Waits for the reference to penis size with all the 1/3, 1/4, 1/8 inch measurements.

Mine are about 1/4" I believe right eye is 20 left eye is close to 400 I think. Too much staring at the sun with one eye when I was a kid hehe.

I don't have my prescription handy, but they're easily over a quarter inch thick. People who've tried them on for a second usually report sudden headaches.

at their thickest (like at the very edge) they are almost a quarter inch, and in the middle (you know, the part i'm usually looking out of) they are about an eighth of an inch thick.

Mostly wear contacts, as cannot see very well at all with glasses, because of my corneas.

My corneas are cone shapped because of Keratoconis (sp?), thus only contacts can let me see well enough for most things.

Very annoying. Especially since it can lead to your cornea splitting when they get too cone shapped. Happened in one eye already, and had to get a cornea transplant.

Ok, thats now probably too much info about my eyes. In summary, my eyes suck.

Did they change the rules on that? I thought that if you had any eye damage of any sort (including laser treatment) you weren't allowed to fly anymore?

The USAF did a 2-year test with PRK, and has approved it for aviators. PRK lases the outside of the eye to re-shape it, so it doesn't affect the integrity. The drawback is that it a) hurts like hell and b) takes weeks to heal to optimum vision. With lasik, on the other hand, they detatch the cornea and lase the underside. The benefit is that you get up off the table seeing 20/20. The drawback is that the eye doesn't heal 100%, and rough handling (contact sports, combat flying, etc) could detach the cornea again.

Not thick at all. Right eye is 20/20, left eye is 20/40. But that was based last September, so it could have changed (and I think it has some).

But at least I don't have to wear them all the time. Go me!

EDIT: Upon further inspection, somewhere between 1/6 and 1/8. What can I say, I did horrible in industrial tech and other classes that require extensive usage of our stupid measuring system~.

My contact prescriptions are -3.25, both eyes, although my right eye is slightly worse.

No idea. Hard to tell with the style of my frames. But I do have to wear them all the time, even driving. I'm near-sighted in one eye and far-sighted in the other, and bad enough that I can't see without them.

Don't have my exact prescription handy, though, and it changes nearly every year anyway.

Never needed any, but I think I'll get a pair of those just for looks ones, I like the way they look. Perfect vision one of the few good things that run in my family.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.
