This is the other thread I made because I forgot something.

I, for one, do wear glasses because i'm near-sighted.

Wewt version 1.1!

Let the other thread sink.

Ok, I voted, but it's still not 100% acurate. I wear both contact lenses and glasses, depending on my mood.

I'm supposed to wear glasses, but most of the time I don't, what am I supposed to vote for? :confused:

If your style does'nt fit any of them, just select the "lol" option!

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

I have glasses, but they're about three years old now. >.<

*lurks blindly*

I had a horrible dream that my glasses broke again!

I am officially the most vain person ever. I have glasses, but have normal glass lenses.;)

Yes.

In other news I just burned my mouth with cheese-on-toast :(

I'm supposed to wear them, but I lost mine while drunk at a convention in Virginia Beach last year. I haven't bothered to replace them, but I plan on doing so soon.

Why the dadgum did you sink the other thread? You done confused me...

What haven't you done while drunk?

Flown in the space shuttle. :p

That you remember, anyway.

Contact lenses. Glasses get in teh way of me hair, and we can't have that!:p

That you remember, anyway.

Very true. There are plenty of things I've done while drunk that I don't remember. ;)

And some that I wish I didn't.

There is a disproportionate amount of posters on here who wear glasses. :confused:

Probably because people who don't wear glasses looked at the thread and went "meh" and didnt bother to vote, whereas glasses wearers were thrilled by the opportunity to get involved in discussions concerning the glasses-wearing experience

Lol! That must be it! :p







I voted though:confused:

Duh, we're all nerds.

Oooooooh, it all makes sense now. :p

No glasses here. I'm lucky enough to have very good eyesight.

Yup, another glasses wearer here

We shall be....The Grand Bespectacled Ones!

yes, Ive had to wear them since this summer which sucks. I hate them. The slow deterioration of my sight, meh.

I'm supposed to wear glasses, but I haven't had any for a while. I had contacts for a bit, which was kinda handy because I only need one. My left eye is perfectly fine, but I'm nearsighted in my right eye. I haven't worn any contacts for a bit because I just haven't gotten around to getting new ones.

However, becuase only one eye needs correction I could legitimately wear a monocle!

I've gotta get a new pair. They make me look like less of a prick, I think.

Sounds fun

I used to wear them. When I was like....7.

My eyes are beyond repair now or something.

Indeed. ^_^

I got it before you did! Well, actually, I didn't even read the thread until after you got it, but I was too busy raising my people's chocolate rations from 30 grams to 25 grams, so cut me a break. Being an oppressive dictator requires a lot of handing out dope to average Joes on the street.

Wait, where was I? Oh yeah. Terrible eyesight. When my fiancee puts on my glasses, the lenses are so strong they give her a headache. But at least these things tint.

I get it!

No glasses here. But couldn't pretty much everyone in the "no glasses" category say they have a friend/relative who wears them? Actually, I think the majority of adults wear vision correction. Or need it, even if they don't.

Right on the money! :D

:fluffle:

...not that I have much to share. I'm a part-time glasses-wearer :) I've studied too much...

I got them in grade 5, and I've been wearing contact lenses and glasses on and off. Right now I'm wearing glasses. They're thin, black-rimmed, I've had these for about over a year now. I think I should get a new pair soon, cuz these are getting outrageously dirty.

Oh well, I guess they make me look smart and hawt. ;)

It's a combination of yes, no and contact lenses. In my left eye my vision is a little better than 20/20, but in my right it's a little worse. As such the State of Ohio requires me to wear glasses when I drive, but I really don't need glasses. Soooooooooooooo...yeah, I rarely wear them because I don't drive, but I have them and contacts.

Contact lenses, here. Glasses make my nose ache.

Laser Eye Surgery FTW.

I have 20/15 vision, so I don't need glasses. But my eye doctor told me that one way to keep my vision is to wear reading glasses anyway (when reading) in order to trick the eyes into thinking they're seeing farther away than they actually are. The muscles that control the lens stay relaxed. The less they have to work, the longer the lens retains its flexibility. Or so I was told.

Laser Eye Surgery FTW.

I want to get that, however its quite pricey and I fear for the safety of my eyeballs. Maybe some time in the near future. :)

I can see perfectly fine though I have relatives with glasses so I guess I don’t have the super vision gene :(

I wonder if you can get glasses for seeing too much?

*raises hand*

Yes. I am absurdly near-sighted.

Same here. :(

I'm so excited, I just got my new contacts and my new glasses are coming in on Friday. :D

You know, you can customize your glasses so they can represent you.

You might wanna look like a super rich pimp(diamonds and purple colors everywhere), a futuristic robo-human(thin glasses with red color), it's your choice! And you still have time!

I wear glasses, they never really bothered me.

I really wanted frames like Thora Birch had in "Ghost World," but it would have taken another two weeks to get them in.

Although pimp frames would be pretty nifty...

I don't wear glasses but withthe amount of time i spend on the computer and the little amount of sleep i get, maybe one day... one day...

I'm nearsighted, but my vision is okay. I only need my glasses for driving and for reading things across a room (like in class). My vision's good enough that I'm not required to wear my glasses when I drive, but they just about double the distance that I can read something from, so I usually do so that I can read the signs from farther away.

