    Default Do you wear glasses/contacts?

    I have such shit vision, -3.5 in one eye and -3.75 in the other (or something like that), and astigmatism in both. I have glasses, but I prefer to wear contacts most of the time.

    I'm myopic. I wear glasses and they keep getting thicker every year. It could be due, at least in part, to the healthy amount of reading I did as a child.

    I have astigmatism in both eyes and I am also nearsighted. I wear glasses out of convenience because if I wore contacts, when at work, I would have to wear safety glasses anyway.

    Yep and yep since I'm myopic.

    But I don't need glasses to read! Woot! Not bad for over 40 (and then some)!

    I have had keratoconus for 9 years now. I have been wearing contacts in order to see and read for the past 8 years... My left eye is blind. my right is so-so =/ without the lenses my vision is similar to seeing something like below, but more distorted.



    I have astigmatisms too as a side effect. I'm also photosensitive, and also have diplopia even with the lenses in to correct my visual acuity. I've also had about 11 Corneal Hydrops over the last 4 years...

    I use spectacles for work and reading. I had perfect sight before I started working on a computer. The deterioration was rapid.

    Contact lenses, I am odd looking as it is, never mind with some specs added onto that.

    I have worn glasses for the past eight years, though I probably needed them sooner in life. I always thought my vision was pretty good, but the optometrist told me otherwise.

    I envy Aemma, who doesn't need glasses to read.

    Nope. My eye sight is still good.



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    I have myopia, but I think it's not progressing anymore, been using the same lens for over two years and don't need new ones at all.
