so....i got glasses..

so....i got glasses..

yeah, just got back from teh optomatrist to get my eyes check. found out that im near sighted, so glasses! yay ...lol.

i pick out the cool kind wit chrome and all, looks very nice. but i wont be gettin it fo like 2 weeks or so, they have to sent them to a place to get them made.
and i got like 15% tint on it too, kinda sweet lookin...

ran my dad ...$215.80.

expensive...

and i wont be wearin my glasses everyday tho. only when im readin somethin far away. other than that, i see just fine

Congratulations and condolences.

I want contacts..glasses are a PITA sometimes, but I have to wear mine all the time.

haha thanks man.

i dont think it'll be that bad. i dunno yet, have to wait til i get them and see.

yea, i had to get glasses over contacts because 1. my mom was paying for them and 2. she thinks that over time contacts will rip my eye open or something...newayz, while i was reading over ur post (the part about the 15% tint), i was thinkin Pimp my ride.......u Pimped Your Glasses, hehe...my dad has transitions that adjust tint to the amount of light passing through the lens and it makes him look mean....

ah its not that bad. I can't see a damn thing without my glasses. Tried contacts but they were a PITA and bothered my eyes, so I deal with it. I figure in a few years I'll get em fixed. My left eye is so bad the "E" is blurry :sad:

I have glasses too, except mine we're $320 CAD ($269 USD), thank god for health insurance My glasses cost me $0

i dont want contacts, i like the look glasses give me, i put them on for a nice change up; for a real clean night out or such. glasses, the right kind, are expensive though.

eh u should've gone for contacts man, I've been wearing my glasses for almost 4 yrs now and omg they're a pain dood, I'm about to switch to contacts

I get my contacts for like 120 a year. I think Sams Club has them for like 80...and not a crappy wally world brand either.

eh I'll just run them through insurance hehehe

If you don't have to wear them all the time that's not too bad. Still sucks though...

I've had glasses since I was in first grade and they were a royal PITA for me because of all the sports that I played and I LOVE my contacts. Hopefully I'll be able to get Lasik in a year or so when I get good medical insurance again...

I like titanium frames with transition lenses.

I prefer glasses over contacts, I just can't stick something in my eye, i've tried and I just cant, plus, I find glasses (the ones I have) compliment my face quite well and hides my deformed nose a bit (from when I was young, its a bit bumpy towards the top, glasses cover it )

yep same here. though i have astigmatism on my left eye. and yep theycost a bit more but well worth it over glasses.IMO

see i dont wanna pay that much fo a year. just pay fo the glasses and done wit it.

i dont like contacts anyways...

yeah they're pretty pimp. i didnt even have to look at others, my dad was wit me and he picked it out lol. the 1st one he pick and ended up buyin it.

that is very true with glasses you get a focal point type of vision. where as contacts go around the entire cornea and iris of the eye allowing it to expand it viewing space. though contacts my be irritating once in a while, whey allow you to see everything a bit more clearly and you do not have to worry about having them slip liek glasses. all you have to do is clean (depending on docs orders) and wear them worry free pretty much.

yup...i had glasses...but being from my family....we have no bridge to keep the glasses from falling down all the time...so i switched to contacts....i have my right eye with toric lens and the left with acuvue hydroclear lens and the toric has been bugging me lately ..it's been about 2-3 yrs with contacts and barely ONE starts to bug me....but then again, my eyes do get dry pretty quick...so that might be a factor.

i'm considering on going back to glasses, if i have to because i am going through pink eye right now and i've been half blind (my right eye, the one with the pink eye...no contacts in em cuz doc said not to put it back in yet) and my parents are freaking out about it ..blaming the contacts...of course...

i wear glasses and i'm the only one in the family who wears it... and hahha for some reason my driver's license doesn't say i'm required to wear glasses when driving even though if i take my glasses off every is all blurred
