So I've been wearing Contacts for the last 7 years, but not anymore.  Yesterday I had Lasik Surgery and now I can see the world without sticking things in my eye's and it's awesome!  So I was just wondering how  everyone else saw things

BTW my prescription was -2.75.

That's a problem with her then. Most people who have the surgery they're vision stays fine.  Anyways the doctor I used has a 20/20 gaurentee, that if your vision gets worse for some reason he will "touch it up" for free.

I wear glasses. I've never understood contacts. Poking myself in the eye twice every morning isn't something that I'd want to do.

@LeadNinja: There were 5 votes before you voted, your vote is the 6th. it is a weird little bug that has been around since the poll system started.

I have no glasses or contacts, but I fear I will soon because my vision is getting increasingly worse every few months. And I am not that old; I am only in high school for godsakes.

I don't wear either glasses or contacts. Haven't had a problem with my vision, but both my parents and my younger brother wear glasses.

@Karmum: That's like my younger brother.  I have 6 people in my family, and every single one of us has needed glasses or contacts, except for him.  It's weird.

I have two older brothers who don't wear glasses or contacts. It isn't just me. It evens out three people to three people.

Contacts. Love them when I'm watching tv and reading because you can lie on your side. They get bothersome after playing games for extended periods though.

That doesn't burst my bubble; that's great for her. Why are you being confrontational?

Good doctor. Actually, it's happened to a few people I know who've gotten it. Maybe I should've clarified that I hope it doesn't deteriorate for you but I thought that was understood.

Because, just because it didn't work that well for your mom doesn't mean it won't for him. Sometimes it doesn't work, but the percentage is very low.

I've worn glasses since the 3rd grade and I don't plan on ever getting contacts or surgery.

Glasses since 5th grade.  Never ever contacts, though.  I just hate the idea of sticking something in my eye.

I use both contacts and glasses. I used to hate the idea of contacts since I could never actually poke my eye without blinking, but you really do get used to it. I had to develop my own trick to taking them out though, I just couldn't get used to the method they tried to teach me. Probably because it felt like my nails were dangerously close to my eye and one wrong move would make a small cut that would hurt like hell. xP

I'm hoping to eventually get lasik, but since I have contacts and my vision is (most likely) stable at this point I might not bother. It depends on how the price fluctuates and the risks involved. I'm sure that it's pretty safe now, but you never know- it could become even safer in a couple years.

I use glasses. Which i have used for about 4 years and I'm not one for contacts. Yeah glasses get in the way of a lot of things but they are easier to put on and clean.

I used to wear glasses but now I have contacts.  My eyesight prescription is -1.50 and -1.75.  Kinda bad, but not as bad as some other people.  The farther it is from 0 the worse the eyesight is, right?

I wear glasses most of the time, but i have a small stock of daily contacts to wear when glasses are inconvenient, like at a concert, or if i'm dressing up for some party or club or whatever.

It's just probably the people who wear glasses who are interested in clicking this thread.

Yup been wearing glasses for about 9 years now. Often have to wear tinted ones because my eyes are too sensitive to the light and generally fucked up.

I wear glasses that are about 1inch think. If I take them off, I can't see anything not even if it's a foot in front of me.

It's got nothing to do with weirdness, It's to do with not wanting to jab my finger into my eye.

Not really, but the fact that human ingenuity has overcome natural selection means that every genetic imperfection that would be ironed out through bad eggs simply dying off has proliferated into a huge melting pot of disorders, see all the fucking cunts with peanut butter allergies (I WILL EAT MY FUCKING PB&J WHEREVER THE FUCK I WANT) and whatnot. That includes glasses too.

That said, I wear contacts, and my vision is pretty bad. I'm -5.25 (I think?) in both of my eyes. Thankfully, I never have to worry about left/right contacts.

i ware contacts most of the time, but for just relaxing at home I wear glasses -  it is slightly bad that 3/4 of the people on GB wear glasses (although only 1/4 of the GB crew wear contacts/glasses (Brad))
