[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.

[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"]
