phoenixflames Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 I have stratismas exetropia. It's where my eyes don't focus on one thing. But my contacts fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven's Cloud Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 [color=indigo] I have astigmatism in both eyes also. My sight isn't quite as bad as some of you guys though. It seems that every year my contact perscription gets higher. i also wear glasses, but usually only when I have left my contacts in too long:eek: [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 [color=crimson]I have to wear glasses, but I have no idea what my prescription is or anything like that. I never wear my classes unless I'm in glass and I need to see the board even though I'm supposed to always wear them. I look super smart and sophisticated in my glasses, but they just don't match the attire that I like to clothe myself in. I want contacts, but I'm just going to wait for those. If I held my breath for them, I wouldn't make it too long. Anywho, I like glasses alright. And the lead singer of Weezer is a cutie...he's like an adorable geek... And I love the Fast and Furious...that green car is so sexy...when I saw that movie at the theatres I almost started crying when that car got shot up and exploded. I was so PISSED![/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan L Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Squashed Snail [/i] [B] I have a 5.95 perscription. :toothy: I can't even see a metre in front of me clearly without my contact lenses or glasses on..... And according to the optomitrist (sp?), my eyes are getting worse every year by 0.15..... *sigh* [/B][/QUOTE] YO! Deus wears contacts! Me gots cool ones that you can wear for a month without taking them out even when you sleep! What... 5.95?? I'm 2.75 in my left eye, 3.25 in my right... so I'm an average of 3.00 ...and [i]my[/i] vision is bad... 5.95 must be very bad indeed... [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Delian [/i] [B] Astigmatism is really bad. Can laser surgery fix it? I hear it can do wonders these days:) The only thing i've ever needed for my eyes was Visine Revive, but I've been blessed with good eye sight, although they do tend to cloud up a little when I get migranes...which is not often, thank God. [/B][/QUOTE] Although laser surgery can fix the short sightedness in astigmatism (which may be what you meant, but I'll continue anyway), It can not actually fix the shape of the eye, if that's what you meant..

[/B][/QUOTE] Yes.. most people do.. but I was not blessed with the ability to do such a thing. I just.. can't stick something in my eye without looking at it. I have to put it directly onto the pupil. It's strange I know but it's just the way I do it. It took me a while to get over my squeamishness about puttin' things in my eyes too. But then, when the opticians had just about lost hope (yeah, the ones I go to won't let you have the lenses til you can put em in and take em out), I did it!

Guest BulmaVegeta1 Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B][color=deeppink]Heck yes I wear contacts...I don't like to NOT wear them! Glasses seem like a hassle to me now...probably because I've been wearing contacts for 6 years, and they're so nice and easy. And I'm very very blind...maybe even legally blind? Haha, nah...I know I'm not legally blind, but... ...anyone want to compete with a -5.75 perscription? I know at least SOMEONE is more blind than that...[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] My percription is the same as yours! I am like blind in my left eye, but my right eye is -4.25. My left is -5.75. I have to wear my glasses sometimes since I'm one of those un-lucky people that wear contact lenses.:cool: It's such a hassle sometimes to wear these damn things, but I look better without my "Austin Powers" red glasses. Or at least my friends at school said that. My dad was about to buy me some colored contact lenses, but couldn't since my perscription is so strong and that I have something called a stigmatisim. My eyes are like shaped really weird so I have to wear these freaky ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amibasuki Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 I hate glasses. I was so relieved when I finally got contacts. my perscription's -6.25, so I can't see without 'em. they're so comfy :D the only time I DON'T wear my contacts is when my eyes are really wired or something, and even then I only wear my glasses around the house.

And I really thought I'd be freaked out by touching my eye lol...I get freaked out by that kinda stuff... And yet, after about a week...I got used to 'em.

Fall Posted February 4, 2002 Author Share Posted February 4, 2002 Hehe, when I didn't have contacts, and I wasn't wearing my glasses, I mistook someone else for my friend..... They got very angry..... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asar Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 haha, oh that's happened so many times it's no longer funny! what about at school, forgetting them and then spending the entire day squinting at the board?:confused: oh, the troubles of the (near) blind.

Fall Posted February 5, 2002 Author Share Posted February 5, 2002 Yeah, that's happened a few times before..... I got in trouble for not doing my work.....

asar Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 If only it was a valid excuse!! How good would that be! "Sorry, Miss, can't do work today, forgot my glasses" "Oh that's fine, you can just do your own thing for the rest of the period" Suddenly it'd be cool to wear glasses...no more names or practical jokes... "Hey man, look at that hot chick over there..." "Where?" "right there man, look she's winking at you...oh wait..too late, she's gone...tough luck buddy..."
