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.
I wear contacts, I uses to use glasses but imlost them too often. Contacts are harder to lose because their stuck to your eyeballs, and they are cheaper to replace. That said their a ***** during alergy season.
I honestly think girls with glasses are sexy.

I am technically nearsighted, but I passed my driving test without my glasses (I don't use contacts), so I rarely wear them unless I want to look intelligent or see something in the far distance.
That is a bit reassuring. =]voorhees123 said:Contacts are fine, you just got to get your eye used to having something stuck in them. Took me a while to get used to them as my eye kept shutting every time my finger went near it. As for sleeping in them, it doesnt matter much, just they dry out and can stick (for want of a better word) but can be removed without much issue. Mostly you just blink your eyes to get the tear ducts working or add some drops to them to soften then and they pop out normally. Its good to keep glasses as well. I wore contacts while on a flight from UK to Florida, plane got delayed and someone was ill. By the time i got their i had been awake almost 28 hours. My eyes were so bloodshot that i could have been a zombie.sky14kemea said:So its good to wear both, if indoors then wear glasses. If you sleep in your contacts, no big deal, but it can make your eyes bloodshot. But its very rare that you would sleep in them.
You have nothing to worry about.
Do they tend to fall out a lot? Or is that just a joke they use too much on sitcoms and stuff. :/
