<p>My vision is 20/40 in both eyes and I have mild astigmatism, so I wear glasses in class to help see the board and sometimes if I have a headache.</p>
<p>Do you wear glasses? If so, when, and what's your vision like?</p>
<p>I can, but I wear contacts all of the time (except for sleep)</p>
<p>Yep, and my vision is terrible without them on.</p>
<p>Yes. I’m nearsighted and also have astigmatism, so everything that’s more than an arm’s length away from me is extremely blurry to me.</p>
<p>Yeah. I had Keratoconus, two corneal transplants from '09-'12, and now I wear glasses to see 20/20.</p>
<p>I wear glasses and I have astigmatism as well.</p>
<p>nearsighted with -8.0 in both eyes ftw</p>
<p>I have them and maybe wear them for a few hours a week. I have contacts too and wear them … yeah I wore them twice over the past month o.O I can see, but my vision just isn’t perfect. I wear them when there is eye strain.</p>
<p>I’m also nearsighted, so I wear my glasses in class and while driving - other than that I could use them, but they annoy me at my computer so I don’t use them there. </p>
<p>A ton of my classmates wear glasses… </p>
<p>That said, I still don’t understand the heavy plastic glasses, I tried a pair on once and it felt like looking through a periscope or something. O_o</p>
<p>I’ve worn glasses since I was about 10. The walk home from the optometrist’s was amazing - I’d never realized that trees had individual leaves before (this may explain my grade in art!).</p>
<p>My current vision is 20/200 uncorrected.</p>
<p>Yep, and I’m also nearsighted.</p>
<p>I’m blind as a god damn bat without glasses. I can never remember my uncorrected acuity but it’s bad. If I hold a bottle of Coke away from me at arm’s length then I can’t read the little calorie label (not the nutrition facts) at all. I wear glasses all the time except when sleeping obviously.</p>
<p>i dunno what my vision is, but I hate wearing my glasses. every time i take them off, I get these red imprints left by the nose pads. And every time I put them on, I feel like my eyes have to do more work to see things. I almost never wear them.</p>
<p>does anybody else have this problem?</p>
<p>I’ve thought about contact lenses, but after seeing the way people put them on, I’m a little freaked out. just a little…</p>
<p>My vision is really bad, to steal ThisMortalSoil’s example I can’t read the words “nutrition facts” off a bottle at arms length, it’s just a blurry black spot. Plus I have an astigmatism. </p>
<p>I can’t do stereoscopic stuff for my image interpretation because my eyes are so bad. It’s great.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m -8.5 in both eyes. But I don’t need reading glasses yet.</p>
<p>I don’t understand these numbers. I’m pretty sure I’m like -3.5 in both eyes and I seriously would be screwed without my glasses. How can you have -8 and not need glasses?</p>
<p>^I need glasses for distance, but I can see up close OK. That’s pretty common, until you get to your late 40s or so and need glasses for reading, also. THAT’S a pain, from what I understand. Even if you wear contacts for distance, you still have to wear glasses to read. Blech.</p>
<p>I wear glasses for astigmatism. My main problem is with reading. If the book is more than a foot or so away, everything is very blurry. I was getting headaches from eyestrain.
My mom says when I was little I always held books really close to my face and she thought it was because I was shy and trying to hide, but it was because my vision was bad.</p>
<p>I don’t wear glasses, though everyone else in my immediate and extended family does except my grandmother. However, I remember being told that my vision was significantly better than 20/20 a few eye exams ago, and at this most recent one it was 20/20. My guess is that I’ll come to need glasses three or four years from now.</p>
<p>Worn glasses since I was 6 years old, practically blind without them, very weak eye-sight. It generally grows on you though. Even though I have the opportunity to get laser eye surgery, a part of me doesn’t want to abandon my glasses, the same pair which I’ve had for the past decade.</p>
