Nice job with the Now Show meme.  :cool:

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.
Wait, you posted pictures in some trendy Mad Men specs. What changed your mind?

I'm only -0.5 in one, -1.0 in the other , but the -2.0 cylinder (astigmatism) is what screws me. My specs give normal-sighted people vertigo.

My near-sightedness is just +1.0 and I can focus in a beat, so I'll just keep an eye on that, pun intended, for a bit.

My left eyesight is not as sharp as it used to be, but I don't need glasses yet.

I got glasses for distance about ten or fifteen years ago. Also for reading, though I can still read most print ok it's usually not very comfortable.

As I've gotten older, apparently print has been made so much smaller!   ;)

Other.  Good in one eye, bad in the other.

In theory, my glasses even out my vision, but in practice, the doctor patches them as "we need to protect your good eye, since if something happens to it, you're legally blind."

I'm fairly certain there is zero connection between poor vision and metaphorical short-sightedness.

I was referring to the heightened nerd concentration, but now that you bring it up.....  :hmm:

Eyesight is still quite good after...hmm...about 4 or so years after getting the PRK surgery.  Last exam I had was about a year ago, and was still at 20/15.

Though I expect reading glasses will come, they say that PRK/Lasik does nothing to correct that inevitability.

My bf told me I look goofy. :P

I don't wear glasses though they'd be helpful.  I'm not really in denial, I just don't want to spend the money on an easily breakable, losable item.  Eventually I suppose I'll have to, however.  I'll crash that car when I come to it.

Myopic since mid-1980s, always had the same correction (-1.50/-1.25) ever since, until February 2011, when after some pretty bad headaches I went for a control and discovered myopia was going better. Now I have -1.00/-1.00 correction.
