I Wear Glasses

I got them for the first time this year. I was holding out for 20/20 in 2020.

The optometrist suggested that I just get readers From a drug store but at least I knew which strength ti get.

When I was about 7 I wanted to wear them just because I saw Bratz glasses when I first when for my eye test and I got upset when I found out I didn’t need them as I only wanted them because they was bratz style. I needed glasses for reading when I turned 8 but then I only wore them at home as I was too scared to wear them at school. It’s weird as I hated wearing them after that. I have about 10 Pairs as my dad forced me to go every year to get them checked as I got sent letters every year , some are broken and when I was younger I ended up sitting on them or crushing them when fighting with other kids as I kept them in my coat pocket , my friends always wanted to try them on when they came to my house , my first pair I broken within a day of having them and I remember sitting on the stairs with a piece of the rod in my hand and I was so scared as my dad was shouting and swearing at me and I nearly laughed as I thought it was funny how I managed to break them straight away.

I was born with amblyopia (lazy eye)...Got hit in both eyes numerous times with rocks, baseballs, fists, etc. growing up...Was diagnosed with glaucoma at 30 years of age..

Dr. said reason for glaucoma so early in life could have been due to the scarring in back of the eye from the trauma down through those years....Paying for it now..

Still don't wear glasses except to read books,computer screen..Never have.

Biggest disappointment was the amblyopia caused me to have around 20/200 in the lazy eye, and could not be corrected with glasses.
Disappointing because I wanted to join the U.S. Marine Corps out of high school...Wouldn't take me because of that one eye problem.. very disappointing at that time.

Yes it sounds like me. I always loved glasses, how they looked and always thought people who wear glasses are really attractive. I always wanted my own.

When I was in my 20's, my dad went for a cataract operation, I had my eyes tested and they were perfect 😔 Even though my parents both wore glasses and I was told I'd have problems seeing at night. I've gone for some tests (driving, regular health checks, etc) since then, and even now at 42, my eyes are still pretty good.

I'm surrounded by people who wear glasses and they all hate having to wear them. To each their own I guess.

I find women in glasses SO SEXY!!!!

Please don't risk your eye sight by unnecessary wearing glasses. If you feel to have a comfortable and good looking personality while wearing glasses, you can get a zero power glasses for the purpose.

Men in glasses 🤓 look more attractive to me.

Even with perfect eyes you can have frames with Plano’s in them. Or if you want sunglasses you can have them made with no script.

It’s very common for people to want a good pair of sunglasses made. You can even bring in your own frame to places like Eyemart Express.

I usually recommend a special order for Mirrored Polycarbonate AR lenses as they will do the best to protect your eyes sun glass wise.

But it never hurts to have them checked first.

...did you not realize that you get glasses and wear them without corrective lenses? There are people who, for a living, play pretend, and they use alterations to "create a character", and glasses are one prop which is sometimes desired or required, even for those without them. 😉😆

If you want to understand lenses, you could look at the optics section of, say, the older (but more information-packed) Physics undergraduate text by Halliday & Resnick (it is in Part Two of the 2-part version), or the newer Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick & Walker.

Or just look up the "thin lenses" or the lense maker's equation, which relates the focal length of a lense to the location of the object & image. There is not much to it, but it shows you how real & virtual images work (real ones are those formed by light going through the image, such as images you see through eyeglasses; virtual ones do not, such as, e.g., the image you see in a mirror, which is not actually formed "back there", feet behind the plane of the mirror).

The equation is

1/i + 1/o = 1/f

where o, i are the distances to the 'o'bject and 'i'mage, respectively, and f is the focal length of the lense.

For a mirror, f -> infinity, so

1/i + 1/o = 0, or

1/i = -1/o, so

o = -i

Since the object distance is real (as you stand in front of the mirror, light actually DOES bounce off you before going toward the mirror),

o > 0

so the image distance is

i < 0

and the image is virtual (because no actual light is passing through the image of you which looks like it is "inside" the mirror).

I had cataract surgery on both eyes. I know I'm young for that. I was told I only need readers because my far vision is good

There! I changed my avatar for you.

