Lunamor Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Are you in possession of terrible eyesight? Do you wear glasses? Do you need somewhere to rant about/take pride in (whichever works!) said eyewear? Then this is the thread for you! I hereby found the Glasses Group! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Invocation Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) I have yeehawed my way into this group with bleach-stained retinas. For context, the reason I first got glasses was because I got sprayed in the face with bleach. Edited July 20, 2019 by Invocation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyndlerunner Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 I have a super low prescription glasses, for very minor nearsightedness. I can essentially live without them, but they do improve my quality of life. I also happen to think I look good in them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silva Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 As a person who has tried contacts, I can assure you that glasses have many advantages. First off, you're not as exposed. Things thrown at your eyes are deflected before they hit you. Secondly, do you know how many things could grow on a contact lens and harm your eye? There are lots of things that can go wrong. Eyes were not designed to be poked. There is a reason you blink when anything comes too close. Thirdly, less hassle. Glasses you can just put on your face. Contacts take washing hands, dealing with solution...and then you can't even fall asleep because your eyes need to breathe! Fourthly, your eyes need to have access to oxygen. Contacts prevent that. And sure, they make them so it won't be as harmful, but you still can't sleep in them. If that's not a sign of something bad being narrowly avoided, I don't know what is. Fifthly, astigmatism. Contacts don't help with that, unless they're toric and even then can't solve the issue perfectly because of how they work. They don't offer perfect vision for all. Sixthly, and finally, I don't know about anyone else, but I love my blurry vision. That might seem strange, but it's true. I like seeing the world a way that probably no one else does.Wearing contacts...that's like saying I didn't want anyone to know about that--hiding the fact that I don't see the world in the same boring way people with "better" vision do. My fuzziness is different from your fuzziness and you'll never get to experience it exactly the same way. 17 hours ago, Truthless of Shinovar said: *exerts superior-ness by looking everybody in the eye and flaunting my contacts* *looks Truthless in the eye right back, flaunting her glasses* 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably true, but it’s never happened to me or anyone I know yet 3. The hassle part is unfortunately very true... it only takes about a minute though 4. Also true 5. I actually have astigmatism, but my contacts work fine. They definitely offer the best vision, for me at least, and I’ve never noticed a problem with blurriness. 6. Huh, I’d never really thought of my vision like that! That’s really neat, thanks for giving me that view! Personally, I just wear contacts because I literally can’t read anything over about 5 feet or so in front of my face, and I just like not having anything on my face. Eye think that I see what you mean now. Your viewpoint has let me become your pupil, and I can’t think of any more eye puns. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidpen Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 I wear contacts sometimes and glasses sometimes. Depends on if I feel like getting them in and if I'm going to a 3D movie or swimming or something. Also can people share their prescriptions if they know them? I'm always curious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eluvianii Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Glasses also provide a super power. It doesn't work with every pair but I can hold mine at a distance from my face and use them as a telescope. It's really useful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
