So, I'm going to ask about 2 statuses. Glasses and heavy gamer. I want to see if heavy gamers are more likely to have glasses or not.

(Heavy gamer >20 hours a week)

In Year 8, my Maths class made a table on the minutes you spend gaming. I spend about 1500, which is roughly 24 hours gaming. I was by far the highest there. Maybe because I was in B (yeh, my school started having graded classes since Year 8)... And I'm short-sighted. I'm 2 in my left, and 3 in my right. At this rate, I'm proably getting to about 5 or 6 before I stop. It's just gaming is so addictive.

Contacts, but, either way, I still need "corrective lenses" - but, I don't know if games had anything to do with this, when I was young (about, 5 or 6) I just became nearsighted, and I didn't spend that much time with my SNES, or watch T.V. up close.

I do not wear galsses but I think with my long hair they would look pretty swell.

Why is it that you want to know if we wear glasses. Is it something to do with they amount of time we spend looking at a screen. I think I would play for maybe18 hours a week, depending on the amount of homework I have.

No glasses, but I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with my eyes. Can't focus on far away things for that long. Maybe it's just the pollution, who knows.

I'm far sighted, always have been since about 10-ish, long before I played video games for any amount that could be classified as heavy.

At first it was for 'as you need them', but due to laziness, I now have to wear them all the time. It's been over two years since I had to update my prescription though, so it seems my eyes have gotten as bad as they'll get. For now.

Yep i wear glasses, however glasses are pretty much prevalent in my whole family even though I'm the only heavy gamer so i would guess they're unrelated.

Damn... I'm a very heavy gamer and I can barely read anything thats over 3 metres away from me. I need some glasses soon.
In fact, alot of the time I find myself getting dizzy and about an hour later I get serious nausea, though I guess my no-lifing hasn't helped in any shape or form.

I wear glasses, used to have perfect vision though. I blame staring at the sun as a kid, and I'm going to get laser eye surgery when I'm 18. Nearsighted.

Interesting topic... I am a heavy gamer with no glasses, though for all I know I may need them. I don't have any eyesight problems, though.

Yeah, contacts here. I have near-sightedness. Started when I was 10 or 11, I think. It's only gotten worse with the years.

I just wanna point this out. As it stands, the current majority is Heavy, glasses, nearsighted.

I forgot. I do have glasses. Started after gaming.

i am almost certain computers caused my shortsightedness. The only history in my family has been long sightedness and my yes were always great until i started using computer screens a lot.

I am borderline heavy/light gamer.

Also it was not a gradual thing. My vision got bad fast so i am guessing the stress of screens caused this.

It's not much of a surprise that heavy gaming causes short sightedness now is it?

Have needed glasses since before my gaming addiction set in, and family has a history of bad eyesight, I personally blame our ancestors for all that time spent outside in the sun playing....
