Do you wear corrective glasses?

[koiitan]

Just a fun question to everyone, do you wear corrective glasses?
If yes, do you like wearing them? Maybe there's something that annoys you in them?

I have a quite big vision defect (around minus five) and I need to wear them all the time if I want to see anything that isn't very close to my face. They often annoy me in different situations like because of them I can't wear any cheap sunglasses without correction, but I can't put eye contacts to my eyes, I tried so many times and I'm too scared of touching my eyeballs.

Let's see how many glasses users we have here (or how many we don't).

I'm supposed to, but I don't. I'm ever so slightly far-sighted, and I own a pair of glasses that are supposed to correct it. But I don't really need them for my work, so I don't really care. I hate carrying things around when I go to places, and I also hate wearing hard things like sunglasses, jewelry etc. So no. But I really should.

I'm -1.25/-2 and I legit don't know how there are some people with worse vision than me don't wear glasses? like wth I legit feel like I can't properly function without my glasses.

I also have some contact lenses cause I'm a real cutiepie with them but wearing contacts is SO MISERABLE UGHHH

yupp! and it is a fun question! i've had glasses since i was about 4 or 5 as poor sight runs on both sides of the family. i believe the frames from back then are rattling around in my attic still. they're like fun little knick knacks to keep around and remind me of different periods of my life! my current frames cant stay still on my face as the last set got a bit too comfortable on my face. as for lens correction, i forgot to ask at the doctor  but its enough that my boss thought i was sick with how much i was squinting!

glasses can be pretty uncomfortable, contact lenses suck to put in and surgery can be expensive. some people just put up with it (somehow) props to them!

my left and right lenses are +1.50 and +0.50 respectively! my right eye has always had to try compensating for my left eye which is baaaaad!!

but uh, i got them a couple years ago now and was supposed to go in for a check up by now, so maybe that'll change when i get around to doing that!

i've had glasses for a lot of my life, i'm very thankful i've never minded how glasses look on me since i know that some people are embarrassed by them!
i've never really had the desire to get contact lenses either.. since i KNOW i would forget about them and from the couple of times i've tried colored contacts for costume reasons i also know i would not feel like using them lol

i do end up going out without glasses on sometimes but it's usually when i'm going to a standing concert and don't want them to get trampled.. i have seen my fair share of other peoples glasses on the floor and i would hate if those were either of mine!

My eyes are terrible! I've worn glasses for as long as I can remember, and contacts off and on (currently "on"). I don't know my prescription but it's really bad, like I can't read the big "E" on the chart, I have astigmatism in both eyes, and because of a birth defect that affected half my face I am very left-eye dominant.

When I wore glasses I had the most expensive options available, and insurance covered almost all of those options. Like, aspheric lenses, ant-glare, special thin material, etc. Still they were so thick I could only wear certain frames due to distortion and lens thickness. Even when I did have a good pair, the distortion was so bad I felt like my vision was still not truly "corrected" with glasses. Which is a shame because I actually like how I look in glasses 

Soft contact lenses cannot go up to my prescription, and my vision is so bad I have had two different optometrists tell me laser is not an option, because the risks are not worth the benefit, which wouldn't even be 20/20 vision. And normal gas-permeable hard contact lenses are super uncomfortable to me.

Sooo currently I'm rocking a pair of scleral hard contact lenses that my optometrist and I worked on for three months to fit correctly    They sit on the white part of your eye and sort of vault over your cornea. You fill the lenses with sterile saline like a cup when putting them on, so its just filled with saline between the cornea and the contact lens, which is way more comfortable than it sounds. It's the best vision I've ever had! Super annoying to fit (we were making adjustments of like tens of microns and it takes a week or two to get a new pair to test out each time) but it's the best I can ever realistically hope for in terms of vision quality.
