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.

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


I might have to do exactly that next year.

Well, I certainly hope my eyes don't get worse. My first pair only cost like $300, Glasses are EXPENSIVE!

I don't need glasses

Although I might later in life because I have 20-50 vision

Right now I have 15-20 vision. It is useful as my grandpa uses me as a human magnifying glass. =P

I have 20-15 vison.

That's better then perfect. Have you gotten laser eye surgery like Tiger Woods?

20/20 doesn't necessarily denote perfect vision, it just means the clarity of vision at a distance. There are a number of other factors involved such as peripheral vision, eye condition, focusing ability and color vision. People can also have 20/20 but still not be able to see up close.

I've got glasses, though I'd need a better prescription as I can't see anything clearly with them on. My vision's gotten pitiful.

If you have 20/20 vision, your eyesight is essentially normal. For example, if the smallest letters you can read are at 20/40 then you roughly have to approach them at 20 feet to see them whereas a person with normal vision can spot them at 40 feet away. Something like that.

Of course, there's a reason why this isn't the only eyesight test performed upon you. If you go by the chart, these glasses that I wear give me vision better than 20/20

People can also have 20/20 but still not be able to see up close.


Yeah. The chart doesn't diagnose your exact illness, just the result of it.

I'm going to get some prescription sun glasses soon. I just don't like some days how bright the sun is. It's blinding!

I got my glasses in and I got to say I'm noticing a big difference in what I'm seeing.

I have them cause my vision is apparently not good enough to drive without them, which is a load of crap considering I can read a speed sign from a pretty good distance away.

I scored 20/15 on that vision test thingy at the doctor a few months ago.

I'd assume that I have excellent vision, considering that I can see anything out to well over 1000 yards, within reason of course.

I wore glasses when I was in third grade, but they were minor and my eyesight got better.

Only downside is that my eyes are like a broken camera lens, and constantly refocus. When in focus it's 20/15, when not in focus the world is a blur and I can't see anything more than a couple inches from my face.
