Do you wear glasses or contacts?

If so, how often do you go without them and how is your vision without them? Do you like or dislike them? How do you and others think you look with and without glasses? Does anybody ever say anything positive or negative about them? Have you ever been bullied or teased for wearing them? Were your parents for or against you wearing them? Did you break them and/or throw them away if you quit wearing them? When did you get them and if applicable stop wearing them? Feel free to tell everything related.

Do I wear glasses or contacts? Glasses

Do I like or dislike them? I love wearing my glasses.

How do I think I look in them? I am happy with my frames. Others? Many have complemented my glasses.

Positive? They like my frames and how I look with them on.

Negative? A few say that I hide behind my glasses and make fun of my prescription.

Bullied or teased? Yes, for the above negative reasons.

Father for or against? He has not weighed in either way.

Break or throw them away? Not yet!

Start wearing glasses? 26 months ago.

I think that I answered all of your questions. It was fun. Any other questions?

I wear them for all but sleep. I cannot see without them. I have worn them since grade 2. The optometrist overprescribed and ruined my vision. Everyone says I look lovely in them. No one teases me ever in a mean manner. Even when I first wore them. My parents wanted me to see better. I only damaged them a bit when playing competitive soccer. They suit me. I tried contacts long ago for a while. I am not vain. I have beautiful blue blue eyes. When I had contacts, everyone commented upon my eyes. LOL. They still do.

I wear glasses. Without them I'm pretty much blind. I don't care what others think. I get my glasses from Wal-Mart where frames start at nine dollars. Why give a fancy shop two day's pay for a commodity?

@PoizonApple You don't have to answer all of them, lol, they're just suggestions for what to talk about. They're all optional though, so if you don't want to answer any, that's fine too. :)

Thank you for awarding my answer. I enjoy the topic.

@Fauxmyope2 You're welcome. And if you really want more related questions, I am kind of wondering about the bullying/teasing. For one, aren't you a bit past the age where that's a big thing? But more to the point, has it influenced you any as far as how you feel about your glasses? And make fun of your prescription how?

@matttheman13 I’d like to think so but it bothered me. However, I love wearing my glasses now that I have been prescribed glasses.
Both but I wear contacts about 80% of the time so I don’t have to worry about losing glasses or cleaning them all the time. No, I haven’t been teased for either, although I do get compliments when I wear glasses at times. I plan of getting lasik later in my 20s.

@Insomniac100 So you don't like wearing contacts?
I wear contacts because they’re convenient for me @matttheman13

Yes. When I'm asleep, in the shower, or fuckin. My vision is ok without them. I like them. Idgaf if others don't like how I look with them, and have never thought about it. Yes. For. No. I got my first pair when I was 14.


Tip: ask one question at a time. 😂😂😂

@SW-User So did you get upset when you got bullied/teased? And hey, you answered them all.

Glasses, contacts can f&ck with your eyes, causing irritation, dryness and inflammation. To avoid that you keep pouring some liquid which is nothing but some chemical. Even worse. . I don't wear contacts unless I'm playing sports and I switch to glasses immediately after.
Glasses. I dont wear it unless i have to drive or watch in the theater. I dont like or dislike them. I think i look terrible with it. Jesus so many questions
No glasses or contacts here
