My glasses have broken for, hopefully, the last time. I decided, after a near-disaster with my glasses that the time is now to get rid of them. Yay.

Wait, I thought your mommy made you get them because your face was too active or something like that. Well, anyway I think you will manage to break your contacts, in some respects they are easier to break, although most contacts don't cost more than glasses, so that is a plus.

Ah, someone finally got some contacts in the field. We're way ahead of you, as seen by the intelligence reports streaming in daily.

I got lazers pointed at my eye for surgery. It screwed up my vision because the doctor had no idea what he was supposed to be doing, but on the plus side I don't need drugs to have visions of giant red things leaping across the sky.

Mwahahahaha, I have never needed glasses. Although if you take into consideration how close I sit next to my monitor I think I will need them in 10 years, if not less.

I have hard contacts, but my eyes have been screwed up since birth. I've had contacts since I was two weeks old. My first surgery was a few days before that.

Hrm, as of yet, I have had no need of glasses/contacts, etc. I did need surgery for other minor problems though.

My glasses are incredibly stylish and serve as a shield to protect my eyes from my hair and various projectiles, so I see no reason to switch.

Well, I could have easily gone without braces, more of a convieniance than a necessity. Although, I may have some painful tearing of the flesh of my jaw if I didn't. Oh well, almost everybody in recent life has had braces, and since most people here have had braces it is still in my favor.

Everything is easy to take for granted. Like good hearing, having two arms/legs, being able to talk, etc.

I've never broken any bones (except maybe the growth plate, but that doesn't really count), never had any cavaties, nada, only eyes. I have perfect hearing though.

Yyou know what! That whole thing about your "stylish" glasses is really funny. Actually, he looks like Harry Potter without his glasses, so I say he should keep them. I like Harry Potter that's why I say that. His resemblance to him has already caused me a lot of mental damage.

Not really. Harry Potter is like seven. He doesn't have the rugged, chiseled features that I have.

Actually, I think Harry looks more like, 15 or so, I actually think he's cute. That's exactly why dude3 should keep his glasses. Also, if he grows his hair out, he will look even less like Mr. Potter. He'll look more like the shaggy dog. So, KEEP GROWING! Chizled features? Nooo comment!
