Glasses, contacts or no need

[Wren]

I was just wondering if any of you have to wear glasses or contacts? And if you do what for: reading, or seeing farway?

I was tested when I was about 12. I had been having alot of headaches, so I wound up with glasses. I wore them steadily for about a year, and then it went to off and on. When I took the test for my driving permit, I wore my glasses, so then of course it became required for me to wear them when driving. But when I took the official test, I didn't wear them, and I passed. I haven't worn glasses, now for seven years.

One eye was worse than the other. The other is almost perfect. It seemed like the perscription for that lens was very slight, and it was only for seeing far away anyway. For a long time I wore my glasses only to take pictures. But then I got a camera with auto focus.

Well, when we tested it in Science class in 6th grade, I actually had above-average vision. Don't know if I still have it, but I don't need glasses or anything. I don't know whether I might need them eventually or not, though, cause every once in a while it's hard to focus my vision on stuff, but most of the time it's just fine.

I just had my eyes checked Friday, and I don't need anything of that type.

Also, I just realized this is my 100th post on this site!

This is only the sixth site (out of about 35) that I've done that on, so Wren should be happy she has such dedicated members.

Sweet!! *hugs Piñata* Congrats on your 100th post, and congrats on not needing glasses as well!

I only wear glasses to see things far away (i.e. more than ten feet) or to play tennis. I don't wear them while I play soccer. My near sight vision is perfect. So as long as I can still read things, I'm ok.

Yeah, as much as you read I imagine it'd be difficult to give it up.

I might get contacts to play soccer... if I do, I want to get a pair of designer contacts just to freak out everyone on the other team.

I chose glasses...Not so sure about contacts. Good topic...It reminded me I need some new glasses!
