I wear contacts to school and out in public, but when I stay at home oever the weekends or w/e, I just use glasses.
Vision = 150/20 and 175/20

i got contacts nearly a year ago.
pretty handy, cause i never used to like wearing glasses.
i really only need them for distances.

Same here. I'm not as self-confident as I would like to be in public, so wearing glasses was always a fight for me.
I wore contact lenses for a year and half and just 3 or 4 months ago one of them started hurting my eye, so I started wearing glasses in public again.
I think glasses played a major role in my complexes.

I wore glasses from 7-9 grade.
I now wear contacts since I got my hair cut a week before school started.

I agree. My dad says he'll get me it when I'm older. I can't wait.

I'm wearing my glasses right now because (like Tom said) I never put them on in weekends when I stay at home. Most of the time I'm using contacts but I always keep my glasses incase something happens and I need them for some reason.

I've got contacts. I used to wear glasses when I was 10 up until I was 15, then I switched to contacts. I hated glasses because I'd always get mine knocked off as a kid when I played sports and they've get all bent out of whack and not fit properly anymore and they were just a pain. Contacts made that much easier.
I wouldn't mind laser eye surgery in the future though.

i don't wear glasses or contacts, but my vision is not perfect. in fact, in driver's training when we had to do the vision test, i winged it and got it perfect. i could hardly make out the letters, but i had to do it fast so they wouldn't put anything on my license etc.. my vision isn't bad, but it's not perfect. and glasses would be a waste of money because the lenses would be really thin.
sooo, ya. i guess i can't participate in the poll.

I prefer contacts and wear them most of the time in public and school and such, but towards the end of the day they start to blur my eyes so I usually wear my glasses when I'm at home at night.
