Contact lenses... glasses only when I'm at home, really.
So which option do I pick in the poll?

My glasses are brown, made of titanium(TRUE), un-breakable(lens made of smething OTHER THAN GKASS i don't know what), and the lens are the Transition kind.:eek:

If you have glasses, you can customize them! Even sunglasses!

The third option is a bit rubbish too. Is there anyone who doesn't know at least one person who wears glasses?

Oopsies, I forgot.

Do they shoot lasers and have x-ray vision too?

I wear glasses, because my eyesight in my right eye is literally 20/200. I'm blind as a bat in that eye without them. Left eye isn't so bad though.

I have found that after wearing them a couple years my brain isn't good at correcting for my poor vision anymore, so I can't read anything with them on.

No glasses for me. I'm lucky to have great eyesight.

I prefer wearing my glasses over contact lenses. Why? Because I don't care if I look "cool" not having glasses, and I don't have any reason because of sports or anything. Fucking posers.

I do wear glasses for my astigmatism, but usually only when I drive(if i don't forget them at home)

I sit about a foot, maybe 15 inches from my screen, and I cannot read the text, even the large text, without glasses on...even if I squint. My eyes are ridiculously bad. I am certain that laser eye surgery is the only saving grace I will have...

Or you could just wear glasses.

I'm a part time wearer of spectacles as I am only partially stort sighted, so i need them to drive, watch tele, cinema, concerts or view architecture and individual leaves on trees (instead of blurry green blobs). I can see these normally, but with my specs its a lot clearer.

They are moschino specs, and very sexy. I like to wear them, they help me to feel intelligent too.

nerd chic is fab:cool:

Well I just measured and I have to have my face at most 7 inches away from the screen in order to read the text without my glasses!

As for contact lenses; I'm too lazy to get them. The one-day lenses cost a lot of money; and the long-term ones, like my sister has, have to be thoroughly cleaned every day. I couldn't be bothered. I wouldn't trust myself to be that devoted. At least with the glasses I just have to put them on.

The only really annoying things about glasses are;
1. The rain. And it rains a lot here. But actually I can make my way around without them if it's very wet, just as long as I don't have to cross any roads or read any signs...
2. Sports. Not that I play any, but when I did things like long-jump I couldn't even guess where the board was.
3. Limited line of vision. The fact that I have to look through these lenses that are less than 1" by 2" in size I can't look up or out of the corner of my eye without moving my head appropriately. It's very heard to be inconspicuous with bad eyesight!
