Poll: are you bespectacled ?

I started wearing glasses when I was eight. 20 years later I can't even read normal print a foot away from my face. One eye is 500/20 the other is 800/20. The last time I went in for glasses I asked the doctor about contacts (I love doing cos-play and most people don't wear glasses), he said they would be expensive and would have to use hard lenses. As I can barely stand eye drops we decided this was not a good idea. I will be bespectacled for the rest of my life. Granted, I like wearing my glasses. In fact, once I took them off and was rubbing my eyes when my sister came into the room and started asking me who I was. I had to put my glasses back on for her to recognize me. One co-worker hates when I take off my glasses because my eyes readjusting creeps him out. So yeah, I wear glasses, but I like them.
Glasses, wire frame, no border... super light and they change with the daylight...
Been with my eye-wear since the middle of primary school... so what? like 12 years now... god I feel old.
I've had my glasses since...grade 7 when my teacher ruined my eyesight with needlessly loopy writing and a crappy chalkboard....so about 6 years.
in my area i would argue opposite, (not that it's a big deal nor matters in the slightest, hell most the girls look really cute with the glasses so no problems here) 1 in 8 of my guy friends has glasses while nearly 50% of girls i know where glasses or contacts.The_Decoy said:I do, and so do most of my friends who are guys, the girls don't however. Is there something that guys do that increases their propensity towards near or short sightedness?

Well done for not inheriting crappy genes? I must've only had like a one in four chance of getting shitty eyes, kinda bad luck :/J03bot said:
personally i have always had amazing vision and i love carrots so that tops it off right there, and a few of my friends that have good vision also do, i can stare at this computer screen in the dark until kingdom come and my eyes will be still sharp as can be.
Quite.
I recently got some fashionable titanium frames made by Oakley. I was thrilled to learn that someone was actually going out of their way to make eyeglasses more fashionable.
I had the opportunity to get ICLs (implanted collamer lenses, a type of surgical vision correction) a while back, and decided against it due to the potential for complications.
If I had one complaint against wearing glasses, it's that they limit your peripheral vision significantly, and if you plan on participating in a contact sport you'd better get a pair of safety goggles or learn to do without.
Either that or get contacts. Contacts don't have those problems (they have other problems, to be sure), but they definitely take some getting used to.

Yeah, I've been wearing glasses since I was about 8 years old (I'm 18 now, by the way). I guess all my sitting in front of the NES, N64, and The Science Channel (SCIENCE!) slowly did me in.
Yep, glasses wearer for 11 years now and I wouldn't have it any other way. Not that I can, fell into a goddamn fish bowl and cut a bit of my iris out. Oh yeah and then I had a cataract, in the same eye, and I'm only 15. My prescription is about a 7.5 in one eye and a -5.5 in the other.
