now.

My glasses are black flexon selects by marchon.
 
you guys should try CRT lenses. I think that's short for corenal refractive therapy lenses that reshape your cornea while you sleep. After the first week, my vision in the morning was 20/15, BETTER than 20/20. But if you stop wearing them, you will lose your vision and it will go back to before. So basically its like the vision of contact lenses without the irritation or risk of lasik surgery.
 
I've been wearing glasses since I was a toddler. I wore them until the 9th grade, when I got contact lenses. I've worn contact lenses until last winter, when I decided to start wearing my glasses. I hadn't worn them up until then, because my eyes are very sensitve to sunlight, and I need to wear sunglasses. So I had to save up and buy prescription sunglasses.

Anyway, I started wearing my glasses (and grew a goatee), and several women told me I look really, really good, so I continue to wear them :) Of course, it helps that my wife likes them as well.

I stil wear contacts on occasion, buy my eyes feel much better without them.

Type of glasses worn: Tilights. LOVE THEM. They weigh almost nothing. Sunglasses: Have no idea. But I got the anti glare/UV protection. Great for wearing while fishing.
 
I haven't worn glasses for years. After surgery.
Before I didn't see my fingers or toes.
 
yup, been wearing them since 6th grade... I may need new frames soon though, if I keep mistreating these ones (had them four years now). The number of times they've been hit, sat on, stepped on, or abused in some other way is stunning.

Also today for the first time I seriously considered getting contacts. I started crew this year, and we were rowing in the rain and my glasses kept getting covered in rain, fogging up, and falling down my nose. It was not fun. But I need them to see the person in front of me, and I couldn't exactly stop rowing to fix them... just no good.
 
I don't wear glasses but I did when I was about 12 and they didn't help my astigmatism so they were worse than nothing.

I suspect that I will need them to read the sign to get my senior citizen discount, so I may get them at that time. :D

Hehe, do you need to see the person in front of you in crew? He's not going anywhere. :D
