I may be getting a pair of glasses, and this seems like a flimsy enough excuse for a thread. Post a picture of yours if you can. I'm going to be trying some on in the next few days. I don't even need them that much, but have some sort of inferiority complex and these will help me believe people think I'm smart. :)

Mine are oval shaped, thin black frame.


First set of glasses? They're freaky at first. When I got my first pair everything looked slanted. As in I'd sit stuff on a table or something and hold it there thinking it'd slide off. Not to mention being able to see around the edges is freaky also, feels like wearing goggles.

My eyesight is so bad though I have to wear them. 20/200 in my right eye.

Like these, 'cept black and without the top bar:

Cool ones (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/37/124245803_63cc3fa910.jpg?v=0), of course. :cool: :p

I have glasses like

Black, roundish and squareish.

Nice. :cool: I want ones like that; they will double my perceived IQ.

Small, black, squaring. Thoroughly dented and uneven due to being hit with a door (twice). Which wouldn't have been so bad had my face not been attached to them both times.

I dont wear glasses =]

Be careful about taking them off though, you'll shoot lasers from your eyes.

you sound like my sister..

"o, i want to look smart even tho i don't really need them"

it'll make your eyes worse :p so if you don't need them, don't get them. It causes your eyes to become lazy and require glasses.

Silver ovalish type

they should be right... been a year or so since i last went to specsavers, but i have quite photosensitive eyes (sensitive to light) and that can often make em hurt. especially looking at a computer screen like this on a bright day next to a window with the light on... :headbang:

I normally wear contacts, but I also have rimless glasses (http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/cabrawest/000_0286.jpg), just in case.

the light needs to be on in here, otherwise its all dark and depressing. stupid dingy office

You ever try looking into a computer screen for an extended length of time with the lights off? That's only going to make his problem worse. :p

I don't wear glasses anymore, but my grandmother gave me hers when she was dying......they are blue metallic cat's eye frames with engraved flowers on the sides and real cubic zirconias on the corner of the top of the frames. They are really pretty. If I have to get reading glasses (and I think I do) I might put the lenses in those frames, just because.

OMG, I found some similar

http://www.vintageiwear.com/pic134.lg.gif

the embellishment is a little different, but those look really almost like them.

I have a rimless pair, I say thats the way to go.

oi! :p

oh, my bad...

Mine are blue and pretty small. Got them in the fifth grade which was almoust seven years ago and they're full of scrathes. They're not even strong enough. Last time when I went to check my sight I was told to change them and that was one and a half year ago.

Ditto.

I don't wear glasses, because I have 20/10 vision.

These are what my glasses look like:

(bigger picture so you can see the glasses better) (http://img256.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1001497qy6.jpg)

Sort of squarish, thin rims, made of metal, with tortoiseshell on the front around the lenses.

For drinking, I have sets of Bodum double-walled glasses.

[snip]

I have those glasses, as well.

I have a thing for Sponger Bob glasses.

The Great State of Ohio requires me to where glasses (or contacts) whilst driving, so I have them, even though I don't need them.

I kinda need them, but I can get by probably just as well without them. They are for short-signtedness but I have congenital nystagmus so that makes my vision so shit the glasses won't make much of a difference. I want to be smart though, and glasses are the only way to do this.

I haven't worn my glasses in about 4 years, although I am required to by law, while driving. Screw corrective lenses. I can see just fine.

Mine are thin, black, rectangular rimmed glasses (http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g66/Boonytopia/DSC02636.jpg). The only picture I could readily find though was when I had my Movember moustache!

"shit-tinted", according to my high-school counsellor

Never mind that. Walk into the highest political office in your country with glasses and you will become senior policy adviser to the Prime Minister/Premier/President.

Glasses? Whatever we can steal from the local. I still am yet to find a pub I'd be willing to swipe an old school pint mug from. Oh, 20/20 vision here. :p
