Re: poll: vision
Do you wear corrective lenses? Yes.
Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts? Why? Normally I prefer contacts, because I don't like the way glasses look on my face, and I hate it when my glasses get dirty, or wet on rainy days. Also I don't like wearing glasses on sunny days because I can't put on sunglasses. Contacts are trouble for me though since I tend to take naps a lot and fall asleep with them in.
How often do you get a new pair of glasses? Not very often because I'm cheap and my vision doesn't change much each year. Maybe every 5 years. My current ones are 3 years old and I am itching for a new pair but like I said I'm cheap so I'll probably hold off a bit.
How long are your contacts good for? (Dailies, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, etc) I have the 1 month kind now. I used to have the 2 week ones but they discontinued my brand and I didn't like the new ones. Daily and 1 week ones get too dry on my eyes and the 3 month ones I am scared of because if I rip or lose one early on in the month that's a lot of money to throw away.
Would you wear contacts to change your eye color? Probably not. I like my eyes fine how they are now. If I got a free sample I might try them for fun.
Do you ever work out with glasses on? No but I'm wearing my glasses today and planning to go to the gym tonight. I'm wondering if I should switch to my contacts first or not. I'm worried that my glasses will bounce around while I'm running... maybe that's ridiculous, I don't know.
Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts? He prefers contacts. Why?
How often do you get a new pair of glasses? He hasn't gotten a new pair in a number of years.
How long are your contacts good for? He wears 2 week ones.
Would you wear contacts to change your eye color? No.
Do you ever work out with glasses on? N/A
I am SO JEALOUS! My insurance is pretty good in general so I won't complain, but that is an awesome perk.
Do you wear corrective lenses? YES!
Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts? Why? Contacts. My vision is so bad that if I wear glasses I have no peripheral vision, so I can't drive and in general it's frustrating.
How often do you get a new pair of glasses? About every 2 years. I go to the eye doctor every year, but since I only wear my glasses at night when my contacts are out, to save money, I only get new ones when they don't work for me any more.
How long are your contacts good for? (Dailies, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, etc) 2 weeks.
Would you wear contacts to change your eye color? I don't think so. Maybe something to "enhance" my eye color.
Do you ever work out with glasses on? No, like I said, I can't really see out of them, so I get frustrated. When I was in high school and didn't have contacts I would play soccer without any correction...no wonder I never scored a goal/ constantly missed passes.
::knocks on wood::
I have better than 20/20 vision. The rest of my family has/needs glasses. I just keep counting my lucky stars!
We are very lucky. When I was on my parents insurance it was every 2 years.
I had 20/20 vision until I was 17, then I was driving one night and realized, I can't see.
Do you wear corrective lenses? Yep
Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts? Why? Definitely contacts. My face gets tired when I wear glasses, like my face muscles are working too hard trying to keep them from sliding down or something.
How often do you get a new pair of glasses? Maybe once every 4-5 years. I hardly ever wear them so there's no need to replace them very often.
How long are your contacts good for? (Dailies, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, etc) Mine are technically good for 2 weeks but my eye doctor said I can wear them for a month, no problem, so that's what I do.
Would you wear contacts to change your eye color? Eh, maybe once or twice for fun, but generally no.
Do you ever work out with glasses on? No way, that would not work for me.
ooh, fun. DH and I are both blind as bats- I feel sorry for our kids.
Do you wear corrective lenses? yes
Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts? Why? contacts, mostly because my glasses prescription is out of date, so I can't see things far away very well, and I like not having anything on my face. Also it's nice to be able to buy cheap sunglasses instead of prescription ones.
How often do you get a new pair of glasses? used to be every couple years, the current pair is 4 years old and I'm getting a new pair soon (I had an eye infection last week, and was stuck wearing my glasses while it healed, and, ugh. I couldn't see anything)
How long are your contacts good for? (Dailies, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, etc) technically 2 months, but I wear them so long each day I change them every 6 weeks.
Would you wear contacts to change your eye color? When I first got contacts, I did, for fun. And it was fun. I got a free pair of green ones (i have blue grey eyes), but I didn't want to have to buy 6 pairs, so I don't have them anymore.
Do you ever work out with glasses on? no, they always slip down from the movement and perspiration, it's so annoying. Plus that gives me a headache. I might be ok doing pilates wearing glasses, I haven't tried that.
Do you wear corrective lenses? Yes.
Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts? Why? I wear contacts mostly because they are more comfortable to me.
How often do you get a new pair of glasses? I had one pair in college, didn't buy another pair until 2 years ago, so once every 5 or more years.
How long are your contacts good for? (Dailies, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, etc) Supposedly 2 weeks, but I go a month or just over between changes
Would you wear contacts to change your eye color? nah, one of the admins does that and it looks so fake.
Do you ever work out with glasses on? no
Do you wear corrective lenses? Yes
Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts? Why? contacts, I feel like I see better with them than my glasses
How often do you get a new pair of glasses? once every five years or so since I only wear them at home
How long are your contacts good for? (Dailies, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, etc) They're supposed to be worn constantly for a month and then tossed but I don't think that's very healthy so I take them out every night and usually toss them once they start feeling really thin
Would you wear contacts to change your eye color? No, those never look very natural and I like my eye color!
Do you ever work out with glasses on? I never work out, lol!
Do you wear corrective lenses? Yes
Do you prefer to wear glasses or contacts? Why? Contacts- I feel I see better with them on, better peripheral vision.
How often do you get a new pair of glasses? Every couple of years or if they break
How long are your contacts good for? (Dailies, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, etc) Dailies (I have really bad allergies- the others collect too much stuff on them and I have problems)
Would you wear contacts to change your eye color? Absolutely not!
Do you ever work out with glasses on? I hate it but would if I had to
