Sometimes I go a bit blurry but most of the time I see too much.<BR/><BR/>Now on to the question I ask EVERYONE with glasses, and tell me if I have asked you before, but what does 20/40 mean? That's what they told me I was in high school.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014351759393921274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14065816.post-32078991964942077012008-08-10T15:33:00.000-05:002008-08-10T15:33:00.000-05:00I've had contacts since I was 12. :-( I had the dr...I've had contacts since I was 12. :-( I had the dreaded National Health Turtle shell glasses for a couple of months before the contacts arrived and that was hell.<BR/><BR/>My sister is a qualified opthamologist (or something equally difficult to pronounce and spell) and she finally says that it is a good idea to have the laser eye work done.

I've had so much abuse for not staying longer and visiting peoples :S Sadly time and monies didn't allow it, next year i am intending coming back for an NFL game/maria visit and a visit to the South though!<BR/><BR/>I did used to do a lot of Karate which was not good for my spectamacles but at the time it would have cost me about £35 (about 65 bucks) every month to have contacts, it would have been cheaper to replace my glasses every 6 months lol! Now I am a layabout slob, they last longer :DMattJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08801624454432641644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14065816.post-84359299370914278332008-08-07T17:52:00.000-05:002008-08-07T17:52:00.000-05:00Matt has apparently never attempted to do any acti...Matt has apparently never attempted to do any activity that requires sweating or turning yourself upside down in glasses. Then he would be extolling the virtues of going face-propless.<BR/><BR/>Still got love for you, Matt, but you didn't come visit while you were in North America, so poo on you.Miss Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831133768123027451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14065816.post-1513160881565341092008-08-07T12:13:00.000-05:002008-08-07T12:13:00.000-05:00Please,contacts are so last century!

Glasses are both cool and funky, I currently have about 5 pairs (3 of which I don't use because they are currently out of fashion) and have been tempted by at least another 2!<BR/><BR/>Glasses look funky as hell, so get those coke bottles back on and laugh at those unfortunate enough not to wear the face props! :D<BR/><BR/>I hate contacts, I have an astygmatism too but have no intention of jabbing myself in the eye everyday and lasers are for Death Robots - any fool knows that! :DMattJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08801624454432641644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14065816.post-71295014162360660922008-08-07T10:10:00.000-05:002008-08-07T10:10:00.000-05:00Poor you!
