Who here wears glasses or contacts? I wear glasses. My eyes are pretty sensitve, so contacts are out of the question. Anyone here have 20/20?

I'm lucky, last time they were checked, they ranged from 20/13 to 20/17 depending on which eye, and near or far.

I have always had 20/20 vision - that is until I got older! Now I need glasses for close up work so I have tri-focals - one lense for reading, one for working on the computer and clear glass for distance. It happens to everyone around 45 years of age so get ready!

I had 20/5 vision then I developed astigmatism and presbyopia around 40. I now wear trifocals.

I had terrible eye sight!
Being that -2600 is blind and I had -700 right and -675 left for eyesight goes to show you how bad my eyes were. Key word there is were! I had the Lasics wave front procedure done on both eyes. First one then the other. It's been about 4 months now and my vision is 20/20. No side effects or problems, just perfect eye sight. Best investment I ever made. My only regret is that I waited so long to do it!

Glasses most of the time, but I wear contacts when I'm either on the ice playing hockey or on my bicycle climbing hills.

I can't get contacts even if I wanted them (they won't work with my eyes), so I wear glasses. Besides, contacts are far too much maintenance for me... glasses are the way to go.
