    Obvious enough; do you wear glasses, contacts, no eye-wear, or something else? (please to God nobody wears a monocle :lol: ) Do you like your eye-wear?

    I don't wear glasses or contacts, but I'm curious as to how many EC users do. :slight_smile:

    I am technically short sighted, but I rarely wear glasses. Just in class, and even then infrequently.

    I wear glasses, as all my pictures show. I also have prescription Ray-Bans since Transitions really don't cut it. So I sometimes juggle having the two pairs when I go out. Croakies are lifesavers.

    My vision isn't the best; I'm nearsighted. Last I checked, the spherical correction was -5.00 and -5.25 on my eyes.

    Yes, I wear glasses :3 I'm near-sighted, so glasses are a must.

    Sort of both. I don't have very good sight, but I rely on other senses, mainly hearing.

    Contacts. My eyes are actually so bad that glasses would be like miniature telescopes. Contacts fix that problem pretty well.
     
  9. I'm quite short-sighted, so I can't go out in the streets without glasses, haha.

    I have glasses, but I don't wear them all the time. I need them for driving.

    Glasses because I'm afraid I'm going to poke my eyes out by putting on contacts.

    I put down glasses, but I wear contacts too. I'm wearing my glasses right now, usually wear them on the weekends and I wear my contacts at least three or four days a week.

    Contacts aren't that comfortable for me... I've tried several brands, and I just have dry eyes. Plus, I have astigmatism, so I can only use certain types of lenses. I still prefer to wear contacts sometimes even though my eyes dry out. I hate how dirty glasses get, plus I work at a pool and hate teaching lessons with glasses.

    Glasses. Contacts freak me out. I hate it. I hate having to find my glasses every time I wake up.

    Glasses. I don't mind them so much, but I do very much mind being near-sighted...

    I wear contacts because I am legally blind without prescription. (I can't even see the big "E" on the eye test sign without my contacts, haven't been able to since I was a fifth grader). I have glasses to wear just before bed, but that's the only time I wear them cause I really don't like the feeling of not being having full peripheral vision.

    Glasses. I'm so nearsighted I couldn't tell Michael Jordan from Divine at 20 paces. And I started having to play the trombone to read the fine print within 3 months of turning 40, so I have bifocals as well. Doesn't much matter because I like the way I look in glasses better anyhow, although I'm considering lasik so I could just go with the "cheaters" as needed, or trendy frames with clear lenses rather than having to drop a couple hundred bucks at a crack on prescription lenses.

    Glasses usually. Contacts every now and again when I feel like putting them in.
