It was brought up in another thread, and we were just curious.

Both of us do.

I have poor vision, which sucks.

But it means I get sexy sexy glasses, which rocks!

I have glasses and contacts. Wearing at the same time produces fuzzy results so I usually wear one or the other.

Years of excessive Internet use has turned me into a total four-eyes.

Hey, you wanna go down to Lenscrafters and take an eye exam or somethin'?

Worn glasses since kindegarten. They're part of who I am so I don't really think about laser surgery or contacts or anything.

Michelle used to want them when she was little. She even tried to trick her parents into getting her a pair.

And now she needs them. 'Cause she can't freakin' see. And it sucks.

(They do look nice, though.

No, but I suspect I need them. Things at a distance are beginning to blur

I wear glasses because I don't trust birds.

Best reason ever.

I've worn glasses since I was 3.

Initially, my pre-school tried to hold me back a year and or put me into the "slow" class, because I wasn't coloring in the lines and I was getting upset. It turns out that I couldn't see the lines to color them. They gave me glasses, and now I'm planning to major in art - top of my class in high school...

Been wearing them since grade 6 (eleven or twelve). They've been bifocal lenses forever too. Originally because they could let me see a long way away (like I needed to) and so I could still wear them when writing at the desk.

Turns out apparently that was the wrong choice...and now I have to wear bifocals forever. It's not too bad though. Occasionally I lost the shuttlecock as it came over the net in badminton because they changed focus as I looked through both lenses...and occasionally the same has happened playing cricket. But I can see, so all's good.

I tried contacts but they were a bugger to put in.

I'd think about laser corrective stuff mainly because in my line of work I end up in the pool or what not with the kids regularly enough that wearing glasses in the water to see which little bugger is trying to crawl on my back can be a nuisance.

haven't had a need for glasses, yet; my eyesight's 20/15, tho everyone else in my family is well on their way to losing all eyesight completely. i think it was all those soccer balls smacking me about that has kept my eyes nice all these years

Me, too; my optometrist told me a few years back, "I'm sorry, but I think you're going to need glasses". I think he figured I was going to cry, but I was ecstactic, because I'd always wanted a pair.

I wear contacts most of the time. My vision's not quite bad enough that I can't live without them, but I need them to drive and watch TV effectively. I only wear glasses when I'm too lazy to put in my contacts.

I wear glasses since I was five.
Apart from nearsightedness, there's also a cilinder distorsion that can't be fixed with operation and makes it very tricky for me to wear lenses.
