Good day! Before I'm working in one of the university here as Data Encoder , my eyes was whole day staring at the computer and I think that's why my eyes are in bad eyesight now . I wear eyeglasses now because I can no longer see far things and I can't even letters so far . So how about you guys do you wear EYEGLASSES? GOD BLESS xchyler

hi there xchyler! :) yes, i do wear glasses because i'm near-sighted. i started wearing glasses when i was in my 2nd year in highschool. but because of my laziness in wearing glasses all the time and bad reading habits, i had to frequently change lenses because my eyesight was getting bad. but i've learned my lesson now and i'm wearing my glasses all the time already. and i no longer read in places with bad lighting.

Im suppose to wear them and I know I need to I have noticed that my eyes have been getting worse. With no insurance thou it makes it hard to be able to get any. I did get a pair a little over a year ago and they cost dearly, over 300.00 dollars, however my son broke them and I have yet been able to afford doing anything in getting a new pair.

To answer your question, Yes I do wear eyeglasses. I've worn it since 6th grade and stopped wearing it for 3 years that made my problem with my eyesight much worse. The grade was 110 before it went up to 225. I'm actually near sighted. How bout you? I would guess you're far-sighted. Are you? By the way, if you're getting glasses and you're exposed to computers a lot I suggest that you to get glasses that has "anti-glare" to protect your eyes.

Yup, I wear eyeglasses. I got them in Grade 5. My parents noticed how I couldn't words from a certain distance and decided to get my eyes checked. I'm near-sighted as well, so I can't see things that are far away. Looking back on it now, I remember sitting close to the TV a lot. I wonder is it was because of that I've got poor eyesight or maybe my poor eyesight was why I sat closer to the TV.

Yes, I've been wearing eyeglasses since I was in High School. I do wear contact lenses though when we go out, but generally especially when I'm in front of the pc I make use of my eyeglasses. I'm near-sighted and have a pretty high-grade of glasses but I'm used to it and sometimes I even forget I have one on.

I've been wearing them since I was 15 years old and now they're are part of my life for so long I can't remember how it is without them. You do get used to it and then its quite natural. Try to get a pair that makes you look good. Sometimes they make you look better than you did before you had to use them.

I used to need to wear glasses when I was in high school, for reading and such. However, now I don't need them anymore. When I went to the optometrist towards the end of high school, she told me that I didn't need them. So, now, I'm university and I don't wear glasses anymore, as my eyesight has gotten better, although not perfect. I'm not sure what happened, but it's just the way that it goes.

I have been wearing eyeglasses since I was in Grade 5. I think it is because it runs in the family. The good thing is that it has not reached more than 150, the grade of my lens. But I wear them from time to time because it makes me feel dizzy not wearing one.

Yes, I wear glasses. I love my glasses and wearing glasses in general. It makes me feel smarter. I'm not sure why but it does ha. I plan to always wear glasses even though I have considered corrective eye surgery. Glasses arent that bad. I've never been a contacts girl. My eyes are too small and its such a pain to get them in then take them out for me. Glasses are great!

I wear glasses since i was in primary school. I love reading and was and still is a computer nerd and my eyesight became poor probably because of that. Now some of my friends are wearing glasses even though they have perfect eyesight because wearing glasses has become a trend in fashion...lol Cheers

i do wear eyeglasses whenever i face the computer. i also have the same situation (not seeing far) but i just tend to bring my eyeglasses with me when i go out of the house. just in case i need to look quite far. my eyeglasses tend to overpower my face and i don't have time to put on make up anymore to balance this out. also my frame, though a classic and durable, is quite distracting.

Yes, I wear glasses since gth grade, means I was 11 years at the time. Actually, it was too late to wear glassses at the time, I already have problem with my eyes since 2nd grade I think, due to very selectively choosing vegetables and fruits that I eat. My glasses went to minus 6 the first time I wore it and then 11 years from that, I wore minus 8 glasses with cylinder 1, which is very high considering that people usually only wear glasses less than minus 5. Now I try to eat all kinds of vegetables and fruits, but my eyes keep on staring at the computer for almost 16 hours of a day, therefore I want to do lasik surgery to my eye someday, maybe when I am 25, since right now I don't have the money to do that

hi xchyler, i am still young so i am happy because my eyes are very good now, i can still read far letters, and i am happy for it.. i hope i can't be like you this coming years.. that's why i am trying my very best to eat a nutritious food like vegetables, particularly squash.. i love squash so much, maybe it really helps me that's why they are still working and very ok.. and i don't usually stare to the television or even in front of the computer, and i make sure that if ever i do more time in front of the computer, i will glance a while outside because the whole day staring there without giving your eyes relaxed is very bad and can make your eyes so bad.. janebeth.

Good day! Nope. I never eyeglasses. I'm 37 years old and for about 10 years that I am using computers, I'm glad my sight is still that sharp. Sometimes, it is on how we take care of our eyes. For me, I let my eyes rest for some minutes from time to time. I can't imagine myself wearing one for now but I am looking for the day when I am older. Happy mylotting.
