• A Tricky Nose to Fit

  I am very picky about my eyeglasses. It's not the color or even the shape of the frames that matters to me, but the bridge. (…)

• Smurfette Glasses

  I have been wearing glasses since I was 6 years old and have always hated it and found it to be a nuisance. My first pair of eyeglasses were pink with Smurfette on the side. (…)

• Sounds Like Glasses Are Made better Today

  I have used eyeglasses since 1964. I was only supposed to use them to read things on the blackboard. My first pair were rose tinted lenses, so I wore them all of the time. (…)

• A Second Pair

  I have two pairs of glasses. One pair is for driving at night to cut down on the glare of the lights, and one is for reading and magnification.
  I am somewhat nearsighted, and that is why I need them. (…)

• Nearsighted and Farsighted

  I have one eye that is near sighted and one that is far sighted, so I need my glasses for driving or close up work, such as reading or computer work. (…)

• A Pair That Lasts Through Prescription Changes

  I love my glasses so much that the last two times I needed a new prescription, I had the new lenses put in my old frames. (…)

• My Parents Chose My Glasses

  I started wearing glasses in elementary school. My parents chose my first and second pairs; both of which were huge and really nerdy. My first pair even had a double nose bar. (…)

• Does Brand Really Matter?

  I currently own a pair of Ralph Lauren polo frames. I purchased them in August of 2007 from our local Lensecrafters. They are square and are very mature looking. (…)

  For years I have worn wire frame glasses because they are light weight, thin and comfortable. (…)

• How Long Do Your Glasses Last?

  I have a pair of eyeglasses that I have owned for over five years. And, let me just say, that they are failing fast. (…)

• Eyeglasses At The Age of Five

• Learned to Love my Glasses

  I have had a very long love/hate relationship with eyeglasses since I first started wearing them when I was seven years old. I used to hate eyeglasses and being called four-eyes when I was a child. (…)

• Wearing Eyeglasses Since the Sixth Grade

  The first time I got eyeglasses I was in the sixth grade in the 1970's.  We went to a local same day service company and I had an examination by the optometrist.  He determined that I needed eyeglasses and we went to the downstairs eyeglass manufacturer.  I picked out the pair of frames that I wanted and I must have gone through at least 500 pair before I found the pair that I thought wouldn't make me look so "nerdy".  I found a perfect pair of wireframes that I thought would look "cool". (…)

• My Eyeglasses Define My Fashion

  I have worn glasses since I was 10 years old and I really need them to be able to see. I have always had problems because I am allergic to metal but all the plastic frames seem to be ugly! (…)

• Thin Metal Eyeglass Rims That Last a Lifetime

  I've been wearing this same pair of eyeglasses for six years. They are thin metal-rimmed with small oval lenses. It took me a while to find a pair that fit my face well. (…)

• Eyeglasses, Sunglasses, and Contact Lenses

  I recently started wearing my glasses, which I desperately needed.  I bought them at Lenscrafters with my benefits card.  I wear them all the time.  These glasses are Donna Karen style with wire rims, very feminine.  They are very comfortable to wear all the time compared to my old glasses.  Since those were my first ever pair of glasses, I didn't like wearing them because I didn't feel comfortable. (…)

• Eyeglass reflections - sunglasses

  I've owned two pairs of eyeglasses so far. My first pair was unimpressive, and my vision wasn't bad enough to bug me not wearing them. (…)
