How many of you wear contacts/glasses?

Cyndaine · Post by **Cyndaine** » Wed Apr 11, 2007 3:44 am

i dont, but im wondering how many of us do. i'd expect many hardcore gamers to cus ur staring at a computer screen with tiny pixels for like 20 hrs a day, so it kinda hard not to get bad eyes...post if you do and how bad they are, and if its not cus of gaming then pls post why =)

EDIT: move this if you want mods, i guess it kinda in wrong sectoin. but it is relevant to the gaming community...

Only when I'm sitting in a classroom (blackboard) or driving. Otherwise if I'm just walking around or whatever, I don't need them.

I think I'm -1.75 or something along that.

cools. oh and add how many hrs u play a day cus thats relevant too. if you play like 1 hr than obviously you wont have bad eyes unless its inherited

I started wearing glasses in 3rd grade. Everything went downhill from there. Started wearing contacts in my junior year of high school. Without my contacts I'm blind as a bat.

i would need reading glasses eventually. i have to almost
completely close my eyes sometimes to see small texts

ok that sounds weird but what i do is make the shape of
my eyes different by pushing my eye lids together.

i had lenses when i was 16 or 17 or something but i never
wore them i was too lazy. tried both soft and hard lenses
but was not my thing

for driving, walking around, going out, etc. i dont need them
and gaming doesnt effect my eyes in any way since i train
my eyes for looking at screens at work already

Don't need contacts/glasses and im suprised i havn't screwed up my eye signt yet for all the gaming i play. Yet agan im also suprised i havn't screwed up my hearing yet as well from the shows i go to and how loud i blast my headphones.

Started wearing glasses to see the blackboard in school from the back of the room... When I was around 12? I think. I used to read ALL the time. Big eye strain. By high school I had my glasses on all the time instead of just some of the time. I don't mind them and I don't want contacts. I've been told by more than one person I look better without them but I say I'm really really ridiculously good-looking either way.

i wear glasses. it wasn't inherited. it wasn't caused by gaming either, because i didn't game at that time.

caused by that ..... school whiteboard.

The thing with my astigmatism is when I leave my glasses off for extended periods of time, it sortof corrects itself. So my vision would probably be better if I didn't always have glasses on. But since it's so bad at first without them, I just leave em on.

The poll needs an option to represent the those who are pulling a Clark Kent and do not need glasses but wear them anyway.

I'm near sighted, my vision sucks, and I HATE glasses, therefor I choose to wear contacts.
