We've never had a poll on this yet, have we?

Random commentary: introversion most likely probably leads to more glasses usage probably.

Yar? Nyar?

edit: I forgot the 'no, I don't wear glasses' option. The blind option would suffice for substitution.

I wear glasses when going out, personally, like shoes. For my eyes. I also take them off when eating, something some people find weird, for some reason.

There's no option for healthy eyesight?

Or maybe I'm too blind to see it.

I considered wearing glasses for the looks/aura before, I think I'd look better in them, but I'd never really do it.

Last I checked(and this was yeaaaars ago) i had a very slight prescription. My eyesight is definitely a little lower now
but I think I still fall in the healthy eyesight range(i guess)

I have medical glasses(they're cute and light orange tinted), but I hate to wear them. I only do when I want to work on my laptop for long periods of time(all those BIM softwares will kill my eyes...eventually. :D)

I expect this to be an overwhelming yes.

I wear glasses and hate them. I look much prettier without them. I have tried (not very hard) to improve my vision with things like the Bates method but had little success. I sense that there's a real possibility that I could significantly improve my vision if I were devoted enough. Have you guys ever tried anything to improve your vision, and did you have any results?

I had glasses but got lasik in 2005 or so. Some glasses look great, but they're a pain with the sweat and dirt, plus having your vision diminished when you dont/can't wear them.

But with age, I've found my vision diminishing slightly. Hooray for weakening eye muscles.

I was told in 2nd grade or so that my eyesight is horrible, being that one of my eyes is supposedly near-sighted and the other is far-sighted. I actually could see perfectly fine. I was given glasses that didn't do much besides make the words in books unnecessarily and uncomfortably large. I stopped wearing them in 4th grade and haven't worn them since.

Growing up in the fifth grade my mother started wearing glasses, for reading as well. Then soon after my oldest brother had them prescribed. I then wondered if I would inherit that because back then I thought glasses would work well for me but it turns out no, I apparently didn't need them. Other siblings didn't go through this either. They both wear them occasionally nowadays, I believe. Eyesight checkups have always been fine. Once a few years ago I went through a series of tests to see if I had glaucoma (side note, pot apparently helps with glaucoma by reducing eye pressure..) but the results produced not much. The glaucoma would have been related to some allergy that annoys me. Nowadays, I mostly assume I'll have to wear them for practical purposes when I'm an old man.

I got glasses in high school when I was 16.
It was amazing to see the leaves on the trees.
I do not know if my sight went bad at 15 or if they did they did the eye tests wrong when I was little. :slashnew:

I need my glasses just to see my computer screen two feet away.

My sense is the poll is directed at those that already have bad eyesight and their preferences for glasses/contacts and not whether you need them or not.

I don't want to check the blind option. I am not and shouldn't have to explain my answer on a poll. It unfairly represents both the blind and the perfectly sighted, I feel slighted by the jaded people in between.

The no glasses option has been added. I redirected 2 votes there, one was mine and the other chose "I'm blind" substitute.
My sense is the poll is directed at those that already have bad eyesight and their preferences for glasses/contacts and not whether you need them or not.
Then this poll wouldn't offer a fair representation of the relation between intpf users and glasses. It would be a glasses-only club.:cool:
Don't ffs the standard deviation. It's a very futile thing to do.

i think you may misunderstand the concept of near sightedness but I can't muster up the motivation to discuss a lame subject like that

anyhow i am far sighted (3.5) and use my glasses only at the computer.
not even while reading a book, unless it's dark or i am very tired.

I don't think it related to introversion,it is not like extroverts don't read or don't use screens.
But it may have connection to intuition,because when you see less well the brain complete the picture,i.e pattern recognizing,which might make intuition more developed(and used).

i think it may relate to the introversion and extroversion of the sensation function, but also with the position of sensation in the stack.

this may conflict with other ideas or facts i believe to observe, but i can't help it, you know what it's like ....

so i "believe" Si doms tend to be near sighted. Se types tend to have good vision, especially Se doms. if sensation is not dominant, vision tends towards far sightedness, but perhaps it's still near sighted in some cases.

in any case i can't think of a reason for why sight might be directly influenced by other functions.

as a child i didn't only have bad sight, but also uneven eyes and a bad squint. i certainly believe that this may produce an intuitive attitude.

not exactly because you can only guess what you look at, but because you focus on the process patterns instead of on the boundaries of objects.

in my book, intuition is all about comprehending changes as objects and treating objects or so called 'facts' like they are mere background noise.

everyone's brain must comprehends changes or processes, or else there would be an unimaginable hole in their reality. but "having intuition" as attitude means associating a particular process with another similar one and thus always exploring the world of process in your imagination, or, in the case of extroversion, in your action.

sometimes, to be honest, i wonder if i might be a sensor, according to my own definition of intuition, because there are limits to how frequently i focus on process, i don't do it all of the time. on the other hand, i am probably not dominant in intuition, so constant focus on N should probably nor be expected anyhow.

in the case of being a sensor i would still have tertiary intuition though, so it's a marginal difference. for socializing i go with the definition of intuition of the mbti, according to which i am obscenely intuitive.

people always call me i am nuts anyway, but an NI dominant person has once called me nuts for suggesting that i might be a sensor, so perhaps they "just knew".
