That's part of why I got contacts too, for field hockey. And also like you, I don't remember ever seeing without glasses, even though I was a teenager when I first started wearing them. My glasses broke a while ago and my husband had to guide me around the mall we were in, because I couldn't see anything properly unless it was right up close to me. It was awful.

Been wearing glasses since elementary school...granny glasses at that! At around my junior year in high school I had to ask for contact lenses because I was in a dancing activity and my glasses were flying off when I was doing some crazy stunt or something. So yeah...been blind as a bat for a long time!

Lost my vision during high school. In my first year of high school (I think) a public health nurse came and tested the vision of everyone in my year. I had 20/20 vision. A year later, when I was nearly 15 I think, I was in biology class and suddenly realised I couldn't read the blackboard properly. So off to the optometrist with me LOL! So I lost my vision, or have been gradually losing it I guess, for 10 years (I'm 25 in october). What about you??

| | | Becks wrote: | | Nah, having to take them out isn't a big deal, I just took what was prescribed to me haha! I'm the same, it feels so bizarre being able to see without wearing glasses! When I first got my contacts, I seriously almost cried cos it was the first time in years I could see without glasses.

I wear my contact lenses about...hmmm... 40% of the time. In those few times I do wear them, I feel like touching the part of my face that my glasses would normally occupy just to make sure I'm not hallucinating! Plus I have those moments when I feel like running my finger up the bridge of my nose to push up an invisible pair of glasses! 
See ya later, Guido!! Viel Glueck (good luck)!!

Awesome Guido I use contacts 99% of the time, with mine each pair lasts two weeks, but I sleep with them in and have 1 rest day a week where I wear my glasses. Only thing I hate with contacts is when you get a bit of dust or a tiny hair on the inside of them, big OUCH! lol. Doesn't happen often though, most of the time you don't realise you're wearing them.
