Glasses

Hey guys, tomorrow, I will be getting some glasses from Boots. Yes, I have astigmatism. It isn't as bad as my sister's though. My right eye has less of a problem. It is the bloody left eye that is the problem!

Anyways, does any of you wear glasses? If so, are you long sighted, short sighted or have you got astigmatism?

Short sighted, wearing glasses since I was about 5/6 :/

Got my latest pair for £15 online lol, prob need a spare pair as I'm pretty much fucked without -7 in both eyes :/!

I used to have glasses, but haven't had to wear them in 15 years. I'm the only one in my family without them

I also have a stigmatism (my eyes are slightly oval). I had some glasses for a few years but they kept breaking and I had to have them repaired and in the end, I got a pair of nice oakleys for about £120 and they are pretty strong (made of titanium) Which I would Highly recomend (look a few pages back on the latest purchases thread) I only really use them for computer work as well as the odd lesson if I sit at the back as it reduces the strain on my eyes as I don't need to frown.

I also have 2 floaters in my right eye (Dead cells that kind of sit there) and I only notice them when it's bright or I'm reading (occasionally) It's annoying though and I prey you don't get them, They arn't serious, just a pain in the arse.

Good luck getting some good glasses, only go for the ones that are comfortable for you and suit you the best, also make sure they are strong and sturdy and will hopefully last quite some time.

I don't wear Glasses, but as strange as it sounds I'm looking forward to needing them in later life as I always look and feel good with a pair of spectacles on.

I used to wear glasses because a have a strabismus (or a squint in other words)in my left Eye, This makes me constantly look out of my right eye which has perfect vision, I wore glasses up to the age of 15 when I went to specsavers for the first time an they told me there\'s no point of trying to strengthen my left eye anymore.

I\'ve had it since I wasa baby and the doctors wouldn\'t correct it incase I had a fit(I fitted as I was born, then put in intensive care). And I had to wear an eye-patch over my right eye untill I was 7.

I wear glasses but I take them off and rip my shirt when someone's in danger.

I'm supposed to wear glasses for my shortsightedness, but it isn't that bad (I could still easily drive without them) so I rarely wear them. I sometimes take them to the pictures so help sharpen the picture up a little, but that's about the only time I wear them.

I wear glasses a lot of ,the time, I'm short-sighted.

I wish I needed glasses, they look good on me. I could wear empty frames, but those guys tend to be tools so na.

What do you think?

Nice, Nice, Plain and simple. They suit you well.

Just joking, they suit you well.

Yeah, you're just an absolute faggot if you do that.

Only one of my 8 siblings doesn't have glasses. My eyes are 3.50 and 3.75 but the others' are far far worse. Most of my friends have glasses too.

I recently got contacts but they're way overrated, still prefer my glasses.

Short sighted, been wearing glasses for about....11/12 years now I guess. Don't really notice them.

I used to wear them. I'm still supposed to, but my eyes are fine for the vast majority of day-to-day things, so I don't wear them much.

Wow everyone on here are nerd geek-oids with quattro eyes. When your mum said you'd get square eyes from sitting so close to the TV she was talking about the square framed glasses you'd get as a result. Firefly's 12?

Astigmatism with me. My right eye is blurred and I keep forgetting to wear my glasses even though it makes stuff clearer.

I'm short-sighted and I'm meant to wear glasses, but I hardly ever do. I can see alright for most of the time anyway.

My eyesight has got worse over the last 3 years though, so I'm hoping it won't deteriorate any more.

My vision is pretty much perfect, so no spectacles for me. ^_^

They look good. And you look really young. I am not particularly surprised by this.

I believe you, but you really do look between 12 and 14 in that photo.
Still, I'm 20 and got ID'd when I bought a 15 rated game a couple of months ago...