61% of people wear glasses? Wow. The interwebs really does wreck your eyesight.

It's probably because of too many MTAE threads. :p

i'm, hopefully, getting a new pair this week, which i'm at least ten years over due for, because we's poo people, and the're hella way damd expensive on our VERY limited income.

(the one's i'm wearing now, for distance vision only, are held togather with acc, and way out of perscription)

I don't wear glasses, but when I was in primary school I was supposed to wear them when reading and stuff. Although I didn't. About a year after I was told to wear glasses I went to get my eyes tested again and I found out that I didn't need them anymore.

My eyes must of magically healed or something. :eek:

I have perfect vision but my parents and a few of my friends wear glasses or contacts.

I've worn glasses since age 10, and I switched to soft contacts after high school. Contacts are far easier to deal with, IMHO...I don't have to worry about them getting broken, or deal with them in the rain and snow, and they don't fog up when I come inside in the winter. They also don't pinch my nose like my glasses, and I don't have to worry about them when I get too drunk. :D

Although I'm stuck with glasses at the moment...new contacts haven't arrived yet. (Stupid Postal Service) >_<

Jesus, how many of you guys out there are blind?

I love my eyes all the more now :)

I have an eyesight of 120% each side. Don't need glasses (yet).

You have super human eyesight?!

I should, but I tend to leave them at home. Cleaning them's a pain and I'm only slightly short-sighted.

You can see things that aren't there?

your pool sucks.

You have super human eyesight?!
Yes. (Well, the average is set as the standard 100% and I'm 20% better than that.)
You can see things that aren't there?
No. I can see through things. (Actually, no, I can't. But wouldn't x-ray vision be the shit?)

I'm legaly blind without anything. I wear contacts outside, cause I see better, but usually have glasses on in the house.

Yes, I wear glasses. Never do contact lenses, idea of sticking something into my eye...

*shudders*

no laser eye for you?

Same here. :(

I spent almost all of middle school incapable of reading the board, even when sitting in the front row. Not fun.

I pretty much wear my disposable contacts 24/7. They're way past the time when I should replace them.
My sister-in-law got me some glasses this year for my birthday. They're pretty nice. No-line progressive bifocal, ultra-thin polycarbonate, anti-reflective coating. About $700.00 retail. But she works in optics and the mark up is generally about 300%. I know, I used to be an optician.

Yep, I'm very short sighted & wear glasses all the time. Except when I'm wearing my contacts, or when I'm asleep, or in the shower.

I wear contacts the majority of the time, but it just so happens that I am currently wearing my glasses as often happens late at night.


I'm -4.50.

I'm -4.50. -10.00 in both eyes. I can't see the big "E" on the chart.

My vision is pretty much perfect. I find it surprising that far more people here require glasses than not.

I'm -6.00 right, -7.00 left.

That would be awesome

I'd say it probably has more to do with people who don't wear glasses/contact lenses not bothering with this thread.

I'm the only person in my family not to need any correction for vision. I find that slightly odd.

no laser eye for you?

maybe if I suddenly get some money to pay for it...


and if i could count on them to use enough painkiller/sedative whatever, so i don't feel the laser burning into my eye (heard stories about that).

They don't use a painkiller. Not necessary.
No painkillers for eye surgeries?! :eek:

I'm really squeamish around the eyes, that's why I wear glasses instead of contacts and such.

They don't use a painkiller. Not necessary.

So you lay there screaming as they cut into your eye?

Topical numbing agent. I suppose that could be considered a painkiller. You're quite awake, though.
That's why I deleted the other post. What I really meant to say is you're not unconscious. Not that type anesthetic.

No glasses for me. I'm lucky to have exceptional eyesight.No glasses for me. I'm unlucky to have perfect eyesight and not get any. Yes, I know about window glass ones. Yes, it's Christmas again soon.

Oh, ok.

Would've been damn funny to see a guy screaming in agony after the laser burns through his eye. :)

And I can't stop laughing. God I'm evil. :D

wow, that's a surprisingly high proportion of NSers wearing glasses :eek:

i guess NS does rot your eyes/brain/face after all ;)



(yes, i do)

Hehe. Don't worry, it balances out in other areas. I'm completely uncoordinated and have a habit of tripping over myself. :P

I suppose. *shrugs*

It's roughly 50/50 in my extended family.

Aww, just because you don't have some sexy glasses like I do shouldn't mean you "don't get any". Poor girl. :p

"Boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses." But men do ;)

I used to wear glasses then I got them corrected via laser.
No more glasses for me! Yay!

Hehe. Don't worry, it balances out in other areas. I'm completely uncoordinated and have a habit of tripping over myself. :P

*snip*

But I'm uncoordinated & trip over things too. My specialty is walking into door frames.

Isn't that more to do with wearing Beer goggles Boony?:p

Those empties on my desk, I swear I didn't drink them. It must have been the cats while I was at work.

Bugger it, where is my tinfoil (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11959174&postcount=13) hat?

I got bumped really hard in the temple and that's why my glasses are now bent. I've adapted, though. But the headache I got was like a hangover. Not that i've had one, that is.

I've never needed glasses or contacts, as my vision is apparently equally exceptional in both eyes.
