How many of you do wear glasses or contacts? Options

[Jakobe]

I think a lot ofpeople have to wear glasses or contacts. I do it myself. Do you wearany kind of eyewear? and how strong a presciption do you need?
my glasses are -7 and my contacts are -6

[voguelove]

^..oh my. your eyesight sucks.

i wear glasses only when im at home, reading the board, playing my viola, or when im at musical practice.

my left eye is -2.75 and my right eye is -2.5

im getting corrective surgery in a few years, though.

[me1issaaaa]

I wear contacts. My eyes are both -4.50 I think. I'm blind without my contacts
I'm pretty sure there's another topic on this, but it's probably really old.

[unconfirmed_exis...]

I have glasses, reading glasses though!
I only need them to read off the board
if I sit far away.

[*Sephora.*]

I used to wear glasses, but I don't really need them.

[Jeng]

I wear glasses and uhm i think my eyes are like 2.25 in one eye and I don't know the other >.<, I'm nearsighted.

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

I wear glasses and sometimes I wear contacts. Depends on what I'm in the mood for, haha. I don't know what my eyes are though. I can make out shapes without them, but I can't read things far away. My mom and I wear glasses but my dad and brother don't have eye problems. -shrug-

[iDecay]

I don't. I got good vision.

Moved to health.

[angelrevelation]

I wear contacts. not sure what the prescription is. a 2 or something?

[mznikki]

i have glasses for distance. my right eye is weaker than my left, but i don't use them. its not a strong perscription at all.

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

I have perfect eyesight.
It's kinda weird though, because everyone in my family except me and my little brother have glasses.

[jennyjenny]

my contacts are -7.0 but i think my glasses aren't that bad... i got new ones but they're so thick that i can't really see out of them so i don't use them

[mai_z]

I wear both, (not together) But my friend's dad has to wear both together so his glasses aren't that thick. My contacts are 3.25

[espressive]

I wear Ortho-K.

They're similar to hard contacts, but designed for the night. I put them in when I'm going to sleep and I take them out in the morning - then I can see! It's so much better than glasses or regular contacts (been there, done those) and I absolutely love them! It's getting more popular now, and I can definitely see why. I would recommend this to anybody with a prescription.

[michellerrific]

I wear both. My right eye is worse than my left though. They're like -4 or something like that, i'm actually not quite sure.

[breakingdawn]

I wear contacts... my left eye is 4 and my right is 4.25

I think I need a new prescription though

[sprezzatura]

I don't wear any. My vision is perfectly 20/20. =)

[*AngelicEyz00*]

I wear glasses. I need to get me some contacts.

[akjsd]

-

[priyas]

i wear contacts :]

i wear glasses at night.

[*mzkandi*]

I have glasses at moment because I got tired of dealing with contacts and them going dry on me at random times during the day. I don't know what my prescription is off the top of my head but I do know that my right eye is stronger than the left.

[datass]

I wear contacts..they can get so dry it sucks. Left eye: -2.00 Right eye: -1.75

[espressive]

wait. so you put these contacts on at night and you can sleep in them and it won't damage your eyes? And then you can see perfectly the next day, for the whole day?? And it doesn't matter how bad your prescription is ??? how much does it cost??? i want it!

Yeah. You put them in before you go to sleep, take them out when you wake up in the morning. They want you to have the contacts in for at least 7 hours to be able to see clearly for the rest of the day (24 hours). Because this is not a permanent solution to nearsightedness/farsightedness, the effectiveness of the contacts decreases throughout the day, but not drastically. I can still see clearly by nightime, but there is a slight difference, though hardly noticeable.

Basically, if you're on a routinely schedule, give or take a few hours everyday, these contacts will work just fine. I do this routine everyday and it's not much different than regular contacts. However, if your prescription is under 150 or something, I think you only have to sleep with the contacts in every other day, cause my sister's prescription isn't as bad as mine - that's what she does.[/font][font="Trebuchet"]

Here's a link for more information: Ortho K

[*My Cinderella.*]

All I know is, I'm really blind. I wear glasses at night and contacts all the other time.

Both eyes: -3.75

[hmm_dragon]

[Drama4Ever]

I have to wear distance glasses. I used to be longsighted and have to wear glasses for things close up. Now I have to wear them because I'm shortsighted and for things in the distance. Not too sure what prescription I am or anything

[Detective]

I also have to wear distant glasses.

[xhidethedetails]

I have glasses for seeing distances but I never wear them.
I'm hopeing to get contacts sometime this week.

