Coo-Coo for Contact Lenses!

[AriRashkae]

WEAR YOUR FUCKING GLASSES AND GET OVER IT. YOU WILL NOT DIE BECAUSE YOU HAD TO WEAR GLASSES FOR A FEW DAYS!!! (Unless you continue acting like a whiny little bitch, and then I might KILL YOU!!!)

.....*cough*...

Sorry, I've been holding that in for like four years now.

Maybe not, but by day 3 I wish I had. Seriously, my Rx is so strong and I'm so susceptible to pressure changes (air, blood, etc) that my glasses give me excruciating headaches. I am forever grateful that my doc could give me 2 trial pairs (1 as a backup) to hold me over until my exam.

I wear contacts most of the time, and have glasses for backup. I don't particularly like wearing the glasses because the mess up my depth perception and I don't have any peripheral vision with them.

I don't have any problem switching back and forth. What I don't like about wearing glasses is it seems to make my eyes invisible to people. And I like my eye color.

I wear glasses and contacts, and while I have several cute pairs of glasses that I love (yay employee discount on Juicy Couture!), I *hate* wearing them on days when I have to go to Bio lab (or work in OUR lab). I'm always afraid I'm going to scratch my glasses looking into the microscopes and/or lensometers.

Oh, and BTW thanks for the memories guys. I was eating!

If you get an ant-reflective coating on your lenses, people will be able to see your eyes instead of what's being reflected off the lenses.

That's not the problem. It's a perception thing that people have a tendency to not look past your glasses. You know that old saw, "Boys never make passes at girls that wear glasses"? Well, it's kind of the same thing. I have never once had anyone comment on my eyes while wearing them, but I have had when not wearing them.

Not to mention that I have to make sure to curl my eyelashes when I'll be wearing my glasses, or they will bang into the lenses....which is very annoying.

[ImOnlyHuman]

Ummm....

Makes me so glad I have 20/15 vision....

Even when my eyesight is getting worse, it'll still be as good as the average human in the general population.

Guess no "eye crack" for me...

Which, in some circles (), is a damn lie.

As for contacts, I personally can't stand anything touching my eyes. Glasses also don't need more than a soft, lint-free cloth to clean, maybe with a splash of water or Windex. Try saying that about contacts.

Nooooo Windex!!! lol.... Deteriorates the lenses...

I think it's all a matter of confidence. I love all my different glasses. With or without them, I can't get men to stop trying to talk to me. (and please, I'm not trying to sound conceited or cocky).

[JuniorMintz]

Standard Windex is a huge NO for eyeglasses. Windex made with VINEGAR, however, *rocks* and is your friend.

(PS Thanks for the merge Ree!)

Personally, I don't believe in contact lenses. They are just so much hassle and so maintenance-intensive that to me, they just aren't worth it.

Yep. Glasses are easy, just put 'em on your face in the morning.

Plus the thought of putting contacts in my eye makes me shiver with revulsion. I can't watch someone else do it.

Dorothy Parker: "Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses."

But I think women in glasses are sexay.

[Nohbody]

Did I forget to mention my lenses are glass, not plastic?

Anyway, the wet stuff is only for extremes, usually a couple of swipes of the aforementioned lint-free cloth (or TP if absolutely necessary, as long as it's not John Wayne TP) suffice.

And cinema guy, definitely agree with your last. [HomerSimpson]Mmm, chicks with glasses...[/HomerSimpson

Well, I did get hit on at work yesterday by a couple of guys. And by guys, I mean methheads....and I wasn't wearing my glasses.

Oh, man, I hope you don't have a really strong prescription? I'd need a crane to keep mine up if they weren't the ultra-light, ultra-thin lenses.

They're not cokebottle lenses, anyway.

(As for why glass, my experience with plastic has been that even with "scratch resistant" coating, just from going about my normal day they acquire scratches all too quickly for my tastes.)

How can you not believe in contacts? I mean, you can prove contacts exist as well as you can prove anything else exists.

Okay, I'll go be a brat somewhere else.
