Rats! I thought after enough ML-posting that nobody would know I was a full-on Maoist! If you cannot see naturally then you are Blind to The Truth! I however was blinded by the Glory of the light of the Shining Path! (Damnit did I just admit to being blinded, fuck, oh shit) ummm I mean uhh Say No to Glasses, I’m totally not Blind👎👓🚫⛔️🤓 /s

glasses. i honestly like how they look at this point and think they compliment my face pretty well so i don't feel like switching to anything else.

Bionic eyes (lasik / laser eye surgery)

Team Cyborg Implant Checking In.

I was considering adding another option for that but technically I guess that just means neither

[–] pigginz@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 9 months ago

Same. I used to do glasses, and getting to have my peripheral vision in focus too is really nice, although I guess contacts would give you that too. I was also just fed up with worrying about keeping glasses on my face doing physical activity and sports. I was a little concerned about my night vision getting compromised since I've heard of people having trouble with that post-laser but 3 years on I haven't noticed any differences yet.

What if I can't see the poll options without my glasses?

I wear both. Contacts to make myself slightly farsighted, and then use reading glasses to look at things up close.

I used to wear contacts/glasses, I was EXTREMELY near-sighted.

I had surgery a few years ago. My eyes were too bad for lasik, so I got ICL. Basically like a permanent contact implanted in my eyes. Best choice I ever made. It's been about 7 years and I have 2.0 (20/10) and 1.5 (20/15) eyesight still.

I used to wear both glasses and contact lenses, but they shot lazers into my eyeballs and now I don't need them anymore! 🤓👁️👄👁️

[–] SpaceDogs@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Technically neither, but I do wear glasses when I’m on the computer/tablet.

[–] Kirbywithwhip1987@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Contacts but I'm not telling you which color.

I use them for asthetics now, I had to because of weaker vision on one eye before I had laser surgery, but I liked them so much and figured that I can choose any color I want so I kept them.

[–] Catfish@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 9 months ago

I wear glasses but it's impossible to find anywhere that takes my medicaid nearby. If I need new glasses I have to drive 2 hours away and 2 hours back, and then still wait for them to be shipped. I was wearing glasses that had to be super glued back together like 8 times and always fell off my face when doing chores before I was able to get new ones finally recently.

I was told I should use glasses but only if I was going to drive a car at night. So of course I don't wear glasses (I'm a threat to myself and others) /j

I am glasses gang

[–] acabjones@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Contacts most of the time, glasses the rest.

[–] AlbigensianGhoul@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 9 months ago

I wear thick-rimmed glasses when walking even though my eyesight is alright, because it's a actually to block some of my peripheral vision to prevent sensory overload. So I guess I use glasses to see less.
