Yep, in the sixth grade I coudn't see the darn white board. This was odd because I usually had better eys site than most people.

Although I've been doing eye exercises, they actually work pretty good and my eye vision is kind of better from the seventh grade. Still, there bad.

A year and a half ago, I thought I was going blind. It was just untreated diabetes. Sugar crystallizes in the eyes when your blood sugar is too high too long. Now my glasses are about useless. Not quite however.

Is that the camera lens, or are you just totally funky with those glasses? lol Meganekko! I think you look just fine.
Have Fun

Apparently I'm near-sighted and I have astigmatism in my right eye.
Damn you eyes. Damn you.

I would be interested in trying your eye exercises, if you were comfortable to share how to do them.

In second or third grade I developed double astigmatisms in each eye, and come to think of it, I noticed by not seeing the chalkboard too. I am now the proud owner of the worst vision in my circle of family and friends :). Only a few more years till it stabilizes, though, and surgery becomes optional...

Anyway, welcome to the club :)

EDIT:
whats astigmatism?

Astigmatism is where the front of your eye becomes shaped as if someone is pinching it. You can imagine, it sort of messes up the lens :)

I translated into Spanish the explanations of doctors at an eye clinic for 7 years. So here's what I remember: To be a little more specific while remaining simple enough to grok, astigmatism means that the curvature of a cornea or lens is other than perfectly spherical, resulting in vision that is blurry because light is refracting differently, which can sometimes cause headaches. It's amazingly common and can change over time, both in the amount and in the axis (which part of the lens or cornea is bending light oddly).

when my work was about to cancel my iunsurance I went and had my eyes checked and he said I have very slight near sightness
when I asked how slight this was the responce
"I'll write you a perscription, but more for a couple of years from now, for now only use them for driving at night in places you don't know, so you can read the street signs well,  though with your type it means when your 50 you wont need reading glasses like most people"

I don't exactly know how that works out....

Well, mainly you just close your eyes and move them making shapes. Triangles, circles, squares, etc....Do this while your young or it won't affect you much. Plus you need to give it some time also. I do it randomly in school at least once each period.

Glasses club  8)
Haha.
I used to hate my glasses when I first started using them in middle school and high school. I also have astigmatism but in both eyes. The sun really gets to me (I almost feel like a vampire lol). Now I really appreciate my glasses. They're also good for hiding dark circles under my eyes that I can't seem to cover up XD

I hated wearing glasses so I got contacts fairly early on...been wearing them since lol. Glasses are just too expensive & take to much abuse.

Yup. I had perfect eye sight till around somewhere mid high school. Kept putting it off and off, but now I'm grateful for my glasses, especially when driving.

I don't know why people think glasses aren't cool.


Glasses are awesome! If I get any I wanna get one of those 80's ones like NAPOLEON DYNOMITE.
