I need glasses... My long distance vision is pretty bad, although I don't really need them since I have been doing fine this way for a long time. The only time it becomes a bother is when I am trying to find an address and I don't see what the streetsigns say until I am already passing them.
I tried a trial pair of contacts once... I couldnt believe how much better I could see, but I couldnt get over the fact that I was constantly aware there was something in my eyes. I know after awhile you get used to it, but still.
Does your vision gets worse without getting correctional eye wear, or is it the other way around? I've heard both stories.
