Do you wear glasses/contacts?

[Olly 1,016]

I wear glasses on and off depending on what I'm doing. What do you use? or don't you?

[Silver Note 735]

I'm near sighted, so I have glasses so I can see far away. I have no problem doing things like reading. 

Glasses for life! 

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,167]

I wear glasses pretty much all day. Granted, these are prescription reading glasses, but I someone who is either at the computer all day, or doing something else that requires them, so I tend to have them on.

Plus, I think I look rad in them.

I am 38 years old. I actually have NO memory of a time that I WASN'T wearing glasses. My vision is rather poor. I'm lucky in one aspect. My husband likes girls who wear glasses.

Ditto

[Hierok 11,833]

Don't want and have them, but I probably should. I see not as good in the distance as I'm used to.

[Snow Frostflame 3,571]

I've had glasses since I was 6, but the only time I ever use them is when I'm driving, on my computer, or doing anything that requires near perfect vision. The rest of the time I don't wear them. I can still see just fine without them, just can't read anything unless it's big or up close.

[Crosswind 629]

@Snowflake Frostflame I'm in the same boat as you are. Driving is the worst for me especially at night with oncoming traffic and dodging the wildlife 

[Retro*Derpy 3,833]

I've always had glasses, can't see anything hardly at all without them.

[SoberStarlight 907]

I've had great vision my whole life and have needed neither sofar! I never leave home without my Ray Bans though.

[Techno Universal 2,576]

Yeah I've always had perfect vision in my life so far! Just hopefully I don't suddenly out of nowhere become near/long sighted like how my dad suddenly become short sighted just after his 18th birthday.

Are people who don't wear glasses or contacts allowed to answer, lol?

[Nightfall Gloam 18,297]

I wear glasses, and pretty much have since I was young... I've gotten used to it and I seriously cannot imagine myself without them

[Scootaloo Is Best Filly 578]

Not until recently. A few years back I was prescribed glasses I should wear them every day but I still am really self conscious about wearing them

[SparklingSwirls 21,609]

Yeah I wear glasses. I've thought about getting contacts but I think I look better with my glasses on . Plus they're just easier than contacts.

Been wearing them since I was 6-ish.

I have been wearing Glasses since I was a Kid.

[Vocal Analyst 665]

I don't wear them, but seeing as I look at a lot of screens for long hours due to editing and video work, I know I'll need them eventually. A director at a company I've worked for on a freelance basis told me that if you've been editing for long enough, you should be wearing glasses as all do. Looks like that's in my future...

[StormBlaze 994]

wow so far most say yes!

I dont wear them as an everyday requirement. My vision is good enough for me to live without them generally, but I need them for driving or reading text from a distance. I can a fair ways, but not well enough to read or make out details. Its like going from Standard VHS quality straight to modern HD. 

I have started wearing them when digitally drawing now, as it enables me to notice out of place pixels, i dont need them for PC use, but I do use them for games too. Just a habit from having chairs set back from teh screen. Same goes for TV, if its something Ive not seen before that im invested in, like MLP Movie, then I will wear my glasses so I dont miss details and backrgound easter eggs. 

It catches people out when they see me with glasses on. 

oh just to say - not been a since birth thing, ive worn glasses in class since I was about 14. I cannot see red text/writing naturally. Im not colour blind, for some reason red text on a whiteboard just blurs out. Always a pain when my Maths teachers did that =/ I never got bullied for being a "four eyes", the reactions were more "omg Jess you wear glasses?!"

I wear glasses, but I really hate them. I look stupid with glasses on, tbh.  I'm going to get contacts soon, thank god. I have what's called an "astigmatism" where one of my eyes (I believe it's my left eye) is a slightly different shape compared to the other, which causes me to have slight blurred vision. My vision isn't THAT horrible without glasses, in fact I go around refusing to wear them a lot, but I do have to squint a lot when I'm not wearing them. 

I've been having to wear them since I was about 13 or 14, so it's only been a couple years.

[Fluttershutter 3,671]

My eyes are horrible. I started wearing glasses when I was 4 and contacts around 12. I haven't worn glasses in a long time because my eyes are so bad it's basically just tunnel vision(no peripheral).

Challenge me!!

My prescription is -18 right eye, -15.5 left eye.

I've never been beaten.

I use to wear glasses back in elementary school. Not sure when I decided to stop wearing them, but I'm pretty sure it was by 4th or 5th grade, or at least I knew I didn't have them when I went to middle-school. My eyesight is pretty bad but I don't wear glasses or contacts. I manage just fine without them, but reading stuff from afar is pretty annoying.

[Thuja 3,669]

I've been wearing glasses since middle school, I'm nearsighted.  I remember the first time I got my glasses, I walked out of the optometrist's with my brand-spanking-new glasses and I could actually read the signs in the mall!  It was like seeing the world for the first time.  Nowadays though, I kinda want to try contacts since I'm sick of my glasses fogging up all the time...  I normally don't wear glasses at home since I don't really need to and I try not to wear glasses when I'm on the computer either.

I wear glasses. I have 20/70 vision, i.e I am as blind as a bat.

Are you still in here? I'm just seeing shadows and shapes.

[Rainy_days 284]

Yep, I am nearsighted and use glasses, but mostly when I have to drive and sit in front of the computer. When I have to work I always take them off so I won't get any dirt on them or destroy them.

[Redeye 399]

I wear glasses. Proudly. One's glasses is a symbol of pride, glory, amazingness, goodlookingness, and fantasticpersonalityness. At no point does putting on one's glasses detract from their character, but instead amplifies it to a level far beyond even what a divine power could pull off. Without the power of glasses, all aspects of glamour would cease to exist, and therefore, people like me would cease to exist. A world without glasses is no world at all. Ah, Kos, grant us eyes, grant us eyes!
