Do you wear glasses or contacts?
Have you had corrective surgery where you don't have to anymore?
Don't need any of the above, eyes are perfect

My husband wears contacts, and I know I need to go to the eye doctor and see if I need anything. I was just curious.

Glasses wearer, which can be annoying at times. However, whenever I clean my glasses I look at the junk on them and wonder "Would this stuff end up in my eyes instead of the lenses if I didn't wear them??"

Besides, I seem to attract guys with a 'redhead in glasses' fetish (of which there seems to be plenty), so it kinda makes up for it.

I have to wear reading glasses. My last pregnancy did something to my eyes and I can't read or see things close up without over the counter glasses. I used to go to an optometrist, but it got expensive. Even though the optometrist glasses seem to work somewhat better, $10.00 bucks for reading glasses is an improvement over more than $100.00.

My man was legally blind and had thick glasses for years. He got Lasix procedure and it was unbelievable! He went from 20/8000 to 20/20 in one eye and about 20/10 in the other. He's now in his 50s, and the surgeon did tell him that he would probably need reading glasses soon. (He was nearsighted, reading glasses are for far sighted.) We can actually wear each others reading glasses. It's funny because his are never clean. Always grease and finger prints all over them. One day he couldn't read the paper and I said, "Try my reading glasses." He said he had Lasix and his vision was "perfect." I persisted (nicely) and he tried them and was like, "OMG, this is a huge difference. I can see the paper!"

I'm supposed to be wearing glasses. I can't remember what my eyesight is at, but I know that I have astigmatism in both eyes. My last prescription is almost 3 years old, and I lost the glasses about a year and a half ago I really liked those glasses, too.

I wear glasses, my eyesight is TERRIBLE. I'm thinking about getting contacts soon though. I like how my glasses look on me, but it would be fun to alternate.

I wear either glasses and contacts. I usually start the day with contacts and they feel great at first but they usually start bothering me by mid afternoon or early evening because my eyes start to dry out (I hate having to use drops constantly) so I am usually back in my glasses by dinner time.

I wear glasses, but not all the time. I can see things that are close, but not things that are far away - I have to wear them for driving, or if I'm going somewhere that I need to see (movies, a store, etc.). If I'm home, I rarely or never wear them. Just when I have to go out.

Contacts. Unless I'm too bloody tired, or lazy, to put them in. My girl will then go all on me and I'll do it anyway...

glasses 99% of the time. I just don't have time for contacts with the kids. Don't qualify for surgery..

I wear glasses now, I've been without them for 22 years... most recent eye doc visit with a new doc said I needed them. I should of been wearing them already.

Alan & I both wear glasses for reading but we've agreed that if it ever comes to needing glasses full time, we'll get Lasix.

I've had corrective surgery and love it. Wore glasses most of my life. I already know I'll still need to wear something for my left eye eventually down the road but for now I don't have to worry about it.

i wear glasses when i'm watching tv, in class, or driving. i can drive w/out them during the day (which i only do if i can't find my glasses) but can't drive w/out them at night at all. the last time i went to get a check up (a few months ago) my doctor said i don't need contacts b/c i don't have to wear my glasses all the time (& shouldn't).

20/20 vision here. Thankfully. Glasses or contacts would annoy me to no end!

I was legally blind before I had corrective eye surgery. My vision was far worse than 20/200, and if someone was standing a foot from me I couldn't tell if it was a person or an object without glasses or contacts in. I preferred convenience of contacts but they dried my eyes badly, and glasses were sexy but made it difficult to drive since I need sunglasses. Also, they slid off a lot and I hated smudges. I had lasik about 2 1/2 years ago and am grateful I could get it done! 20/20 in both eyes!

Both of us have corrective surgery - but it isn't permanent. With I could afford a touch up or artificial lenses.

We have a good variety here. I think of the most random things I know, but I'm a really curious person by nature.

I have always worn glasses. Cannot do surgical correction for MY issues. My hubby always had great eyes, and in the last year, AGE caught up and he just got his FIRST glasses. He ain't happy about it. Fighting it tooth and nail, but that's life. No pity party from me!!!!

Mr Bignuf here. RIGHT THERE WITH YA...but believe me, I WAS there...and now I am NOT. Age WILL get you. Always does. 100% of us. Annoying yes, but better then NOT being able to see a written word in front of your face!!! When I put my FIRST pair of glasses on, I realized how blind I HAD been for a while!!!!

Amazing how many folks waiting for corrective surgery. However, I know several folks who have had it, and now have halo issues at night with lights and end up needing lenses after a while anyway. I am just not sure it is all it's cracked up to be!!!
