What I don't like about glasses

I keep noticing the frame of my glasses. Grrr Every thing seems disjointed. I hope I get used to it soon.

 

They are cute though.

 

Sometimes I wear my glasses and wonder where they are. Then realize i'm wearing them.

 

seriously though, you think they'd figure out a way to make it better without the frames.

we just a bunch of happy monkeys.

 

Those are cute, my glasses are ten years old and have been super glued over 20 times.. I need to get new ones but it's like the janky ones I have, they have a special place in my heart and I just can't let go....

 

One of the TV ads I saw for a big-name eyeglass company (Lenscrafters?) showed dozens of people with very different types of faces and they were all wearing exactly the same style of glasses. Surely they can manufacture something that is better suited to each person's face.

.

 

Those are nice. I want my new pair to look similar to that... whenever I can get a new pair.

 

My glass frames are wider at the top then at the bottom so they slightly skew everything. My comp monitor looks wider at the top than the bottom. My world looks like a Ren & Stimpy feature...

 

Sometimes I think I would like to have to wear glasses, all the time I notice there are many people who wear them and look great wearing them, so I'm jealous.....

 

I heard that John Lennon wore those round glasses but didn't need glasses. Something like he used them in a film once and liked them, so he kept wearing them.

.

 

I wonder if they make glasses that transition (turn dark in sunlight) but that aren't corrective lenses. That might be useful for me.

.

 

i don't like how i can't lie down wearing mine, because, you know, they get pushed to the side. sucks if i'm watching a movie or something and wanna lie down on the couch.

 

super cute Ang. Love them.

 

Don't be jealous. I look like a total dork when I wear mine.




Thanks Bella.


Shroomie I bet you look best with the old pair. I couldn't imagine you in glasses that look like everyone elses.

 

yes, you can.

a lens without power in it is called a plano, and you can go into just about any dispensary with a lab, and get a set of photochromic* planos put into just about any frame you could imagine (some places won't touch non opthalmic grade frames)

*in most opthalmic plastics photochromics are called transitions, there are other trade names, but basically they are all photochromic, and come in different colors and versions, photochromic lenses usually will not darken in cars as most modern windshields have a laminate layer of polycarbonate which is 99.98% non-uv transmissive, being that UV is the mechanism by which photochromics photochrome, well, yeah.

<I make glasses>

edit: btw, that halston frame looks like cellulose acetate (zyl) which is one of the nicer materials to have glasses out of.

 

You will get used to it. Try to get as large a frame (as in bigger lenses) as possible without it looking stupid because the smaller the lens, the smaller the field of vision and the more you notice the frame.

 

it's actually more complicated than that, by a wide margin.

The higher the prescription the smaller the optical center of the lens, the easier it is to induce prism.

prentice's law

 

Eh mine are just reading glasses. I think that's why they are taking longer to get used to.

 

/wonders base curve, material, prescription, decentration....../

 

totally faceeater, the glasses in the 80's just felt invisible once they were on
