Poll: Do you wear glasses?

[Poetic Nova]

I chose: Yes, but only when working/going to class. But I have to ad that I also use my glasses when I gett a headache.

 

[SillySam]

Where's the option for 'Yes, I don't need them but I keep them on'

Without my glasses = VHS quality vision.

With glasses = Bluray

That was me three years ago!!
I have very dry eye and contacts give me really bad headaches and it was so bad that I would be nauseous by lunch.
I wanted to get LASIK but my cornea was too thin (or whatever) and opted for orthokeratology.
Orthokeratology was cool, but after partying/ studying overnight, I would be blind as a bat again.


then, I found a clinic that could do LASIK on me, and I just went for it.
Life is full HD Bluray to me now.
I got rid of my ten pairs of glasses and prescription sunglasses, my contact lenses, orthokeratology stuff.
It is a wonderful feeling to be able to see...

Also, I thought that not having to worry about contacts and glasses was a great thing after experiencing the earthquake in Japan in 2011.
I dont have to worry about running out of contacts, I dont have to worry about the lack of doctors etc.

I voted "Yes, blind as a bat". I wear them when I leave the house or those few occasions I watch telly or play on my consoles. I don't need them for reading or sitting at the computer; in fact it's uncomfortable to wear them then.

And it took me FOREVER to get glasses. I've needed them since I was like 16, but I didn't get them until I was 26. Couldn't be arsed, although now I don't understand how I survived without them when out in public. I CAN SEE DETAILS! Glory be! =´D

 

[Vicarious Reality]

I am pretty badly myopic, i see nothing clearly without glasses farther away than armlength
Butt, i never use them unless i ''work or go to class'' which i interpret as meaning reading things, driving a car, using small objects at various ranges
Gonna leave them at home now when i go to the hospital to buy pain cream

 

[Fuzzed]

I can't read the title of this thread too good. Can anyone tell me what it says?

 

[NathLines]

I see just fine, but I wear glasses all the time. I get a head ache otherwise.

 

[Daniel Janhagen]

I see well enough without them, but with the amount of reading, driving, watching screens of various kinds that one does in a standard modern day, it's just more convenient to always have them on. They do make me see better, after all, and that's rarely a bad thing.
I'd take them off to do contact sports or something, but otherwise they stay on.

 

[Idlemessiah]

I'm pretty damn blind. If I take them off and pull this page up to max zoom, I still can't read it and I'm only a foot away from the monitor.

Ok I just measured. For things to be perfectly clear, they have to be 7 inches from my face or closer. Any further than that and things get blurry. After a foot all I see is coloured shapes, no detail whatsoever.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

I only wear glasses home. If I go out, 99% of the time I put the contacts. Nothing cosmetic about it, but the prescription for my glasses is older than my contacts', and I'm practically blind without them.

 

[Genocidicles]

I have a pair but I never wear them. I find them really uncomfortable. I briefly switched to contact lenses which were even more uncomfortable.

I'll be getting laser eye surgery as soon as I have some money. I hate wearing glasses.

 

[juyunseen]

I'm fine without glasses. 20/13 vision over here.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Yeah, without them I can't see at a distance for shit. I can get around easy without them but I can't read anything past about a foot.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

I do wear glasses but my eyes are funny, they are both different levels of vision and my left eye as a stigmata or whatever its called

 

[SadisticBrownie]

Just when driving. I'm not certain they make a difference really. Only got them so I could read number plates for my test.

 

[Murais]

No. And I curse my 20/25 vision every day because I look pretty sexy in glasses, but I'm nowhere near douchey enough to wear a pair with the lenses punched out.

 

[kasperbbs]

I wear them at home and at work, i could easily manage without them, but it sometimes gets annoying when i need to search for randomly placed stuff by their barcode numbers and it might just be placed 6 meters high.

 

[Malty Milk Whistle]

I don't wear any, But I should get myself tested, because I'm REALLY shortsighted.

 

[Xukog]

Always,things turn into blurry shapes if they are more a couple feet away without them. Hell,If I take them off, I can almost see the outline of my glasses where they used to be

 

[laetificat]

I only wear them when I'm behind the computer or in class, I can see without my glasses but I'll need to squeeze my eyes. I also see better than the average person with my glasses, meaning I used to have great eyes when I was little and they went to shit really fast.
