Do you wear glasses?

[dissention]

So do you? And what kind?

My eyesight is absolutely terrible and I'm a quarter inch from being legally blind. Seriously, I've had to wear glasses since I was four and we all know what glasses were like back in the eighties. Thick as coke bottles.

I've been wearing Alain Mikli glasses for almost ten years and they are truly the best. I can throw these suckers down a flight of stairs and they won't have a single scratch.

These are the ones I wear, except mine have a thin red stripe in the middle of them (and I didn't pay no $420 for the damned things!):

I do wear glasses...I only wear them when I'm in class or reading though, and am supposed to wear them when I drive...but usually don't because I prefer sunglasses and am too cheap to buy perscription ones...

My eyesight isn't that bad at all...I can usually get by without glasses, I try to wear them when I read

I don't have a picture of just my glasses but I do have a pic of me wearing them:

I love those glasses, but then again, I like anything with a thick frame. I like glasses that weigh my face down, not those wire glasses that could blow away in the wind.

PS: Congrats on all those accomplishments, you should be proud!

I've had them since I was 4.

Ha!! yes, I do wear glasses...how did you know that?

Only had them for the last couple of years (you know, eye sight getting worse as you get older kinda thing...)
It's cool to see better though
Mine are thin gold rimmed things, no name, but theyr'e cool and even suit me I think....

'Cause I've gone my life without specs
But time makes you slower
My eyesight gets worser
I am bespectacled, too..."

I've worn glasses since 3rd grade, with a brief stint wearing contacts until I realized I look much better w/ glasses.

Mine are Anne Klein, similar to these-

Only they're blue-green.

but I do need my glasses to drive. I'm nearsighted. Also I wear them sometimes while watching TV especially watching a Nascar race. Hard to read the ticker at the top.

Dissention ...thankyou, how sweet to know I've inspired you to do a song 'bout me..

I wear glasses sometimes like when I drive at night or when I'm teaching. I don't really like to wear them though. My glasses are the thin, wiry kind.

I got glasses in 3rd grade & have had hard contacts since I was twelve. These days they're gas permeable, but I miss those glass lenses of old. I hear from my eye doctor that many folks do.

You're welcome; everything is an inspiration for me, doll.

And looking at all of your glasses, I've come to the conclusion that I have the gawdiest, most ridiculous looking pair.

In 2nd grade, I used to tell the teacher that I couldn't see the board. No one believed me, I guess. It wasn't until 5th grade that my doctor finally realized, hey! She really can't see! And so, I got my first pair of glasses. They were these pink, purple, powder blue wire frames...really horrendous but I suppose cute for that time. And then a year and a half later I got another pair...they were black and blue....equally horrendous.

In 6th grade, I refused to wear my glasses and my parents sent a note out to my teachers saying that I had glasses and if I didn't wear them, to yell at me. In 7th grade I couldn't take wearing glasses so I asked my parents for contacts. They agreed and I got them The first day, I cried because I couldn't get them in and when I finally did, I couldn't take them back out. However, I've been wearing contacts ever sense although I do sport what have been dubbed my "Ashleigh Banfield's" aka slutty secretary glasses (Guess frames)

I still can't believe they fired her at MSNBC.

I can't wear contacts because I have a phobia of eyes. They creep the **** outta me and I'd puke if I had to put anyhting in them.
