POLL: Stereotyping nerdy types, do you wear/need glasses?

[acidvoodoo]

no glasses here


hehe it's funny at my school the "geekiest" class is further mathematics which is only 6 of us, none of us however have glasses

Glasses. I'm nearly blind without them. I'm a perfect candidate for corrective surgery (my eye doctor told me that), but with the financial choices my husband makes, I'll be lucky if I ever get them fixed.

bump for an old thread, for those who haven't voted yet

 

[EngenZerO]

no glasses/contacts...

how else do you think I pull of the eagle eye/headshot in UT2k4

 

[Dufman]

i dont need glasses, but i wear fake ones sometime.

 

[gistech1978]

nope
i have eyes like a hawk

 

[virtuamike]

I wear contacts otherwise I'd be walking into stuff. I don't do that switching thing with glasses, makes me dizzy.

Deaf in one eye, blind in one ear, doctor says I'm all fvcked up.

Contacts here, glasses won't do anything for me.

Eventually after cornea transplants I may be able to get by with glasses, but most likely I'll be wearing contacts for the rest of my life.

I wear contacts and have since I was 14 (34 now), never had glasses.
People are totally suprised to find out that I am a geek "you read? and your ...smart? you do what with computers? ............so how about them Bears?"

Blind as a bat, should have my Lasik done in about 2 or 3 weeks though.

Without my contacts or glasses I can't see much more than a foot in front of me.

 

[skace]

Wow, I didn't expect so many yes's. I've got decent vision and have no need for glasses.

 

[mandala]

Started wearing glasses at 7, contacts at 10. Had Lasik done last year (at 25).

 

[prvteye2003]

nope. Don't wear glasses or contacts. I wouldn't mind though if I had to. I like the way glasses look on some people. My son wears glasses. Of course, he wants contacts. Maybe next year when he turns 12 I will get him some.

Wow, that's like me, too. My uncle says I should get a monocle for my eye instead of the glasses... :beer:

Extremely bad eyesight. Not to mention that I look like a kid . . . a cute kid, but a kid nontheless.

Well, this explains why you picked such an ugly ass campus.

 

[Brutuskend]

I wear glasses, but I made it into my late 40's before I needed them. And I only need them for reading and up close work.

 

[CraigRT]

contact lenses.
i had glasses, grew out of the style, i like the way i look better without glasses.

 

[Actaeon]

Nope. Never had to use them. Though, my vision isn't great, and I could use a pair, but I really don't NEED them.
