No, but I had laser eye surgery.

I guess that means I have to choose the last option ...  WTF

Where's the option for those who have them and feel neutral about them?

I have intra-corneal lens implants...

You could say...  Cool... That I have proto-cyborg eyes...

(It makes me sad that there is no cyborg-eyes/corrective eye surgery option in this poll)...

I'm near sighted, but over the past couple of years it has gotten so bad that I can't see anything without them.

However, I am incredibly sexy with glasses... or so I claim.

Wow...not only does Cactus have laser eyes he's also seven people! He never ceases to amaze.

Yeah I have glasses and should probably wear them more. My eyesight's fine apart from in certain light conditions or when they're strained. Yay for keratoconus! (<- But only its only slight mind you.)

My right eye can see fine (it used to be 20/20, though it's not quite that anymore), but my left eye is terribly near-sighted (I failed to read the big "E" on the first row of those letters used to test vision). Apparently this causes my brain to rely heavily on only my right eye, screwing over depth perception (perhaps that's why I've never been a fan of 3D movies...), so recently I got glasses. The difference between the two eyes is so great that the left lens (intentionally) doesn't even fully correct that eye. Even so, it gets really disorienting sometimes, especially when I have to focus on objects at different distances rapidly, such as when I'm taking notes in class (looking at the paper and the board). At least they don't look bad on me.
I had contacts before, but I hated wearing them, so I didn't (I could see fine anyway, since my right eye was fine).

So in the poll, I want to answer "No, I have great vision," "No, but I should," "Yes, and I hate them," and "Yes, and I love them."

A surprizingly large amount of the users on TIGSoure Forum are all Cactus. That explains a lot.

My vision is fine, if I do say so myself.
I don't wear glasses, but I would look extremely silly if I ever wear them in public.

With all this talk of glasses I decided to wear my glasses while driving home last night.  They actually weren't all that uncomfortable, at least for the first hour of wearing them.  Wearing them was like going from 1024x600 res to 1920x1080; or something like sliding the graphics setting up on one's PC game.  Everything looked a lot more sharp, crisp and clear (and readable).  Kinda like turning up model detail (oh look at every blade of grass), higher texture resolution (so text looks clear and not blurry at any distance) and draw distance turned up to keep things looking sharp and clear at any distance (also like having resolution turned up).  A definite improvement on my visual experience of, well, the world/life.

Where's the option for cybernetic vision implants?

In high school I started having this problem of blurry vision. I thought it was anxiety or a panic attack or something, because I'm uncomfortable in crowds and it only occurred when I left home, so I made the correlation.

It was only years later that I discovered it wasn't actually psychological; I just couldn't see for shit. Glasses fixed it. I didn't notice before because I rarely leave home except for school, and at home the distances aren't that great to emphasize the effect, as they are outdoors.

I've always wanted to wear glasses, from as long as I can remember. They just look cool... Like a first step towards transhumanism and cybernetics. An extension to your body. Plus, they're associated with intelligence.

I do wear glasses actually. There's this store here in Australia, Bailey Nelson, where I get all my glasses--prescription and sunglasses--from. They're cheap and trendy. I like them! Smiley
