Is it cold in here?:
Welcome, kindasorta new person!
CrowFairy:
My left eye is currently (according to a prescription from three years ago) at 20/40, while my right eye is 20/200. I only wear my glasses when I need to see detail on something far away or in class when there are slides on the screen. In 2002, my left eye was 20/10, while my right eye was 20/40. My sister's eyesight degenerated much earlier and faster than mine, and my dad and his side of the family all have similar degeneration.
But I don't feel the need to wear my glasses most of the time, as I can see perfectly fine without them, as long as I'm not looking for someone (because I can't see facial features at a distance).

They usually stop testing my left eye when they get down to 20/20, but I'm about 20/15 uncorrected, and my vision is stable.
The right eye is odd. Lazy eye, and my brain rejects input from that eye, in favor of the left eye that can't see. End result, it's about 20/120ish, and needs bifocals to prevent eyestrain when trying to focus.
And then, when you correct one eye, you correct the other... so my left eye has bifocals on top of it, too.
So, I don't need glasses in day to day life, but I wear them all the time anyway. Makes using my MBP Retina in 2880x1800 native comfortable. :D

Both relevant to my interests. :P
It's possible that Claire doesn't have that big a problem with her sight. I often go without glasses at work, because I'm only slightly short-sighted, but that's okay because I don't need to see past the edge of the restaurant. And when I do, it's just to check whether the slightly blurred people shapes are walking past or coming to order food. I do have contacts, but they're a bit more of a hassle than I thought they'd be.
Also, as I believe I said before, glasses do make people look better. And smarter. :P
It's entirely possible that Claire has contacts, though I like to believe that she just doesn't want to start weeping into her glasses when the grooms say "I do".
ALTERNATIVELY, and I'm surprised nobody's considered this yet, she COULD still be wearing glasses to the wedding, but she took them off in order to get changed and simply hasn't put them back on yet.
Gosh, a lot of this conversation would look a bit silly if that were the case... :P
