The lens in your eye may be too strong and thus focus the image of the outside world in front of your retina, or it may be to weak and focus the image behind the retina.  By placing a lens (glasses) in front of the eye, we can compensate for this by ensuring the image falls exactly on the retina, which allows for good vision.

There isn't a solution for glasses and contacts besides surgery. \nGlasses were really annoying when I first got them 8 years ago, and they are still sometimes annoying..\nIn winters, the glasses get misty in winter when I go inside a building or when I try to drink tea/coffee (and when I am skiing..).\nOther than that, it's fine. I got used to it now, and it became part of me. In fact, it's more annoying to not be able to see anything than wearing glasses itself being annoying.\n\nDon't worry.. you will get used to it.

No, you cannot go blind from not wearing your glasses, unless you aren't wearing them when something sharp flys into your eyes. Then you can go blind.

Truth is it's normal to have to change glasses regularly because your eye power keeps changing - if you wear your current glasses alot - it will probably help and your power will go down - hence a new pair for your new needs... if you don't wear your glasses much then it's probably reasonable that your power will go up and a new pair is in sight. I've been wearing glasses since I was 4 - and trust me I've had more than 4 pairs of glasses - think of it as a chance to revamp yourself... don't worry, often if you take good cair of your eyes (wear ur glasses often) and don't be too vain... sometimes you get cured... and if that doesn'thappen there's always laser eye surgery when ur older.

I'm nearsighted and wear glasses at work.  When I usually meet people for the first time (or going to a party or club), I wear contact lenses because I want people to remember my fact, rather than my glasses.  Besides, people who saw me wearing glasses first will think something is missing when I don't wear glasses.

I guess so, but I don't really pay attention to that....people used to say things like that to me when I wore glasses so I wouldn't feel so weird, but who wants to look smart, really? I just want to be me, and wearing glasses wasn't me. I prefer my contacts so I can see everything clearly!\n\nI don't like wearing a watch simply because it gets in my way when I'm writing and typing ~ there are times when I should really rethink that!

Also when your not suppose to wear them and you have perfect sight may mess them up and make them weak or if your not wearing perscribed glasses to you will make them weak..

You might find, depending on the type of glasses you have, that you need to wear bright eyeshadows on them, to emphasise your eyes and not the glasses. Glasses for short sight make your eyes look smaller, glasses for long sight make them look bigger, so play to your strengths.

The first day I met my wife she was wearing glasses. She was smart and very HOT. It was love at first site.\n\n36 years later she still wears glasses, is smarter and even HOTTER!! \n\nQuit showing your insecurity. It will only attract men who will want to take advantage of it and use and abuse you.\n\nBE PATIENT. HE IS OUT THERE.

I prefer contact lenses because they reduce glare.  Glasses tend to get heavy after a while.  Although, glasses are fun to put on top of your head to hold the hair back out of your face.

You know you need glasses when you start seeing things in a blur. Or you start getting heachaches if you read to much.\n\nOnly the optican can give you a diffinite answer though

If you need glasses, it means that your eyes are, in a way, mis-shapen. Your eye focuses light to the back of your eye.  It your eye is the right shape, the light will focus perfectly, allowing for perfect vision.  If your eye isn't shaped quite right, the light will not focus where it is supposed to, therefore causing blurred vision.  That is what glasses and contacts do, they bend light so that it hits your eye at the right spot.\nSome vision problems are hereditary, but you cannot hurt your vision by sitting too close to the tv!\n\nHere's just a couple of eye myths... http://www.midwesteyecare.com/SubSection/index.php?SectionID=7&SubSectionID=154&ParentID=61

If you need them all the time then wear them all the time.  It's not wearing them when you need to that makes them worse. -- My husband wears eye glasses and his prescription barely changes enough to notice --

It depends.  If you are nearsighted, glasses can make your eyes look smaller.  (The more nearsighted, the smaller the lenses make your eyes look.)  If you're farsighted, the glasses can make your eyes look bigger (like a magnifying glass).
