I use glasses. I am + 4.5 or so on both eyes. I find it much better to play with glasses than without (of course) I've tried lenses too, but when it comes to elma you don't blink ur eyes often watching a screen. therefore eyes get dry. So I use glasses.

Btw, When I play football I don't use lenses or glasses. I guess I've gotten used to it since I was little :)

I wear glasses, although I see perfect without them. Well, I see perfect with my left eye, but my right eye has a very bad eyesight, and therefore my left eye has become dominant. Without glasses my right eye only gets worse, so that's why I wear glasses.

I do have glasses too, -4. Wioth lenses you get dry eyes like jalli said. I think people who train there fingertiming are better in elma. So you should play piano or gitar or more computergaming.

Glasses or lenses don´t work for me cos I have this weird ´disease´ called keratokonus or something like that and makes my keratincornea :roll:

My eye-sight is not so good but I´m not blind as a bat....
I already had a surgery for my left eye but it still sucks....doesn´t really matter, haven´t seen shit with it in 10 years.

I use lenses; -2.75 on the left and -1.75 on the right. I only wear glasses these days if my eyes are sore or I don't have too many lenses left before I get new ones.

I believe I play better with lenses than without, since I see more...but I dunno..I haven't really played any without lenses/glasses for a looong time :roll:

Maybe you have what's called "red/green color blindness".

I know how to explain, since we suffers from exactly the same disorder (yes we are closely blood-related, we inherited our colour-blindness from our grandpa). We fail at the colour-seeing-tests, but do not have any problems at all telling colours apart.
I am so f**cking angry because nomatter how much I try I will never be able to complete those tests succesfully. :cry:

Hmmm, didn't know there were so many dudes here with crap eyes...
Am I the only one with perfect eyes here???

However, only one (SveinR) really answered my question, or tried to at least.

Oops! To answer the actual question...I've always played with glasses, Im not sure how id play without them. I think I would get used to it farily quickly so itd be the same, but generally ive had no reason to take them off while playing

quite interesting actually, so many with glasses

no, I dont have classes. I think good eyesight is needed to höylä good, so you can see every little pixel there and so on. but does it matter if you have glasses or not, you can easy have better eyesight with glasses than some of us "normal" ppl without glasses....I think

We can in no way see that the elma population has a higher rate of ppl using glasses than in general. Cos I mean - why would anyone with normal eyesight write in this topic?

btw i have perfect eyesight

a poll would be more showing i guess...
