Has finally left me short sighted!

So now I've got some glasses \o/

I'm not really sure that looking at screens does have that effect. my eyes started going south when I was about 7 or 8 and stopped changing at 16ish. They've never changed since and I spend all day every day looking at screens.

Glasses look good though, they suit you

Armani glasses eh.. don't do things by halves

They look nice, shame you don't really get to see them unless you've got them on

People with glasses officially rock more than most.

They suit you dude

yeah i wasn't sure if it did or not, but the optician said that considering i'm 22 theres no other explanation as to why i'd be short sighted already. He said that concentrating on this close by, i.e. writing/reading and computer use for so long has caused it. because my eyes have been concentrated on things close by for so long that now they have trouble focusing on distant things

ha, lies. I can't really wear contacts cose i don't need to wear them all the time so its nice to be able to take em off whenever i don't need em

and thanks for the 'suits you sir'... so far everyones said that so my fears of choosing a pair that look crap was unfounded \o/

They look really cool mate - Suit you sir!

I've been quite lucky. 22+ plus years in front of a VDU and I only need glasses for when they feel tired. I guess it comes down to always having my eyes shut anyway
