Poll: are you bespectacled ?

[FalloutJack]

I say, old chap! Aren't spectacles a type of glasses specifically? As in something of a sub-category in that heading?

 

[Zhadramekel]

Yup. I've technically needed them since I was 7 but I never wore my glasses so my sight went back to normal. It got bad again when I was 11 and I've worn glasses constantly since then.

Nope. Not according to Mirriam-Webster, anyway. Glasses [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/glasses] and spectacles [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/spectacles] are synonyms in this context.

On topic: yes, I wear glasses, have since I was four years old... but I first burned my eyes with snow-blindness as a child. Later it was powder-burns as an adult. I imagine my gaming contributed as well, what with the tiny tube TVs I used in the 80s and 90s, though.

I DON'T WANNA JAM THINGS IN MY EYES

(I mean yes.)

 

[Icaruss]

Aye, They's prudty.Just bought a new pair about three months ago after going wihtout for about three years (on account of being poor).Its so wonderful being able to see futher then three feet in front of me.

 

[Android2137]

I SHOULD be wearing my contacts, but I don't. Too lazy.

 

[Icaruss]

After checking then top top poll i can't help but think ,Wow we'er a bunch of blind bastards arent we?

 

[Jedamethis]

Fear my perfect eyesight!

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

Express some emotion towards my perfect eyesight!

Perfect eyesight-five? *high fives*

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

Maybe we'll just use our hands then, like the rest of the world. XD

*sigh* But that's so mainstream...
Wait, do high-five hipsters exist? If not, I'm becoming one. What's another socially acceptable body part to return a high-five with?

Also, I've been quoted 11 times on my first post in this thread already... Not sure if that's a good thing or not...

...Chests? I'unno.

Damn that's a lot of quote. Wish I got quoted. XD

I voted other as I wear both. I've terrible short sight so it's mandatory that I wear some sort of corrective lens. If I'm having a relaxing day or what have you I'll wear glasses.

If I'm doing any sports, contacts and if I'm going out I'll usually wear throw away contacts and keep my glasses in a case in a jacket pocket.

I wear glasses, sadly. I've had them about 5-6 years I think.

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.

5-6 years? I've had them since I'm about 4 years old. I suppose, it might be worse for you since you had the joy of not having to wear them once.

I also plan to get lazered once I've the money for it.

Hehe, I guess. I had to start wearing them right in the middle of my school life, and I refused to wear them at first 'cause I didn't want to get bullied about them. Dx

Having said that, wearing them as a little kid is probably pretty tough too. :/ It's probably just as bad for both of us.

 

[Quextamon]

I used to be a little far sighted when I was younger, but now I've got perfect vision.

 

[Lilitu]

Yea, I'm kinda afraid of that to. The glasses get so expensive after you pass a certain point, so I really don't want to buy new ones

Oh and mole sounds kinda cool

Oh, yes! Glasses can be so expansive!-.-

Cool. I'll fly in the sky, you will roam through the earth. If we can find a blind fish who frolics in the water, we can be the rulers of the world!

Are you sure it wasn't just your imagination?
Some of my childhood friends had glasses and no one got bullied in any way, nor did I.

 

[Treaos Serrare]

I am and Have Been since I was a wee little lad

 

[Brandon237]

Yes, I am, but only wear them when I am watching something with subtitles or reading things far away from me, reading and whatnot I don't use them, despite slight lack of focus.

 

[The Hero Killer]

Yes me and 90% of my family wear glasses. I've been wearing them since I was 10, I'm 21 now.

Then the only question that remains is... what will we call ourselves?
Rulers got to have cool titles! xD

 

[DarkhoIlow]

I wear glasses all the time,except when I'm sleeping of course.

 

[Ceress]

As of this second I'm wearing contacts, but I usually wear glasses. I'm also colour blind with red and green :|

Ah, thank you. I just wanted to be sure. As for my answer...

Maybe?

 

[Tonimata]

Constantly bespectacled, I can't live without my glasses, regardless of how little ass they might get
