Been wearing specs since I was 7, and boy do you then find out how cruel kids can be 
People with "normal" eyesight who look through my my specs suffer a slight hallucinogenic experience I'm told because the lens are that thick 
Glad to say that's changed Chris, my two have had glasses since they were 4.
Really glad to hear that mate
Same here re contacts - I don't like the idea of things in my eye, plus the unbelievable amount of buggering about I've seen contact wearers go through with them puts me right off.
Same here. An optician once told me, admittedly a fair while ago that 90% of men who try contacts give up, whereas 95% of women persevere. Read into that what you will.
My ex had some of the first "soft" contacts, which had to be sterilised every night. They had there only mini steriliser, took about 30 mins, which was fine unless you were on a caravan site where the only plugs were in the men's toilets/shower block. Every night for 2 weeks you'd find me in there holding the two wires of the steriliser into the two pin shaver socket
Young love is such a wonderfull thing
