Do you wear glasses?

I have one good eye (used to be 20/20, it's getting worse, now it actually needs a -.5 prescription), and one bad eye (-3.5ish), so I've always just used my dominant eye.

Hopefully I'm getting that laser surgery for Christmas.

I'm hella pissed now though b/c my cateyes have lost a rhinestone!! The pair I had before this were vintage and none of those rhinestones ever fell out. This new set of frames is "new" and already falling apart. Bah.

(or not, as it just means her overly strong myopic eyes have got weaker with age. But hurrah anyway!)

i also knew the curse of elementary school bifocals

I got contacts starting in 9th grade and everything changed for me: sports better, girlz better, etc. but now it's like what's the point? I look like Rowan Atkinson without glasses anyway so screw it, I'm sticking with my little tiny Brecht-in-the-cafe-1924 glasses until they pry them off my still-smoking skull

to make matters worse they were those giant metal-frame ones with coke-bottle lenses you only ever see inveterate computer programmers in dirty golf shirts and ill-fitting dockers wearing these days

This is an "almost always" type of thing. Unless the frames are awful, glasses are HOTT.

I want a pair of really emo chunky black frames. I just need to save a bit of cash. Decent frames are so expensive!

Would love laser eye surgery but have heard too much negative stuff about it that I'm prepared to risk my eyesight for that much money.

Still, it was odd finding it and knowing he'd been sitting at my desk on my PC in MY ROOM and... *shudder*.

(major hassle = "seeing" a movie at the theatre)

I'm sick of them. I feel like they make me look even uglier, I'm tired of the way they feel on my face, I want to wake up and look around at things and be able to see what the time is or similar. I wish to God I could have eye surgery, but my eyesight is so bad that they currently can't correct my eyesight via even the most current technological advances. As for contacts -- I thought they were a bad idea when it took me two hours just to put one of them on, and the taking off part took nearly forever as well.

*big massive sighs*

How do you deal with putting them on when you've got tiny little eyes? What are your tips, suggestions, ideas, etc.? Also, my eyes are v. easily irritated. I have to wear sunglasses when the sun is out or my eyes get teary and I'm rendered blind for several minutes.

Help here would be much appreciated.

Like oops, I had a real bad time getting started with contacts because of course, you aren't used to sticking things in your eyes. In my case, my eyeballs are huge with respect to the size of my head, so my contacts are huge also. I literally have to wedge them into my eyes, but I'm used to it enough now that I can just pop them in and out with no reflex reaction.

Two years ago! Ouch.
