Lol. Just googled the make of my frames to see if I could find a picture, and they're named after a Japanese teapot.

I don't think mine even have a name. They're just a number/letter combination, yeah they're that cheap.  :P
Only requirement I had while getting them was that they fit my face. That's hard enough already.

Sunglasses are pricier ones though. I have pretty light sensitive eyes. So they're quite good.

Because we can!

Eyesight's gooooood, I think. Hopefully I won't ruin my eyes any time soon (I have the bad habbit of reading books till the early hours of the day with a pretty bad lamp  ::)).

Are you deaf as well as blind, woman? I'm not a carpet to walk over and I
distinctly heard myself speak. If I pinch your bottom, you can slap my face, but until I do, I expect a civil word for a civil word!

WUT?

You can use contacts to change your eye colour, with occasionally very interesting results.

None, but I guess I'll have to ... because of watching anime day and night..  ;D

EDIT: I'll really have to go to the optician the next few days, and I guess I'll be getting some.  :'(

Old, scratched and slightly bent to the left (they don't normally sit straight on my head any more) glasses. I've never been interested in using contacts, maybe it's just cause I'm lazy or got use to glasses.
I'm short sighted so I can't read anything more than a foot in front of me without my glasses on either.

OMG, This is EXACTLY me ;D

Glasses for me. I picked out mine because they looked like Seta's (Love Hina) and I just had to get em. Before that I just had some generic rounded Walmart glasses

If I had to choose, I would also wear glasses like seta san's.

Btw.: We should start something like a glasses-day here sometime...

Something like:

hahaha, what a stupid idea...  ::)

Used to wear contacts for 1-2 years, then I decided that it is to much bother and now I am wearing glasses. I think these ones are my 3rd or 4th ones and I do not like them. I used to like the ones before these and before that. But...mmmm I guess these ones are 5th ones after all. Dunno.

I use glasses, but not all the time. I am nearsighted, so I use glasses when driving, using my computer (high resolution and 50-80cm distance from the monitor) and in lectures when I need to see the projected slides etc. Other times I don't use the glasses, as I joke "I'll see that lamp post before I bump into it so I can avoid it".

i wear glasses ive been rocking oakleys for the past 4-5 years (gone through 3 pairs) im really fucking harsh on my glasses and if i hadnt been able to bend a few thing back from the completely wrong way on oakleys i wouldnt support them so hard. I fall asleep with my glasses on all the time and apparently a lot of people ruin glasses doing this lol.

I tried contacts but i just cant be bothered with having an extra thing to do in the morning. Not to mention i enjoy having a small glass shield over my eye its saved my eyes from getting hit by shit quite a few times.

Perfect vision, but I wonder how long that will last.

Perfect vision. Over 10 years of people telling me the contrary.

Last check, I had 18/20 vision. It wasn't 16/20 because I accidentally skipped 1 letter on the line. I could see the letter though so I know I can qualify for 16/20.

For those who don't know... 18/20 means I can see things at 20 feet that the average person needs 18 feet to see. Not hard to figure out 16/20.

I always steal people's glasses and wear them though. I still have perfect vision. I had a pair of glasses with non prescription lenses, but someone sat on them. :(

Considering purchasing a pair of glasses the next time I go to Hong Kong. Frames and non prescription glasses. (Mainly for the look of wearing glasses and not the need of wearing glasses)
This is your home now. So take advantage of everything here, except me.

Add both to the poll! :)
I just bought new set of glasses since old ones broke. I think these new ones look pretty good on me :)
Contacts I use randomly. Sometimes more sometimes less. Usually start using before TKD competition and wear them till they expire (30 days)
I bought from thailand for bargain price a stock of 1 year :D (I would have here in finland for two months for the price i bought there)

@burningstar: Colored?

Yes. Red

perfect vision. but i wear contacts just for style/fashion/whatever.

WUT?

I have a perfect vision I wear contacts just for the reasons above ^

Glasses when I go to uni or am tired. Otherwise make do without 'em.

I saw a woman with red contacts just the other week at uni. All I can say is, SWEEEEEET!

This, unfortunately almost everyone in my extended family has vision problems and all got it near middle age.
So far I am lucky and hopefully wont have to worry for another 20 years.

I've been wearing contacts more, recently.
