How is your Vision?

[Event]

I wear contact lenses.

 

[daan]

Me too, although I do wear glasses occasionally.

 

[emad]

glasses but I may consider getting contacts this year. However, it may not be convenient for me since I the doc said I might need special order lenses for my eyes.

That reminds me, I want to get a pair of Tagheueur (sp?) sunglasses this year. If I get contacts, I'll be able to save about $400 on them because of the cost of lenses

How bad are everyone's prescriptions? I'm at 4.75 in each eye and my peripheral vision is really REALLY fuzzy. That's one of the main reasons I want contacts

 

[Event]

I think I'm at 3.75 or 2.75. my left eye is at 3.5 or 2.5, i believe...

I'm at 4.00 on the right and 2.75 on the left.

There should be a multiple choice option, I use contacts when I'm going somewhere but at home I wear glasses.

I like emad, order special lenses, one of my eyes is worse than the other. I hate it when you dig your nail into the contact, I've actually ripped a contact like that!

Same.

I only really wear my contacts when I go to school. I don't even bother with my glasses unless I'm reading something. My vision isn't too bad. I have a fairly minor astigmatism.

My vision is fine.......don't need glasses......although after GT4 I probably will!

 

[KosmikFool]

My eyes are horrendeously(sp) bad in terms of vision. I did have glasses up until last Christmas. I had been wanting to get contacts for a while, so I scheduled an appointment, and told him that I wanted some. No regrets, I love them.

 

[halfracedrift]

20/20 perfect vision~

 

[sUn]

I love my contacts, I hate the nerdy look of me with glasses!

I've had a few problems recently with my contacts, starting with an eye infection under my eyelid, no contacts for 6 weeks. Then, it's been better. I need to get the new 35% more air ones.

I've had glasses since Grade 1.

I have [above average] 20-10 vision with glasses, and [normal] 20-20 vision without glasses. I only need glasses when I'm taking road trips, or driving in unfamiliar places. They help me to see signs from really far away off. A buddy of mine has 60-10 vision, and it is absolutely insane the **** he can read that I can't even begin to see.

 

[halfracedrift]

But then having 60-10 vision is kind of pointless.. =\. If something is right in your face then you can't read it.. o.O

 

[skunk]

-6.5 in my right and -7 in my left. I wear contact lenses

 

[BigJamesGTI]

20/20 perfect vision~

Same as. Ive always had excellent vision, a cousin had to have surgey for a retinal problem but its not in the family

 

[Robin]

Just a question......don't any of you ever feel upset that you maybe hurting your eyes.....like when you work on the computer for ages and your eyes feel tired.....it kinda scares me that I probably see slightly worse than when i ws probably 7 or somthing

 

[Solid Lifters]

I used to have excellent vision; 20-12 in my right eye, and 20-14 in my left. Then, suddenly my eyes started to go south. Old age, I guess. Now, my eyes are so bad, I had to start wearing glasses. First, just a little bit, at the start, but not anymore. Now, it's all the time, and I hate it.

The problem is, I don't know much about eyes, and getting glasses. I just went to a eye doc, and he gave me glasses that still made my vision blurry, but it was an improvement. How great are eye glasses, anyway? Is it 2-10, or what? How do I get a better pair of galsses?

monitors only cause eye strain and that's because of their refresh rates. That's why it's important to take breaks in between. At 75Hz on my CRT, I can usually sit in front of the screen for two hours at a time before I need to get up. My laptop's LCD has a terrible refresh so I need to get up almost every hour because it's so bad

 

[Robin]

I know......it really does upset me when I think about my eyes.......I need to work on my computer but I wish they made screens that were completely eye strain proof......maybe in 2020! They should make the screen turn off and stay off for a break every half hour!.......force ya to save your eyes!

How did you get 20-10 glasses? A friend said to tell the optometrist you're a pilot, so he/she would make a better pair of glasses for you. Is that true? I ask this because you're a pilot, or training to be one, and have 20-10 glasses, which I desperately want.

I have -4.00 in each eye. I use glasses around the house and contacts when I leave and do other activities. The funny thing is my little brother has the worst vision in our family.

 

[MazKid]

I wear glasses, transitions! They're great, like prescription glasses and sun glasses in 1. I at first wanted contacts but my eyes itch a lot so I don't think they'd be good for me

My eyes were 30/40 or something, since I got glasses they've probably gone worst from that. Eventually I'll get Lasik done, but it can be expensive.
I not only have poor distance vision, I have the stigmatism thing, it's like I can see everything but it gets blurry. If I sqwint a cirtain way it gets clearer. My glasses fix it all.

 

[tabs]

I wear contacts mostly, glasses when I'm at home or running late and don't have enough time to put my contacts on.

 

[Lamboracer]

20 15??

 

[hanker]

perfect sight, dont need glasses and never will

 

[Famine]

I use glasses when I drive, because the law says I must. But other than that, never!

Of course, if I forget my glasses, I find a couple of shots of Jack Daniels is a sound substitute*

*Gag. Don't drink and drive, kids. Although it's fine for adults.**
**Another gag. Really it's fine for kids too.***
***Oh, forget it.

Despite years of heavy computer use, my vision is excellent. My friends are amazed at the stuff I can read from far away. I wish I knew what my actual vision rating was (20/20 for example).

 

[Sage]

I've written up before my really odd eyesight ratings.

My left eye is approximately 20/30, slightly farsighted (practically unnoticeable). My right eye is 20/50, extremely nearsighted (I can't read anything more than two feet away with my right eye by itself). But my overall vision (using both eyes) is a perfect 20/20. I have no clue how that works out, but it does.

Anyway, since my overall vision is fine, I don't "wear" anything... if my left eye ever degrades though, I'd probably get contacts.

 

[DoZeRxXx]

your lucky sage. i don't remember mine, the doctor said mine are bad enough that if i wanted them i could get them, but i dont need them. he just said if they ever bother me or i feel that i need them, then get em. so really i should go get contacts.

how do they figure that computer screens ruin your vision? its just like looking into a light, so that is saying that we should not have the lights on in our house... better hope your not afraid of the dark

 

[Matrixhasu77]

I'm happy to say that I wear contacts. I finally switched over to contacts my sophmore year of high school because I was so sick of wearing glasses. I have no idea on my vision but I'm sure that I'd be blind otherwise if not for my contacts/glasses.
