ive always worn glasses and broken a lot of pairs.

well i also have astigmatism and i was wondering if anybody has it and went to contact lenses like it a lot better or went back to glasses.

I have the same thing with my eyes, and used to wear toric entended wear contacts. But, sadly, they stopped making them due to too many dumb a$$ people getting eye infections, and such. Now, they only have the daily wear for us folks with astigmatisms.

Guys that pass passes at girls that wear glasses are usually classless, and show us all that they're a$$es.

Four-Eyes RULE !!

I don't know about the astigmatism, but I have worn contacts since I was 16 and I love them. My problem is now that I need reading glasses or bifocals. I wonder if they make contacts for that? Bifocal contacts? Not sure how that would work.

but i think the right style of glasses make a woman look irresistable.

A lot of men do find glasses sooo sexy!!

I'm afraid to put contacts on my eyeballs!!

well mine are leopard skin print lol but i want to be able to wear sunglasses ive got a white pair with rhinestone i want to wear soo badly

how about one contact and a monocle ? then you get the best of both worlds....

I have two pairs of prescription sunglasses. They cost me about 100 bucks each at america's best. Four eyes also has cheap deals. You might be able to go in with the frames you have, and hook them up with some 'script lenses. It's worth a shot.

nah i dont want to add to my glasses they are a plastic frame and they kinda drive me nuts being plastic

As for bifocals I was told I could wear one strength contact in one eye, and a different strength in the other eye and it's just like bifocals. It has worked for me.

Really? I'll have to look into it. I don't mind reading glasses. I keep pairs all over so I always them when I need them. The only thing I won't do is wear them hanging around my neck. I'm NOT going there!

I have a stigmatism in both eyes.I started wearing contacts about ten months ago.Love them.Wish I had done it before.
They do make them with bifocals,but not for people with stigmatisms.They also run about 700.00 get. So not many people do that.
And your right (S/B).Lots of cool shades out there.

i love rockin my leopard print frames..i was told that the astigmatism contacts cost the same thing as regular contacts is this true?

I find men in glasses yummy!

i've had a stigmatism since i was 8. Always worn glasses and always will. Touching my eyeballs... No contacts for me.

lol that doesnt bother me,i want to make sure im not gonna pay all this money for these contacts and for them to not work!lol

Oh, the woes of bad eyesight!

I'm blind as a bat, have horrid depth perception, extremely light sensitive, am night blind, AND have astigmatism in both eyes.

I've worn contacts for about 20 years now. I give my eyes a rest from them about once a month, and wear my glasses for a few days (which I hate wearing)! I'm definitely not one who looks "posh" in glasses...unfortunately.

If you don't want to go the route of contacts, you could certainly get the prescription glasses that easily turn into sunglasses when you go outside. I had a pair once...and LOVED them!

Hmmm...I did try the bifocal contacts last year (and they only cost me slightly more than the regular ones, even with my astigmatism), but I didn't like them at all. I felt very dizzy, which in turn made me feel sick to my tummy all the time.

I've gone for two consultations for the Lasik surgery...been told I'm a good candidate for it...but, I'm too chicken to have it done! Maybe some day.

Until then, I'll just stick with what works for me right now.

I have both contacts and specs, and also have astigmatism, high five! Ha ha.

I wear both, depends on what I'm doing, eg nights out mean contacts are so much easier.

The only thing is, as someone else said, they're only daily wear ones (I use Johnsons Acuvue toric ones) and they can be expensive (I paid £30 a month for 30 single lenses x 2)but if you're able to get them online they work out so much cheaper.

Hope that helps!

Also, guys in glasses = hoooot :D

Never could get contacts...they kept trying to stick that big machine into my eye and I kept thinking that all they needed to do was sneeze and there goes my eye...and I wouldn't be able to eat it...

Yes they do.I was refering to geting bifocals added to them.
