Should you be wearing glasses?

I often wonder this about other people and if they are as stubborn as I am when it comes to these things! Growing up, I was diagnosed with a "lazy eye". I had to wear a crazy looking black patch over the strong eye so that the weak eye could improve. I absolutely HATED wearing it because I looked like a PIRATE! I started wearing glasses at a very early age too and pretty much complied because my parents made me. Since that time (and now, many years later), I slowly stopped wearing glasses all together. I even went and got fitted for contacts (and only had to wear ONE in the "lazy eye"). I stopped wearing that too. I don't know why I stopped, but I did. I guess if I were totally blind or had a hard time seeing, I would be forced wear them, I would. Since I am able to see pretty good (but with lots of headaches at times), I just don't make it a priority. What about YOU? Are you supposed to be wearing glasses or contacts but just don't for some reason? Or are you faithful in wearing them because you have no choice and can't see any other way???
