Alexander. Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Who here wears Glasses whilst playing computer games or have you chosen to have contact lenses as an alternative? Some of may not need to wear Glasses, which of us at VGR forums has perfect vision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I don't have an eye problem or anything that would hinder my views when playing video games. Although, some would argue that the glasses would help reduce the effects of your monitor brightness on your eyes but personally, I don't stay too close to the monitor courtesy of my using wireless controllers.

The Blackangel Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) My vision is horrid. I'm so near sighted that if I don't have my glasses I have to be within 3' of anything for it to be clear. Any further away from that, and it's a complete blur. As for contacts, I can't do it. having something in my eye, drives me insane, and I end up rubbing my eye constantly to get it out. I know you're not supposed to do that, but I can't help it. Also I think glasses are cute. But one problem I do have is I'm extremely photosensitive. The majority of time I have to wear sunglasses inside my house. And when I'm out I have to wear my prescription sunglasses, as well as a second pair that fits over them, just to be able to see.

StaceyPowers Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I have clear vision to within a few inches of my face. Everything past that is a blur. I wear glasses whenever I'm awake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaynil Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) My vision is not bad. I usually tend to be the one in the group that can read the bus numbers in the distance, and I can read small print fine. That said they are not what they used to be and on my last visit to my optometrist, she said it was time I started to wear glasses. I don't have to wear them all the time, but if I am going to be staring at a screen I wear them just to be on the safe side. So right now, while I am browsing VGR using the computer, I am wearing them. 😄 While I felt my eyes were fine, using the glasses for first time, was like being a kid again. Able to see shining surfaces and texture details I hadn't even noticed had become absent. It is pretty cool.

I can see very well super up close, but very badly anywhere past a few inches away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I don't. However, some computer screens have a dark mode. Who uses it? Is it just as effective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
