I got glasses.

OMG! The leaves have trees?!

Haha. I know what you mean.

When I first got glasses, I put them on, and suddenly the big green blob's with brown smears poking out them were leaves with a tree attached.

It's amazing the difference between needing specs and not wearing them, and wearing them for the first time - you don't realise how much your eyesight has deteriorated until you can see properly again.

Piccyture?

Picture will be up soon enough

Welcome to the club.

I have them as well.

As do I and believe me, they helped a lot. I can read the chalk board from the back of the class now! That and things like going to the movies, general walking around, and even driving. I mean, I can actually read the road signs BEFORE I get to them and at night i'm not blinded even more by headlights.

Contacts are hte way togo

I have those too!

I've never worn glasses! Take that!

This man is very wise.

Being able to see is fun!

da som funy stuf

I'm surprised so many of you need glasses. We should have a poll, I'm curious what portion of Zelaron has bad eyesight.

I blame my parent's genes.

That, and staring at a computer screen for 5+ years.

Yeah that certainly doesn't help, but I got glasses when I was around 10.. before I discovered the Internet.

Now, the thing is, I didn't actually get glasses until last Christmas( I probably should have had them 2yrs prior in grade 11 - didnt realize how bad I did need them), so I need time to let my eyes adjust on there own. You know, they apparently will and my prescription is subject to change. So contacts are out of the question for a little while.

Same here. I wasn't a big computer user until I was about 13/14, and I got specs at 12.

I blame the years of reading in the dark every night.
