I'm due for an eye exam and since returning to work my eyes have been soooooo sore after staring at my computer screen all day long. I'm 28 this weekend and I don't have glasses yet, hoping that it's not time to start

Proud glasses wearer since 1989

@aprk: do you ever wear contacts?
-
@prettylizy: I did for a number of years, but my husband and I got tired (and lazy) of paying for them. We've both been in glasses 100% since 2011. I have three pair and like switching them up. So much easier on my eyes.
-
Yes! I wear them all the time when I work from home!
-
nope!
-
Been wearing them since I was 5
contacts since I was 12. It's not so bad -
@aprk:
I'm stealing your answer format.Proud glasses wearer since 1983. Age 2.
-
I used to. I wore them from age 8 until 21 (but not full time until I was 14). I could never do contacts because I hate anything touching my eyes. I got Lasik done 2 years ago and it was the best decision ever!
-
I've had corrective lenses since I was around 3 or 4. I prefer glasses over contacts.
-
@prettylizy: I've been wearing glasses since I was six. When you have your perscription, I suggest checking out Coastal Eyewear (you get your first pair free, Google the promo code "firstpairfree" or something like that). I also love Warby Parker & Mezzmer. I have glasses from all 3 places, and they're great!
-
Only to drive and for distance reading.
-
Only reading glasses to reduce strain on the computer!
-
@VEGMAMA: thanks for the tip!!!!
-
Been in glasses since 4th grade. I wear contacts mostly but I will wear my glasses around the house.
-
Since I was 16 months old!
-
I got glasses when I was 25 after starting my first job, also from looking at a computer all day. I have a feeling ill look back and regret my choice of glasses because they're pretty geeky, but right now I actually like them
-
I've worn them every single day since I was seven.
Honestly, I don't know who I am/what i would look like without my glasses. Haven't even considered contacts! -
I have been wearing glasses for 5 years. Without them my world is not crisp and clear.
-
I did every day until I got LASIK last summer. Best decision ever! It's so nice waking up being able to see the alarm clock!
-
Yup, because I'm terrified of things going near my eyes, so contacts never worked out for me. Going to the eye doctor is like going to the dentist for some. I hate it.
-
I wear contacts during the day and put my glasses on before I go to bed. Glasses stay on until I shower or get tired of wearing glasses.
I can't wait to get lasik -
Since 3rd grade. I'll fiddle with contacts for special occasions but wearing glasses is just easier. I actually need to go for an exam, my eyes feel super tired lately.
-
I wear glasses. I also have contacts so wherever I going or or not running behind I can wear those
-
Glasses wearer for 23 years (Wow that makes me sound/feel old lol), contacts for 14 years!
-
I've worn them since the 7th grade. I had plenty of vision problems before that but was in denial, ha. Sometimes I think I should switch to contacts, but I haven't yet. I will most likely just wait a while and save so I can have lasik.
-
Yup been wearing them since the 6th grade.
-
I remember reading that pregnancy and lactation can affect your vision temporarily, so I've been putting off getting a new glasses prescription until breastfeeding is totally finished.
-
Nope. DH and I both have better than 20/20 vision. I am going to be so sad the day I find out I need glasses. We're hoping that our genetics carried through to DD... so far she seems to have great vision, although it is hard to tell with such a young child.
-
I've been in glasses since 9th grade, but I usually wear contacts during the day.
-
Yup! Been in glasses since kindergarten and contacts since the 2nd grade. I'm pretty much technically blind.