[*stephinika*]

I wear contacts on a daily basis, and glasses at night or when I don't feel like wearing contacts (which isn't that often) but yeah...I have absolutely terrible eyesight. Something like 8.0 or whatever...I don't remember exactly how it works, haha but I know I'm at 8 something...

[danifibble]

i wear both glasses and contacts.. although lately i've been too lazy to put in my contacts.. but yeah i'm -4.75 both eyes

[NYCin2009]

I wear contacts and glasses sometimes.

6.0 and -3.5 or maybe it's -6.0 and 3.5. I don't feel like getting my boxes now. But have an astigmatism and wear accuvue.

i've only been wearing contacts for a year and a half, but have gotten used to them very well and have grown fond of them.

sometimes they are really annoying but for the most part i like them more than glases.

As soon as a i turn 18 i will definitely try to get lasik.

[concreteangel]

I wear both. I mainly wear my glasses at night though. I've had glasses since X-Mas break my 2nd grade year.
My eyesight is horrible.
My contacts are -5.00
and my glasses are -5.25

[BrokenDream]

I only use my glasses when I need to see the board at school. I'm sorta nearsighted.

[NgocQuyen]

most the time i'm in my glasses because i'm too lazy to put in my contacts. lol i do wear contacts sometimes though. ;)

[YourSuperior]

I wear glasses at school when I can't see the marker board, or the teacher lol.

[laxumaster8]

i wear contacts all day and glasses at night

[trulyandnever]

Glasses for seeing the board and long distance things.
I remember I misread "load stop" for "local shop" once.
The sign was pretty far away though.
Dont wear them much, but theyre ok.

[falsetigerlimbs]

My contacts are -7.00, both eyes.

[PuppyChan]

I wear glasses but I'd NEVER wear contacts. I'm too much of a wimp to even try them

[HelloSunshine]

My eyes are really bad.
R:-3.75
L:-4.25

And, they're getting wooorrseee. I need a new prescription
I'm definitely getting the surgery when I'm old enough.

I wear contacts and glasses. I miss having 20/20 vision.

[LennonLime]

Contacts during the day, glasses at night. I'm blind, though. it's pretty bad.

My dad's worse though. with out his galsses, he's legally blind. No lie. He could get a seeing eye dog and everything

[*steve330*]

I've got 20/15 vision, I'm set.

[brownbyea]

What about these?:
Link Removed--Mercy

[Rachel]

I go back and forth. I like the way I look in both. Ohhh, I am actually getting new glasses after I get back in town :) yayay

[*exhilaration*]

[LisaM2007]

[Eryi]

I wear glasses. My parent's won't buy me contacts.
My eyesight sucks, it gets worse and worse.

[gelionie]

I wear contacts most of the time.
Both of my eyes are like 5.00 now.

[1angel3]

I wear glasses, I don't know how strong my eyes, I really don't remember. I know i can't see a lick far away. One thing I hate saying you need them on driving licence, I have to drive with them, their annoying.

[1angel3]

My eyes are sooooo bad, me and my friend was walking down the street to her house, she live on a dead end street, and at the end is two stop signs. I start waving at them (think they two people in red t-shirts), she say who are you waving too? and I say the two people in the red. She laughs really hard and say those are to stop signs. I thought they was two people in red t-shirts with their hands on their hips.

[*MyMichelle*]

I wear Ortho-K.

They're similar to hard contacts, but designed for the night. I put them in when I'm going to sleep and I take them out in the morning - then I can see! It's so much better than glasses or regular contacts (been there, done those) and I absolutely love them! It's getting more popular now, and I can definitely see why. I would recommend this to anybody with a prescription.

I used to use them, but I hated them :T because, well, they don't always work, they hurt sometimes, it feels weird to sleep with them, and I kept losing my sucker-thingie so I had to always pop my contacts out (ouch).

I wear regular contacts now, which are way more pleasant. And I have no problems with them whatsoever.

[MeltChocolate]

I wear contacts. Both of my eyes are -1.75.

[literemix24]

gosh. i'm nearly blind. I'm so jealous of you guys who have perfect vision. anyway. i used to wear glasses, but now I wear contacts. I think its -4.50 both eyes. =[

[falsetigerlimbs]

Lol I don't think any of us so far have been blind. I'm -7.00 both eyes, and I mean, I have really bad eyesight, but I'm definitely not blind. I can get around without walking into walls.

