I for one hate wearing eyeglasses! I think I'm farsighted so I wear extremely thick coke bottle type glasses that magnify my eyes. Before PML I used to wear gas permeable hard contacts. I stopped wearing them more for the fact that I was having a hard time putting them in and taking them out then because of my vision problems. Heck I have no peripheral vision to my left either way glasses or contacts. So 3 days ago I decided to try my contacts again. Amazingly I had very little problems putting them in or taking them out so day one I wore them for maybe 15 minutes day to maybe 30 minutes and today I've had them on for several hours now. I'm hooked again :) now I just need a new prescription. Don't know if I should see a specialist for an eye exam or just an optometrist. Guess that something I need to ask my doctor when I see her on Wednesday. Gas permeable are so much easier than soft contacts they are smaller and don't turn over and they popout easier with just a little tug at the corner of the eyelid.

I hate glasses too, Jeff. Mine are 'progressives', and I am always doing a bob and weave to find the right spot to look out of.
Lately, I have been wearing one contact lens, in my right eye. If I put in both lens, I cannot read anything. I refuse to wear contacts AND glasses.
If I had the money, I would have Lasik.

i used to wear contacts, but realized they were quite a pain after a night out of drinking trying to take them out or remember to take them out.
That was a long time ago, and I know they have ones you can leave in. I do have a pair of regular glasses, but i don't wear them much either.
Hey, I can still tell that the big red circly thing is a stop sign.

I have glasses too, I can see close up, but distance is all fuzzy. I wear contacts mostly, and wont be seen dead in my glasses. Im a bit vain when it comes to them even though they are small framed and discreet looking things, I just can't handle them.. I even hate wearing sun glasses.
