[Closed] Got my first pair of glasses today!

Well, its a downward spiral after you get your first pair of glasses. I'm on my 3rd pair after 5 years, with each pair of glasses my prescription has got worse.

I did kind of know to expect it, I had become slightly short sighted after the last test two years ago but not enough to need a prescription. Glad I've got them know though, designer ones obv 8)

So you can see every detail of your other halfs RC helicopters now as they wing their way round the house... 😉

yup, sadly 😡

g/f wears glasses, she's hot. 😉

Glasses are truly crap 🙁 I hate the things. However they can look very cute on women 🙂

worn glasses since i was 6, you never fuly get used to them, but when i wore contacts a couple of years ago i looked wrong? Oh and at least you won't have the playground issues to deal with. Not just the comments, I broke 2 pairs in a week just running around.

Well, ben seems quite happy with them which is something. I've told a few people I've got them and they've replied 'I've got perfect vision so no worry for me 🙂 ' like I give a flying poop. 😯 lol

I quite like them, tempted to wear a skirt an high heels tomorrow, get in the spirit of the whole secretary thing, 🙄
But then again maybe not, I'll stick out like a sore thumb

Ive worn em since i was 3,i'm 36 now.

Grown to like them,enjoy

Speccy!!!

pictures this useless thread is without

I've had glasses for 30 years. wear contacts some of the time, if I can be bothered.
I will not be offering my eyes to the laser geezers

Specky, 4 eyes, et all, again heard it all before... I've had glasses since I was 9ish (39 next month), some lovely horn rimmed NHS specials.
Optician warned me mum, as a boy I might not want to wear them... **** it meant I didn't have to sit 3 feet from the TV to watch it, I loved em as it meant I could actually see properly, and have never had a problem wearing them.
Face it everyone gunna have to wear glasses (ok, maybe contact lenses) at some point, even those that get eye laser surgery....

eeek, just put this up on the book of face.

not quite the same shape as mine, but close.

They look good
Mine are Prodesign from Denmark.
Only had them since Sept, one eye is bad the other is fine. The bad eye started to fall asleep when i was driving. I am not even up to full lens strength yet so things will get even clearer next Sept. 8)

I've worn then since I was 10 - noticed I needed them when I started .22 shooting. Wear contact lenses for some sport (jumping when horse riding, anything outdoors in the rain, skiing) and occasionally for stylistic reasons. Have enjoyed becoming a multiple different glasses person since finding Glasses Direct (cheap!) Normally wear glasses when cycling but after having to ride blind (well ~3.5 dioptres out) on a particularly filthy wet and and muddy ride last year will be going with contacts and clear riding glasses for future wet rides. Yours look good!

Don't be distracted by all the details on the ground that you can now see when riding - I was amazed how well I flowed when I could only see the vague fuzzy outline of the approaching singletrack...

Has anyone ever seen RD and Emma82 in the same room?

For a moment i thought that was a double post..

😉

Mine are osiris as well, I actually quite like wearing them, they make my face look less fat/round 🙂 Don't wear them enough though as I just can't get into the habit. The difference they make for watching tv and films is quite amazing.

OMG sharki, how did you guess! I shaved my beard off an all!!

been wearing specs since I was 6 (now 40).

I started wearing contact lenses for sport and rainy days about 15 years ago and thats when my prescription stopped getting any worse , my optician suggested to me that many spectacle wearers peek out of the edges of their glasses and this causes strain on the eye which in turn can lead to the need for a stronger prescription.

All I know is my eyes aren't getting worse at the moment.

Emma, you look very nice with the glasses.

Why thank you mooman 🙂

[i]Has anyone ever seen RD and Emma82 in the same room?[/i]

Well I must fancy RD then because Emma looks hot in hers.
Come here Mr Dog, kissy kissy.

I stopped fancying her when he announced it was getting married.

Don't think I would cope with contact lenses, I've got a real about touching my eyeballs 😕

Is now a good time to post the picture of me in the bath and you can guess if it's me or Emma?

rocketdog's packet of fish panda is both epic and truly surreal.

It [u]was[/u] cod night 😉

Worn specs since 1981. My prescription has been stable.

Got my first pair of glasses today!

Not taking the piss but did you get a 2nd opinion before you bought your Gregory's?

Worn them since I was 13. What a joy that was at School. Don't notice them any more. Contacts for cycling are a must as there is nowt worse than steamy windows.

Fish panda?

Don't do it rocket-not the bath picture, the cat will be well and truly out of the bag then

Not taking the piss but did you get a 2nd opinion before you bought your Gregory's?

Yes thanks 🙂

Been wearing them for reading/computer only (or close-up,fine,detail work with small screws, etc)for 15 years now. First 10 years I had to get a new, strong prescription every couple years, but it has leveled off and has stayed stable the last 5 years.
Thankfully I don't need them for distance, so can bike without them (do keep an old pair in the camelback in case of trailside repairs.

Start saving for prescription Oakleys.

I got an eye test last year. The optician say's 'yeah your going to need a prescription' sende me out to the front shop. The waiting salesperson, (this was Vision Express btw) tells me I'd need to part witht the thick end of £300 for various eyewear, none of it Oakley.

I baulk and decide to go to the opticians up the road before I splash the cash. He does, a more comprehensive test and informs me I have 20/20 vision. Not saying thats what happens all the time. Just sharing is all.

OP, all the best with your new bins. 8)

I went to Vision Express once and was wholly unimpressed with the amount of time they spent checking my eyes, mainly with an automated machine. SpecSavers did tests for three times as long, again with a machine but the optician was making the alterations. The latter was much more reassuring.

Oh, thought you meant second opinion on the glasses I chose. No I didn't go to a second opticians but I'd say they were right in their assessment, the difference is immense. They certainly didn't push me to buy a certain price range pair but the more expensive I went the more comfy they were. Didn't need varied focals??!! either but apparently they are more expensive
