<p>BCeagle can you be more specific about those night time driving glasses. I have crizal anti reflective coating on verilux lenses and still have problems with halos and lights . Night time driving has become big issue. What coating do thou have ?</p>
<p>I called my vision care place and they told me that they are called “Night Eyes” but I couldn’t find them on the web. They glasses have a coating and the power is decreased by, I believe, .25 power. At night, your pupils get bigger which changes the relative geometry between your eyes and your lenses. I know that the lower power helps as things are no longer blurry when I use my day lenses at night. The idea of the coating is to make things sharper and reduce glare. That said, there are warnings on using coatings for night driving.</p>

<p>Considering the chunk of change I just dropped on glasses, I would hope they look “stylish”, “sexy”, and every other glorious thing imaginable… :)</p>
<p>At the very least, I hope BC’s Nike stock gets a bounce.</p>
<p>I was diagnosed with farsighted astigmatism in first grade. Got some of those adorable sky blue plastic frames. I disliked them and could see well enough to get by without them until my mid-thirties when I couldn’t pass the DMV test. Still only wore them for driving.</p>
<p>Now I’m looking at 50 in a couple of weeks. I still don’t wear my glasses all the time but time of usage has greatly increased. Can’t read a thing without them.
I have a pair of Ray-Ban prescription big plastic tortoise shell sunglasses that I love and Ralph Lauren dark rectangular plastic regular glasses. I have progressive lens in both. I’m definitely a fan of the plastic frames. I would love to have multiple pairs because I’m constantly taking them off and on and laying them down somewhere. </p>
<p>love those Darby Parkers. My maiden name is Parker. Maybe that’s a sign I should have some. I have a slim face so sometimes it’s hard to find the plastic frames I love in small sizes. As long as I can see well enough to do outdoor sports w/out glasses, I don’t mind wearing them other times. </p>
<p>On the whole I think glasses can be fashionable with the right style choice.</p>
<p>If you wear glasses, multiple frames definitely make life easier if you leave what you need where you need them. I work at home, in the office and on the road but, before getting the trifocals, I had to take a pair with me when working remotely. The problem would be where I forgot to bring them or I forgot to put them back at home or the office.</p>
<p>When you need multiple frames - cheap becomes your friend.</p>
<p>I can use drug store readers as they are good enough for reading papers, books and tablets but I get a headache if I use them for too long.</p>
<p>I’m personally amazed at how much frames cost but it can be a very personal thing.</p>
<p>I’ve worn glasses for 30 years, with a brief 6 month exception for contacts around my wedding. I think many people look great in glasses, and there are some great frames out now. I buy nice frames because I wear the same pair all day, every day, for every occasion. I wish I could afford a “glasses wardrobe,” but it’s not in the budget.</p>
<p>I wear a nerd pair, black frames. It’s like, yeah I am wearing reading classes. They look cute with blond hair. My husband used to laugh st me in my glasses, until he had to start borrowing them. I just go for reading glasses at this point, fashiony ones with some bling, and various colors for my outfits.</p>
<p>I also changed the font size on my text message. My daughters used my phone, and were like, wow mom, thats some big font. But it is so much easier that way.</p>
<p>Now all we need is for restaurants to have loaner glasses with lights so we can read the menus.</p>
<p>Oh, and I have a magnifying glass so I can read the back of cable boxes, credit cards, and fine print.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s a lot.</p>
<p>Though if you have multiple pairs of glasses for different uses, it would help to have glasses with different enough frames to be easily distinguishable (without your glasses on).</p>
<p>My 13 year old has been known to wear 3D glasses from the movie without the lenses. In public. This is not a fashion choice I will be adopting! </p>
<p>However, I do think that glasses can look attractive and can enhance a person’s appearance. I wouldn’t go so far as to wear glasses just for appearances, but I wouldn’t go to contacts just for appearances either. I’d choose the one that’s more comfortable and gave me the best vision.</p>
<p>If you wear glasses, why not do a surgery correction? It should cost less than many pairs of glasses I guess.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>I generally tag by location.</p>
<p>It took a lot of effort to find a frame that fits and guys just keep buying the same thing when it works well. They don’t make the frame any longer so I am recycling frames.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Fear that someone screws up. That’s a big reason many people do one eye at a time.</p>
<p>Glasses for nearsightedness since age 9. Got contacts as I started HS and was never seen in glasses for years. Then in my late 20’s, I became allergic to contacts and was back in glasses. I had PRK surgery 14 years ago.</p>
<p>Today I need reading glasses and my distance vision has deteriorated slightly. I own 3 pair of progressives all in stylish frames. I also have progressive sunglasses which I wear when I am outside unless it is dark or pouring.</p>
<p>I would prefer not to wear glasses at all. Some people look good in them but I look better without.</p>
<p>As someone who recently graduated from high school, I can say that the kind of glasses with the thick frames (like the black-framed 3D movie glasses with clear plastic) are considered “fashionable” for young guys (to the extent that “fashionable” applies to a guy). It’s sort of a hipster look.</p>
<p>I think this trend follows the same trend that has made aviator sunglasses unfashionable for young guys/girls and has made wayfarer sunglasses (more square-ish shaped) fashionable once again - it taps in, again, into the sort of hipster look.</p>
<p>My college roommate got “surgery correction”. Not only did it not help 100% she now has horrible dry eyes and must use eye drops all the time. I realize bad outcomes are relatively uncommon, but I really don’t need to be annoyed by my eyes.</p>
<p>I started wearing (soft) contact lenses about 35 years ago, and for many years didn’t like to be seen in public wearing glasses, because I thought I looked so much better with contacts. I still kind of feel that way, but for the last couple of years I’ve found that I can’t wear contacts for as many hours as I used to without my eyes beginning to be uncomfortable. And even with the monovision lenses (one less corrective than the other), I find it quite difficult to read when I’m tired or the light isn’t good, and end up having to use reading glasses anyway, with great frequency. And I don’t see as well at a distance as I do with glasses, either. So I’ve been wearing my glasses – with progressive lenses, which I got used to very quickly – more and more, especially at work, where I don’t really care very much what I look like! </p>
<p>I certainly don’t consider my glasses to be “fashionable” in any way. I have only the one pair, with the same wire frames I’ve been using forever. Any frames that are even remotely dark remind me too much of the horn-rimmed glasses I wore as a child, from the time I first needed glasses in fourth grade.</p>
<p>I started wearing glasses in 4th gd too and I even think I wore horn rims in maybe 6th grade because I was sick of wearing pastel blue cat eye ones!</p>
<p>I’m not sure how uncommon bad outcomes are with corrective surgery. I’ve heard lots of tales of dry eyes (which is particularly a problem for menopausal and postmenopausal women) and halo problems with night vision. I am particularly interested in knowing what happens as the eye ages–are people who’ve had this surgery more or less prone to cataracts, for instance.</p>
<p>I wore soft contacts for many years and then quit while on maternity leave with my first baby. I never went back and have stuck with glasses ever since. I just look better in glasses, or at least feel as if I do. I love different frames and I also like that the new lenses can come with UV protection so they help prevent cataracts, as well as sun damage around the delicate skin around the eyes.</p>
<p>The problem with glasses though is - peripheral vision, and when I exercise I sweat and they don’t stay on my face.</p>
<p>Can’t have surgery either, I am way too nearsighted.
I also have noticed that eye Drs are still wearing glasses.
