How many chinese people wear glasses / contact lenses?

[Yozoh]

A lot of chinese people have glasses.. but i think that's either because of genetics, reading in the dark or watching tv or on the computer too often. Half of the asians in the school that I know have either glasses or contacts (or both), but there's also another half that does have those. Well.. actually.. Most of the smart ones have glasses xd

Seems like a lot of Chinese kids wear glasses, doesn't it?

I don't know the situation now in China or Hong Kong or Taiwan, but at my school over here in Toronto, majority of the Chinese do not wear glasses. I think it's either because a lot of the girls are wearing contacts or because visual impairment just isn't that bad for Chinese outside of Greater China. lol

You'd think that I would've asked earlier xd !! Of course, my parents don't let me, because they are scared I will infect my eyes.

1/2 of my family wears either contacts or glasses including me (i was devastated)...my mom told me not to read so many kid-cartoony books anymore (she's refering to manga by the way stressed ) but i can't help it xd

You'd probably be ok, the one main thing about contacts is that you never, ever wash them out with water. Most people who use contacts carefully won't encounter any problems with their eyesight, it's just those few people who don't disinfect them properly that give contacts a more risky image.

That's what I do to this day lol. Even when I'm wearing my contacts, my eyesight's still no way near as good as my friend's. *sigh* sweatdrop
