How's your eyesight?

[Judas18]

+0.75 in my left eye and +0.50 in my right. Need long distance glasses ='( They aren't too bad though.

I'm apparently [slightly] 'short-sighted'....

... When I say that - I've been wearing glasses, for driving mainly, since I was 16 [Now 45] HOWEVER, the last 2-3 eye-checks I've had I've been told that the lenses are 'weak', don't need changing & that I don't really need to wear them for driving (I still do though)

I'm not sure if this is the same for your country but in Australia if you need Glasses for Driving your License is basically stamped to indicate you need Glasses to drive. So even if an eye doctor told you that you didn't have to wear them wouldn't your license say other wise?

Maybe in Australia - but not in UK....Unless when they changed to the 'new' credit card driving licences - that info is added to it.

I've still got one of the older 'paper' licences (although it IS falling to bits & stuck together with selotape) & that type of info isn't on there

Perfect 20/20 vision

 

[DarkraiHunter]

Short sighted. :c
Don't really know what caused them, but I guess watching too much T.V and reading in the dark caused it. I am currently wearing glasses, have contact lenses but I've never actually tried them.

I'm far-sighted wth a gnarly astigmatism. I'm also left eye dominant (sinister), but otherwise right side dominant - this makes things weird at times (equilibrium-wise). In the past, I was lucky if my corrective lenses brought me anywhere near 20/20, but my most recent glasses brought my vision all the way up to 20/10 (i know, right). I feel like a super-hero with my new specs! More insanely, though, these glasses make me feel short (like a couple inches).

I have bad eyes (short-sighted) since high school. Dunno what caused it. My sister and I are the only ones in our familiy who have bad eyes. But I don't have glasses and have yet to let a doctor check my eyes (yes, I somehow managed to live all the time without glasses).

On a related note, to all who wear contacts, how does it feel like to have lenses put in your eyes? Does it hurt?

 

[Kioku]

I voted everything, but my eyesight is okay.. It's terrible when I'm exhausted though... Hmmm

 

[CarbonX13]

I'm the only Asian in my school that doesn't need glasses. It makes me feel special. =P

 

[4-leaf-clover]

I'm wearing glasses since middle school. Though i wear contacts on some occasions
(probably cuz i'm asian:I) nah it's because I read, watch tv, etc in the dark to much.

 

[Creqaw]

Don't even know what this 20/20 is but whatever. I wear contacts and they are -5 and -5.5 for my right and left eye respectively.

Ahh ok I wasn't sure if the UK had the same rules as us driving wise.

How does that work if you passed your test and got your license without needing glasses, then for some reason your vision deteriorated and you started needing glasses to drive? Do they update your license? What if you just need glasses for night driving?

 

[philip11]

I have 20/20 but when I play the 3DS for a long time my eyesight go whacky for a minute or two

 

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

I had great eyes now there just meh.
I have great close up vision but far away is like terrible and medium distance i can read it.
I have glasses but I don't wear them much only when I really need them in class or what.
I think I have been affected by using the computer playing videogames and studying.
When you think about it most people these days only do nearsighted things.

 

[Izen]

I wouldn't say I need glasses, but I certainly see better with them on.

 

[Edgedancer]

I got glasses late December. Turns out I have the same eyes as my father. Got Astigmatism which isnt too bad. I am already used to them and feel better having them on.

I'm not sure about the night driving but every time your License is updated you take an Eye test before hand.

I wear glasses as I'm shorted sighted. I've tried contact lenses but hate the feeling of putting them in >.

 

[CrimzonEyed]

I have been using classes since I was around 9.
My eye sight wasn't that bad at first but have only became worse as the years keept going.

At the moment I have -6 with glasses and -5.50 with contacts.

Only using glasses at the moment because I can't afford contacts. Used only contacts for about 6-7 years (didn't even have glasses during that period)
Had monthly contacts. Which you put in, let them be there for a month and than after 30 days I just changed them.(yes you sleep with them)a
