My loving glasses broke. And I'm not some weenie who only uses glasses for reading and my calligraphy classes. No, I am loving blind as a bat and without my glasses pose a danger to anyone in my immediate vicinity. Now of course I could have gone and gotten them fixed, sure, but I was seriously just getting ready to leave town when the little nose piece thingy broke off. Not at the pad which we all know is an easy fix but on the metal stem that connects the pad to the glasses. Now I have to wear some loving goony-rear end elvis costello double-dorkus glasses and I'm upset. I look like I care what I look like and, frankly, that is just unacceptable. Do you wear glasses? What are your backups like? Do you hate them the same way I hate mine? Are you some kind of degenerate that wears contacts? Tell me about them vision enhancers goons.

I wear contacts, which are cool because the new designs do not fall out (unless you swim without goggles) and you dont need apparatus on your face that can fall off, get scratched, or break. Downside is that you have to buy more periodically. I do have a pair of glasses just in case

I'm pretty sure I got scammed by BIG EYEGLASSES as a child because I was told by the eye doctor that I had to wear glasses all throughout elementary school. but then I just kinda stopped wearing them because wearing glasses sucks, and every time I've gotten my vision tested since it's been perfect. quite the racket they're running imo

My next pair will be as light as these, but I hope they don't make me look like an old grandma again.

I just embrace the double-dorkus and wear some Warby Parker frames OP. They're cheap so I usually just order two colors so I have a backup. I need to re-up my contact lenses and switch to dailies so I can wear them when I'm hiking again. My glasses usually fog up halfway up the trail and I have to take them off until I get to where I'm going.

The real question is, how come all back up glasses morph into Elvis Costello/ 80's gold metal squares once they're hidden in their case at the back of the sock drawer? I would never have bought these hideous things!

I mostly wear contacts so when I do wear glasses I go as nerdy as possible with ray ban sunglass frames  you end up looking accidentally cool just because you have to have some self confidence to wear big black plastic frame glasses

I buy multiple pairs of glasses every time I get a new script. I usually end up wearing one of the other pairs every day after a year or so

I have an old pair I keep in the car and I need to get my eyes checked because my current pair are 2 years old. No clue if the old pair will even allow me to drive at this point, shits bad.

I wear glasses with a special filter in them that makes it better to stare at a screen for hours on end. At least that's what the guy selling them told me. And maybe it's just my dumb brain thinking that, but if I don't wear them, my eyes hurt at the end of the day.

I wear glasses, have no backups, and my cat likes to gnaw on them so I have to remember to put them someplace he won't find them when I go to sleep. He doesn't realize that he's being a jerk and he doesn't understand me when I tell him. Or at least he pretends he doesn't understand me.

I woke up in a hospital with my wallet and keys missing. My glasses were recovered and they were still under warranty, so the flat as pancake glasses got me a new one that I scratched up top right on a door. I only use them to look cool for no reason. My back up glasses is the way to future glasses: light weight and have GPS so I won't lose them. Zeluth fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Mar 3, 2020 |

Gonna be honest LAP. They don't look that bad. Actually, if I saw you walking down the street with them I wouldn't give it a second thought. Literally A Person posted:These are, for all intents and purposes, the exact frames I am wearing right now. As a former Optician, this irks the hell out of me, because no, no they are not. But that's me being overly pedantic about it after years and years of people trying on glasses that are totally different and being all "They look the same to me.", even though, to someone who hasn't stared at every conceivable frame shape, style, color, and material, 8 hours or more a day, for 7 years, yeah, they're pretty similar. I've put a fuckton of glasses on a fuckton of faces. What I'm trying to say it, dude, they look alright. I know what I speak of. Jay_Zombie fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Mar 3, 2020 |
