How many of you wear glasses/ contacts?

So how many of you wear glasses or contacts everyday?

I used to have glasses that I had to wear watching tv etc but on Tuesday I picked up my new prescription glasses that I have to wear driving, reading, using the computer etc.

I'm shocked at the difference tbh. My new glasses are the business, the world is a less fuzzy place

Glasses for reading this last year or so.

Thou shalt always put a poll up whenever requesting what number of boardsies have/do/say/think something.

Also, yes, glasses. Although lens in one eye, glass in the other. So I should be using a monocle.

Everyone should wear rose tinted glasses....

I have super perfect vision. Can see farther than most people and can read signs from a long way away

I don't have much else in my life to be proud of.

Glasses, to be worn during all the time, since I was 5.

Glasses since I was 9, needed them well before that. Was the same for my mum, unfortunately one of the few traits she passed down.

Short sighted so wear glasses/contacts all the time. I could manage without them but I feel uncomfortable being outside and not being able to see properly

Can you read this one for me, I can’t quite make it out?

Red Alert · 09-06-2011 10:42PM

Glasses intermittently since I was 16, and permanently from about age-20 onwards. I'm 27 now.

Being wearing glasses all the time for the last few years, I'll probably consider laser surgery in a few years, but the though of it scares the sh1te outta me.

Go up to "Thread tools" and you can still add a poll.

The Princess Bride · 09-06-2011 10:43PM

wear contacts- would consider laser surgery except all opthaleye doctors I've ever met have worn glasses,so that didn't exactly persuade me:(

Teddy_Picker · 09-06-2011 10:44PM

Another full-time glasses wearer, v.v. shortsighted, couldn't really negotiate through a day, even dossin' about the house, without them!

flyaway. · 09-06-2011 10:49PM

I used to only have to wear them for the board at school and stuff, but now I wear them full time.

non glasses wearer btw

Glasses/contacts for long distance. Don't really need them unless I'm driving but tend to wear the glasses most of the time anyway. Details are clearer with them on.

emeraldstar · 09-06-2011 10:59PM

Contact lenses constantly. Actually I'd say my glasses must be at least five prescriptions old at this stage.

wolf moon · 09-06-2011 11:01PM

i wear contacts everyday.
glasses occasionally. very occasionally.

Cupcake_Crisis · 09-06-2011 11:04PM

Glasses for reading and for when im on el compooper

phasers · 09-06-2011 11:06PM

I need glasses for reading, driving, watching TV and using the computer.

Which is basically all I do so I wear them constantly. I love my glasses.

alexlyons · 09-06-2011 11:07PM

were them just for reading and for seeing things

Abi · 09-06-2011 11:09PM

I started wearing glasses in my teens, found it very hard to adjust / remember to put them on. Originally they were for reading, computers etc., but it would be fair to say that I need them all the time now. I still forget to put them on though. I've gotten used to everything being all fuzzies =/

kfallon · 09-06-2011 11:13PM

Don't wear glasses or contacts....so it just goes to show that **** does not impair your vision :pac:

brimal · 09-06-2011 11:13PM

Contacts for about 12 years. Wear glasses sometimes.

If anyone who wears glasses has never tried contact lenses, I recommend you try them, they are amazing.

barbarians · 09-06-2011 11:14PM

Needed glasses since I was nine years old, now need to wear them all the time except for reading book/newspaper.

Wear contacts for nights out, sport or other things where the contacts just offer more freedom and wouldn't be getting in the way.

Will seriously consider laser eye surgery when I'm older (now 16) but the I'm happy with glasses and contacts for now.

Also, I'm -5.25 in both eyes. How do other boardsies match against that ? Better or worse ? :P

Absurdum · 09-06-2011 11:15PM

blind as a bat, -6.0 in both eyes and astygmatism, wear contacts whenever I need to but the bastard things are expensive (~€70 for 30 pairs)

still thinking of the laser eye thing

sean1141 · 09-06-2011 11:17PM
