So do you? I just got some new glasses today, so I was wondering about it.

Shevanel · 28th Jan 2010, 08:51 PM

Contact lenses since 11th grade. Had glasses from around the end of 8th till the end of 10th. For long distance.

Brandford · 28th Jan 2010, 08:51 PM

At school I wear contacts and at home I wear glasses

Zume · 28th Jan 2010, 08:55 PM

From the 5th grade up through 10th grade I wore glasses.. 11th til' now I've worn contacts.

**Lexington** · 28th Jan 2010, 08:56 PM

You betcha. I finally got a pair about eight years ago. When I brought them home, my partner asked if he could try them on. He did, then he stared at me in alarm. "Your eyes are THIS messed up?! I can't believe I let you drive my car!"

i probably should have glasses. i can't see people's facial features more than 15 or so feet away. but i'm putting it off for as long as possible cause glasses make me look like a fool.

Echidna1 · 28th Jan 2010, 09:04 PM

I wear glasses and love to wear them, they add a certain characteristic that I now can't live without them beng on my face.

Adam · 28th Jan 2010, 09:05 PM

Have had contacts since right after the 6th grade.
Have glasses but usually only wear them around my house if I need too.

28th Jan 2010, 09:06 PM

I only wear my glasses when I watch movies or take notes in class and stuff. Only for when I can't see what I want to see.

Johnnieguy · 28th Jan 2010, 09:09 PM

Yep, I wear glasses. Thinking about getting contacts though. They kind of get in the way when I want to kiss someone. And sometimes, taking them off ruins "the moment."

Edit: I also take off my glasses every time I am being photographed..I hate the reflection off the lenses.

**Gerry** · 28th Jan 2010, 11:15 PM

I wear contacts.

**Filip** · 28th Jan 2010, 11:41 PM

I wear contacts, because I can't wear glasses.
The difference between my left eye and right eye in the amount of correction needed is too big, so glasses give me a splitting headache.

Too bad, because I like glasses...

Mirko · 28th Jan 2010, 11:45 PM

I wear glasses. I have tried wearing contacts but then decided to stay with the glasses.

**Maddy** · 28th Jan 2010, 11:47 PM

Yes. They go on the minute I wake up, and they only come off when I turn out my light.

RaeofLite · 28th Jan 2010, 11:50 PM

I wear both... (not at the same time mind you

)

Where's the option for that?

Austin · 29th Jan 2010, 12:01 AM

I have lately. I've been a hermit and barely left so haven't cared how I looked. So haven't really wore my contacts. Now my eyes need to adjust again to wearing them. If I go out I usually don't wear glasses or contacts. But around the house usually glasses.

Swamp56 · 29th Jan 2010, 12:05 AM

I wear glasses for myopia and an astigmatism when I'm dealing with things that require clarity and distance. I try not to wear them for things that are close up (like working on the computer), but I typically wear them constantly when I'm out of the house.

What's odd is that I used to actually have hyperopia, or issues seeing up close.

ArcaneVerse · 29th Jan 2010, 12:30 AM

Yeah I wear glasses and have done since I was in kindergarten, never tried contacts I want to though as I'm sick of bending and breaking my glasses. But I also think I would look so weird with out them on, I've just gotten so used them being a part of me.

Davey · 29th Jan 2010, 01:33 AM

I've noticed more and more people these days wearing glasses.
I have to say I like.
Glasses give some people just like...yeah I don't know how to make this not sound creepy so I'm just gonna stop.

29th Jan 2010, 01:40 AM

Nope i dont wear glasses. I always had perfect eyesight. I obv have sunglasses for the car but i cant have them on too long. I dont really like having something over my eyes. Suppose if you had them on all the time it wouldnt be so bad and you'd get used to em. Wouldnt touch contacts tho cos thats an even worse thing for me putting something in my eyes. I cant even bear to put eyedrops in ahha.
