I started wearing glasses when I was 5....I'm a mother fucking expert at being blind.

Never heard of online stores. I've always just gone to the optometrist and ordered frames and lenses from them.

I never knew there was so much to think about.

And about the surgery...not everyone cares that much. I get new glasses every 8 years now and my contacts are $23 a box and last 6 months. I like wearing contacts. I've been doing it for 16 years and it feels wrong not to have them in. My glasses are several hundred dollars but that's because I do wear coke bottles. I have to get all this special shit done to make them look normal and they are still coke bottles. Not a big concern of mine. I do like getting into, "My eyes are worse than yours" debates. I've never lost once. Or won...however you want to look at it.

So if glasses are still super thick, are contacts as well?

Yeah they are apparently. I've never worn anyone else's contacts so I don't have anything to compare it to.

Not that I notice. My optometrist wants me to wear my glasses more, but she knows that as blind as I am, I can't really drive with my glasses and I certainly can't drive at night. So, I try to take them out if I am going to be home for the night. Only time I notice them being super dry is if I fall asleep or cry a lot.

Ed, I am blind as a bat, well not as blind as Heather

I got a pair of oakleys at sams club with everything on it, super thin lenses, anti glare, polished sides, yada yada for $220.

I would like to get surgery but I am too scared to do it and glasses/contacts dont' bother me.

I tried on a pair of the polo black rimmed nerdy-chic glasses so I could be all stylish while I go act important at starbucks with my macbook. But alas... I am not cool enough for black rimmed glasses....
