Sometimes they look nerdy depending on the person but obviously it doesn't look nerdy on some but nerdy on the others. In some cases it looks good.

I hate glasses. After wearing them for five years lol.

I'm a danger to other people without them though.

I don't think they make me look nerdy. Never been called nerdy because of my glasses either.

Ever considered contact lenses?

Have have something called auto k. They're hard lenses which you wear at night, and you can see during the day without contacts or glasses

I wear both contacts and glasses (contacts when I'm playing soccer)

I got told to wear glasses since I was 7 because my right eye's short-sightedness was about 0.25 more than my left eye...

It's worse if you do well in school and you wear glasses..... sigh :)

Auto K - Don't they forcibly shape your eye so you can see for a day?

Not sure how that'd go with Astigmatism.

Ha, that may be the difference. I COULD have done well in school... I just didn't care and though most of my teachers were full of shit. Turns out they were :).

11 years. And I'm 15. and I can't get contacts cos I'm long sighted.
Lol sucks to be you, I hated glasses.

Is there anything at all that will allow you to not wear glasses? (besides surgery). E.g some weird contact or something

I'm moderately short-sighted, but I only wear my glasses in class and watching tv. That's it.

I've been told that glasses make me look super smart (but not in a nerdy way). I think it comes down to whether you choose glasses that complement your face; when you don't, you look nerdy.

Never want to try contact lenses - I hate touching my eyes.
