I'm nearsighted. I wear both contacts and glasses just depends on my mood.

Since I was five years old. Contacts were just never comfortable. I can read without them but couldn't see an elephant in front of my car.

I have worn glasses for years. But since the print is getting smaller in books I have trouble reading them. Since I won't give up books I've discovered reading glasses. Found a display at WalMart with reading glasses for $10. It's really hard to choose a pair that will suit you, but after two tries I gor a pair of #2 and #3. Twenty dollars for reading glasses is not too bad and I can even read a paperback with the #3. I learned the hard way not to try walking with them...just about fell on my keister!

I have since I was 7. I had cataract surgery a few years ago, they put new lenses in my eyeballs and said I wouldnt need glasses after that. But I still do.

Yes, I wear glasses, an all-purpose bi-focal pair to go from page to computer screen and reading spectacles (half specs) as back up. I don't need glasses for driving or distance vision. Ironically as I type this I have both pairs broken beside me. True! They snapped within days of each other :shock: and I've been wearing cheap chemist shop magnifying spectacles which are driving me batty! Thankfully I see the optometrist tomorrow morning.....

I started wearing glasses more than contacts a few years ago.. It was just for comfort. But now I feel so unattractive!

I wear glasses when I remember where I put them.
I felt like my grandmother saying that.
She can never find anything either.
Family trait I think.

I do wear glasses, but I prefer to wear contacts. I just recently had my eyes examined and I'm pretty much almost blind, the doctor was amazed at how negative my eyes are!! Trust me, I'm not bragging, I truly wish I didn't need them.

I wear glasses as well but only sometimes. Usually for driving, or when i was in University for note taking and lectures. Sometimes i wear them when i didn't get enough sleep at night and my eyes hurt.
I don't wear contacts though. I don't like things going in my eyes.

I need glasses for reading and computer.

I wear reading glasses at home.

Although I don't need glasses for distance, I do have some graduated lenses, I wear them to work or any time I will be switching from reading to not reading - they are brilliant, can put them on and wear all day for everything.

Have never used contact lenses.

I don't mind wearing glasses, have worn them for about 6 years now.
