I've had glasses since I was 13. I can't remember my exact prescription -3.75 or something like that. The lenses are pretty thick, even on small frames. I'm not comfortable trying contact lenses because I have an eye inflammation problem that I had to have medication for and could return any time, so I put up with the glasses. Thankfully they are fairly fashionable these days, lol, unlike in the past.

Incidentally, my prescription has changed very little from when I was about 18-20: about the same time my other problems improved aswell. I wouldn't be surprised if my vision is related to mercury toxicity.
