Let's see how many DUers wear glasses

[mvd]

I do - without them, I can see, but I'm very near-sighted and things get blurry.

[Scott Lee]

1. Regularly, but I swear that aint as rose colored as the pic...

[RC]

2. I drink ouf mine.

Have a whole set even

[mvd]

3. Wow, I'm certainly not alone

By these results. :)

Even if you just wear sunglasses, you can vote sometimes.

[dolo amber]

4. I wear them

If I didn't I would certainly have killed or severely damaged myself or someone else. I'm clutzy to start with but without my glasses the words "bull" and "china shop" some to mind. :D

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. I can't find my glasses without my glasses.

Have worn them since I was 8, contacts are not good in my ultra-sensitive eyes.

[Lars39]

6. I can't hear without my glasses, either.

:)

[dae]

20. Oh yeah? Well I can't tell how dark it is w/o my glasses!

[The Lone Liberal]

14. Dang I hate that --- lay the glasses down somewhere

then I have to find my sunglasses to be able to find my regular glasses. LOL

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. Well, I do have the option of using my computer glasses vs. the sunglasses

[sweetheart]

7. contact lenses? or glasses?

I wear daily wear disposable contacts most of the time unless my eyes are feeling tired... i cheat and wear them for a few days each...

It always amazes me how hotels can offer toothpaste, soap and cotton balls but fail to recognize that a hefty portion of guests need saline solution and a case also. Certainly if one has wound up spending the night somewhere unexpected, contacts stick like glue to my eyes if i sleep in them... but if i take them out, i can't see worth a darn... I have to make sure where the glasses are when i take the contacts out or its a long blind groping session. :-)

8. Wear glasses for reading

and since I do alot of reading I wear them at least half of the time. I used to have perfect vision but after I turned 40 my eyes started to go. :-(

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

9. At first for reading. but I have noticed of late that far away things

are clearer through the top of my progressive lenses, and they were not before.

--Sigh--and so it goes.

[eyesroll]

10. Glasses for me; I refuse to get contacts

And the odd thing is, just about everyone I ever dated has worn glasses.

[ikojo]

11. I can navigate around my apartment with ease without my

glasses...but if I want to survive outside my apartment I had better be wearing them.

[Catshrink]

12. I'm due for a new pair but not sure where to get them

The last pair I got from from Costco. The prescription was fine, but the lenses themselves sucked. They required such fussy care it was a real inconvenience to wear them. They scratched easily -- even with scratch resistent coating -- and had a funky glaze on them all the time.

So, where to go?

[Catshrink]

Sears, Target, Pearle, or Penneys?

Just got a mailing from my insurance company about our vision benefit. I've never used any of these.... any experience out there?

[fishnfla]

25. Ar coat

did you get an anti-reflective coating on your lenses?

[Catshrink]

26. Yep... I got the anti-reflective coating because I'm on the comptuer

so much. Wonder if that's what made them so susceptible to scratching? But shouldn't the scratch resistance take care of that?

[GOPisEvil]

13. Most of the time I wear contacts, but I've got my glasses on now.

I wear them rarely; mostly when I'm feeling lazy. :P

[Maddy McCall]

15. Another category: "I'm supposed to wear them but never do."

That would be me.

[THUNDER HANDS]

17. I have great vision

which is odd, because everyone in my family wears glasses.

[GOPisEvil]

18. SMILEY CANNIBALISM!!!!!

:o

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

19. MEEEEEEEEEEE

I do! I do!

[JohnKleeb]

32. I thought you were due home tommorow

:hi: welcome back
I missed you

[cosmicdot]

21. TV Nation

my little sister and me parked our little chairs in front of the old black and white in the 50s

[shanti]

22. yep

i never wore them until about age 45 (i'm 48 on monday). my vision seems to have gotten progressively worse since i started surfing the net. my "computer" glasses are always on now!

[Cadfael]

23. need my glasses

to find my glasses...god forbid i should put them down in an unusual place...

[Philostopher]

24. A few hours every day.

I'm mildly nearsighted. I wear them in the car, and to see a movie if we go to a movie or to see a band play. I get headaches from squinting, otherwise, and I'm old enough I don't want any more 'squint wrinkles' than I already have.

And I don't have to wear reading glasses. Yet. I will, eventually, but not yet. As much as everybody in my family has griped about getting used to bifocals, I imagine that's going to be a hoot.

[flamingyouth]

27. We need a "four eyes" avatar! LOL

Should post that in the ask the moderators section...

[Nay]

28. I (almost) never wear them. . .

Because I got LASIK surgery this year!! Free at last! free at last! I only have to wear them occasionally for reading or close work.

[MrSlayer]

29. Only Sunglasses

Preferably Oakley.

[JohnKleeb]

30. Interesting poll idea mvd

I dont wear glasses, I used to at age 5, I may have to wear driving glasses but I dont wear glasses even though my left eye is really bad, the problem cant be cured by glasses.

[xxqqqzme]

39. my daughter has a bad left

eye...she's had glasses since she was 2 (she's 32 now) and yes, they were/are expensive.

I keep cheapo, drug store glasses around the house so I can find my 'good' glasses. I use my good glasses for the computer.

[JohnKleeb]

41. oh

Well I didnt realize this until I was a freshman, I forget what I have.

[Sting]

31. I wear glasses...

but I prefer contacts. Glasses make me look like a dork.

[Rhiannon12866]

33. Nope, no glasses for me

I just had to take the eye test for renewing my license and I read line #10 just perfectly. I was worried about it, it's been so long since I've had my eyes examined, so that was a weight off of my mind...:-)

[bicentennial_baby]

34. Oh yes, I do

Nearsighted as a motherfucker...

[Lady Freedom]

35. I do!

Female Clark Kent by day, Naughty Supergirl by evening!hehe!

[nuxvomica]

36. Freakin bifocals and a severe astigmatism prohibiting contacts

I wore them for a while in the '80s but I can't wear them now. Probably best that I don't hav something touching my eyeballs anyway. Too bad cuz without them I am one handsome devil.

[Rhiannon12866]

38. You sure are!

;)

[Blitz]

37. I used to wear them, not anymore

Now all I wear is sunglasses. After the surgery it took me a year or more to stop taking off glasses that weren't there when I went to bed and to stop looking for them when I woke up.

In 10 to 20 years I may need reading glasses, but not right now.

[marigold20]

40. Coke bottle glasses - even my contacts are thick!

Smear your glasses with a thick coating of vaseline - then you'll see what I see without my glasses. I've had a detached retina caused by extreme myopia - but surprisingly, I see really well with my thick lenses. Now, I'm waiting to see if intra-ocular lenses are approved. I may look into them. The corrective lenses are implanted just outside your natural lens. Sounds awful, but so does Lasik surgery, which I can't have because my eyesight is too bad!
