Do you wear glasses?

I just felt like posting this to see how many of us wear glasses. They can be ordinary glasses or sunglasses it doesn't matter. Or any other type of glasses. But in your comment you have to describe them.

I have pink glasses but the next pair I get are definitely going to be purple. I think my pink glasses help me think imaginatively and  it makes me feel like a character from a fantasy novel or movie.

I'm a big short-sighted geek. Thick black-with-green-tint rims and all.

I need new ones, to be honest.

Eye Glasses

I am a person who needs to wear eye glasses everyday, I am near sided.

But I now wear contacts since the late 2007. I do not own new prescripted eye glasses but my old glasses were brown and ovaled like with the brown chipped off with the silver frame showing through. My glasses were a few years old. lol. Plus glasses are expensive.

I do miss wearing glasses I may get a new pair, just to wear every now and then.

RE: eye glasses

I forgot to say I am allergic to "fake" metal (nickel, I believe) so when I purchase glasses i have to get titanium frames or plastic.
inn33dfr33dom's picture

Yep

I have two pair. The one is pretty much rectangular in shape and i find it reflects my professionalism. The other is red frames and it's more fun fun me.

One Sunglas=Ray Ban.

Prefer glasses than having to poke my eyes with contacts hehe...

contacts not for me

I'd prefer wear glasses too! I'm too scared to poke my eyes with contacts.='))

And Ray Ban is a very good branded stylish glasses. I have not yet to get that brand. I do however have a Burberry shades.

Contacts..

The main reason I decided to go with contacts is I had my nephew who was a baby at the time living with my family and I. He would constantly pull my glasses off any chance he had. Recently, my sister and him moved, and I have grown comfortable wearing contacts. Plus I always wanted to see how I looked without my glasses on.

Contacts are not that bad unless you cannot wear them for some reason. There is a technique on how to put them in your eyes. And you do have to get use to putting rewetting solution in your eyes when the contacts dry out which is something I had to get use to. Previously, I was afraid to put eye drops in my eyes for whatever reason but now I can do it by myself. :)

I have been wearing glasses since I was around age 10 or 11.

Sunglasses, I have never grew into wearing them because I could not just wear any sunglasses unless prescription. So I do not wear sunglasses.

haha yeah

children love the frames. maybe its because they're shiny? lol. My nephews, nieces etc would grab my glasses off my face all the time, it get's annoying after a while..I always fear they're going to break my glasses...

The first time I got contacts, I ran out of the bathroom after I put them in and went to mom all excited saying, "Look mom I have big eyes!!! Wow..."  (high prescription=thick frames=illusion of tiny eyes) haha I know, I'm ridiculous.

stefke's picture

Yes.

I need to wear glasses all day long. But I only wear them on (hangover)sundays or on really early mornings/really late midnights(when I'm not out).. Or at concerts/theater visits and I'm sitting/standing to far away..

So yes. I do.

I've only recently started

I've only recently started to wear glasses all the time, but when ever I do take them off i feel as though i can't see, even though my eyes aren't that bad.

What do they look like >>>

(:

reading glasses

i wear glasses for reading, which is sad because i feel like my mother when i use them and im only 18. They are square charcoal black frames, they are kinda boring.

my favorite glasses however, are my sunglasses. OAKLEYS!! I love them, orange polarized lens, metalic ruby red frames with white ear sleeves...they are, simply kick ass

Lilome's picture

Yes

Me me me, I wear glasses.  Bronze wire frames with photochromatic lenses, simply because I'm too damned mean to buy two pairs... I'm short sighted and should only wear them for driving and distances but I happen to think glasses are cool and wear them all the time...

(The real reason is, if I put my glasses down, I'm not going to find them again! Err that's not my eyesight that's my age he he)

I don't really have any

I don't really have any problem with poking my eyes to put in contacts. It's so second nature now. I've been wearing them for about nine years now. I kinda prefer contacts, except for when I'm really really tired and don't feel like getting up to take them out. Although I have slept in them before, more than I should've. I don't recommend that either.

I wear glasses too. Depends on my mood--sometimes I need to look important. Sometimes it's very sunny and I opt for contacts, even though my lenses are transition.

Eye exam: $80

New glasses w/ transitions: $600

Looking important on a sunny day: Priceless (but not really)

shay_neile's picture

I forgot to describe my glasses

The description on the inside of the ear stand says they're Chocolate in color. The outside has a raised dotted detail. I would say the lenses are squarely ovalish, with the bottom half free floating.

I need new glasses because I can't read your avatar!

