I have been a contact lens wearer for about 11 years now. Most people wear soft contact lenses but I wear a less common type called RGP (Rigid Gas Permeable). They are not as comfortable as soft lenses (I had to go through a week or two long adjustment period when I started wearing them) but they have several advantages.

One is that they give me better eyesight than soft contacts, because the harder lens actually reshapes my cornea and holds it in place. I once tried soft contacts and only lasted a few days before I went back to RGP. Another advantage is that lenses have microscopic pores that let air through to your eyes, making them healthier. And then there is the price - about $50 dollars a lens, and they last for a year! The solution is more expensive though - about $9 for a little bottle, but it does last for almost 2 weeks.

1.75 on one eye and -1.25 on the other,I have excellent night vision as long as there aren't any super bright artificial light sources aimed directly at me...like car headlights.

I have photophobia,too much light enters my eyes.

I like wearing my glasses even though I hated them at first.

I'm 30, and have been short sighted since about 7-8 years old. I'm -4.25 in both eyes and have been wearing contacts since I was 16.

I wish I had perfect eyesight. I would love to get them lasered if I had the cash.

After reading about it I think I have that too although I have not been diagnosed for it hehe..

-5.25 & -4.75, although I can tell I'm due for a stronger prescription next time around. My poor night vision is what really gets me though. I avoid driving at night if possible, and if it's raining as well, forget about it. I wear glasses and have since I was about 7. I'd love to get laser correction someday if I could afford it!

lol last night was rainy and dark and I didn't have my glasses plus my wipers are shite, it was hell getting back home from my friend's.

32 here and one eye at -1.75 , other at -2 last time I checked. Haven't found one eyelense that I can stand for more than some hours.

I see perfectly. With both eyes. And looking around, also reading the replies here, I do feel that there aren't many of my kind anymore...

[swwatch]

i think im -2.5 in both. i ear contacts.

this last week i haven't been able to get my right eye to focus though. it can if i close my left, but its just being lazy if the left is open too. lol
