I wear glasses. I looked into getting contacts at one point. However, as a result of two separate eye lacerations as a child, I have a terrible blink reflex that makes it impossible to get anything even remotely close to my eyeballs.

Recently had to get some Rx reading glasses. I feel so scholarly when I wear them. :)

I started wearing glasses full time about 4-5 years ago. Back in middle school and high school I only wore reading glasses. I haven't considered wearing contacts - honestly the idea kinda freaks me out.

I wear glasses.

Weirdly, when I got a new prescription last year my vision had actually gotten better!

My contact lens fell out and ripped in the middle of the workday yesterday. I usually keep spares in my desk but I didn't. I drove home one-eyed.  :cry:

I feel like I'm in the minority. I LOVE wearing glasses. I just think I have a face for them. I order all mine online though zennioptical.com but I'm looking for a funkier pair soon.

I have horrible eyesight so I need to always wear glasses.

it's pretty fascinating to me that only 22% of people on here have good vision  :blink: Like, it's a genetic abnormality that is not good, yet has become dominant! How strange.

I've worn glasses since I was 4 years old, I feel weird without them now! I honestly love them and I don't think I'd go without them even if I could. People always say they suit me.  :cool:

I usually wear glasses. I have soft-ish facial features, so sharper specs kind of help offset them, and I can't really afford to go without-- I can only see colored blobs anything more than a foot or so from my face without.

I'll wear contact lenses for special occasions, but I don't really enjoy it. For some reason my eyes get dry really fast.

I think I first got glasses in 5th or 6th grade? I'll probably continue sticking with glasses. Taking contacts in and out seems like it would be annoying, and sometimes I'll hear about people getting them stuck in their eyelids and it takes a while to get them out. Plus glasses can be more fashionable.

I wear my glasses constantly, the only exceptions are when I'm sleeping or in the shower/bath/swimming/etc, my vision is poor enough to where I wouldn't be able to function without them. Taking off my glasses while typing just this sentence and the only reason I'm doing it half-way decently is because I type a lot so I'm memorized the placement of all the letters, I can barely make out what I've typed while sitting at my normal distance away from my laptop.

*puts glasses back on*

I'm near-sighted, when I first needed glasses I just had trouble reading things on the white boards at school sometimes, and then when I got my glasses the difference was amazing, I could see the individual leaves on trees more clearly, I hadn't even noticed much that I needed glasses that badly until I actually got them.

Now however, it's super obvious when I take off my glasses that I need them. Things a little less than a foot away from me become blurry, things further away are just like blurry colors vaguely shaped like things. I'd probably die if I were to go outside and try to function without my glasses. :P
