Title: Eye glasses...
Post by: Irongrip400 on October 22, 2018, 09:34:52 AM
It seems for a certain group of people have started wearing eye glasses. Some sporting unusually short hair as well. That said, do you think they are prescription glasses? Are people bucking what they see as the norm of wearing contact lenses and reverting to glasses? Or, are they non prescription and just part of a “uniform” of these groups of people? I just read an article on BBC about protesting for human rights, and most at least in the picture, had this look.

They think wearing glasses makes them look smarter than if they wore contacts.

When I started wearing my glasses, due to the fact my contacts were irritating my eyes, it may sound hilarious but people started to become more friendly towards me no joke. So these days I primarily wear my glasses and occasionally wear contacts.

Probably why you always see murderers on trial always wearing them.

It's the fashion trend for 2018, especially among women, and especially large or oversized frames. Part of the latest "Look at Me" phase that is fueled in a big way by Instawhore, er, gram.

I wear glasses because I can't see. People are wearing them for fashion. Especially women because they feel it makes a statement that they are intelligent. Many times looking at the glasses I doubt there is magnification in them.

That's because a lot of time the glasses are fake, lol:

Some people can't wear contacts because their eyes are ... special.

Be forewarned about Lasik...you might be corrected to 20/20 when you are under thirty...but as you age, you will still become farsighted, and need glasses for close up.

Yes but it's better than bifocals.

Hmmm, I hadn't noticed that eye glasses had become trendy. But if they are, I fit right in. Mine are prescription glasses. I've worn contacts for decades, alternating them with eye glasses. Up until my current pair, I've mainly worn rimless or wire-framed ones. This last time, I picked out a version of horn-rimmed frames. The face frame is mat black, while the temples are faux, light-colored wood. They took getting used to but now I prefer them to contacts. My hair is beyond short. Nice to know I'm accidentally stylish. I get a lot of compliments on them, especially from younger folks.

He's referring to problem glasses you dumb boomer.

I don’t need glasses, but if I did, I’d get some big honkin’ frames, perhaps shaped like stars or something equally as snazzy.

LASIK is awesome. Yes, aging still happens. There is surgery for that to now.

I wear prescription glasses but not the annoying hipster type of glasses.

Just standard glasses.

I tried contacts numerous times but I can’t seem to get it right—I really don’t want to touch my eyeball.

When I get old, if I need them, I just going to say fuck it, and rock some Swifty Lazar or Lew Wasserman frames -

The problem with that if you have strong glasses because you are near sighted you can have the reverse problem. Now after surgery you will need glasses for reading instead of needing glasses for distance. I will take having good vision for reading as my first priority and use glasses for stuff like driving.

My father had it done in his late 60's, on both eyes. His eyesight is perfect now.

I have horrible vision. Nearsighted but at worse than 20/600 it doesn’t really matter. I’m going to get it done as soon as I get off my unmotivated ass and go do it.

Couple years ago (age 50) I had to resort to reading glasses (cheaters). Still not used to it, so I buy them by the dozen at dollar stores, and leave them around everywhere.
Far away stuff, I'm fine. Up close, I'm like Mr. Magoo...

The great one wears glasses (Vince G.).

Do people still wear the old fashioned bifocals? Progressives are much better.

Is he? Just reread the Irongrip's original post and didn't see that. Exactly what problem is he referring to?

Unless you do a lot of reading, wouldn't you be wearing your glasses most of the time?

My first pair of glasses were for reading. Try monovision where a person wears one contact lens that corrects only distance vision in one eye, and wearing another lens that corrects only near vision in the other eye. Monovision also works in conjunction with LASIK surgery. My contacts are monovision. This works well. Bifocal or multifocal contacts are another option.
