I'm quite myoper and wear glasses (-8 in both eyes). I used to wear contact lenses but my eyes can't have them anymore. But that's okay, I still look good Cool
 
The only thing... I need reading glasses as well, or multifocus... Geek

Don't wear anything, but by no means do I have perfect vision.

Glasses. Clap

Though I only need them for reading, I wear them all day, because without it becomes nearly painful to focus on things. Contact lenses.. I don't know what I am doing wrong, but they make me water..

I use glasses since I was 7 years old.
 
Not too strong, I need them to drive nbecause my myopia is 2.5 in one eye and 3.5 in the other, but lately I have problem to read also (That I never had), so I'm trying to get used to progressive glasses, but it's hard.
 
I even have my sunglasses made with measure, so I can drive in summer.
 
I can read without glasses, but not too small font like te telephone guide.

Certainly not sir! I've seen many (well...many could be a exaggeration...I find women today [at least younger women] don't care for glasses) women look hotter in glasses (though pretty good without them as well...Tongue).
 
As for me, glasses. Not to good eyesight without them.
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

Don't worry Tardis, there's no scientific evidence that your masturbation will leave you blind or make grow hairs in the palm of your had. LOL

I had to go with something else

Because I don't wear any corrective eye wear, but I should.

As for girls in glasses, DEFF hot.

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.

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%

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.

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.

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?
