do you wear glasses/contacts?

[jumpman17]

where did you get that from ?

The purple marks under my eyes? I don't know. They just kind of showed up in junior high.

 

[Deadmon]

I only need my glasses when I'm reading chalk boards, or playing on consoles..my vision hasn't really moved for like 5 years, so I think I'm good.

 

[Rayder]

Nope, no glasses. I have only one eye to see with though, but it's 20/20. In my bad eye, glasses can't help it.

About my bad eye.....boom goes the car battery, splat goes my eye. Happened in 1991. Transplanted cornea. No lens, no iris. All I see out of it is a huge super-blur. I have to wear sunglasses even on cloudy days.

Red-eye filtering on cameras don't work with it.....I always look like a terminator or something when a camera uses flash. It glows bight red. Kinda cool actually.

One day, I'm gonna get someone to do that half-and-half deal with a terminator pic where one half is my actual face and the other is the terminator, but the red in the terminator's eye will be from MY eye. I suck at Photoshop myself, so I will have to recruit someone to do that.....some day.

 

[DarkAura]

Yup, need glasses here. Maybe too much gaming...

 

[xcalibur]

glasses
big fat piece of things, even when compressed



wasnt there a topic about this a whiles ago?

 

[Playset6199]

20/20 here, AFAIK.
My Dad has astigmatism though.

 

[Dirtie]

I got LASIK'd not too long ago, now I'm 20/20

 

[Jax]

I should wear glasses...

 

[Talaria]

Glasses, At first it will seems weird, but now I can't be without my glasses or else I feel ugly or naked loll


LOL. I have big purple marks under my eyes that make me look like I haven't slept in a month and my glasses help hide them as no one notices them until I remove my glasses.

Lawl, same thing here i have like slighty more vague but purple marks under my eyes which make it seem like i haven't slept at all. Its a shame i have about 20/20 vision as i have nothing to hide them apart from sunglasses but you can't wear them on rainy days *sigh*

 

[azotyp]

Wouldn't it be easier if you were blind at that eye?

Myself, I own glasses, I should probably use them as it would save me a lot of headaches but I'm stubborn.

 

[Ace Gunman]

I do where glasses, yes. My family has a history of eye problems, and I got lucky with mine; it's just a mild astigmatism and some very minor nearsightedness. I only need to wear them when watching TV, gaming, going on the PC, or reading. And in a few years I'm planning on getting lasek to have my vision corrected.

I still have peripheral vision in my bad eye (my right eye....left as you look at me), which allows me to continue driving (I can still see the little red flashing light in the test they give you when you renew your drivers license). Technically, I could get an artificial lens put in it to restore vision to at least 20/40 according to eye doctors, but it would have to be swapped out every few years. Mostly though, in normal situations, the eye sort of turns off where I don't notice the blur as I look around with my good eye. The most disconcerting thing is that the bad eye tends to drift outward like that dude on the Adam Sandler movies when I look at far away things. That tends to freak some people out.

I'll tell ya one thing though, it really put a huge dent in my gaming abilities.....it's harder to watch the whole screen in games like Geometry Wars or other intense games like that. I went from a hardcore gamer to more of an average gamer the instant I lost it. I kinda suck at such games now in comparison to how I was pre-1991. One eye just CAN'T track the action as well as two.

 

[Verocity]

Contacts for going out, glasses for relaxing at home.

 

[Joey Ravn]

In my case, it's the same as for Verocity

 

[CockroachMan]

I use it, but I have only one eye with problems, the other is perfect.. so I can see well without glasses, but sometimes it gives me headache..

 

[slayerspud]

Been using contacts for about two months now. So far i'm lovnig them, 1000x better than glasses.

I am -3.5 and -3.5.

 

[DjoeN]

I wear glasses

I tried contacts, but in the test periode i had to do the contacts damaged my eyes, leaving cut traces on the eyenet so the eyedoc said it was best i don't

So, i still wear glasses (and i'm happy with it)

 

[Szyslak]

I wear contacts.... My rx is a -8 in one eye and -7.5 in another. I'm totally blind without them!

Sorry about your kitchen accident

Now I have another reason to avoid cooking

Wow. You really are blind. There must be a good joke in there somewhere about Spikey, but I think I'll skip it. I'm a -3.0 in both eyes and I thought I was bad.

I was hell-bent on getting Lasik surgery for a while, but once they came out with Night&Day contacts, the need isn't so great. So now I wear contacts for 30 days, glasses for 1 day.

My vision got markedly worse once I started working on computers. Blink often people.

 

[iori-kyo-k]

I had a perfect view until 15, then I began playing video games. Now I'm -1.25 and -1.25, not so bad but still need to wear lenses or I can't read the text on my TV when far from it.

Lenses are great and you don't really see them if you don't know. And color lenses are fun for a special day, adds something to your desguise ^^
