Glasses, Contacts or neither?

Post by Driv2Slow »

I was wondering how many of you out there wear glasses? Contacts? Neither?

Neither, but my vision isn't very good though. I'd go for the glasses as contacts would just annoy me.

Glasses. My prescription isn't very strong, but my astigmatism makes it almost impossible for me to drive without my glasses.

I wear glasses, I'm near-sighted. My perscription is pretty weak, and I could wear contacts, but the concept of putting something in your eyes is not very enticing. :?

I can't stand glasses. The thought of having something on my head all the time gives me the creeps. Also I can hardly drive with them... So contacts ftw!

I have contacts, I used to wear glasses, but they suck. You have to be looking through the glass to see clearly, with contacts you can look all around with just your eyes and there are no blurry spots.

Staring at the computer is bad. It took my vision from a 20/20 to about a 20/80. So I got glasses, hated them, got contacts. Now I'm happy :)

I was born with bad vision, games had nothing to do with it. Though I'm sure playing computer games now isn't helping. I am going to get laser eye surgery either this summer or early next year. I saw how the procedure is done and it does not look too bad, all they do is cut into a layer on your eye, the pull the flap of the layer back and shine a laser on your eye. One of my firends went to have it done, and it took under 10 minutes for each eye. My vision is pretty bad, I can see clearly for about 2 feet in front of me and then the rest is all a blur, but with contacts I see perfectly.

I'm not sure I would recommend that. My dad got it and it made his right eye 20/20 but his left eye is the same, if not worse; and he also has to wear special glasses or something to be able to see when he drives at night.

Well in my mind, the benefits of getting laser eye surgery outweigh the risks. If you don't take risks in life you won't get anywhere.

Just goes to show it's a lie about spanking the monkey ruining your eyesight :lol:

(And what the betting that gets used as a quote on someone's signature in the not too distant future :twisted: )
