How's your eyesight?

[Brazen]

I've just been for my annual eye check-up and I've finally got to the point where I will shortly need reading glasses as well my distance/astigmatism pair. So it's a cord round the neck, bifocals, or peering disapprovingly over a half-moon pair in the next year or so for me

How's your eyesight? Got glasses/lenses or do you suspect you need some but are in denial?

[Josquius]

My eyesight, despite a lifetime at a computer screen, thankfully remains intact.

My hearing on the other hand...

[Tamas]

Well, don't do bifocals, you are way too young for that! Reading glass is perfectly okay though

Apart from this cylinder thing which keeps switching here and there somewhat, my eyesight has been practically stagnating for about a decade now, the worsening of it has been marginal. Which ain't too bad considering I work and play with computers.

Glasses since High School. Too much Atari 2600.

I'm myopic since 1979. I use glasses at home.

Outside those closer to me it nobody knows I have bad eyesight, thanks to that strange miracle of modern science called "contact lenses".

yeah I am pretty sure nobody notices it you are wearing them

Unless you are a user yourself, you can't notice them unless specifically looking VERY closely at the eyes.

Modern lenses aren't like the old glass ones that made our eyes resemble those of a frog.

My eye sight has been steadily going downhill since high school.  This August I got a restriction put on my license that said I must wear glasses while driving.  Before that, I typically wore my glasses while driving but was not required to.   The last few years my eye sight has really gotten bad, to the point where without my glasses I find myself talking to to strangers thinking they are acquaintances and getting into the wrong car in the parking lot.  Refuse to get contacts though.

I have glasses, but I don't need them except for the computer.  I can see perfectly, but one of my eyes is lazy and can't make a proper focus from short to long distance and back.  So I got headaches when I don't wear them.
Otherwise, I'm fine.

My eyesight is awful. I can read a book without my contacts, but reading things on my monitor is problematic. Anything beyond a couple feet is a blur.

I need glasses for distance slightly but I never wear them - actually I lost my only pair.

Yep.  My eyesight is horrible.

[Syt]

-0.5/-0.25 or thereabouts. Not much, but having glasses pay off when I'm at the movies or the theater, want to read street signs on the other side of the street etc.

Same here, except that I'm never putting things on my eyeballs.

[Martinus]

Nice job with the Now Show meme. 

And I'm the "in denial" group. I have about -0.5 but refuse to wear glasses since can't be arsed/look goofy in all I tried.
