SparklingSquirrels 21,332 January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 About halfway through 1st grade. For some reason I used to absolutely despise wearing them I tried to get away with not wearing them at school, but then my mom told my teacher that I need to wear my glasses so that put a stop to that 3 ֍֎֍֎ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissRose 14 January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 The start of year eleven (I'm not sure what that is in American grades, sorry!) I was 15 though so it's only been a year, I've already broke the two specialist pairs I had by falling asleep on various hard surfaces because of my chronic fatigue, and two pairs of selectspec £12 glasses. How long did your first pair of glasses last you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiratePony 8,475 January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 Geeze I wore glasses in...third or fourth grade and switched to contacts that same year. So for 26 years or so. Courtesy of @Sparklefan1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long did your first pair of glasses last you? We have 12 grades, being 15 in school usually means 9th or 10th grade . My first pair broke when I got lazy not taking them off when taking off my hoodie (lasted me less than a year). Next pair was blocky which I wore for the longest I believe (up to end of 12th grade), then I got some new ones which ....hmm... I forget if these are the same I've had since I was a freshman in college . Mine look fragile and I'm afraid of doing the same, in bed by crushing them.

Because I was born in August, I was always 5 years older than my grade level. 5 years old in Kindergarten, 6 in 1st grade, 7 in 2nd, 8 in 3rd and so on until I was 17 years old in Grade 12 or Senior Year in High School.

Prospekt 11,018 January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 I started wearing glasses in 4th grade. Still wearing them as a sophomore in college and I can't see myself ever ditching them in favor of contacts. 1 Signature by Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskSong 742 January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 Quarter 1 of 9th grade, because I got daily headaches from my eyes over focusing for over a year before I got them.

Not quite the same idea, but I always finished a grade on the year of the same number (10th grade finished in 2010, 12th grade finished in 2012).

Twisted Cyclone 🚓 6,259 January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 I first had to wear glasses in 3rd grade. Fortunately, I mainly need them for driving but I still don't wear them as much as I should. I do dig my prescription aviators though. 1 Country and Rock fan | Car fan (especially police cars) | Weather Pony | YouTube | Twitter | DeviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStreak98 828 January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 I think I was in 4th grade when I first got glasses, but I didn't need them until I started driving. Got contacts when I was a freshman in college. 1 "I still believe that peace and plenty and happiness can be worked out some way.

Awkward Segway 317 January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 Summer of 2011, between my sophomore and junior years of high school. My eyesight randomly and suddenly got bad early on in the year, and I had trouble seeing things I previously was able to see fine (things far away - I'm nearsighted), but I could still see it if I squinted. During the summer, when I first went to get my driver's permit, I failed the eyesight test, so I had to get glasses before doing it again. I usually wear contacts - the only time I've ever worn my glasses in public was for one lab in college, because I didn't get much sleep the night before, so the contacts stung my eyes. So much Pony, so little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here No Longer 5,276 January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 I started wearing glasses around the time I got out of high school. Use to wear them all the time, but I usually just wear them off and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thuja 3,659 January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 I started wearing glasses when I was 9, I think? I keep wondering if I shouldn't just switch to contacts instead but I always worry about putting anything in my eyes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganondorf8 11,288 January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 I started wearing glasses around the age of five due to sitting too close to the television when I was really young. It's been thirty years since and I still wear glasses though my vision has changed over time. I refuse to wear contact lenses as those can be really cumbersome from what I've seen.

BlueBrony 388 January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 I began wearing glasses during the summer between elementary and middle school. It really helped signal the shift from happy-go-lucky kid to awkward adolescent. Check out my youtube music channel My OC- Prof. Noble H.

Cash In 22,228 January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 I've been wearing glasses since I was about five. I used to need them whenever I wanted to watch TV, but now I need them all the time. At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Frostflame 3,568 January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 When I was told I'm too blind to see, at the age of 6. Though I only ever wear them in scenarios where I need near perfect vision, like driving, gaming, or doing PC stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Bolt 35,062 January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 I was about 13 when I first got my glasses. Back then I thought, wow glasses! These are so cool! I love these! Now, I hate them. I refuse to wear them a lot of the time, I always end up getting in trouble with my mom if I'm not wearing them though. I really want contacts. ☆ My socials ☆ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,850 January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 About 21 years old. My vision was generally on the edge of needing them, and I can get away without ... but the hours of studying in college took a toll. I currently have the same prescription I had back then and it's fairly weak in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
