How many people wear Glasses/Contacts?

**ian** · 02-04-2006, 01:14 AM

I am one of those people who were diagnosed as needing glasses, but never ever wear them. I can read what I need to read just fine, so I dont see any point in wearing them, plus I always pass my drivers licence eye test without glasses.

Actually, I just remembered that I used to wear reading glasses when I was like 6. But I hated them so much, that I refused to wear them, and my mom just gave up making me.

but my eyes are perfect now. I can't say the same about my hearing, though, loud music isn't exactly good for the ear drums.

i dont wear glasses but i'm convinced i should because i keep getting problems focussing on things, however the optician says otherwise.
i used to wear glasses when i was a kid and i looked like a complete nerd lol

I was one of those kids who wore the dorky- way to big for your face - glasses in elementary school. ...But, since I wore them religiously, the glasses actually corrected my vision which is very close to "perfect"!

So, how many people wear glasses, and how many dont?

It may be nice to note, Titanium is not only more expensive than aluminum, it is also heavier.. and also stronger.

I've been wearing glasses for nearly 8 years. My first pair of glasses were kinda big but now they're smaller and more stylish. And no, I do not look like a stereotypical nerd, I look like a rocker/gamer nerd if that makes sense at all.

Yea my eyes are fine, i just cant focus on something for more then 2 secons without them unfocusing for a split second, its not that bad because i can look at a print and copy a small image in my head for me to read

I once had glasses but I had to get contacts for baseball.
