My vison is horible. I'm a -275 in one eye and a -300 in the other. I do need glasses, but I wear contacts most of the time. I didn't like wearing glasses because I hate things being on my face. It kept me from feeling "free". Sports made it hard for wearing glasses too, so contacts were a natural choice for me. I only wear glasses when I'm home at night. If my eyes get tired, I'll take out my contacts and wear my glasses for reading or watching television.

I've had glasses for about 2 years now, but i primarily wear my contacts. My vision isn't all that bad but i need them to see something a distance away.

Haha
I love when people with glasses fall into the stereotypical mindset of hating them XD

but honestly,
I don't have glasses.
I know I need them
And I'd love them.
I really can't wait to get myself a pair of glasses.

I've wanted them pretty much my entire life,
And as soon as I noticed my vision was starting to go, I got really happy.

The only problem is, I think, that my mother is lazy and we can't really afford glasses or anything right now.
So it'll probably be a little while before I actually get to have myself a pair of glasses. >:

I've had glasses for ages - around four years now that I think about it. When I first got them I promised to only wear them when I needed to but... I seem to have gotten addicted to using them. Quite unfortunately, my vision has been getting worse.

I remember getting told off by my maths teacher once for not being able to read her handwriting from the back of the room. Turned out my vision had been getting worse - although admittedly, my maths teacher at the time had rather untidy handwriting

But I agree with dcshaw.en - a lot of people look really good with glasses.

I have been wearing glasses since January 2006. Wearing glasses sometimes give me some advantage, for example while painting my home's wall, my eyes are protected from paint. Or while riding my bicycle my eyes are protected from wind or someting.
The disadvantage is I can't be active in social activities while wearing glasses, and so I don't like glasses.
I wouldn't have to wear them, but I have to.

I don't have glasses (I will turn 16 next month) and I totally don't want to wear ones. Look, the thing is I can look perfectly in the distance and see the plates of the cars which few can see, but only with my left eye. The vision with my right eye is blurry, and I can hardly do anything with it, seeing close things is also kinda blurry, but I can't see anything in the distance with it. There are regular yearly "control tests" in my high-school for height, weight, vision and so on... I totally made a fool out of myself when I should have read not the hugest, but the kinda smaller letter wrongly with 2 kids watching as they passed the doctor's exam. They have recommended me to see a specialist so I could get glasses, but as I am kinda a nerd, and putting the glasses would make me look like an idiot and I don't like wearing them and my vision isn't that corrupted (as I said I can see the car's plates from far) so I won't wear them (contact lenses maybe, but glasses NO!).

Lasik isnt for everyone as it will bring horrible side effect. I have a friend who did Lasik last year and is going fine till now while my ex-colleague did it and have starry vision 4 months after that.

IMHO, i did prefer to stick with specs. Girls dig guys with glasses . Also personally, glasses to me is another gadget. The one i currently have comes with a clip-on sunglasses and have the capability to wear a visor while wearing the glasses. Though my vision is improving after 15 years of glasses wearing, dont think i could fight off the habit of not wearing glasses now. Its part of my daily life now, hehe.
