yes and no i am recently back on contacts and glasses now after a few i had some bad spells of pink eye kept returning (bad enough to go to the eye doctor) and she said i need glasses again (so much for a year of eye therapy that fixed the problem). So now I’m on contacts once again after about 5 years but, i do have glasses when i cant seem to get my contacts in. ---

I wore them for 9 years as a kid, from about 6 to 15. Then, I stopped, and haven’t worn anything since then. I had an eye exam recently, and I don’t need eyeglasses at all. Long story on that one, but it’s a miracle! :🙂 ---

I’ve worn glasses since I was 8, finally switched to contacts about 10 years ago. I’m good about it, take them out every night etc. I wish I had the guts to have LASEK, but I’m scared of permanent damage even in one eye. I’ll deal with morning/night ritual of poking myself in the eye, thanks. ---

They have to cut a slit in your outer eye’s skin and then use laser on your Pupil. I’m not scared of the laser, I’m scared of the slit and the possibility of a accidental mess-up. ---

I’ve been wearing glasses since 8th grade, I miss contact lenses but glasses are way cheaper since I have astigmatism, and the eye exam is a lot cheaper (wish I were still young enough to have my parents foot the bill :P) I don’t mind them though, just get a pair of prescription sunglasses ( if you’re like me, you also need an additional pair of regular glasses small enough to fit under goggles, science major and paintballer means a lifetime in goggles) and you’re set ---
