Guest Saiyaman Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 [size=1][b]The idea of raming round plastic objects into my eyeball with the chance of cutting my cornea isn't a good idea to me. I stick with Glasses.[/b][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvet paws Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 I don't have to wear glasses or anything..which is a shame because my mum promised that if I did I cuould have contact lenses and I was going to have a normal pair...a violet pair...and a cats eye pair......the wonderful thing about me being under 16 is if I got them now then they eould be free or at least relatively cheap...but when I hit the old 16 in 3 months then I'm dun for coz I have to start paying for medication n stuff :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're light, and they bend, so they CAN'T cut you unless you shove it right into your eye, in which case you'd probably go blind by doing that anyway..... Oh yeah, and they come with solution, so it makes it harder to cut your eye..... :D I wear them all the time, and haven't had a problem..... Sorry if that sounds like bragging. :) OOOoo, I sound like a salesperson. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Break Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 [SIZE=1]Yep... I wear 'em, have been for like 2 years. Saiyaman... just listen to the people who [i]know[/i] what it's like, ok? :laugh: they [b]cannot[/b] cut your cornea! Ah... finally, something I can talk about... I think I am getting worse with sight, even though I am bad already :([/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navi Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 My eyes are hell of sensitive so I can't wear contacts. I twitch even when water gets in my eyes. I like my 'buddy holly' glasses anywho. And yes, they are perscription. My friend wears purple and blue contacts, and sometimes one of each. It's freaky because shes Chinese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted January 26, 2002 Author Share Posted January 26, 2002 Yeah, I used to wear red ones, and they used to scare some people when I walked down the path in town..... Hehehe..... I stopped wearing them ones though..... :rolleyes: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaflet Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Contacts are evil.... blasted things.... I have hard lense....which make it only WORSE! pop out of my eye and stuff... and they suck on windy days....:mad: I prefer glasses.... but contacts... in some weird way are better for me... so... *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyGirl Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 [color=deeppink]Heck yes I wear contacts...I don't like to NOT wear them! Glasses seem like a hassle to me now...probably because I've been wearing contacts for 6 years, and they're so nice and easy. And I'm very very blind...maybe even legally blind? Haha, nah...I know I'm not legally blind, but... ...anyone want to compete with a -5.75 perscription?

Dunno how either..... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navi Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 me = 52/17 My eyesight is actually worse than that, my doctor gave me it lower so my eyes would get 'use' to it or something. I am getting worse because Im always reading or on the computer. Snail: Sometimes one of my eyes gets cloudy, but I blink and it goes away. Does that happen to you?

Shy Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 [SIZE=1]My vision is like 20/200. My left eye is basically useless, and there isn't a surgery to fix it. I occasionally wear glasses though, they help a litle bit... but not very much.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted January 26, 2002 Author Share Posted January 26, 2002 Navi: My eyes get cloudy most mornings, because I've been lying down (sleeping), and that makes the broken blood vessel at the back of my left eye float up or something, and cloud up my eyes. So, usually I try to blink it away, but that doesn't work. :flaming: BabyGirl: Footballs? Eyes? ..... That does seem bad. Is there anyway to fix it? Anywayz, I might be getting my eyes"lazered" when I'm 16. That means they do something like surgery on your eyes, and once they're finished, your eyes are fixed forever. :D They can't go bad anything after that. :) But it's really expensize, like $2000 per eye. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cibo Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Navi [/i] [B]My eyes are hell of sensitive so I can't wear contacts. I twitch even when water gets in my eyes. [/B][/QUOTE] My eye's are exactly like that. And I hate it too. I want to see underwater, but my eye's won't let me. :( I tried wearing contacts a couple years ago, the thin plastic kind and I couldn't put it in myself because I'm scared of touching my eye. But the doctor did it for me and it felt ok. I think soon I'll get the laser eye surgery when it gets a bit cheaper. And I had some nice psycho looking contacts waiting to wear also. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Break Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 [SIZE=1]Cool! Some one other than me has worse eyes :p in my left eye it's -3.00 and in the right is -2.50... ah... so I am not that blind then.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can laser surgery fix it? I hear it can do wonders these days:) The only thing i've ever needed for my eyes was Visine Revive, but I've been blessed with good eye sight, although they do tend to cloud up a little when I get migranes...which is not often, thank God.
