Is that what we call color-blindness?

What's cool is that no one has yet reported in as blind, but as the technology improves, we probably will...

Blessed with 20/20 vision. Like someone said before, it's nice to see the world in all its detail.

I wear contacts all the time.
 
But I wear glasses early in the morning, late at night, or when I want to look like a pissed off angsty teenager.

Man, I never could get superglue to work for glasses repair.  Cry

So, you've come up with a couple of fresh ideas, so why not implement them? Tongue

Are you afraid of being overshadowed by the shaving poll?

Perfect as to say. I'm really glad I can see stuff people can't even with glasses on. It also gives a lot more detailed image of the world around you. I wish I'll never lose my vision. Even though glasses are in fashion. One might get those glasses with lenses +/-0

I wear glasses and in some unexplainable way I'm proud of it.

If you do have laser surgery, what happens if you blink at the wrong time? Will you be able to see with your eyes closed? And won't the light disturb you when you're trying to sleep?

I've worn glasses from the age of 9 up until now and I've always enjoyed them, although I'd be willing to try contacts.

Glasses FTW.
 
They define thine face, make me look smart, and people always say I look handsome in them.
 
Well those are true, minus the handsome part.

My eyes are slightly off (about +.25 & +.50), but not bad enough for me to actually wear the glasses I have...

My wife had -7.5 & -8.5 shortsightedness & wore contact lenses (was virtually blind without them)... then she had corrective laser surgery; she now has better eyesight than me - best money we ever spent, totally life changing, recommended 100%

I've worn glasses since the 3rd grade.  When I was about 30 (some years ago now) I tried contact lenses when technology had advanced to the point I could wear them, but they made me feel naked!  Seriously.

I had to go with something else

Because I don't wear any corrective eye wear, but I should.
Like, I need it, just dont do it

As for girls in glasses, DEFF hot.
