because i have to wear glasses to see i know some of you are gonna say i'm being wimpy, but that's how it makes me feel: defective i mean, i have to wear these bits of plastic and metal so that i can see my world i have to keep adjusting them all the time, i have to clean them when i go to sleep i have to take them off, and in the morning i have to put them back on again that makes me feel a bit vulnerable anyone else feel like this or is it just me? |

When I was a hatchling someone fucked a badminton racket over my face. It scraped the plastic of my glasses bad but if I wasn't wearing them I'm sure I'd have lost an eye. This dragon wears glasses. |

i don't feel like that because i don't wear glasses... but i can imagine it. I would probably feel the same. My mother wears a hearing-aid (is that how you say it in english?... a little device to allow you to hear better). And she says without it she can't even hear her own footsteps. Every night when she goes to bed she has to take it out, and she feels exactly like you described. Ofcourse it's wonderful all these things were invented to allow you to live a normal life... but still i imagine it would feel a little scary to realise your body has a defect and needs help... something like that. |

I feel odd when I take them off, I hate wind in my eyes as I'm used to them being protected. I have prescription shades I wear a lot but I can't indoors as I'd look like a poser. I have darkness around my eyes and I've been told I look psycho without my glasses on. |

i wear glasses to read/tv etc and should really wear them all the time but i quite enjoy living in a fuzzy world... i notice sound a lot more and have a kind of 6th sense thing going on cos i don´t rely on the old glassies. When i´m biking at 45mph to squareopusher in rushhour traffic, i´m on a different, non-visual plane of existense! 2 crashes in 16 years daily city cycling....... fuck em! |

Can I just add; if anyone sees a crazy ginger bloke cycling through Dublin like a maniac, mowing down grannies, we know who it is. |

i wear em all day except when sleeping and thats when its night and dark, so if i take them off during the day its always a shock to realise how bad my eyes really are.... |

What I don't get is who defines what is good eyesight and bad eyesight? Maybe people who need to wear glasses are really seeing the world as it is designed to be seen. Maybe the people with 20-20 vision are seeing a distorted hyper-real version of reality. It would sure make things easier if things were slightly blurry. Women would seem more attractive and I could look in the mirror without wanting to smash it. |

I wear glasses (wearing 'em right now, look), but only when using the computer / watching TV / driving a car or just want to see something that isn't under my nose. I like living in a miopic world most of the time, although in can cause problems when you don't recognise someone coming towards until the last minute. I don't wear them when riding my bike, but then I can see well enough to do that. I find that you get better at interpreting other visual clues, for instance I can identify most people from a distance by the way they walk (like the way you can recognise people by the sound they make walking up the stairs). And when I do occasionally put my glasses on outdoors (rarely), things like sunsets and landscapes take on a totally different quality now that they are pin-sharp. If I saw them that way the whole time, I think that they would lose that impact. Just my thoughts on the matter. |

i can't ever decipher a persons face from far away but i can usually know by the shape of their body and the way they walk. you do tend to notice a lot more when you're partially blind. i want to be like kenshi on MKDA |

"Women would seem more attractive and I could look in the mirror without wanting to smash it. " Yes, I've often thought being slightly short sighted was quite cool. Built in soft focus effect. All these graphics cards with full screen anti-aliasing. I've had it for years (apart from when I'm close to things...)! I only wear glasses for reading off white boards, but really I should wear them for watching TV etc. |

I need glasses now, probably from the years and years of masturbation. If I sit at the back of class like I used to, I have to squint to read boards and stuff. I love glasses though, they give me something to play with when I'm bored and they always make you look smarter. |

i have defective eyes needing glasses too (but that doesn't bother me)... my defective teeth had to make me suffer orthodontics (i swear it did hurt me)... i think my brain is a bit defective too, my 9th finger has started getting me like little static electricity discharges (i don't know what's up with this finger?!) and it hurts me when i'm on the keyboard, my left knee is badly shaped so it has a natural tendency to make sprains, and probably a lot of other things of me are defective too. but that doesn't matter a lot to me. a lot of people have much, much worse. we're all defective somewhat. visual unability to see the world? yes... but no one sees the world as it really is. not only speaking about the vision. every sense. and what we call the "mind". i think there is something good about this defectiveness... maybe it's what allow us to dream and to enjoy. |

From the Guardian: "To be able to choose between two different ways of seeing the world is a strange luxury. Without glasses, the business of living is a softer affair. The short-sighted person has to guess at shape and form, filling in details from either memory or dream. But as soon as spectacles are worn, everything becomes clearer, sharper, larger, rounder and louder. Distance is thrown into focus, sometimes unbearably so. This may sound precious, but there is a strange paradox about the condition. A short-sighted person wants to examine things close up, to look at life with all its flaws, and yet, at the same time, to hold it at a distance. If I was making a film about the condition, it would be filled with close ups without glasses, and long shots with spectacles. There would be no mid-shots - like a photographer only using a wide-angle or a close-up lens." |

My right eye is crap, always has been. If I want to read this text with just that eye I have to get to about five inches away before I can see anything. There's some damage to the muscles that work the left eye too so that if I look down my nose I get double-vision. While these things don't bother me now, I do sometimes worry if it makes it more likely my eyesight will deteriorate further in later life. I wouldn't say I feel defective though, everyone has something wrong with them so I guess you could say defective is the norm. |
