    I had them, now I don't. LASIK, people, is the greatest modern non-essential invention/procedure. It's awesome.

    I have glasses and would never trade them for contacts. Just thinking about sticking things so close to me eyes give me shudders.

    [​IMG] Wow, I'm amazed, first of all simply because so many people have voted for your poll and secondly because so many people have glasses. I would have guessed the results to be more like the opposite of what they are. I'm glad I don't have glasses or contacts.

    I have glasses but I only use them for driving when I need to be able to read street signs in the distance. I originally got my glasses to read the overheads and blackboards in the large lecture halls during my university days but that is a thing of the past.

    I am supposed to wear glasses, but I never do. I passed my driver's licence without them. Because of my astigmatism, glasses give me a whalloping big headache -- I know that a few weeks of use would acclimate me, but basically I'm weak ;)

    There is absolutly no way that my computer moniter could hurt eyes. I'm saying this because I've played computer games since I was three, and still have great vision, in fact, I have better vision than anyone else that I know!

    Isn't it a curious coincidence that surfers and players at SP wear glasses? :D

    -3,5 and -3,75

    I've worn glasses since I was 7 or so and I have never even though of contacts. Honjestly. They can't even MAKE contacts that would fix my eyes! They are so messed up! I wear purple-rimmed glasses :p the strengths are -3,5 and -12. My sight worsened year after year until it stiopped last year, and after I get enough money to pay for an operation I'll have my eyes lasered so that I won't need glasses any longer. And the best part? The -12 is so bad that the åpublic health care will pay for the operation. I'll just have to pay the other eye myself :)

    [​IMG] I have been on computers and such since I was seven, seven years on my eyesight is still what it was but I still find strong light a hassle, did then as well but now it is a bit worse. I need an eye test soon - maybe I'll be able to shed more light then - so to speak.

    [​IMG] Wow Arabwel, i didnt know anyone with so much difference before :p

    Anyway i usually wear glasses (when i dont forget to ;) ) becouse i still hope to improve my sight so that some day i'm not gonna have to wear them anymore :rolleyes:

    -1, -1.5

    At least i know how i ruined my eyes:
    Reading without proper light for years :(

    I dont belive that bad sight comes from over-monitor-looking, when you have a decent screen ofcourse.

    Nope, no glasses. I am getting my eyes checked in a while though. Just a routine check, for no specific reason. I'd just like an official statement that my eyes are 100% a-okay. (same for hearing)

    I can't believe that only me, Faragorn, Kovalis, Japer, and Reenorp don't have glasses. At least those are the people that posted.

    I wear glasses. I will never wear contacts, only the idea of such a thing being in my eye makes me shiffer. I actually like my glasses.
