The first three years my sight became worse and worse, nowadays I would not recognise my mom from the other side of the rode hahahaha T.T I started to wear contacs but my eyes used to get really tired so I stopped. I don't mind wearing glasses, though it is a bit uncomfortable when I go to the beach or the swimming pool because I can't see!
I actually wear my eyeglasses in the water, not that I recommend this. (If they come off in the ocean, you might not find them. :doh:) I always have mine adjusted for a tight fit, though. They also make a product that will connect them tight behind your head--it's a stretchy fabric that goes over each earpiece from behind you and connects at the back of your head. I think I was allowed to do this in my granny's pool as long as I agreed to take them off before going off the board. (A good idea--don't jump off the board with your glasses on!)

I'm scared that it's fall into the water...plus I wear goggles. In the water everything is magnified, so when I swim, I find that I don't even have to use prescription goggles.

I wear glasses. I have since I was 6 years old. But I don't need them to read. Just for far distances. :D

I've always prided myself on my perfect vision.... but recently I've started to worry. I think my age is catching up to me or soomething. I've started squinting when looking up at the signs to see whhat time they train is coming and such. 8)

Only my X-ray ones recently. But for some reason I keep bumping into walls all the time. They must be defective.

Yes I do. I'm going to try contacts once I graduate, and get a job.
