I used to cheat on the eye exams they gave us at school so I wouldn't have to wear glasses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-wearing-glassescontacts#post-85635 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 22:20:07 +0000 pastemoo 85635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Found out I needed them at age almost 25. Still only wear them very rarely, for sightseeing and sometimes for movies. I don't need them to drive, or anything important. (I'm 28) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-wearing-glassescontacts#post-85630 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 22:13:20 +0000 winniebee 85630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Age 2!</p> <p>I was born with glaucoma (had surgery when 8 weeks old) as well as nearsightedness and cataracts! I have been wearing glasses since age 2, started wearing contacts at age 12 and wore them almost exclusively until last year when I had cataracts surgery. Then, I started wearing progressive lenses glasses for work and contacts on weekends. </p> <p>Since I was born in 1980, let's just say I had some pretty amazing cokebottle glasses growing up ; ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-wearing-glassescontacts#post-85627 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 22:10:15 +0000 Grace 85627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fourth grade. And they were HUGE!!! I started wearing contacts in university and haven't looked back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-wearing-glassescontacts#post-85133 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 12:09:35 +0000 mrs. wagon 85133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1st grade :( yep, I was THAT asian geek.</p> <p>started with contacts freshman year of high school and never turned back... now I can't even wear glasses without getting a massive migraine. I wear contacts probably 12 hours a day, every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-wearing-glassescontacts#post-85132 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 12:09:17 +0000 lemondrop 85132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 6 or 7 when I got glasses, I cried for days over it. I was 10 when I got contacts because my eyes were changing too fast, the doc thought contacts would help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-wearing-glassescontacts#post-85120 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 11:54:36 +0000 enjollah 85120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5th grade...

My vision is horrific and it makes me so sad that I don't qualify for Lasik. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-wearing-glassescontacts#post-84952 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 09:17:46 +0000 mediagirl 84952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 23. I realized I needed them full-time when I was walking down the hallway at work and couldn't pick out who was walking towards me until they were practically on top of me.

When I was 14, I started wearing them all the time. I tried contacts but I hate things touching my eyes, so no contacts for me! Then I got Lasik when I was 21. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-wearing-glassescontacts#post-84066 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 15:12:08 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 84066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got glasses about a month ago and I'm 25. I've probably needed glasses for a while, but after christmas (I blame the ps3 my DH got), I started getting headaches every day and it was awful. They would come on after looking at the computer for a while or watching tv, so I went in and got checked and sure enough, I needed a mild Rx. No more headaches though! Hooray! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-wearing-glassescontacts#post-84061 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 15:05:08 +0000 birdofafeather 84061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i realized i needed them freshman year of HS and go them right before i started driving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-wearing-glassescontacts#post-84026 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:33:19 +0000 Penny Lane 84026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I may have won so far... :P I was 6 years old when I got my first pair.
