Glasses vs Contact Lenses

***Cheung*** · 04-11-2001, 09:30 AM

The lens is an uneven curvature hence the astigmatism.
As to why it should get like that, sorry, don't know the answer.

Just been to bolanews.com

There's a picture of Sigit with glasses on!

Rubbing ur eyes is one of the causes of astig, not the only one. Like Cheung, I only know how astig comes abt, not what causes it. And my @#$% right lens split in half today... damn! On a lighter note, someone sent me some really nice pics of Tony Gunawan =)

poor thing. how many lenses have u lost already??? I haven't lost any yet.

**Adel** · 04-12-2001, 01:39 PM

I dunno... so many I can't count??? Sometimes they just pop out of my eyes and I dun notice it until hrs later... I'm so used to using just my left eye though my right one is stronger.

Are u left handed?

**May** · 04-13-2001, 03:10 AM

I am not. I dunno abt Adel. Say, Adel, do u have lazy eye????

**Adel** · 04-13-2001, 09:50 AM

No, I'm not... but that explains why I have no hand-eye co-ordination. Left eye and right hand... how sad can you get?

May, I dun have a lazy eye. Surprisingly too.

**May** · 04-14-2001, 04:19 AM

wow. I don't have lazy eye myself. Do u experience double vision??? When u wear ur contacts????

**Adel** · 04-14-2001, 08:57 AM

No, why?

***Cheung*** · 04-14-2001, 09:31 PM

Ahh, so you have a split personality..................Poor thing.

Wow! I'm surprised that high level (doubles) players wear glasses and still play at such a fast pace (Sigit). I remember the days when I preferred contacts over glasses for badminton. I have -4.50 and 175 in astimagtism. On multi shuttle drills (usually both side defence) I had problem following the 2nd shuttle - defending a close to line on backhand and the next one going on the forehand side. The opthalmologist said that contact lenses cannot follow very quick eyes movement so in those situations my vision could blurred which was what I experienced. Probably the contact lenses now are much improved from those I used to wear.

As an aside, the opthalmologist who is a very good friend of mine was also not in favor of surgeries to correct the vision problems. Told me to do as him, wear glasses though he himself perform the vision correction surgeries. When asked him why just he just smiled and told me to follow his example!!

Yeah... remember when I said I was an it? Truth is I'm a weredog... human on full moons and dog at other times. So you see, I haven't just got a split personality. Last time I thought Lee was adorable, it was on a full moon... hyuk hyuk.

'Cos I have double vision when I wear the contacts. Not all the time though.

**May** · 04-15-2001, 07:18 AM

I think it's werewolf, not weredog.

But why????? I noticed that some of my Primary school friends who wore, or rather, were supposed to wear glasses, didn't like to and therefore, didn't wear the glasses, their eyesights better than mine. And i am the one who wears my glasses conscientiously.
