i dont, but im wondering how many of us do. i'd expect many hardcore gamers to cus ur staring at a computer screen with tiny pixels for like 20 hrs a day, so it kinda hard not to get bad eyes...post if you do and how bad they are, and if its not cus of gaming then pls post why =)

EDIT: move this if you want mods, i guess it kinda in wrong sectoin. but it is relevant to the gaming community...

i do, but i lost them

Only when I'm sitting in a classroom (blackboard) or driving. Otherwise if I'm just walking around or whatever, I don't need them.

I think I'm -1.75 or something along that.

cools. oh and add how many hrs u play a day cus thats relevant too. if you play like 1 hr than obviously you wont have bad eyes unless its inherited

I started wearing glasses in 3rd grade. Everything went downhill from there. Started wearing contacts in my junior year of high school. Without my contacts I'm blind as a bat.

This is my vision without Glasses

I don't need glasses or contacts.

All I need is these shadez cuz I'm that cool.

i would need reading glasses eventually. i have to almost
completely close my eyes sometimes to see small texts

ok that sounds weird but what i do is make the shape of
my eyes different by pushing my eye lids together.

i had lenses when i was 16 or 17 or something but i never
wore them i was too lazy. tried both soft and hard lenses
but was not my thing

for driving, walking around, going out, etc. i dont need them
and gaming doesnt effect my eyes in any way since i train
my eyes for looking at screens at work already

lols chawt

that 'someone' in ur sig...

First thing that popped into my head when you said that is:

Don't need contacts/glasses and im suprised i havn't screwed up my eye signt yet for all the gaming i play. Yet agan im also suprised i havn't screwed up my hearing yet as well from the shows i go to and how loud i blast my headphones.

Also this is very offtopic, but i must say thats one awesome sig stallowned.

LOLs. nice img even though that wasnt the first thing that poped into my head...

Started wearing glasses to see the blackboard in school from the back of the room... When I was around 12? I think. I used to read ALL the time. Big eye strain. By high school I had my glasses on all the time instead of just some of the time. I don't mind them and I don't want contacts. I've been told by more than one person I look better without them but I say I'm really really ridiculously good-looking either way.

i wear glasses. it wasn't inherited. it wasn't caused by gaming either, because i didn't game at that time.

caused by that ..... school whiteboard.

same case, but i was told i am 175 tho, probably caused by staring at monitor all day long, gonna save up and get laser eye surgery, glasses sux

20/15.

Hax.

yeah they are. but laser eye surgery has counter effects...i'm not trying to make you feel bad or anything but thats the truth

Eh, the pros outweight the cons.

yeah, perhaps

and what did you mean by 20/15 hax? i dint rlly get it

I have 20/15 vision.

Which is better than 20/20, I think.

Anyway, here is a dutch eye doctor for you: http://www.mdsupport.org/library/acuity.html

wow, 20/15? :O

The thing with my astigmatism is when I leave my glasses off for extended periods of time, it sortof corrects itself. So my vision would probably be better if I didn't always have glasses on. But since it's so bad at first without them, I just leave em on.

The poll needs an option to represent the those who are pulling a Clark Kent and do not need glasses but wear them anyway.

Lol that was cool.

I'm near sighted, my vision sucks, and I HATE glasses, therefor I choose to wear contacts.

im also wearing glasses. deadly in close quarter. long range pfff i suck. use them when i go out, because if i dont it makes me sleepy watching blur

used it after i graduated college because thats the time ive notice that my visions blurry from afar.

i dont really need glasses....only after i play sports cuz i think the sweat in my eys or sumfin lol cant even read my watch but after a while it goes back to normal

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

i have the sexyest glasses possible

when my friend first came from guyana he had harry potter sized glasses XD

theres this guy in my gym class, omg its the funnyest thing his glasses dont look that thick but he when he puts it on he looks like BUBBLES from the Trailer Park Boys!

ewww my god ur sig...
