Do you wear glasses

[JohnKleeb]

Poll question: Do you wear glasses

Just wondering
I dont wear glasses, I used to when I was 5 and I may have to wear driving glasses.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. Yes something like it

I wear a bra...two big things and couple things running off to the side to harness it on with.

[JohnKleeb]

2. lol oops

thats bad english on my part. You would think that a self taught person would know better.

[XanaDUer]

9. I wish I had seen what you had written first...

;)

[JohnKleeb]

12. "or something like it"

just willfull ignorance. Got your pm btw.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

16. Well the grammar in my post

won't win me any awards either. :D

Sorry John...when you asked "DO you wear glasses or anything like it?" I immediately said to myself, "Well, a bra is kind of like glasses."
In reality, glasses don't keep your eyeballs from dropping to your knees. :D

[JohnKleeb]

19. no need to be sorry

by something like it I meant contacts. If anyone wears a monocle I will laugh my stupid ass off, :shrug: because those are so very old school lol and weird looking.

[Kenneth ken]

22. strangely

I just watched Heathers on dvd today. Winona Ryder wears a monocle in a couple scenes in that film.

[JohnKleeb]

24. girls in monocles sheesh

:eyes: thats when you know the country is going to hell. If I see a monocle I think of a british aristocrat.

[Droopy]

6. Somehow, I don't think that's what John had in mind

when he said that. LOL!

[JohnKleeb]

10. thats not what I had in mind indeed lol

I just ignorant.

[CalebHayes]

3. I should be but I always lose them.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. Since I was 8

I have progressive myopia, which is still progressing nicely, thank you. I think the technical term for my lenses is 'coke bottle bottoms', which dates me, because I'm referring to the glass bottles soda used to come in.

[BigBigBear]

5. I will within months

Made it to almost 46, but I can't read menus or phone books anymore.

[SW FL Dem]

31. Same here

Still have 20/20 vision, but at 46 I got my first pair of reading glasses. I still forget to take them with me to restaurants. It's humiliating to rely on my son to read the menu for me. Luckily, Costco (a good corporation that supports Dem candidates and treats its employees very well) has a three pack of reading glasses for around $20. I now have a pair at my desk, one at the kitchen table to read the paper and one in my purse.

7. for those who said other

you dont wear monocoles do you, those things freak me.

[SarahB]

8. I'm really near-sighted, so it's contacts or glasses all the time.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

11. I wear both

I'm blind as a bat without glasses or contacts. Been wearing them since 3rd grade.

[bigendian]

15. That reminds me of the time.....

I put on my contacts and THEN put on my glasse just to see how weird everything would look!

[sweetheart]

13. i'm -6.5 diopters..

and either wear glasses or daily disposable contacts (that i dispose
every 4 days or so). Otherwise, i have to be 2 feet away from
someone to recognize them... or closer... i don't go there.

I'm optically disabled. Odd that i've had to pay for this sort
of medical treatment my whole life with or without insurance, as if
it is not a medical condition?

[gyopsy]

14. I have poor vision but no I don't

I'm ashamed of glasses. The last thing I need are glasses to make me look like even more of a nerd.

[LastKnight]

17. i usuially wear contacts but sometime i wear glasses when...

i want that sophistacted - intellectual look... or whatever... lol

-LK

[mvd]

18. Yes, I have to all the time

Fortunately, I think I look nice with them.

[Kathleen04]

20. Yep, just got them about a month ago..

I just had my eyes checked on a whim cause I realized I'd never had them checked before and it took me a long time to figure out what things far away said..

So, I'm nearsighted and I wear them driving, walking around, and in class but don't wear them at home or while reading.

[rocktivity]

21. I'm a textbook case of over-40 vision

About four years ago, small type suddenly became hard for me to read. But my three sisters endured a similar fate, so it wasn't all that traumatic. So I got my +15% glasses, and I've been taking a multivitamin with lutien. I'm happy to say that my eyes haven't gotten any worse, and as long as I don't need glasses for watching TV or driving, I'm happy!

:headbang:

[Cleita]

23. Since the fourth grade. I should have had them sooner.

Thats almost sixty years.

[amazona]

25. no reason for glasses between age 25 and 45...

...that's why God gave us Lasik!

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. "You have eyes shaped like footballs." This is what I heard

last appt. As a Packer fan I was thrilled! Not. It's multifocals for me. But I still cheat and take them off when at home doing nothing. :hi:

[ashling]

27. I hate having to look for my glasses

since I need them to be able to find things, and I can't find them without them, but if I already had them, looking for them would be sort of pointless.

Oh hell, lets bomb Iraq.
:nuke:

[SOteric]

28. Perhaps in an effort to make up for all the infirmities I'm endowed with

I actually have excellent vision in both eyes. My eyes are amoung a small few of my body parts that are still working to the manufacturer's specification.

[tedoll78]

29. I would get laser surgery..

but I HATE HATE HATE the idea of anything coming near my eyeballs, and the doc needs to clamp-open my eyelids ('Clockwork Orange,' anyone?). Once they can do the procedure with me soundly knocked-out, I'll consider.

[pagerbear]

33. I'd like to get laser surgery done

Maybe I'll do that instead of travel for a vacation this year.

[LWolf]

30. Yes.

Getting a new pair next week.

I need them for distance; driving, especially at night, and watching tv.

[jus_the_facts]

32. I voted other....I should be wearin' glasses....

.....lost the only pair I owned...haven't been able to afford to have 'em replaced...I only have like 10% vision in my left eye...got my first pair o'glasses at 2yrs believe it or not....wore 'em till age 9 but they never improved the vision in my left eye so I quit wearin' 'em....was always 20/20 in my right eye dispite the apparent near blindness in my left...untill a few years ago...now I'm near-sighted...have a hard time focusin' on stuff far away and reeeally need another pair. x(

[DS1]

34. I could,

but normally I don't have to, unless I want to see some very fine detail like going on a nature walk.

[GOPisEvil]

35. Contacts most of the time. But I wear my glasses from time to time.

I'm actually quite blind from past 18 inches or so. I can read without my glasses just fine. :-)

[T_i_B]

36. Since I was 4 years old

I'm naked without 'em!

[Bride of Cthulhu]

37. yup

Been wearing them since i was 5. Fortunately they come in so many styles it's easy to find the right ones.

[Padraig18]

38. I wear both.

Not at the same time, of course. :)

[Bonhomme Richard]

39. Now I do.............

My eyesight was always 20/15 but when I hit 40 it all started going to shit. First reading glasses which kept getting stronger and now regular glasses. It sucks big time.

[m-jean03]

40. Funny that so many of us wear them.

I've been four-eyed since I was 10, how about you?

[name not needed]

41. i have bionic optic implants

and i can see right through you