@JoeyFoxx I will readily admit to that. I always wanted glasses, love getting them finally, and get turned on wearing mine after feigning the need for my weak prescription.

I'm one of those guys who finds glasses on a woman intensely sexy and beyond that... a major attraction factor. If a woman is wearing glasses, I'm going to look at, and check her out.
But I've found that many women who don't wear glasses know this about guys and have a pair in their purse that have just clear lenses in them, No prescription at all, so that they can slip them on whenever they feel that librarianesque feeling come over them and want to tease those mystery guys out there that are putty when they see a woman wearing them. So... all these years, you didn't have to wait.

You suit them very well. Very nice! I always wanted glasses from an early age probably because my parents both wore glasses. They both used to work in my dad's shop every Saturday and I was left at home. I would get my dad's spare pair of glasses and wear them all day, even out on my bike. Weird I know, but the thrill I got from it was indescribable for a young teenager.
In my 20s I developed progressive astigmatism and now wear varifocals full-time and love them.

I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 5 years old. I’ve broken many along the way. I had 3 eye surgeries between ages 4-7 I didn’t really like wearing them when growing up. Lot of people treat you different. I still wear them.

I started wearing them in high school. I have only astigmatism, so I only had to squint and I passed vision exams. I will never forget my feeling when I first put on glasses, Itbeas like suddenly seeing in high-definition.

I have perfect vision.

But in junior high, I wanted fashion frames without prescription. They actually suited me.

I got my first at age 16, my problem was and still is primarily astigmatism. I am much older now and just got glasses made to wear during bandvrehearsaksvand concerts. This is the first time I can see both music and conductor. It is as if I'm now see in high definition!

I too, love wearing glasses. Most of the time they are on the end of my nose where I can look over them. I remember when I first got them and they were the classic black frame ones. I never even thought of contact lenses. I just like the look of wearing them. As I’ve aged, I do rely more on them to read and when I drive, I use the same glasses but it’s a lower prescription. I would love to see you, wearing yours.☺️🌷

Ask a question on the big board. Ask under the health questions.

Glasses gives a few an authoritative look.

Didn't read all of this but I've worn glasses since 10. Wanted contacts as a teen, got them and they didn't work out.
Now I like wearing glasses. Face decoration. Look better with them.maybe because I rarely see my face without them

@Gillian In that case, que sera sera.

As Grannie (the wolf) said to "Little Red Riding Hood"... "the better to see you with." Your glasses are very stunning in appearance. I too have far-sighted.

No I'm not that lucky I actually wear glasses cause I have too

I was given glasses when I joined the military but I haven’t worn any since
I’m just not comfortable with them(although I should probably be wearing them cause I seem to be impaired when it comes to far away things)

I haven't exactly wanted to have glasses but I have had fun on a number of occasions trying other peoples :/

My grandparents and my parents wore glasses so it was only a matter of time before I had to wear them and that happened in my late 20`s. 🙄

I could do with some new ones 🤔

By the way, you look really pretty in your glasses! :)

The problem with wearing glasses:
1. get fogged when go from A/C to warm moist air
2. slip off nose when you try to do work
3. you get used to seeing the word with a dark ring around everything

No. I can't see well at all. I don't mind them, though. I feel weird without glasses and not just because I can't see without them; it's like they're part of my face now.

No. I hated glasses. Partly just a pain to keep track of. Finally got contacts in my mid twenties.
I would cheat on my eye exam the opposite way but would make my driving dangerous. Lol

I have worn glasses since age 11.

You should get prescription sunglasses, too!

Well I have glasses but still getting used to wearing them.
Glad you like to wear them, they look good on you ,

Well if that is you in the avatar ,, you look really great in them ,,,,

Aww you look incredible in your profile picture love your beautiful glasses you are soo pretty

This is, without question, one of the most peculiar fetishes I have witnessed here.

It’s not wrong or strange, just peculiar.

I do wear glasses and I tend to think I of them as mostly functional, though I suppose they can be fashionable

This post is 2 years old and yet, still pertinent. That's refreshing. 🥰🌹😎🥸🤓💞🌹

Love your glasses! ❤️
