.. monocles? Any other kinda eyewear?
(Glasses nerd here. HURRR)
I should. Sitting in front of a computer more than what is healthy for the last two years has severely ruined my eyesight. I have already gotten a prescription but I couldn't get myself to buy the actual glasses. I am vain as fuck and would rather stumble around in the world half blind than look more of a dork than I already do.
Yep. glasses. Fuckers keep breaking as well, in the exact same way. I really should get a different type of frame next time
I don't wear glasses. And I wear them, too. My eyesight keeps fluxing between usable and blurry every few months. I keep glasses around for when I need 'em.
I got my first pair when I was 10 weeks old. I still wear glasses, as I don't like contacts and laser surgery is still a bit too risky for me.

contact lenses are for you. or lasic? maybe a lorgnette? monocle? two monocles (binocle)? pince-nez? rimless glasses? the options are legion.
Oh man, if you went hardcore 1910 on our asses and got a pince-nez with a choker collar, monumental moustache and a "wickedly short" kurtka to go with it, I'm quite convinced you'd make it into the pantheon of net-cultural heroes.

the interrobang is a whimsical piece of suburban 1960s americana !!
I'm not >>11 but the interrobang is accessible via unicode U203D

How delightfully obscure.

I wonder how different people respond to having a frame ever-present at the edge of their vision. It's almost like everything you see is being processed and displayed to you on a monitor... everything's one step further away from reality.
I can see around the frames just fine. As with regular vision, there's a clear centre surrounded by less defined hints at the fringe of vision. Only the central clarity's more exeggerated.
I have very narrow, nearly oblong glasses, but I don't notice frames at all
after a few minutes of wearing them - like many other people too (which leads to
the run-of-the-mill-joke "where are my glasses?" "you're wearing them HA HAAAAA"
occasionally coming true). Then again they're very thin sterling rims, not 5000
ton Stalinets Artillery Dreadnought battlegoggles. However, the _one step
further from reality_ feeling sounds somewhat familiar, only the other way
round: I like to not wear glasses in general, not for vanity, but because the
instant gaussian blur layer makes for extreme relaxation.
Why do they call them glasses, if the lenses are plastic?
They were probably made of glass originally.
Why do they call them glasses, if the name is already used for drinking vessels?
That's why my glasses only have a frame at the top. I can't stand it otherwise. For some reason I don't mind it with my sunglasses (prescription sunglasses! I feel so swanky). I only use them for things at a distance, which get a little blurry.

Glasses are properly called "spectacles", but people are lazy and like to avoid words with more than two syllables.
In German it's "Brille", from beryllus, a crystal.
I wear glasses. Top rim frames as well. I see them pretty much as an accessory like stuff you wear and personally find certain girls sexy with them than without them. Yup, I think I've been too submerged in Japanese moe-subculture. orz

In Swedish it's 'glasögon' (glass-eyes) however they're also nicknamed 'brillor'[base form being plural, singular not existant]
I wear glasses,I like the look of them a lot, though contacts would be cool to have. Maybe contacts + glasses with straight glass/plastic in it instead of real lenses. The point? To see even without the glasses, or at the areas the glasses don't cover. Plus, contacts can have fancy patterns and stuff.
yes me in wear glasses but im hopeing to get the op to fix my eyes
i wear very narrow sem-square frames which ship with built in polarized sunglass attachments.
here's a link.. but it doesn't really show how narrow the frames are from top to bottom (max height of the lenses is 2 cm).

p.s. eyewear is very stylish.. but it's propensity to get dirty (weather glasses or contacs) is really annoying.
I'd love to see them make glasses with an ultrasonic lens cleaner built in to assure proper cleanliness at the tap of a button.
