Do you wear glasses/contacts?

[Chibi Youkai]

Glasses. Hopefully Lasik is in the near future though. I'm sick of being blind.

All about the glasses. Couldn't bear the idea of contacts. I know people say you get used to it but I don't think I could even do it the first time. A few years ago they thought there were some problems with my eyes as they're outside of some spectrum or something. I couldn't let them touch them. As much as I wanted to and know I needed it, my reflex reactions would not allow me to do it! I am too much of a sissypants I guess.

Same here, word for word.

Yeah the thought of contacts scares me. I know you need to wear contacts for any sort of sports, but still, I don't like the thought of something being in my eye. Also, not to mention, but myself and others are so used to seeing me wear glasses, if I don't wear glasses, I look really weird. I also think I look nicer with glasses, but that' s just me. I'm so used to them now.

The only annoying thing with glasses (besides sports) is the sun. You obviously can't wear sunglasses over your glasses, lest you look strange and don't know how to dress yourself properly. So I always squint and can't see things. But that all changed this week when I finally got a pair of prescription sunglasses! Take that Sun!

I wear both but I don't like contacts because I have a dry eye condition and I don't like glasses because it's not great to have something constantly on your face and smudging. I have glasses on right now, but I typically will wear daillies as they don't dry my eyes out as much and thus I can wear them for longer during the day without having to re-wet them.

When I got my contacts the lady at the eye place had to sit with me for like an hour before I could get them in because I'm so squeamish about touching my eye. She was really starting to lose patience, I felt bad. But I did get used to it c:

Contacts were terrible until I got used to them after a few days. Then I could pop them in and out like a pro.

I just think throwing glasses on in the morning is easier.

P much.

I use both, but mainly glasses. When I'm going out into the world, I wear contacts because I think I look better without glasses. But if I'm staying indoors, glasses are so much faster and my hands don't get wet. Or at least they shouldn't!

[Jessweeee♪]

Mostly I only wear my glasses in bed watching tv, otherwise the contacts always. The glasses agitate my acne and I constantly push them up my face whether I need to or not and it bugs me that I can't stop doing it. Also, I seem to have better depth perception with the contacts somehow. Maybe it's my astigmatism or just my imagination

[fire_of_avalon]

Without glasses my visual acuity is something like 20/30 which my eye doctor says means I don't "need" glasses but she gets why I want them. I wear my glasses when I drive and when I want to see something far away. Which means 95% of the time they chill in their case or I forget them at work.

Funfact: my glasses correct my visual acuity to 20/15 which means I kinda become a superhero when I put them on. Need to tell if that oak tree has a bird's nest in it but we are far away? There's a slight chance I will see it before you!

I wore glasses until last spring. I've always had contacts sitting around that I'd put in once in a while, but I didn't start using them regularly until I got into horseback riding.
I may need to get some prescription goggles or something for riding, though. The second-to-last time I went to the ranch before they closed down for the winter, I raced down some of the trails with one of the wranglers... I got going fast enough that the wind in my face actually made me lose one of my contact lenses, and I was told afterward that the horse that I was riding (who I'd been riding for about the past month before then) was actually a retired race horse o.O

[Shorty]

I wear glasses. My contacts expired and I need to order more so I can do things without worrying about my glasses' function and/or appearance in certain situations.

Getting into contacts was so frustrating to me at first. For the first two weeks I started wearing them, it would take me thirty minutes each morning to put them in. I would cry and cry out of frustration, which, of course, only made putting them in worse. Getting the hang of putting them in is the biggest accomplishment of my life to date.

[Chibi Youkai]

Yes. This is why I don't wear contacts. I can't get over the frustrated part. If I can't get them in after 45min, it just doesn't happen. I think I've gotten contacts in on my own twice in less than an hour.

[Jess]

I wear contacts. It takes me about 10 seconds to pop them in. I very rarely wear my glasses, I don't like how glasses feel on my face and I can't stand seeing the outer frames.

[Night Fury]

I wear glasses for reading or if I'm working at the computer a lot. I remember glasses being stuck to my face for the 5 months I was writing my thesis. I was a proper nerd yo.

I'm nearly blind i wear glasses but without them i can't see anything.
