Back in the day when I first started wearing glasses, I found every reason that I could to not wear them. From squinting to contact lenses, I did just about anything so that my frames would stay sitting on the shelf.
Twenty years later and here I am, in love with my eyeglasses. The convenience, the time (not spent sticking things into my eyes or cleaning things out of them), the style... it just all works for me now.
The only thing that doesn't? Cheap lenses. Having never paid as much attention to the lenses as the style and color of the frames, I didn't realize what a difference they could make and have always just put up with the scratches, smudges, and glare.
But, now having been introduced to Crizal lenses by Essilor, it's not hard to understand why they are worn and trusted by more than 260 million people all over the world.

The differences between traditional and Crizal lenses are truly impressive!

I wore glasses for a bit, then moved to contacts... now back to glasses (working in a bar made glasses better since my eyes were so dry due to the smoke)

I've been wearing glasses for about 20 years now. I'm not thrilled that I wear glasses, but accept that I have too. I do like that the frame choices are getting nicer & nicer as time goes on.
Thanks so much.

I'd worn glasses since second grade. And no, of course I didn't like them!
In 9th grade I got contact lenses - WOW I could really see well!
THEN while I was still working, a bunch of people I know had Lasix! One of my friends told me that she'd be willing to drive me to have my eyes done. A year later, I asked if she had really meant it, and she said yes!
So I did, and even after a few years I am so amazed at being able to see clearly!
My eye doctor laughed when I told him that having this surgery was a cost effective measure - because I know bi-focals are expensive, and I was getting close to needing them!
I now have driving glasses and reading glasses, but rarely use either. Fortunately they were both bought when I was employed and had insurance!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Had glasses since I was 8, and never looked back (and before I was 8, I *couldn't* look back).
dwarzel at hotmail.com
Gramma says: Yes I wear glasses. Blind without them, for real. And NO I don't embrace them! grrr I hate them. Wore contacts since I was 13, but suddenly- those began to be irritating! Am forced to wear the glasses. I NEED and desire some crizals!!! Wow. Was reading about them. I am so sad so many contests are on Facebook- I simply am not a Facebook sort of person. So can only enter chances like this! Thanks
Spacemonkey907 (at) yahoo dot com
I started wearing glasses when I was about 8 years old. After a few years, I switched to contact lens, and used those for a while, but now I'm back to glasses. I've never loved wearing glasses, but I'm certainly glad that they help me see.
I have worn glasses since I was a kid. I have never been able to wear contacts so I NEED my glasses, can't see without them.
I've worn glasses for about 57 years (since I was six) and they are just a part of me.
Thanks for the contest.

I've worn glasses for the last twenty years or so. At first I was devastated and felt like I had to hide my face anytime I had them on, but over time I grew to enjoy them as part of my identity, and now they feel fully integrated into my whole style. Thanks!
