Re: Do you have perfect vision or do you have glasses/contacts?This sounds so very appealing.(Original post by Sméagol, blad!)
You must join us in the Misty Mountains.
The mountains helped us get big shiny eyes and trained us to see in the dark to catch those nasty goblinses when we're hungry.

Re: Do you have perfect vision or do you have glasses/contacts?I wear glasses and apparently they make me look older than I am and clever, which I always find useful
I was hoping to get laser eye surgery in a few years time but I can't be bothered.

Re: Do you have perfect vision or do you have glasses/contacts?I first got glasses when I was 7 years old. At 16 I moved onto contacts. At the age of 28 now I wear contacts most of the time (glasses only first thing in the morning and last thing at night) and my contact prescription is -7.5 (both eyes the same).

Re: Do you have perfect vision or do you have glasses/contacts?Meeeee! When I try on those sunglasses with large lenses I just look like I've got insect eyes.(Original post by OU Student)
Does anyone else still wear childrens' glasses? I have to; as ladies ones are far too big. -

Re: Do you have perfect vision or do you have glasses/contacts?Yes! I can wear adults' ones, but they just look too big. You're not alone!(Original post by OU Student)

Re: Do you have perfect vision or do you have glasses/contacts?It seems very odd that so many people here need glassess or lenses.
I don't, and it's always seemed to me that the majority of people don't either - I wonder if there's some reason why there's such a high concentration of people who do require such aids on TSR... -

Re: Do you have perfect vision or do you have glasses/contacts?I have glasses which I use for looking long distances and probably for driving to
But I don't really understand, my prescription is something like 0.5 and 0.75 which is regarded as very small to the point where I don't need glasses, but why is there such a big difference in my long range vision then when I put then on? Surely if it's small then a small increase in my vision is the result? -

Re: Do you have perfect vision or do you have glasses/contacts?I went for a check-up after not being able to see small writing on the board.
I was diagnosed with delayed onset myopia and was prescribed glasses.
But I don't like them, don't think they suit me and don't wear them (I'm a stubborn git). I don't want to grow dependent on them so make do :-) -

Re: Do you have perfect vision or do you have glasses/contacts?I've had glasses since I was 3, lol. I got told I only needed them for reading when I was about 16 but I'd worn them for so long and I read all the time so I just couldn't prise them off my face ^^ they're practically a part of me now

Re: Do you have perfect vision or do you have glasses/contacts?I used to wear glasses between the ages of 9 and 11, but they seem to have corrected themselves and I no longer need them *touch wood*
I'll probably need them again when I'm older, though. -

Re: Do you have perfect vision or do you have glasses/contacts?I wear glasses and contacts for short-sightedness, but last time I the optician said that when I have them on my vision is better than 20/20 so I'm not that fussed

Re: Do you have perfect vision or do you have glasses/contacts?-5 and -4.5 so things are pretty blurry without my glasses/contact lenses. I much prefer my contacts though and only ever wear my glasses when I need to take my dog out early in the morning.
And yes, when your eye sight is bad, trying on glasses/contacts for the first time is an amazing experience. It's like being used to a black and white tv all your life only to be given a HD TV.
