Yes I wear glass's. People ask me don't mind fall offf when I OL or do Gymnastics :p

I have them tight on my head.

I don't mind contacts but they are more pricey and I haven't had a eye contact test in ages.

I'll get surgery done some day when they settle in a couple of years.

I mostly wear my contacts these days, but I did just buy a new pair of glasses since my other ones were over 5 years old and really showing their age. Every once in awhile, I like giving my eyes a break from contacts.

New frames are Flexion titanium frames. Way too expensive, but they are awesome -- hardly know I have them on.

No. My sister, father and brother do though. I had glasses once because I had an astigmatism, but the prescription was so weak that I never bothered to wear them. I have been noticing my eyes hurting lately, but it could be because I stare at a CRT all day long.

Edit: And the CRT is too close to my face, so I think it strains my eyes. (desk isn't big enough and we haven't had any spare LCDs lately)

No. But lately (in the last couple years) I have needed to wear reading glasses to see very small things like the printing on a chip or circuit board.

I'm 37 and losing the ability to focus up close is perfectly normal... but it still sucks.

Perfect Vision > Contacts > Glasses (Not adding Lasik because it freaks me out way too much)

I wear contacts and they are so much better than glasses, but of course I would prefer to not have to wear any type of corrective lens.

Contacts, and glasses in the evening (can't wear them all day or my eyes get really bothered)

Edited for spelling nazis.

20-10 right eye, 20-15 left... I do notice the strain my monitors have put on my eyes though, and am all but certain I'll end up as everyone else in my family always has - needing glasses to see anything within 5 feet of me :(
