Thus far, I have incredibly good short-distance vision (such as when I'm reading a book). I think it's actually a little better than 20/20. But doing something such as trying to read a blackboard in the back of a classroom, I couldn't make anything out, even if I squint. It's really a shame. Basically, I'm exceedingly near-sighted. <br><br>I'm also pretty scared, too, since my dad's vision can't even be measured it's so bad. He wears insanely thick glasses, and I'm just scared that's gonna be me someday.<br><br>Also Weezer = >:[

Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

So...am I the only one on this forum without glasses/lenses? I'm feeling like not nearly as many people had to wear glasses/lenses some 10 years ago, but that may also just be a figment of my imagination <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I've had to wear glasses for most of my life, starting at about 11 months. I never did like the notion of wearing contacts, and y'know, growing up, other kids seemed to have trouble recognizing me without glasses. Maybe it was because I always had these big plastic ones... I only finally got MEHTUL frames when I went to college. <!--emo&:sweat:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... atdrop.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sweatdrop.gif' /><!--endemo-->
