Wearing glasses to look good

28-09-2004, 21:27

Does this happen?

My eyesight is 20/20 however I like the style of glasses, especially some of the new oval shaped petite ones which are available. I think they look really good.

Is it normal to buy glasses because of image?

I dunno, can you get some strange ones with 0 zoom? Where from?

I'm sure it must, must admit to needing glasses very soon, don't have a problem wearing them wether its for looks or needs.

0 zoom

I normally wear contacts, and rarely go out with out them but sometimes I like to wear my glasses for the look of them, I guess you could say its a similar situation to what you're talking about.

Your optician should be able to provide you with some, try a PM to AlanMelon, he's the resident optician I believe

Good. For some reason I always wanted glasses as a kid and I was told that people who wear them do so because they watch the tele too closely

So sometimes I'd watch the tele from 1/2 a metre away hoping I'd have to wear glasses

I know someone who's wife loves his glasses so now he's had corrective surgeory he still has to wear empty frames.

Yeah I used to wear cosmetic glasses in my 20s but now - I really do need proper ones

Don't think I've ever had an optician

I've had a few eye tests and that's it. I'll try to make an appointment...

Nope I was always told that you'd go blind if you played with yourself (not sure if the forum censor would let me get away with the true wording

), perhaps you should have "experimented" more
