How is your skill affected when not wearing glasses? I found out just how terrible my eyesight is, so I'm looking for something to inexplicitly justify my slow progress so I can feel better about my worth as a human being.

Get contacts.

**funmonkey54** · 10-10-2009, 07:59 AM

Well, for one I can't find the screen at all, it is just a gray fuzz in the middle of some other colored fuzz. So, I would say pretty significantly.

**Frozen Beat** · 10-10-2009, 08:18 AM

For me it makes a big difference.

It's better when I don't have them on.

1-I'm not really that nearsighted -___-

2-I can't stand my nerves[literally, my nerve cells] being barraged by too many things at once. I can't wear my watch, I can't have anything other than flat ground touch my feet, and I can't have heavy hunks of glass on my nose either. This crap blows off on my concentration.

pretty much this for me

difference in contacts vs glasses is minimal as long as you don't change from one to the other right before playing

**Sprite-** · 10-10-2009, 08:34 AM

For me, if I wear my contacts I can see just fine. If I wear my glasses I can't really play and it sucks. It's weird and I don't know why.

I as well as a friend have contacts, both soft ones, and they dry out after like 30 secs of playing (seriously..) simply because you can't blink enough on high level songs....
I play fine with contacts the first 20 seconds, I play fine with old crummy glasses on (which are like .25 or .5 points off), and horrible without anything.

This is exactly my point of view. Since you do not blink often when playing, it's best to play without contacts since your eyes will dry up and so will your contacts, rendering your eyesight a bit blurry.

When I play with glasses on the other hand, I don't have contacts and so they don't get in the way and so I can play normally.

**Heartseeker7** · 10-10-2009, 11:31 AM

I play with my glasses cause I can not wear contacts.
I personally don't find any difficulties with wearing my glasses and playing.

omgitznpv · 10-10-2009, 11:42 AM

i have glasses (and really need them) but i don't wear them due to the inconvenience that they are

i have huge problems keeping my eyes open when playing ffr; my eyes also tend to tear a lot. when i play with glasses, it's better, but the glasses get in my way and i get worse scores lol

**Kibblre** · 10-10-2009, 12:48 PM

My contacts have never dried out for me while playing, but I never take mine out. I've had this pair in for 4 months (yes, they are the disposable ones).

Xx{Midnight}xX · 10-10-2009, 12:48 PM

Taking them off helps for Synthlight files and ones with the squares in the background. There's a few other songs I play without 'em and I can AAA a little without 'em. They don't wreck my PA at all when they're off.

Kasumi-chan · 10-10-2009, 12:52 PM

I don't see arrows without glasses, so yeah 100% wear glasses.

holy **** dude

**foilman8805** · 10-10-2009, 01:27 PM

I can play with them on or off, but I prefer to have them off. My scores don't change or vary whether or not I'm wearing them.

**One Winged Angel** · 10-10-2009, 02:01 PM

blind without 'em

~HentaiXXX~ · 10-10-2009, 02:08 PM

The notes are clearer with my glasses, because I push my contact wearing to the very limits of how long you're supposed to keep them.

**Im Vince** · 10-10-2009, 02:25 PM

if i dont have my glasses on i cant even see the arrows -_-

**Flaming_Dingleberry** · 10-10-2009, 02:39 PM

My worth as a human being isn't determined by my eyesight, nor my abilities in FFR, that's for damn sure.
