Re: Glasses


Donna, there used to be a stigma about wearing glasses years ago but in today's world they are just accepted as normal. I'm sure you will look lovely in yours ...

Re: Glasses


Might work wonders for you Donna - a whole new you, and one who can see really well.
Be positive - it'll be much better for you. Bet they'll look really smart ...... and just look around and see how many people (attractive and not so) wear glasses. Lots and lots.

Re: Glasses


Is there really still a bit of stigma about wearing glasses? I've worn them since I was six, and there was a lot of "four eyes" teasing going on in school, but good Lord that was back in the Dark Ages!!! Practically everyone I know wears them! Donna, you'll look just fine, and it will be great to see clearly again! How about a pic when you get them?

Re: Glasses


I don't think there is a stigma anymore Eileen , the amount of people who wear them nowadays, it's almost like a fashion thing...

Donna, I bet you never thought you'd see David Beckham wearing glasses but he looks quite dishy in his!

Re: Glasses


It's funny how styles in glasses change, just like clothes! I posted a pic of myself yesterday taken in the late 80s or early 90s, and the glasses I was wearing...huge old things with tortoiseshell rims...look so horrible now, but they were very "in" back then...

Re: Glasses


I've worn glasses since I was fourteen although I did wear CL for a good few years. There is deffo no stigma attached to glasses these days in fact my Em would rather like a pair as a fashion accessory!!!

Re: Glasses


Got the glasses...

Hate them - feel like a freak!!!

Not wearing them.

Will have to go back and ask about contact lenses or not bother at all. Dont make much difference to my vision when I put them on anyway so cant see that my eyesight is that bad and the varifocal thing makes everything move around the room.

Can see better without them!!!

Re: Glasses


Sorry to hear that Donna. I know what you mean though, I really don't like wearing mine at all. The varifocals are odd too, OH has them and it took him a long time to get used to the strange sensation you get when looking through them.

I would recommend CLs . . . discreet, easy to use (especially the daily disposables) . . . I took to them like a duck to water and I'm the most squeamish person ever about eyes. Most opticians will give you a trial with them.
