Who wears glasses? Where did you get the pair you're wearing now?

[Modem Butterfly]

And what do they say about you?

I've needed glasses since I was 14 or so, but I didn't start wearing them until I was 18 out of sheer desperation because the headaches were so bad. I have one eye that's really weak and one eye that's nearly normal, so without glasses I have almost no depth perception, especially at night. There is no way I would dream about trying to drive without my glasses, and frankly, the headaches are so bad without them that I wear them pretty much all the time.

I bought my current pair of glasses at LensCrafter Optique. They say that I'm too afraid of sticking things in my eyes to wear contacts.

1. I do and have worn glasses since I was a little kid

I got this pair in the early '90s at 4 Your Eyes Only in Wallingford, a neighborhood in Seattle.

They're cat's eye-shaped and a tortoiseshell pattern - brown and green. I like them because they seem to fit my face. :)

2. Cool. When was the last time you had your lenses updated?

[flamingyouth]

4. I think Dec. 2003

I have several eye issues and it's always complicated with me. :D

3. St. Paul Optical

in Downtown St. Paul. Opted to go with a local business instead of the clinic.. and it ended up being cheaper, too. Bought the contacts I am wearing as well as my frames there.

5. I wear glasses

I think I got them at Shoppers Optical or something...
All they say about me is I have a really round face and I need something square to detract from that.

6. my glasses

i've needed them for the same reason you do as well.
i bought mine from the spectical shoppe in mn
they say, i dunno what they say. they're retro so it causes many people to stop and tell me when they remember having glasses like that.

7. I've Worn Glasses Since October of 1960

I got my current pair at Doctor's Vision Works, but I'll never go back there again because they screwed up the prescription.

8. A tiny non-corporate glasses shop in Chinatown.

They say I'm swave and deboner.

[ulysses]

9. your glasses say you're deboner?

:D

[chaska]

10. yes, Sway-ve and duh-boner. Did I spell it wrong?

11. I wear both glasses and contacts

Though not at the same time. I get 30 pairs of disposable lenses every two months, and thus split roughly half and half.

I get both of these from Dollond and Aitchison Opticians - this is (I fear) a large chain here in Britain - but they make everything so damn easy my lenses come through the post, I pay by direct debit, they write to me whenever I need to have a new sight-test or contact lens check, and both of these are free because I'm buying their lenses.......

My glasses say that I'm short-sighted, my lenses also say that I'm vain.

[Squatch]

12. I do. I bought them at the Wal-Mart vision center.

I got 2 frames for the price of one with Transition lenses.

I cannot, for the life of me, wear contacts because I absolutely hate things near my eyes.

I have to wear glasses while driving and TV-watching, but I can't wear them at my computer.

[Huckebein the Raven]

13. I've been wearing classes since 6th or 7th grade

There have been women who have said if I wore contacts instead of glasses, I would be hot.

I'm happy the way I am and if they have a problem with it well that's their problem.

:shrug:

[sakabatou]

14. I wear them

Got them at Lenscrafters as well, and like you, I'm afraid of putting things in my eye. I also hate the Glycoma test...

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Currently mine say, "My son broke my good pair." and I got them

at D.O.C. :hi:
