I can't see stuff far-away, so I have some glasses. I only wear them at school to read the board and stuff, though. I think I look really bad with glasses on, and they just aren't too comfortable.

(I totally should've answered with the CACTUS option.)

My vision is fuck-awful.

What he said.
Also, I'm inclined to think that you got this idea from me, because I just got them today.
... Also, stop making these pointless polls. D:<

I look terrible no matter whether I wear glasses or not, and this post reminded me so badly that I voted completely incorrectly on the poll, just out of spite. Phubans, your poll is officially fucked!

Also please stop having a "cactus" option.

I have a pair from highschool that are oval-shaped with thin gold rims. I was going for Gendo Ikari's look (lol) but I think they just make me look like some kind of intellectual douche (maybe I'll post a pic later).

Anyways, I'd like to get something more appropriate for myself, or contacts, but I really don't like living life unnaturally in some respects, and glasses feel so wrong I mean, I'm about 2 feet away from my screen and it's slightly blurry, but any further and I probably wouldn't be able to read this text without squinting.

I think the worst is that it really negatively impacts my social skills when I'm out in public. I can't see people clearly from more than 8 feet away, so I can't gauge their expressions so I don't know how to respond to them. As such, I usually avoid looking at other people in public altogether


PS: I was ASKED to make this poll! :C

[Riley Adams]

I do, but I'm indifferent to them... this poll does not represent my perspective and is therefore INVALID .

[Türbo Bröther]

Pfft, Cactus and his lasers. When I close my eyes switchblades come out so I can headbutt fools and hella stab them. Other than that my vision's fine.

[Rob Lach]

Yup. Even if I had perfect vision I wear them.

[saibot216]

I had reading glasses in 6th grade, but honestly, I don't think I need them. I'm near sighted and I see fine.

[adam_smasher]

I voted for the Cactus option simply because my eyes are also lasers.

My vision is pretty much perfect but I wear glasses anyway. Not because I'm a hipster, but because I want people to see me for the geek that I am. And also I have a really huge, ungainly nose, and the glasses help balance out the proportions.

I meant to pick "Yes, I love them" and I ended picking "Yes, I hate them". Maybe it's time to change my glasses. It doesn't help that it's 3 AM here.

[baconman]

Not me. I have 20-19 vision, so i can even read fine print.

I wish glasses helped me there. As a prosopagnosiac I think I'm okay with expressions but I don't know who anybody is until they start talking or I've known them for a while.

[Brother Android]

I don't wear glasses. My vision isn't great, but it's not bad enough to cause me any troubles so, I dunno, doesn't seem like there's an option for me.

I'm near sighted and have glasses that I do not wear.  Last eye checkup I had, likely more than a year ago now, I didn't need glasses to drive.  Mostly if I don't sit up towards the front of a class I will have difficulty reading the board/projector.  Also when driving I have trouble reading street signs, freeway exit signs and license plates when I am not close to them (no worries, I can see stop lights, stop signs, speed limit signs ok, but I have missed some streets because I couldn't read the street sign early enough). I also may have some trouble clearly identifying a person's face more than a guesstimated 50 feet away.  So when at theaters, class rooms, anything where I get to choose my viewing distance I choose to sit close to medium-close to medium range.

I mostly don't wear glasses because glasses are uncomfortable to wear.  They leave soar red spots on my nose.  Also the glasses I have are/were a little strong in prescription, which leads to some discomfort when wearing them.

Anyways, I  have glasses, but don't wear them because most of the time because they are unneeded and bothersome.   So I voted "No, but I should."  Because I don't (usually) wear them, and once in a while I could benefit from wearing them.

That doesn't sound fun.  Have you recently dawned a pair of glasses and tried going on a walk with them?

Occasionally (read rarely) I'll dawn my glasses if I find myself with them (rarely) and in a situation where I could really benefit from using them (not common, traveling across complex freeway systems).

There you have it folks, currently 65% of TIGSource wears glasses, 5% outright wishes that they did, and 30% wishes they did but just don't know it yet.

[Razz]

Yeah, and I wish I never stop wearing them because that would probably drive me insane. I'd reach up to my face so I coul- DAMN they aren't there (Repeat over and over for the rest of my life )

[Xion]

no, my vision is rad
