How well can you see?
 
Do you need glasses or contacts to see properly? Or do you have perfect vision or can just see well enough to not wear glasses?

mizzy25 12-01-2013 02:35 PM

I wear glasses, tried contact lenses once but one split in my eye, luckily I was in the opticians but it put me right off.

Ramsay 12-01-2013 02:36 PM

Glasses, the thought of wearing contacts makes me feel weird

Jake. 12-01-2013 02:37 PM

I wouldn't say I've got amazing eye-sight but I don't need anything, although I'd love to wear glasses!

AnnieK 12-01-2013 02:38 PM

Wear glasses mainly but contacts when I go out. Dont feel dressed up with glasses on but too lazy to be bothered with contacts all the time.

Niamh. 12-01-2013 02:39 PM

My eye sight isn't 20/20 but I don't need glasses or contacts

Believe me you wouldn't...You can't even look down without them falling off your face or anything LOL. The headaches get really bad as well sometimes. :/

Luckily I just wear contacts now.

Marcus. 12-01-2013 02:43 PM

I'm blind without glasses

Ryan. 12-01-2013 02:45 PM

I have mental condition where one of my eyes didn't properly and fully connect to my brain or sumat idea - So anyway if i close my good eye I like can't read at all, just make out blurry shapes. With both eyes, vision is pretty perfect with just slightly blurred peripheral vision on one side. 3D doesn't work great for me.

MTVN 12-01-2013 02:48 PM

Wear contacts, my eyesight isn't terrible but things are just a lot more clear and focused so I prefer wearing them when I go out, if I'm not really doing anything and just lounging about I won't bother or just put my glasses on if I need them

thesheriff443 12-01-2013 02:52 PM

i have eye's like a hawk.

Black Dagger 12-01-2013 02:52 PM

I can't see very well at all without my glasses, I'm not exactly blind, but I do struggle.

Yeah, this. I don't really need contacts at home doing nowt but I need for college in particular (a bit short sighted so I can't see the board without...).

Jordan. 12-01-2013 02:56 PM

I don't have glasses but I think I need them. I can see perfect out my right but my left eye is blurred :suspect:

MTVN 12-01-2013 02:57 PM

Sounds like you need a monocle

I have to wear glasses all the time. I've got an astigmatism (in my left eye I think, but I'm not entirely sure), so without them everything is very blurry and I can't see for shit pretty much.

I did look into getting contacts a few weeks ago but it would've cost £200+ for a set of them. I couldn't get daily or monthly ones so I would have to have gotten the permanent ones which is why they were so expensive. I don't think my NHS thingy covered them either even though it covered my glasses idk it was weird.

My cousin was really similar, she could basically see nothing. She got laser eye surgery done, and she now has 20/20 vision

Apple202 12-01-2013 04:51 PM

The only thing not wrong with my eyes and sight is that I'm not long or short sighted, and everythings clear and im not blind etc

I have TWO lazy eyes and I'm red green colour blind tho :(

MeMyselfAndI 12-01-2013 04:58 PM

omg you have two lazy eyes

they only become lazy at night or when im tired tho

LemonJam 12-01-2013 07:14 PM

apparently my eyes are rather ovular, but I have perfect eyesight.

Ninastar 12-01-2013 08:46 PM

I have an astigmatism in my left eye too and I found out because I'm long sighted, the chances of me getting laser eye surgery are very slim.

I'm heartbroken. It's the one thing I've said over the past few years that I want the most in life. I'm fed up of waking up every morning and not being able to see properly

Redway 12-01-2013 08:58 PM

..I've got an astigmatism as well Niall.. in both eyes..all the best people have them, I think they're a sign of genius or something.....

..I go for the contact lens option..yeah, they are a bit expensive though..I have bi-monthly ones...

MTVN 12-01-2013 11:03 PM

Yeah I've an astigmatism in my left one apparently so they recommended I get monthly lenses and the left one has to be made a bit differently or something, used to think they were a nightmare at first cos it'd take ages for me to get them in but once I got used to it it was so much better having them

Ammi 12-01-2013 11:06 PM

..one of the children at school once asked me about contact lenses and I was trying to explain to him about astigmatism....the next day his mum told me that he told her I had autism in my eyes.....

joeysteele 12-01-2013 11:12 PM

My sight is near perfect at present so don't need any glasses or contact lenses.

Y'see I would get that done, but I don't think it's covered by the NHS.

Definitely. :tongue:

I would do, but I'd rather use all the money that goes on them to get a set of deisgner frames or something. I really want some Ray Ban glasses frames myself. :lovedup:

Got a pair of Bench glasses quite a while ago...they're pretty much as good as Ray Ban, only they cost £79. :(

Laser surgery seems a good option, but I was told by someone that it needs doing every few years. Is that true?

Princess 13-01-2013 03:51 PM

Have to wear glasses all the time, have done since I was 8(1'm 22 now)
