    My eyes are all kinds of f**ked up.

    Im nearsighted.

    I have Pigment Dispersion Syndrome, which is basically the pigment that gives the iris its color can break off and could clog my ducts which could lead to glaucoma and possible surgery if it gets too out of hand.

    I also suffered a scratched cornea in my left eye after getting hit by a waving rally towel at a football game.

    Finally the last eye issue I have is seasonal allergies which leads to a red, watery and itchy eye. It only affects the right eye as my left eye is completely unaffected by these allergies. Its strange.

    I'm nearsighted I have trouble seeing signs and words from far away , I don't wear glasses out on pubic but I do wear them at home . I need new glasses because my old one is broken .
    Also I learned from an eye doctor that one of my eyes has prefect vision and the other doesn't and is weaker than that eye so I need a special type of glasses and contacts to see perfectly .

    Things that are more than a foot away from me start to get blurry, but don't get really bad until 2 feet or more away. Have had it since I was 12. People say it's because of all the video games I've played but I think it's a combination of that and hereditary from my dad because he has bad eyesight too.

    I forgot the specifics. I believe I was told I had an astigmatism in my left eye, now I think it's both. I can never remember the difference between near/farsightedness.

    I wear glasses these days. I did own contacts, but since my eye prescriptions are really different (one eye is worse than the other), it can be a pain in the neck to deal with. This and I often forget I'm wearing them.

    Am I the first one here who's farsighted? I used to have really terrible vision, but it's gotten a bit better since I was a small child. I got glasses when I was 2 or 3, then bifocals at 16 when I started having classes in large lecture halls.

    I'm supposed to wear glasses, but I don't because they just give me a headache and I have trouble with them since my eyes are kinda weird.

    My left eye is severely nearsighted, to wear I can't see things across the room without blurriness, however, my right eye is the opposite, I can see amazing far away, but close up is really hard to work out cause it's blurry, but it's less severe than my other eye. With my glasses, the prescription in my left eye is stronger than my right, and I have a hard time focusing back and forth from up close objects to far away ones and it causes me a head ache, but I can see pretty much normally without my glasses, and can adjust far away to close up with no problem.

    Nearsighted, but not worsening. Even so, I have to wear glasses all day.

    I have astigma but insurance doesn't cover lenses and hey, I've got more important things than stuff being a little less blurry.

    I have a lazy eye, which sometimes interferes with conversations. It's patronizing when people ask "Are you looking at me or over there?" Rude ba******!

    Wearing glasses helps align them better, but I don't really need them otherwise (no sight problems).

    I have strabismus, the left eye goes outwards. People are irritating about it.
    Lenses don't correct mine though.
    It does let you know who's the jerks before you get to attached.

    Kind of nearsighted, but my eyes aren't that bad.
