Vision problems and FIRST members

[sciencenerd]

I'm 20/20, but if it makes any of you glasses wearers feel better I used to wish that I had worse vision so I could wear big glasses and look nerdier.

As an interesting comparison, 71% of the adult American population uses glasses or contacts. More than I thought...

The poll does not have my option!

I've had glasses since the eight grade. I wore them a few days after receiving them, but they have been in the case since then. I just choose to go without them even though some objects in the distance may be bit fuzzy.

I did pass my drivers license eye examination a few years ago, so apparently I can see good enough to drive without them.

do you squint to see well? thats not a good thing, people will subconsciously think you are sneering at them.

If your glasses gave you a headache, or caused eyestrain after a few days, you may have been straining your eyes while they were being checked (something that many people do). When you get your eyes checked you have to relax your eyes while the Dr is doing the "A or B" exam.

I did not get glasses till I was in college, and could not read the blackboard from the back of big lecture halls. Once I got them I wished I had gotten them sooner. The world looks better when its sharp and clear (well... most of it does :^)

and if you dont like wearing glasses I got contacts about a year ago. I love them (and will never go back to glasses)
