Glasses

I do ...most of the time when I can find them, I have several pairs dotted around the house that all hide when im in a hurry.

mmmmmmm, me, sometimes lol

xxLynnxx

only x-ray ones,,,,,,,,,,))

no shame in that is there? lol,unless it's drinking glasses,
I wear mine for driving and working in the garden,needing them after eight years working underground and ruining my sight.Badger.

Me.................*sighs*

Tried contacts, but still need glasses for reading as well and kept losing them..............or sitting on them! lol

xx

OOh Kitty your Brave I cant do contacts....I hve this natural reaction as I try to poke something in my eye to close it!!!

Takes me about 45 Mins to put them in and by then I have lost the will to live so dont bother.

Astigmatism meant I was prescribed glasses at 5 years old. Used soft contacts for a few years but infection in one eye scared me off them and now I think the time has arrived for .................


varifocals, *gasp & sob*

I wear them all the time well when I'm awake that is.

Maddie like you I cannot bear the thought of poking something in m eyes, not brave enough

lol

Me - I do

All tinted - with having photochromic eyes i have to - lights hurt my eyes and they don't adapt from light to dark and vice versa very well

lol - sign of getting old I guess !!!!!

After two days of vision being WORSE after putting lenses in, I finally twigged that I had somehow mixed up my lenses. Right lens in left eye and vice versa - stoopid girl.

Only one in my family who doesn't wear them.

I tried the varifocal contacts once...............never again, put them in and felt drunk *shudders at the memory*

Now I wake up, put my specs on and there they stay....................until bedtime.

*looks at dents in the side of my poor nose*

I do. Just got new ones and cost me £110 :(

I had glasses from 9, I was soooo short sighted! I got contacts at 30, and needed them all the time. At 65 I had cataract op om both eyes, and now my sight is good, other than needing reading glasses for small print or very close work.

I can heartily recommend the cataract ops

I do for distance stuff, can't see a thing close up with them on though so they spend half the day on top of my head.

I wear them, -I'm shortsighted.

They help me to 'hear' better too. In day to day conversation indoors, I'll put them on if someone is talking to me.(I haven't got perfect hearing)
My daughters think this is crazy but when we mentioned this to the optician recently she said I'm not alone.

Anybody else find this?

Gwyn

Only sunglasses when its sunny which aint often lol

me too, since i was 12, very short sighted, now need bi focals...iris

Glasses for me since age 45 so not done too badly. Realised I needed them one night when I was in alone and couldnt read the cooking instructions on the frozen fish...I ended up propping the packet up on the radiator and using binoculars from the other side of the room...it worked but I felt a right plonker!
