I got glasses..
« on: January 05, 2007, 06:25:06 pm »
I have glasses now for reading and distance..  *sigh*

Atleast I don't have to wear them all the time!
The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

What's wrong with that? I had bifocals back in 7th grade, but then in another prescription they were changed to.. monofocals? Anyhow, I wear glasses.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

I had bifocals in middle school, too.  Meh... I just don't want to wear them. :(

Then get contacts. :P

Glasses are self-annoying at worst. People used to get made fun of them, but then we graduated to middle school. :P

I don't have to wear them all the time, so contacts would just be annoying.

I have contacts and glasses, the contacts are definately more of a pain than the glasses.  I generally keep my glasses in my bookbag and use them only for class.  I really only wear my contacts when I want to play football/frisbee/etc

join the club man!

Contacts blow.  They're much less annoying when they're in and aren't irritating your eyes, but for some reason, I'm unable to wear the kind I have comfortably for more than a day.  They're Night and Days, which are supposed to allow for up to a month of continued wear, but over the few years I've had them, the time between "breaks" has increased from a month to a day.  I'm going to get a new kind next time I order 'em.

Glasses aren't that bad, I had them for years.

Meh.. I just don't want them!! :(

I have two pair, so it's kind of a pain in the ass to haul around both pairs.  One is for reading and other close up activities and the other pair is for distance.  I guess I was straining my eyes so much with close up things that they are starting to act like they are near sided, too.  *sigh*

Atleast the distance ones are corrective lenses, but the farsided ones might not be.. I can't remember ><!

She did.  But the lab person said that it is for old people and that since I wanted no-line bifocals my space of vision for my reading would be very small.  And it would take 10 days to get my non-reflective thing on it, so eh?

I've been wearing contacts for like, 10 years or so now.  And I love 'em.  I've had very few problems with contacts.

I think i need a new pair of glasses, mine are getting out of prescription and they are all  scratched up. The only thing bad about contacts is if you have been wearing glasses a long time and then you switch to contacts its like your a whole new person.

Too bad I can't wear contacts.  I don't need glasseson at all times, so eh?

Haha, yeah.  When my friend went from glasses to contacts it was very obvious.  It was a lot to get used to.  It looked as if he wasn't complete or something.
