A simple question about glasses

Something's being bugging me for a while now, and I've been wanting to post it here for quite a long time, but I held back on the basis that I thought it might be too personal to ask here...

..Then I thought again, and I realised it wasn't that personal at all.


So tell me guys; How many of you wear Glasses IRL?

I sort of do?

I have astigmatism and its degrading, but I can still see fine normally, its just like switching from regular TV to HD. Plus I look better with glasses apparently.

Ditto, but I also wear glasses.
The lenses aren't actually that strong, they just provide me with a bit of extra focal ability >x>

Sounds pretty similar to my issue. I can't see lit up writing very well unless I'm standing right in front of it - the glasses just remedy that.

Lulz, i've probably asked and said much more personal stuff than that all around the topics >3>

Anyways, i wear glasses, and without them i'm practically BLIND. My lenses degree (or whatever you call it) it's at 4.0 or so...if i take them off right now, i DEFINETLY can't see what i'm typing, i just see blur i can't identify at all (though i can somewhat understand the big "A simple question"...somewhat, mostly because i already know it says that X_X), and i'm standing quite close to the laptop screen. It's not like objects suddenly disappear or anything, and i won't definetly run into a wall while not wearing them...but just don't make me read anything or identify anything smaller than the size of my hand and/or 5 feets away from me. Else i'll just tell you it's a "random colorful cloud" D8

Plus, i just look damn hot with eyeglasses on. Like a hawt geeky dude ~3~ lol

indeed i do. but they're not strong at all. my vision isn't bad. i'm nearsighted. I really don't need to wear them but i find it easier to wear them than keep up with them.

Whatever TheSorrow said. I only read "I take them off, I'm blind." And "If I take them off, I definitely can't see what I am typing."

I took them off and tried... I really did.

Same here. I also only wear glasses because I'm too lazy to learn how to/put in contacts every day.

I was thinking about getting contacts for sports, seeing as I play hockey, and that 'aint a safe sport to wear glasses with... especially if a stick hits you in the face.

I could probably get by without 'em, but I wear 'em anyway. Plus I've kind of turned into a glasses lover, so all the more reason to keep them.

Besides which, I'm almost certain my vision is slowly deteriorating, so all the more reason, right?

staring at a screen can do things to your eyesight. Or at least, that's why I wear glasses.

Or practically glomping a cathode ray TV screen while your brother (or you...though you were 3 years old at best and didn't know WTF to do) was playing on the NES for hours straight.
Yeah kids, your parents weren't lying or trolling you with all those warnings about watching the TV too close O_< ...Well, nowadays we have LCD and LEDs and kids no longer watch TV but YouTube on their iPhones, but i guess the same kinda applies. lol

If it contributes anything to the topic, or even if it doesn't but i feel like saying so...i wear glasses since i was around 9-10 years old >3>

I started to wear reading glasses from a young age. It wasn't my choice, but I've had to get stronger ones each year. Now I wear Bifocals, but more or less for reading.

I've only been wearing 'em for about.. a few months at best? I knew my eyesight had deteriorated from when I was smaller, but I didn't officially get it checked until a few months ago, because I just thought that everyone saw bright writing from a distance as if it was blurry >_<'...

I'm living proof that THAT, sir, is misinformation.

I got them a few years ago (4 I think?) and have been noticing my eyesight still going downhill, VERY slowly.

They've done tests and have said that "Eating Carrots doesn't really improve your eye site"