Once in middle school, I had to take off my glasses and do one of those vision tests. And the person was like, "read the top line," and I was like, "Where's the sign?" lol I totally couldn't even see it at all. It looked like a white wall. It was pretty funny actually. yeah.

[laxumaster8]

picked out new glasses [even tho i wear contacts 99% of the time] but the lenses that i wanted, which were supposed to be really thin, were not in stock so i had to order them...so i dont have new glasses yet

[pinacoolada]

I wear contacts, but my prescription isn't that bad...it's like -2 and -1.25 or something

[azaleyes]

Right Eye = -3.50
Left Eye = -2.25
[ contacts ]

[anilfour7]

Most of the time I weat contacts, but when I want to look emo (or pseduo-intellectual) I put on my O.G. glasses.

[freeflow]

I wear glassess but after my first paycheck I think I'm considering getting contacts. I doubt I'll get them in my eye though. Maybe glasses it is.

[omgomgKATHY]

I have glasses, I should wear glasses but I forget.
Now my eyesight is worse than ever

[jackizzle]

I have no lenses in my eyes.. so glasses are pretty much a must. Without them my vision is like 20/300 haha. But yea I have soft contacts to which is awsomeeee.


So for me I can wear either.. [=

[chibichi15]

I wear glasses because I used to read at night with a dim light when I was younger. My eyes are really bad now...

[hollywoodpink]

i wore glasses at the ages of 9 - 12.
and then i got contacts when i was 13. they're amazing, and look so much better on me.

but sometimes when you've worn them for a long time they get blurry and sticky so sometimes it's nice to soak them in the middle of the day when you have nothing to do, so they're nice and refreshed.

[WHOngos144]

I wear glasses and contacts and they're -3.75

[Trinie]

i used to wear contacts back in highschool. but one time i got some kinda infection from the contacts, so the eye doctor told me to stop wearing them for awhile.

so its already been 7 years since i've worn them. but i love glasses though. also glasses lways come in really cute styles and colors.

[Aerjae]

I've been wearing contacts since 4th grade.

[lovefooled]

I've been wearing glasses since... 4th grade. I started wearing contacts in 9th or 10th grade?

Right now, I wear both contacts and glasses. I usually wear my glasses because I think contacts are a pain in the ass and I only wear them when I'm going out clubbing or to a party or something. Or when it's really bright and sunny and I want to wear sunglasses.

[deplorable]

im a fellow four eyes!!!

[anita2]

I wore contacts during last years, but this year i need new prescription not available in my old disposable contacts so i ve returned to glasses i put some pics with my old prescription glasses (really i cant function now with them so i have new ones i hate much wearing, but im blind without)

[*Sandraaa*]

I wear glasses. No contacts for me, I'm much too lazy.

[weed]

Glasses are really cute, but contacts are convinient (like for the pool and stuff).

[towntown2]

I wear glasses for reading the board at school or seeing something far away.
I wear it mostly at school. I don't wear it anywhere else because my nearsightedness is slight.

[AimeeLynn]

I wear glasses because I'm nearsighted but I really want contacts especially when I drive.

[001138]

[jackizzle]

I was born with Cataracts, so the lenses in my eyes were all sorts of retarded. Now that there removed my vision is like.. 20/300? But I can either wear glasses OR contacts-I prefer contacts though.. So I think my perscription is like.. -11? Haha I win, my eyesights worse. =]

[Just_Dream]

Ah.. I wear glasses and contacts. I believe it's around -5.00 and -5.25. Something like that. I have really bad vision.

I want to get LASIK later, because contacts bother my eyes and are a hassle to put in. But I don't like wearing glasses either because sometimes they get in the way.

[Tung]

LOL. Me and Sean were talking about contacts on AIM earlier, and we were talking about prescription, etc. He is a -3.25 -3.00. He thought he was hella blind, but I told him I'm a -4.25. LOL. But to read you are a -5.00 makes me feel so much better LOL. I've never met or know anyone who's blinder than me before. :)

[technics]

I only wear reading glasses.

[dustbunny]

-7.0, BITCHES!

and i wear both, depending on my laziness. I have to wear soft lenses during the day, and hard lenses at night; I wear my glasses when I just don't feel like wearing contacts or want to match my clothes


my prescription was already -4 when I was 8

[MissHygienic]

I alternate between glasses and contacts, but contacts suffocate my eyes. I used to wear contacts a lot but I prefer the way it feels when I don't wear them, of course.

[deplorable]

proud wearer of glasses!

[MissFits]

I wear glasses.
On special occasions I wear my contacts.
