Megane

Recently I bought a new pair of megane as my previous pair was getting old with lots of scratches on the lens. Decided to go for a more fashionable type with the black plastic half frame. The old pair was silver metallic full frame.

I became myopic when I was in Primary 6 (6th Grade) and is now in the medium to high myopia range. Just curious, how many of you wear megane as well and for how long? ^^;

    Since I was 11, primary 5. Dammit. I also prefer half-frames nowadays.

    I should really be wearing contacts.

  3. 3 nanu 12 October 2008 at 8:41 pm

    Same. 6th grade myopia. Have tried contact lenses but disliked them; inadvertently have gotten used to the minimal protection afforded by glasses.

    no megane yet. ^^

    When I was about 7 I actually wanted glasses. Never have had a need for em though. My mother has worn contacts for most of her life and my little bro has had glasses since he was like 4.

    And LOL at the Clannad comment on my blog.

    me too! I had 6th grade myopia and just the other day got some new half frame glasses XD

    =)

    used to take my friends’ glasses and wear it in Primary6…and end up having needed to wear it since in Sec 1

    i also thinking of changing my glasses when i return to SG this Dec. :P

  9. 9 Jacques 12 October 2008 at 10:17 pm

    been wearing one since primary 3, around 9 years old.

    sigh..

  10. 10 optic 12 October 2008 at 10:19 pm

    When I was 8 years old.
    My sister is suggesting me to get contacts including my workmates. I don’t mind but glasses has always been my thing to wear. ^^
    U should get urself a pair of shades. xD

  11. 11 Sandy-kun 12 October 2008 at 10:19 pm

    I didn’t and haven’t use megane yet. But acctualy, i got myompi plus cylender eyes both of them in my both eyes as well. But i seemed to not use it coz i have likely a normal eye sight.Yeah. very normal. i still can see something in the far way without any blur. :3
    Maybe it coz of my Sharinegan? lol

  12. 12 Stifler 12 October 2008 at 10:29 pm

    I have been wearing specs my entire life. I probably already wore them the moment I was born.

  13. 13 Fariz Asuka 12 October 2008 at 11:08 pm

    I have Megane since I was 10 years old.. Now my eyes degrees are about 500+.. =(

  14. 14 yumeno 12 October 2008 at 11:35 pm

    Wore ‘em around Primary 5 when I got my 1st set of PC. Was gaming with Red Alert then. Wearing a pair megane isn’t so bad until i take photos and my lens reflects the light, even without flash. =.=

  15. 15 Divine Fang 12 October 2008 at 11:40 pm

    Megane -> That’s a very common tool for an Otaku! Hey, aren’t we otaku supposed to buy cool high-end stuff like Masaki Matsushima’s masterpieces? My brother who is a Kamen Rider Otaku got himself MF-1104 recently. (Google “rakuten Masaki Matsushima” for info)

  16. 16 shiro 13 October 2008 at 1:56 am

    Have wore megane ever since I was in Kindergarten 2 (6 years old).

  17. 17 GNdynames 13 October 2008 at 2:35 am

    I’ve been wearing glasses since the beginning of grade 6, so that’d be around seven years.

  18. 18 Ayuu 13 October 2008 at 3:31 am

    Where’d you get the small glasses for the figmas? They are the perfect size!

  19. 19 リョ Ryo 13 October 2008 at 4:04 am

    I wear it since PS1 was came out. At that time I was really addicted to video games and I could really play it all day without any break. >,<”

  20. 20 Coco the Bean 13 October 2008 at 4:08 am

    I responded on your dannychoo post but I guess I’ll say a bit more here too. ^^
    I wear my glasses if I need to to see details such as the whiteboard. But otherwise I don’t need them. Heck, I forgot my glasses during the vision screening for my driver’s permit and still passed.

  21. 21 Blowfish 13 October 2008 at 6:33 am

    Ive been wearing glasses since 5th or 6th grade.
    Ive got 3.25 and 3.75 and im no use without glasses^^

    Never even considered Contacts because i dont think i could stick something into my eyes

  22. 22 ETERNAL 13 October 2008 at 6:47 am

    Funny, I saw this on DC earlier but I didn’t realize you made a blog post about it. Anyhow, my response is pretty much the same: I’d LIKE to wear glasses, but my vision is perfectly fine without them >_>

  23. 23 malzias 13 October 2008 at 1:12 pm

    Been wearing glasses since I was 7. Too much reading and TV ^^;

  24. 24 Kippei 13 October 2008 at 2:19 pm

    I scratch mine new 1 week later and it is transition….

  25. 25 chun 13 October 2008 at 5:18 pm

    mine one side myopic one side astigmatism? been wearing it since hmmm pri 3 perhaps, can’t remember ^^; I keep breaking my plastic frames :P I like the frameless type but I also keep getting the edges chipped ;_; Otherwise I tend to try to wear my glasses as long as possible ^^;

  26. 26 FatB 13 October 2008 at 7:11 pm

    Do sunglasses count? I’m such an a$$. =P

  27. 27 phossil 13 October 2008 at 9:35 pm

    I dont use glasses, but all my friends do!!
    I tend to think all people who uses lenses have an intellectual look..

    ^_^

    @ all,
    thanks for all the comments. seems like many of us got myopia at early growing up years.

    @ k, sbhboi, Sandy-kun and ETERNAL,
    u guys are a rare breed. continuing taking good care of your eyes. ^^;

    @ Keith,
    u are coming back soon? great. welcome back. remember to eat more.

    @ Stifler,
    lol.

    @ Ayuu,
    the mini megane are from max factory’s yuki nagato figure.

    @ chun,
    astigmatism? meaning, blurness when viewing from certain angles?

    @ FatB,
    no count. lol.

  29. 29 chun 14 October 2008 at 2:49 pm

    Oh it seems to be worse if at night, and I guess to me astigmatism is kinda like blurry vision for objects afar? ^^

  30. 30 FatB 14 October 2008 at 5:46 pm

    Denied!

    Actually, I do wear glasses for nightime driving. I usually just leave them on as things are basically clearer with them.

  31. 31 andra 14 October 2008 at 6:30 pm

    wore them since primary 5… *counts fingers* .. oh! it has been 4 years! ;_; I dont dare to wear contact lens, will start crying even before putting on ^^;

    I have one blue frameless and another black full frame glasses (like those old school ones lol)

  32. 32 marvin 14 October 2008 at 10:48 pm

    I use to wear glasses and sometimes contact lenses however I had lasik surgery a few months ago so no more glasses for me. ^^

  33. 33 Q 15 October 2008 at 5:56 am

    I used to have half-frame too, but after dropping it accidently and broke the glass quite bit before a shower prompt me to get something a little more secure -_-.

  34. 34 mikiwank 15 October 2008 at 5:56 am

    I feel less alone in the world of myopic, now ^^

  35. 35 tflops 15 October 2008 at 11:37 pm

    I never used one, and hoping I won’t use one.

  36. 36 gordon 16 October 2008 at 9:23 am

    @ chun,
    but isn’t it common for objects far away to be blurry?

    @ FatB,
    wear them for range as well?

    @ andra,
    old school black frame is fashionable now.

    @ marvin,
    congrats on getting new found perfect eyesight. hope there’s no side effects.

    @ Q,
    finding a place to put my glasses during shower is always a problem for me too.

    @ mikiwank,
    you are (not) alone.

    @ tflops,
    do take good care of them.

  37. 37 Hynavian 16 October 2008 at 11:42 am

    Oh we have same taste. The megane looks like mine, except that mine is dark blue in color instead. (:
