When did you had your first eye glasses?

I had eye glasses since I was 12 years old. They are very annoying so recently I have switched to contacts and have loved them since. I find glasses to be annoying at times having to take them off for certain things and whatnot.

I think I was around 8 or 9 when I was prescribed my first pair of reading glasses. At that time I really wanted glasses really bad so I think I faked not being able to read the letters just to get the glasses. I was diagnosed as being far sighted and had to wear them only for reading. Then later when I was in my teens I took the test for real and had 20/20 vision. Then later in life I actually had opposite stigmatisms (where one eye is near and one eye is far) .. so I guess I didn't have to fake it from the get go. I always wondered if wearing glasses that I really didn't need back when I was a child actually affected my current vision now.

i had mine when i was in grade school. maybe grade 3. uhmm..maybe 11 years old..but now, i am not wearing any...i find it a little difficult to read words but i can still handle it. i am also scared to wear contact lenses...have you tried it?

I've been wearing glasses my whole life almost. I got my first glasses when I was nine. I am now thirty-three. I hated the fact that I had to wear them, but I got used to them pretty quickly. I don't like my glasses all that much. I wish I had contacts but my insurance won't pay for them and I don't want to shell out the 200 dollars they would cost.

I am 22 and I had my first eye glasses when I was 18.

I also read junior high school when wearing glasses,and has been wearing to the present.May be due to the reason used to,coupled with regular reading ,so I wear almost every minute.

i dont wear one but ny niece of 10years had to wear one as she is nearsighted and she has to wear it all the time and can remove it only when she is sleeping.it is pretty irritating for her and it causes indentations on the nose.

i had my first eye glasses when i was 13 years old, the funny thing was my parents didn't believe me when i told them that my vision was starting to get blurry. They thought that i was just envious of my sister who had glasses that time. i convinced my dad to let me see an opthalmologist and to their surprise, i had a grade of 150 on both eyes.

I had my glasses wen i was 15 .. Actually it was odd for me to wear glasses .. N it still is. Its like looking the work through a pair of WINDOWS! Ha ha.. I never will get used to it cuz it jus doesn give me a complete vision area as much as a naked eye can see.. I do ve my glasses now but only wear it wen its very necessary..like watching tv whic i obviously cant without wearing.. Otherwise i usually don use it thou m advised to! :P

I have my first glasses when I was in junior school,and I was 13 years old.At that time,I just whached too much TV at a unreasonable close distance and was indulged in eleltrical game,which makes my eyes become poor and I was not able to recognize the words on the blackboard.I remembered that my dad brought me to take glasses for me.Surprisingly,my condition was bad and at first the degree of my glasses was quite high(more than 350degree).Fortunately,the glasses helped me see the world clearly and I did not drop behind in my study.Now I have glasses more than 10 years and my degree have increased to more than 600 degree.You know,I can not leave the glasses now.

Hey,friend.I have been wore glasses for 6 years since I was in middle school.It is inconvenient for me in daily life I think.I always forget where I put it after I put off it.Sometimes I put it on the bed,then I will sit on it carelessly.I have destroyed several glasses due to carelessness.And now I'm still wearing glasses.

i've got my first eye glasses when i was 19 years old some of my friends said that its too early to your eye glasses lolz but i dont have a choice..

I had my first eye glasses when I was 14 yrs old. Actually it was one of the eye glasses that my mom have used before (the size/shape is like a sunglasses super big for me) but when i used/wear it,i notices that i can see more clearly than before. Then when I mentioned it to my mom she said that I should go see an optalmologist to check my eyes. At first it was just fine because I can see more clearly but as the years go by my eyes grade have been increasing. As soon as i wake up in the morning the first thing that I do is wear my eye glasses. I am so helpless without it... But the good news about it, is my eyes are protected in sore eyes and the like during summertime. I was advised to have a check up on my eyes every 6months and with that span my eyes grade was enormously increasing for about 25, so in one year at least an increase of 50 on my glasses. Normal I change my glasses when its grade have increase to 50 because my doctor said that the 25 is within the normal range. I have to change my glasses for my eyes not to be stress (having difficulties in reading clearly because I cant see things/people clearly).

I've been wearing eyeglasses since I was 12, and yes, I'm still wearing one. But I wear contact lens at special occasions. I'm nearsighted, so I'm most comfortable when I wear eyeglasses to see things. Otherwise, things and people are blurry to me.

I'm 34yrs old and I wore glasses before but that was when I hadnt had my eye surgery yet. It was kinda annoying sometimes but I got used to it but this is much better since I dont have to wear and carry glasses anymore.

I got my first pair when I was in first or second grade, so that would have made me 7 or 8 years old. Yes, I still have to wear them. My eyes seem to get worse every time I have them checked.

I was in second grade, so I was about 8. I have 20/20 vision now. It was just a bout of lazy eyes. I'll probably start using reading glasses sometime in the future. My eyesight is still excellent, but I do feel some strain now.

no. though the degree has not increased but i have borken several eye glasses already. one time i put it on the chair and i forget that so i sit on it and broken it. another time is put it on the bed and i sit on it again. again i borken one another pair of glasses. now i remember to put it on the glasses pocket to escape any borken any more.

I had first one when I graduated from college.now I have been wearing the galsses since then.

I think I started to wear glasses when I was 17. I noticed that I can't see the things that is far from me. I'm nearsighted at times when I'm was in shcool I couldn't read what's the lecture on the whiteboard. I decided to go to the optometrist to resolve the problem with my eyes. Sometimes it is uncomfortable to wear it is bothering me all the time. I think I inherited my weak vision to my mother she is farsighted.
