Do you need to use glasses?
For me, Yes

I was interested in what other Apolytoners did to improve their eyesight.

I have glasses and contacts.

Glasses are usually when I'm lounging around at home doing nothing, contacts otherwise.

I only need glasses to see things far away. I never use them when on Poly as it is perfect close up.

I should wear glasses, but I should also remember not to sleep with them on. They make an interesting crunching sound when they break in the middle of the night.
Actually, it's really bad because I can't tell people apart if they're not too close.
Which is great in that everyone I meet looks very nice until they come within range. But I guess that would be the case even with glasses.

My glasses are as thick as Coke bottles! My vision is 600/20, in other words I am legally blind without my cokes.

Contacts. Glasses are a pain in the butt to use, since I'd have to keep switching between regular glasses and sunglasses, and my track record with losing sunglasses is not very good (it doesn't matter too much if I lose a $5 non-prescription pair of sunglasses every couple months, but I'd be most upset if I lost a $50+ prescription pair...)

Naah, it's just all the losers and geeks who hang out on game site off topic forums.

My vision is 20-20 now, down from 20-10 until my mid-late 30's. At this rate, I'll need glasses when I'm about 115.

Glasses? Me? Nah. I have almost perfect (i.e. I'm almost on the bottom of the standard eye sight scale) eye sight, so no need for ones.
