they're in/on the last place you left them .

j/k man. But just try and remember where you left them last. And have you looked into getting contacts or even lasik surgery for your eyes so you don't have to worry about them anymore?

yea i got contacts but im near sighted so i only need glasses for watching tv... and lasik eye surgery is $2000... i can hardly afford that, plus you need to have the same prescription for like 18 months or something,

*still looking btw, im missing csi *

yea thats why i wear glasses as a backup. Contacts are the way to go. When you wake up, put em in. When you go to sleep, take em out. If you loose your contacts...then something is wrong hehe.

I have to agree that contacts are the way to go. I wore glasses for 5-6 years of my life, then switched to contacts just recently. If you get disposible contacts, if you lose one some how, it doesnt really matter.

Ive been in your situation before. What helped me find my glasses when i lost them was getting someone else to look ^^

I get the same thing as well... sometimes when I wake up, I don't remember where I left them!

Isn't that eye laser operation a bit dangerous? I prefer wearing glasses than being blind like an old bat

I agree mate.

Corrective laser surgery is dangerous as we still dont know enough about it and its after effects.

I know of two people that had this done for cosmetic reasons and it went wrong.
One guy has permanent blurred vision in one eye and they other guy now cant drive at night as he gets dazzled by street lights and headlights of other cars.
And that damage is permanent and cant be corrected.

Its also worth taking note that every eye doctor I have ever met (and I've met a few) all wear glasses. Does that tell you something?

Your eyes change shape/size as you grow older and therefore the best thing to do is to wear glasses as they can be changed easier.

that depends on the type of glasses one would wear. If they're glasses that are as thick as the bottom of glass bottles, then i wouldn't think so. But other glasses just fit a person so well, that yea, they make one look beautiful/handsome . Sometimes i wish i could wear glasses, but my vision hasn't crapped out on me yet (i think it's starting to tho cuz i can't see as well as i used to anymore ).

I recently discovered I need to wear glasses as well. I guess staring at computer screen all day at work isn't really good for your eyes! I used to have 20/15 vision too...

i haven't seen the eye doctor since i was 7yrs. old! That was 14yrs. ago.......never really had time to go, but i guess i'm just making up that excuse to not go. I really need to go to see if i myself need glasses/contacts.

Try the CIBA VISION NIGHT&DAY contacts they are kinda expensive but you can sleep with them I have been wearing them for a while now and they are bad ass, you can wear them up to 30 days and nights in a row without taking them out, they allow about 10 times as much oxygen in to your eye as regular contacts so they dont damage you eyes, they are made from a completly diffrent material from regular contacts so its actually recommended that you dont take them out and they dont require any cleaning, I cant tell you enough how great it is to wake up in the morning and actually see what time it is.
