I have to wear glasses since I can't see far orz. Been wearing them since 2nd grade, and i'm almost 32 now. Evidently it's hereditary cuz my entire family wears glasses or wore (my parents both got lasic eye surgery)
I wear glasses often when I'm out in public. My eyes are decent enough to go through a lot of daily activities without needing glasses, but I do need them if I'm going to drive so I got myself used to wearing them.
I've had to wear glasses since I was 10 (but the issues started when I was around 8, I just didn't realise my vision wasn't normal until a teacher pointed it out) and wear them from when I wake up to when I go to bed, since without them I can't even look in a mirror, a laptop or a whiteboard from the front row...
Somehow, I never needed glasses. My meds are known to cause problems with my eyes, but so far, the eye doctor is very impressed with my eyes. So knock on wood.
i had glasses as a child but i hated wearing them so i basically went through life blind until 8th grade when i finally got contacts. when i mean 'blind' i mean BLIND because i seriously couldn't see anything as near as 10 inches away i'm -7.50 prescription in my left eye and -8.00 prescription in my right eye.
