Poll: are you bespectacled ?

[Jedamethis]

Fear my perfect eyesight!

...Are you fearing it? Oh, OK then.

Express some emotion towards my perfect eyesight!

Perfect eyesight-five? *high fives*

Odd thing is, everybody else in my family needs glasses...

 

[Vykrel]

no, but i am gonna need glasses if i ever start driving. ive got pretty bad short sightedness

 

[Cowabungaa]

Damn right I do, and I love the crap out of them. Hated them at first, but then I started looking at fashionable models, frames that fit my face and appearance. It was surprisingly easy too.

Now I can't imagine myself without them, wouldn't want to either. They look goooood.

OT: Yeah, I wear glasses, thanks for teaching me a new word, "Bespectacled", and I'm hoping to get eye surgery to NOT wear glasses anymore.

I'm just waiting until the day I can afford Lazer Eye Surgery. I know it's not the safest option, but I'd rather try it then be stuck with glasses forever.

Get a super-sexy pair of glasses and, well, become super sexy. Cheaper too, and safer.

Spread the word! Specsappeal is hot!

Nope. But with the amount of shit I put my eyes through, I'm amazed there isn't anything wrong with them.
I might have one or two small 'scars' though, from messing with them. When I look at blank white I see a few marks, which must be my eyes.

Waitwhat? Now that makes me curious.

i Wear glasses and love them, they are the only thing that gives definition to my face when I shave and without them I would only be remembered for my sweet hats.
Never understood why people don't like them, but to each their own.

My operation went really well. Went in the morning, got zapped and had plastic bubbles taped over my eyes for a couple days and then went to work. My first 2 days post-op consisted of me doing alot of sleeping in an extra dark room. Granted, my monitor screen and office were bright as hell so I was wearing sunglasses and any reading gave me a headache but it's been a year since I did it and not a problem, not even at night. The only thing I notice now is if I'm really tired my eyes feel sore when driving.

If you are interested in doing it, I'd suggest doing alot of research into the process you want as well as the reputation of the clinic and not necessarily taking the cheapest offer out there. You only get 1 set of eyes and if they get screwed up it's not like you can swap them out.

My op cost me $3400 CAD for both eyes (LASIK) but that was with the top clinic in my province and included all follow up visits and any potential touch ups if needed. A lesser clinic may charge you extra for touch ups and follow up visits.

I always wear glasses. I just can't get the hang of contacts.

I wear glasses. I wouldn't see much without them. I am a bat *flapflap*

I have my glasses for eleven years now. My sight got worse two times since them. I started with -1,25 dioptre and am now at -4 dioptre.

If you're a bat i wonder what awesome thing I would be? I recently went to test my sight, because my eyes had felt kinda strained for a couple of months. Turns out my right eye is currently at -8 and my left at -8.25. Feels bad man.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

I switch between contacts and glasses frequently, so I chose other.

 

[Kais86]

Glasses, 10 or so years.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I just got my new pair today.

And they're true Freeman glasses at that.

 

[newguy77]

Yes, for about three years. I needed them earlier, but it never really started to matter until I started driving.

 

[Ailia]

I've had glasses for almost ten years now. Bad genetics from my dad's side of the family (where almost everyone has glasses). I've been wearing contacts on occasion but for some reaosn prefer my glasses.

That's an offensive stereotype of bats. Even echolocating bats have fair long distance vision, and fruit bats rely on their sight and smell to find fruit.

I only wear glasses when I need to see detail farther than about 20' or so. Also, sometimes while driving at night or in the rain.

 

[aakibar]

glasses all the way, been this way since like fifth grade plan to keep it this way

 

[Chemical Alia]

I've had glasses for 22 years. I've had contacts too since the 6th grade, but I can't wear them much since I moved to Texas because for some reason they get really dry and tear when they're in my eyes and I have to replace them too often.

 

[C95J]

Nope, and thank god too, I reckon I would look horrible with glasses on. They just don't suit me. I wouldn't want to bother with contacts either.

 

[AWAR]

For some reason I read "bitestacled"...

OT: Oh yes I am, for the past 7 or 8 years. I'm practically blind without them so I have to wear them all the time. Laser surgery? Not for me folks, I've asked opticians if they'd do it to their children and they unanimously said no.

 

[Pandaman1911]

Why yes, I am. Discovered that I needed glasses when I jokingly tried on a friend's pair when I was 13, and said "What the hell, I can see kind of better now". I've got astigmatism (fancy speak meaning that my eyes don't focus the light right when they're both lookin' at the same thing). It's worse in my left eye, and they're both actually getting worse, and I really need to get an eye exam sooner rather than later...

 

[Macrobstar]

well i am bespectacled, most of my friends are bespectacled. so are you? and how long have you been bespectacled?

Why do you use the word bespectacled so much?

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Perfect eyesight-five? *high fives*

Wouldn't that involve us somehow hitting our eyeballs together? I imagine that'd be somewhat detrimental...

 

[King Toasty]

Yes. Since I was three. :c

Bionic lens surgery AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
