Radiation? Is your monitor located in Chernobyl by any chance?

I need them a bit for my left eye because it goes lazy and won't focus properly when I'm tired. My dad has the same issue so it's a genetic thing most likey. My eyes aren't bad enough in general to need them though so I haven't bothered with getting any.

They don't switch from focusing on long to short distances as quickly as they should either which makes say seeing a sign onm the highway really hard but glasses sadly can't fix that issue. The eye doctor stated it as they focus well but at about a third the speed that most peoples do.

lol. Of course not.
But I was using CRT monitor around 4 years. Glad that I have laptop now with LCD monitor.

I have excellent vision. It's kinda bizarre actually, everyone else in my family needs glasses except my oldest brother who by all means should have a monocle, his right eye is fine, but his left is terrible.

I wore glasses ever since the 5th grade. It was at first just to see the board from far away, then my eyes just got worse and worse and my prescription got higher and higher. I hated wearing glasses, but now I finally got contacts and I've been wearing them for a year with no trouble.

BUt I've been breaking all the contact wearing rules. I usually keep them in for atleast 12 hours. Usually every single day. Sometimes I fall asleep for 5-6 hours in them. Etc. It's only a matter of time before I go blind, fuck.

Well I do wear glasses. I normally don't, because my vision isn't all that bad (only 20/50, just barely bad enough to require them when driving) , but if I need to shoot something or find my way around a new part of the wonderful USA, out they come.

And nope, no glasses for me. The optometrist tried though when I went to have my eyes checked last, stabbed me in the eye with the piece of cardboard he was supposed to be holding over each eye while I was reading.

I do wear corrective lenses, and have needed them since 7th grade. I prefer to wear soft contact lenses, but will occasionally pop on the frames when my eyes need a rest.

I'm nearsighted enough to need glasses, but I've always hated taking care of them and broken every pair I've had. I just gave up after that, but now that I'm going to have the insurance plan thing in a couple months I'll probably get glasses. Having to decide which frames to get is a bitch, too. I hate making fashion choices. I probably would wear the most basic black frames, but now that anything "emo" people do is endlessly referred to as "emo" in a negative way, that's not really an option.

Contacts seem even worse, but maybe I'm just being ignorant. Put little thingies right on my eyeballs? I don't know...

Laser surgery isn't too cheap, I would guess, but that sounds like the best plan right there. Unless they don't put you to sleep during the procedure. I can't sit there and watch them torture my eyes.

I wear, well, actually, I have glasses, I never got used to using then, I actualy don't need then for daily stuff, just for read, and I usually am too lazy to find then.

I've only been wearing glasses regularly for three years now. I can't believe that's all it is. They were prescribed to me in 5th grade, but I rarely wore them; I couldn't see anything on a chalkboard for all of grade school except for roughly a year that I tolerated contacts, and my senior year, when I started wearing my glasses all the time.

I'm near-sighted; not blind by any means, but the distance I can make out numbers and words is quite limited.

I got my glasses in elementary school and I've been wearing them constantly since high school. I just wish I didn't need a new prescription every year. Darn eyes...

Yes, I wear eyeglasses. I didn't have to maybe five years ago, but these days I really need them to be able to read for more than half an hour or so.

My eyes are pretty crappy. I need to buy stronger lenses about once a year because my eyes don't seem to ever want to stay the same shape. I used to wear my contact lenses almost exclusively, but now it's more my glasses since I bought some D&G frames. I've got to get my money's worth out of these things!

yes... since i was 6. and i think it was wrongly prescribed when i first got my glasses which might explain why my eyes became progressively worse. now my eyes are terrible with an addition with astigmatism. hopefully they'll design cheaper contacts for eyes like mine so i can get rid of these things.

I wear them as well. I wonder what real influence computer has on eye-sight. I noticed many Chinese people have bad eyesight, so maybe it has genetical also a big influence. My father wears glasses, just like my grandmother. And in their time there weren't any computers yet. I believe that bad eye-sight is mostly genetic inherited but things like computers can cause it to be even worse.

For the most part, your eyeballs cannot feel them (or much of anything else, except for the sensation of dryness...). Its your eyelids that have to get used to wearing contacts. The first few weeks of wearing the lenses, you notice them pretty much all of the time. Eventually, you develop calluses on the insides of your eyelids that make wearing the lenses more comfortable, and then you don't notice them at all. After that, you just need to make sure that when you put them in your eyes are nice and lubricated, and the surfaces of the lens are free of debris. Even the smallest speck of dust or hair on the lens will feel like you have a boulder in your eye. You also have to make sure that there are no tears in the lens, and that you aren't putting them in inside-out (soft lenses have a bevelled edge that will scrape against the inside of the eyelid if you put them in wrong. Not damaging, but annoying as hell)

The thought of touching your eye might make you squeemish, but you get used to it. I can push my eyeball around all kinds of ways with my (clean) index finger.
