Who's got them and why?
I had an eye exam today and will be having to get glasses for the first time for astigmatism in my right eye. I should get my glasses sometime after the holiday.

I do. I wear contacts during day but during night and morning (or whenever I'm not doing anything one day) I wear 'em.

I wear 'em cause I'm near sighted.

I'm near-sighted, so yeah, I have glasses.

-5.25 and -5.75 iirc. Pretty near sighted. Feel very lost without my glasses, as everything that isn't at point blank range of my face is bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur and it feels a bit dizzying.

Can't remember when I got 'em, but do know I've needed increasing strengths. Also used to be able to draw on paper without wearing glasses. I still do it sometimes, but it's sad that doing so nearly brings my nose to the paper...

My Dad and stepmom both wore glasses until they got surgery. My eyesight is fairly good although I used to get headache-y sinus-y pain in the front of my head/top part of my nose so there was some concern for my eyesight. I had it tested and it turns out I'm alright.

Stress related migranes ftl.

I have glasses.
First time, when I realised, that I couldn't see well was, when me and my family were in a restaurant.
Dad asked, that what does that menu say, and I said, that I couldn't see what it says.

I use my glasses all the time (expect when I'm sleeping).
I have minus 2 and something on my both eyes, I quess.

The doctor said, that I have some weird thing in my eyes, that makes me see long-distance text as very (or not that) blurry (normal, small).
I'll have to use my glasses all the time, and sometimes I feel, that I can't even see close things so well.

+ I can't use contact-lences (I wouldn't even like to use 'em).

I've never had glasses in my whole life but I really think I should. after that accident when I was six or something (I got hit by a stone) my left eye has problems seeing stuff that's close up.

Oops, I mean right eye.

I have glasses but I don't use them much since I have contacts now. I think I had to get glasses because when I was 4 I like to stare at light bulbs a lot.

I wore glasses for about 2 years, because I'm near sighted, but now I wear contacts, which are much better.

I prefer to wear my glasses then contacts. I don't like the whole idea of touching my eye putting in contacts and taking them out.

I wear glasses. For 2 months or so I tried contacts, but they hurt a ton, and it took me like 15 minutes to put each one in. Not fun. So now I just wear my glasses which my dog chewed on.

I still have a pathological fear of putting something in my eye. It might reflect on my perceived inadequacies.

Same here, probably reflect why I hate needles or sharp objects near my face. It's probably caused by a traumatic event in your life in which sharp objects and your face made contact or something horrifying happened.

*Sign* Now I gotta pump more money into new glasses because my vision got worse.

I've been wearing my glasses for about 4 hours now. I have a headache. No wonder I never wear them :/
