Do you really need to wear glasses or contacts all the time?
I have -2,25 both eyes and I wear glasses only when I drive or need to see something far. I read text at a distance of 60 cm (23 inches).

Maybe I can see things more cleary than you because my both eyes are -2,25, but your eyes variance by -0,25. Not sure, so how well can you see without glasses/lenses?

And laser surgercy...probably it is awesome, but damn expensive. 2200€ both eyes where I live.

I'm shortsighted and I'm too self conscious to use my glasses outside most of the time :( Fortunately however, my condition isn't severe so I'm not truly hindered if I don't use my glasses, but still. I should get over it and just use them, but I guess it's stronger than me and I can't seem to beat that fear.

I mean, people even say glasses look nice on me, but oh well...

I had that fear too, but now I just don't care what others think.
But because I had this fear and almost never wore glasses, I got used to see the world blurry. And if I wear glasses, vision is great, but too uncomfortable (if I look things that are near to me, it feels like looking through window and that's annoying).

[quote id=261-262-560-65369609-23-331906884][quote id=261-262-560-65369609-22-331906679] if I wear glasses, vision is great, but too uncomfortable (if I look things that are near to me, it feels like looking through window and that's annoying).[/quote] that's how i feel. Recently i wore glasses for one whole day (a sunday where i was at home all day) and after that my nose and my eyes really ached. I don't get how people can wear glasses every single day. I even had headaches from that weight on my nose, and i NEVER have any headaches. And yes whenever i look at something close with my glasses it feels for me too like looking through a window and that's really annoying.Well let's say -1.75 and -2.00 is BETTER than -2.25 but i got so used to contacts (And right now my right eye is reminding me with EVERY blink, since yesterday, that i wear contacts. I feel like i'm on something because of that). When I play rs, I need contacts or glasses. Sometimes at weekends, I try to play with my glasses, but then after like 2 hours I put them off cause they become TOO annoying and my nose and ears hurt lol. It's like wearing big heavy headphones idk. Also, i'm very self-confidant and i feel extremly unpleasant with glasses on. If i had to wear them daily, it would definitely lower my self-confidence cause i feel like a complete freak (not going to offend anyone) . Maybe this is because all of the male people IN MY CLASS (not EVERY MALE) who wear glasses kind of are " freaks " . By that I mean they're so shy it's almost autistic and they just smile childishly when they do not know what too say. But I think thats TMI. edit: I dont know how to fix that quote / sometimes I play RS without contacts/glasses cuz wearing contacts DAILY is not good for the eyes and glasses just annoy me extremly. After 2 days playing without said above I have back pain if you know what i mean

I wear glasses and have done since I was about 5yrs old (the pain I put my parents through by deliberately breaking my glasses as a kid just so I wasn't forced to wear them must have been a nightmare!) I learnt to love them though as an adult and can't live without them, not sure how they would give you an eye infection though, I'd be more inclined to think you'd get an eye infection from contacts :o

I couldn't wear contacts, ever, eye drops freak me out as does the idea of sticking my fingers anywhere near my eyeballs! :o
