I began to wear eyeglasses at a young age. i was only nine. The school nurse failed my eye exam. So began a life of eyeglaass wear for me.

Hello Care. Yes, I wear eyeglasses. I've been wearing eyeglasses since I was in college. I was fourteen years old then. Now I'm still wearing glasses but I'd want to get a laser operation. It's quite expensive so I'm still saving up.

i was 16. i still have to wear them because of astigmatism, but i don't wear them. it's pretty weird with me actually. when i was a kid, i've always wanted glasses. i would always wear my mom's glasses or my classmate's glasses and my mom would tell me that that would ruin my eye sight, which just made me do it more. then when i was diagnosed with astigmatism, and the doctor's making me wear glasses all the time, i never wear them :)

I was three when I started wearing glasses. I had BAAAAD vision. All the kids at preschool called me glasses girl and it made me feel sad and lonely. lol Yeah, I got contacts as soon as I turned 13 and I haven't gone back since.

It really surprise me that you wear eye glasses at very young age of three. It must indeed very hard for you, especially at school you have lots of limitations especially when playing with other kids. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I started wearing eye glasses when i was 15. First i used them just for reading from a school board, but later i started wearing them permanently. I think it somehow fits my personality. Also now a days people prefere contact lenses and its getting more trendy. I am not thinking about them anyway, cuz i am happy with my eye glasses. I think its the most comfortable thing for my eyes. More than the lenses that are making eyes painful.

I was twelve when I started wearing glasses. And, I still wear them (at 35). I've never worn contacts. Sticking something in my eye isn't something I want to try.
