I wear contact lenses all the time (except at night obvs) as I am really blind but when I am wearing my glasses I think that this happens to me.
To be honest I am amazed that I can wear contacts as my prescription is like -7.5 in one eye and -7.75 in the other.
Funfact: If I put my glasses on with my contact lenses I can see the same as if I had no glasses or contact lenses on. Maybe a bit better.

Flem, -7? I'm still -1.7 I think, maybe -2 in one eye and I feel blind as a bat without my glasses on.

Also- don't go to specsavers for your sight test. They're *****. I went there a few months ago, signed in and everything, had the pre-checks and was told to take a seat. 40 minutes later I still hadn't been seen so I asked the receptionist and she looked surprised I hadn't been seen.

She went to find my notes and couldn't locate them, which was odd as I had had the pre-checks done and had seen my notes get placed just outisde the optician's door.

So she knocks on the door of the optician to ask about my notes, turns out the optician thought the woman she was currently attending to was me.

-_-

So that woman clearly was in need of a hearing test too, for she obviously answered to my name being called out. The receptionist looked incredulous and asked the optician if she had confirmed the address or date of birth with the patient and she said NO. But that she asked the patient if she was still on her stomach medication and the woman just looked at her blankly.

I was not amused.

And then when I finally had my sight test, the optician seemed really incompetent and when I got my prescription she for some reason had actually under corrected one of my eyes and the lens is weaker than it was before. So now I am squinting all the time and getting headaches because my glasses are wrong.

Not happy.

I just saw the other day- you can now get lenses that don't steam up! Anti fog lenses!!!



Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…

you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.

this has excited me!

Any had lazer eye surgery? I think about it sometimes but apparently you go blind for a day after and that would just scare the crap out of me. And classes make me look intelligent so maybe I shall keep them.

I have had laser eye surgery, last June. You don't go "blind" as such, just you do need to take a day off from stuff and go around in sunglasses.
Feel free to direct any questions in my general direction.

I am meant to wear my glasses for most activities involving print, generalised focussing on anything! - but yes they get in the way. It's a new thing having my sight corrected and noone warned me of the difficulties enjoying a coffee/tea!

I love my glasses although there are annoyances that comes with wearing them. The kind I have now are the plastic framed (I just assume they are plastic since I have no idea what it is actually called) and they haven't ended up broke or bent like my old wire rimmed classes always seemed to end up.

Steam is defiantly a problem but without my glasses everything is blurry and I can't really see where I am going so I fall and run into walls more often than normal.

What annoys me the most is how apparently my glasses are dust collectors (if their is even one spec of dust in a room it finds it's way to my glasses and drives me crazy since it is all I can focus on.)

I also have the issue of when I am putting a shirt on my glasses tend to get in the way and I end up knocking them off. (I guess most of my problems come from the fact that I forget I am wearing them in the first place since they just feel like another part of my face.)

I find it annoying how I can't really wear my glasses in the shower (I have fallen and knocked things over numerous times because of how bad my vision is.) They need to make glasses that I can wear in the shower.

This, combined with other practical inconveniences related to glasses wearing, is the reason why my glasses are gathering dust somewhere under my bed. I don't wear them, it's too much effort and I don't like having things on my face that will probably fall off and break because I'm extremely clumsy.

As such, my plan is to avoid wearing them until my eyesight deteriorates to the point where I'm virtually blind, then I'll go get laser eye surgery. Or contacts.

Of course I'm sane, when trees start talking to me, I don't talk back.

My main problem with being a glasses wearer is when something hits me in the face. (Normally when I drop my phone when falling asleep, lying in bed, which happens far too much.) I know it hurts anyway, but with glasses I find it more painful. The nose piece crushes your nose, and if your lenses are as thick as mine, the lenses can cut into your eyebrows or cheek. They are annoying things, and sadly I've been told contacts arent really an option. They do provided amusement though, like when a group of glasses wearers swap glasses around so noone can see. (I have too much time on my hands)



If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!!!

When I used to wear glasses, my brother always managed to hit/throw something that landed on my face. Ouch.

I really want to answer this due to wearing glasses but I don't get the question. XD I can see when I drink with my mugs, but a beaker I'm not sure. XD