Moi!

I have a pair too! Um two actually. My first one which i bought around 3 years ago, looks exactly like the one Mandy Musgrave had on BwB? And then i realised that too many people had theirs made like mine, just a matter of coincidence really. So i had another pair made: a red half-rimmed one. I keep the old one near my pc. And i use the new one whenever i leave the house. Ineed them for reading and tv and such but it's easier just to keep wearing them than to remove them each time i don't need them, specially when i'm outside.

I wear glasses! They are

I wear glasses! They are darkred and square rimmed, but I really don't know what material they are made of.

I like them. Also on people in general (glasses, I mean. Not necessarily my glasses ;))

four eyes...

since the first grade...

I currently have plastic, black rimmed glasses. It's mostly because my lenses are too thick and they stick out, like hardcore, on thin frames. I'm freaking blind =( But it's ok, my gf thinks I look cute with glasses. haha =) 

I wore contacts for a while too, but not recently. I miss them but no money=no contacts. Oh well, as long as I can see, I'm good.

baubo's picture

myopic moi

3 pairs.

the everyday one has small oval shaped silver frames.

the funky pair has black plastic rectangle frames.

the pair that needs updated lenses were my great-grandfather's (dad's side of the family).  i may have to go back to Ossip's in Indianapolis to have it done as most places won't for fear of ruining the antique frames, which are gold and larger than my other pairs but tres kewl.

i do adore contacts for working out though.  sweat streaked glasses, blech.

yael_shafritz's picture

i currently wear glasses

i first started waering them when i was 7 and had a lazy left eye. i had to read for hours with an eyepatch over my right eye!

then my eyesight got better! and in 8th grade i kinda just stopped wearing them as i felt i could read okay without them! but this year i started to feel like i needed them again! so i'm back to glasses.
It's odd some people say thye make me look older and some people say i really shouldn't wear them when i don't have to (i wear them a lot otherwise i forget to put them on)

I'm only short sighted in

I'm only short sighted in one eye so i have to wear glasses for working/watching tv etc, but often i just forget. I haven't had them for long - i used to have perfect vision :(

VividMind's picture

Glasses

Yeah, I wear glasses. Plastic black frames, pretty regular. I'm near sighted, so I have to wear them all the time, but I don't really mind. I have had glasses since I was 7 or 8.

Here are

 

my glasses.  I've gone for the black plastic frame look for about ten years now, ever since I saw Ashleigh Banfield (Mmm, Ashleigh Banfield) wearing them:

ladydawn's picture

I wear glasses!!!

 I will admit, i wear glasses. lol. I am blind as a bat if i don't. Anyway, my glasses are Dolce & Gabbana and they are black..I guess that's enough of a description?

For sunglasses I wear maroon AX sunglasses...

sooo yahhh. :)

LoveLillianGish's picture

wearing glasses

Sadly yes and I can't see without them so they are always near me. Lets see-they're thin black frames, rectangular shaped and by Vogue. I only wear sunglasses if I have contacts. I used to have Tina Fey-like glasses that were lightly pink on the inside but they kept sliding down so an upgrade was needed. At some point I'd love to get the corrective surgery and ditch everything but...when I win the lotto I'll get around to it.

Since I was about

Since I was about 4.Currently, I have these really neat retro looking orange glasses. I totally dig them. I don't think I could stick my something in my eye and besides I really like shopping for frames.
lma1110's picture

Glasses since I was 7

I've worn glasses since I was 6. My vision has progressively gotten worse throughout the years. Switched to contacts when I got to high school. Now I wear glasses occasionally at home to give my eyes a break from the contacts, but I need new ones desperately!!! The pair I own are from when I was 14, and I'm 21 now. The lenses have changed, but the frames haven't, and I detest them. Have to make an appt. w/ the eye doctor ASAP!

queeniefakesit's picture

glasses ho!

I have glasses. they are rectangular and silver. i had Daria glasses before lol.

I have contacts, but I dont' like wearing them..if something happens to this one pair I'll probably never get them again because I have an astigmatism..a different one in each eye so contacts would be too expensive.

 

I got a dick like a mule...with a big dick.

TheFoolOnTheHill's picture

I

have glasses (rectangular black thick rimmed ones...pretty normal) but i never wear 'em. I'm a contacts girl through and through. I used to be really padantic about my contacts, y'know rinsing them all the time and making sure i never wear them too long...now i've ceased to care lol I've slept in them loads (once wore them for three days straight haha...bad times) I seem to have loooooads of contacts at the moment, cos i wear them for too long and i'm always wangling free ones out of the receptionist at Specsavers. I've got about 5 pairs stashed somewhere.

