Remember some proper jam jar giggs when i was at school. :razz:

 

The elastoplast over the lense was to cure lazy eyes wasnt it? It was put over the good eye so that the muscles behind the lazy one were forced to be used more and develop. Or so I heard.

I wear lenses. Didn't need glasses at all until I started work and was staring at a screen all day. Wear glasses at home watching the telly and that, and lenses out, to the match, to work etc. Haven't got my lenses in today cos I'm knackered and they just make you feel even more tired. :razz:

I'm a specky four eyes.. have been since I was about 7. I wore lenses for a bit when I used to play football but only when I was actually on the pitch, other than that I've always wore glasses. I've considered lenses/laser surgery but I'd feel naked without glasses. :razz:

I wear glasses because my mum said they made me look handsome and all the girls would like me.

 

Now i'm a socially bereft overweight 32 year old who masturbates to goat porn.

I reckon I'm becoming short sighted as I get older - I tried someone elses glasses on in the cinema and everything looked more focussed.

Mind you, there's nothing more business-like than popping your specs on your head to read a document, makes you look geet busy. That and removing your glasses altogether and rubbing the bridge of your nose with both hands. Gives the impression you've done a wealth of work. It's my sole tactic in getting a pay rise each year.

That and lots of paper on the desk. I've lost count of the number of times I've been on here all day with a load of papers strewn across the desk and someone's popped their head in and said "Oh. I'll not bother you with this, you look busy" as I'm sat reading the board. :razz:

20/20 is on the american system.

 

If you're from this country and you've got perfect vision you are 6/5

Never heard of the 6/5 thing tbh. always known perfect vision as being 20/20.

It's a common misconception. Our system is metric (distance from the test chart measured in metres, lens power in dioptres) so I presume they must use an imperial system. The '6' in ours refers to metres from the chart so I'd take a guess that maybe an american testing distance is 20 feet.

The last time I was with the optometrist he told me "better than 20/20", that was in Ireland, but we seem to use mostly UK systems.
