Some kind of conection between the two? I wonder. I've heard that bad posture can lead to astigmatism...maybe that's why I have glasses.

I have good posture. I wear contacts pretty much all the time (but I do have glasses).

I slouch, but that's okay, since slouching is cool.
You don't ever see cool people sitting up straight, do you?
If you're cool, you're a rogue, and your style shows it.
And glasses... glasses are cool, too, if they're not too big (Small, oval glasses are more attractive than big square glasses- you must avoid big, square, glasses at all costs) and if they're well-taken care of. Smeary glasses, or glasses with messed-up rims, show the world what a disgusting little slob you are.

I have terrible posture and I wear my specs for amblyopia (better known as lazy-eye).

I wear glasses. I used to have pretty bad posture too, but I trained myself out of it.

I wear glasses. And I don't think my posture is bad when I'm standing but it's quite bad when I'm sitting. Of coure now that's compounded now by my asthma and that most times if I'm not leaning back I have a harder time breathing.

Yes I tend towards bad posture, I also wear glasses due to being near and slightly far-sighted as well.

I put my backpack on today in front of a friend, and as I was shouldering it he said,

"Scoliosis!"

And it was a LIGHT backpack day for me too! ((Though I think I still had to walk leaning forward a bit.))

No glasses, I had surgery to fix my one out of focus eye. I do tend to slouch forward and look at the floor when I walk. I don't think the slouching has ever been about self esteem for me, I just don't like tripping on stuff. People have imitated the way I walk, and it does look pretty bad. But now I use a cane when I walk, and everybody seems to assume that any oddness in the way I walk is related to some sort of injury. Actually it partially is now. What was the question again?