Heck yes I do!

I wear them almost every day, 'cause I'm blind as a bat. I used to wear contacts moe often, but I need to get new ones because the ones I have now mess with my eyes :/
mustang_sally's picture

Glasses and contacts...

I have both. Started with glasses 8 years ago then got contacts 7 years ago. My glasses have gold colored rims and oval lenses. I like contacts better and wear them 95% of the time and glasses the rest of the time. Blind without one or the other so I have to wear them all the time.
Jayce's picture

Hurray for glasses

Yes, I wear them. No, I can't see 2 feet in front of me without them. The only time they're not on my face is when I'm sleeping (or in the shower).

When I take off my glasses I look like I'm 12. Does that happen to any else?

deathbyblonde's picture

Heh

It used to, but really anymore. People do, however, realize that I have eyes, which they seem to forget when I have my glasses on ;) Once, while I was hanging out with a friend I had known for years, I took off my glasses and looked up at her and she said (no joke), "Oh my God! Your eyes are, like, really blue! I always thought they didn't have any color in them..." Hmmm, she's not always the brightest star in the sky (love her to pieces, though), but maybe I should wea contacts more often.

*puts hands up*

Me! Making me wear it 16/7 since I'm in my last year of high school and wanted to be treated at least a tiny bit more respectable. =]

glasses

i do wear glasses because i cant see far, i wanna wear contact lense but im scared, i dunno why it seems like it hurts, although i know it's not.

but my minus are not really bad so i rarely wear my glasses.

 

i do like wearing sunglassess too.

iPodbliss's picture

Have them.

I have them and can do fine without them. I really only wear them when driving. But they're deep red plastic Versace. They cost a lot for something I hardly wear!

I'm reeeally short sighted

I'm reeeally short sighted (I blame the computer for that...) so I wear contacts because I don't like glasses. I don't wear them every day though - just when I need to, to read signs and stuff.
I am going to get some glasses in time for university though. I can't be doing with the hassle of contacts.

Tonker's picture

short-sighted, too

I'm also really, really short-sighted...I got my first glasses when I was about 10 and up to the age of 16 I've only worn glasses then I started putting in contacts.

 

So, now I'm mostly wearing my glasses but since I'm a sucker for sun glasses and have about a dozen of them I usually put in my contacts on really sunny days and mostly also when I'm going to a club in the evening.

I didn't really dislike my old glasses, but I also didn't really like 'em - but I've got new glasses two months ago and I love them :D [Can be seen on my avatar..]

reaaaaaaaally short sighted

reaaaaaaaally short sighted here too. Hate wearing my contacts because they irritate my eyes after a few hours. but I do love my glasses - even though it can be annoying wearing them some times ^^   ---->

I have quasi-square brown

I have quasi-square brown glasses for my near-sightness ( i doubt that's a word) and honestly i look like a grandmother when i wear them especially in the winter when i have a big coat on and really couldn't care about how i look.

I have glasses too. Well,

I have glasses too. Well, okay, I've had glasses since I was six, but I got contacts when I was eleven. I'm nineteen now, so I generally only wear my glasses at night or on rather lazy days where it seems like "too much work" to put in contacts, haha. But I recently got new glasses that I like, so maybe I'll wear those a bit more. They're small-ish frames that are dark brown/almost black with a smattering of gold stars on them.
sisken's picture

no more contacts for me

I started out wearing 1 contact when I was 14, since I only had one bad eye back then...

over the years my eyes (both of them) became worse and now, after more than 15 years of contact wearing, I only wear my glasses, since I can't tolerate contacts any more, a few hours is ok, but after that contacts really hurt :'(

last year, I decided to buy myself a new pair of glasses for my 30th birthday: they have a purple frame with detachable temples, for now I have 3 pairs (pink, dark purple and turquoise), but I'm planning to buy some more (black seems nice too)

I have dark blue glasses

I have dark blue glasses that are circular-or oval shaped. And just fit my eyes. The next pair I get are going to be green (light or dark), multicolored or rimless. Purple and pink are definitely super cool colors though. Maybe i'll get that for my next pair

I wear glasses and contacts

I wear glasses and contacts (not at the same time!!)....bit like Leisha Hailey i.e. wake up, put on the glasses, find the contacts, put in the contacts..then at the end of the day, take out the contacts, put on the glasses, get into bed, take off the glasses! :-D
