Glasses/Contact wearers: Near-sighted or far-sighted?

is this some sort of survey?

 

Nearsighted.

 

Near sighted in my left eye, far sighted in the right. When I got my eye test last year, I couldn't even read the big E with my left eye. My doctor was like "ok, first row!" and I told him "uh, I know it's an E, but I can't even see it." He was like "ok then, let's switch to the other eye now!" :roflmao: It was bad. I'm terrible about wearing my contacts because really I don't suffer without them unless I'm trying to read things far away. Once I actually wear my contacts though, I realize just how much they help and how truly blind I am.

 

i luv your sig!

^ Thank you I love your username, assuming it's Madonna related! LOVE that album.

 

I've got astigmatism. Used to wear glasses but broke pair and couldn't afford to get new pair and prescription. Been like 3 years since, lol. Insurance doesn't fucking cover vision either.

 

Yup it is! Yay!

 

I am farsighted and I also have astigmatism. On the poll I picked farsightedness because that's my main problem.

 

I said nearsighted because it's my strongest diagnosis, but I also have astigmatism, so I guess I should have voted "other."

 

I'm near-sighted. But it's not like so bad, like i can see shit, but especially when it's more at a distance, it's not as clear as it can be, it's like standard definition. When I first wore prescribed glasses I was like "everything's in HD!!" lol but I haven't wore my glasses in a few years cuz those nose things are gone and those long parts that sit on your ears are kinda messed up too i think.

So it's like, i hope i can get some new ones at some point i dunno. Cuz it's nice to have HD vision, and I have trouble readin shit from a distance.

 

Nearsighted with slight astigmatism. Been wearing glasses since about second grade. Pretty bad vision without them at about -5.25 diopters in each eye.

I wear glasses and will never wear contacts. Plus, I think I actually look better with glasses :lol:.

 

Blind from more than a foot away. Fortunately, I currently sport very fetching specs, if I do say so myself.

 

I've had glasses since I was 7 or 8 and I didn't get contacts until I was in the 7th or 8th grade maybe. I stick to glasses since I have "special eyes" and it's a bitch and a half to get corrective contacts (I have a weird astigmatism in both eyes with two different prescriptions) and the care that comes with them can be costly...and being a night owl I don't feel like dealing with pulling lenses out of my eyes at 4am when my eyes hurt. I also haven't seen an eye doctor in about a year and a half so I haven't been able to get my contacts adjusted. I can still see fine with them, but text is slightly blurred.

 

My eyes were something like -7 to -7.5. I was so short/near sighted, I'd have someone call my name from across the road and just call back "hello" cos I couldn't make out who they were!

I had glasses for driving but didn't like them so switched to contacts and over wore them so much my capillaries (I think that's what they're called) grew too close to my iris so the optician said they'd have to stop the contact lenses, and I'd have to go back to glasses.

So I went down the other path and chose laser surgery. It was really quick and I felt nothing in surgery. A few hours later I had absolute perfect vision. Unfortunately, I had such a heavy prescription, some of my cornea has grown back (or something like that), so I will go back to the same place to have another blast of the laser. Only this time - due to internal scarring - my eye can't be cut with the laser, so they'll use the blade instead.

A word of warning: all that talk they give in their advertisements about how cheap the procedure is, is not what you end up paying!

 

I'm extremely nearsighted. And as you can see I wear and have a thing for glasses.

 

Im nearsighted. I took off my glasses to see how bad, the computer screen a foot in front of me was blurry.... So I'm guessing my eyes are that bad. lol

I wear glasses, I can barely put eye-drops in, so I don't think there is a way I can get contacts in.

 

Nearsighted. I've worn glasses since the 7th grade because I couldn't see the blackboard from the back of the room. I only really need to wear them when I go out or if there is a really good movie on TV that I want to see better

(psst, nearsighted means you can't focus on far away objects. If your computer screen is blurry you are farsighted)

 

Not necessarily. When you're farsighted your eyes mostly get strained. When you're nearsighted stuff that is far away gets blurry. "Far away" depends on how bad your vision is. For some people that could be the computer screen.
