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 first got glasses in 4th grade. Accidentally threw them out. Got contacts in 9th grade, and loved them, but growing allergies in my 20's & 30's forced me to get glasses that fit. With glasses in the right prescription, finally, I've found I don't mind wearing them, although contacts are still my day-to-day wear.
ReplyDeleteI first got glasses in the second grade I believe...was not fun being overweight, bad hair, braces and glasses.

I like to wear my glasses for a little while at night to rest my eyes from contacts. For some reason though I can't wear them much during the day or drive in them.

I've worn glasses for over 40 years. After struggling with contacts (and more recently, multifocal contacts) for years I have accepted the fact that glasses will be a part of me for the rest of my life (I am not a candidate for laser surgery). My biggest problem is that I see just fine close up, so do not wear the glasses when using the computer, at home, seeing up close...but need them for any sort of distance vision.

I found out I need glasses when I was about 18. I hated them and have worn contact lenses ever since. I do have reading glasses that I seldom wear.

Had to get glasses when I was in 6th grade. My parents told me that if I wore them for a year and took good care of them, I could get contacts instead. I've worn contacts ever since...

I got glasses in 4th grade, and refused to wear them (as much as I could get away with) because 1. They were identical to my Mom's glasses (HUGE ones) and 2. because all the kids teased me. I wear contacts during the day, and my glasses at night, but it's rare someone other than my child or husband sees me in my glasses. Ultra rare.

I can't wear glasses. Everytime I do my three year old breaks them. Never fails...even if I hide them...somehow he finds them and breaks them...or if they are on my face...he manages to break them...so glasses are a think of the past...until he is older. Right now I just wear contacts!

My glasses story is a sad one. My best friend got glasses in 3rd grade and I wanted them really bad after that. I failed my eye exam on purpose just to get glasses, and now I have to have them. Why do kids do such dumb things?
