is there a reason why people wear glasses from?

i try it out 6 months ago & realize i look pretty good in them, i dont need to wear glasses at all but i find that i look less young with them on

u could say this is kind of my reason for it, but im just asking is this just an asian hipster trend or something like that (seriously i sometimes think i get sucked in too trends like this for no reason)

asian hipster with glasses checking in. i wear them because my idol wears them.

[Phuck Yu]

just wear w/e u like

Well as an independent film producer, I find the black lines provided by my thick-framed tom ford glasses give me a view almost identical to that of my 16 by 9 professional recording camera. I leave the glass out to circumvent the potential reflection/glare issues, and so women can see my beautiful hazel eyes unadulterated, in all their natural beauty.

Also, they black frames go well with my black moustache.

[bcrdukes]

I like the extra bit of douchebaggery it adds to ones dry, soulless personality. It's a nice touch.

[nabs]

don't be a dick and wear glasses with no lenses though. I fucken hate people that do that.

I wear my glasses because I have to, and I don't like wearing them but im nearly blind if I don't.

[bcrdukes]

Wow, okay there, Judgey McJudge. :inoutugh:

[SB7]

I have black-rimmed glasses which are about 33% hipster but also have a slight prescription, under 100 for each eye. I wear them once in a while, but I feel like it makes my eyesight worse, but not while i'm wearing them, but afterwards. Like my 19/20 vision is suddenly not good enough, 1080P only bitch, 720P is for suckas!

[ae101]

well i never had to wear glasses as i never had a serious vision problem, but i do like how i looking with the glasses on (with the frame that is)

Good for you (seriously).

To test: if you have the bravado: ask random female strangers if you look better with glasses or without.

Go from there.

That's all that matters, wear them.

I'm guessing dino does the same.. lol ^^^

We should rename this thread "People I want to punch in the face and break their glassless frames each and every time I see them"

[Mr.HappySilp]

Need to wear glasses. Without them I am pretty much blind lol. Try contacts before and I just don't like the feeling of having nothing in front of my eyes (like protection I guess), also my eyes get really dry and unconfortable when using contacts.
The good thing about glasses is that I can wear them all day (contacts usually you can wear up to 18hours before you have to take them off) and is easy to put on.

[Iceman-19]

This isnt about people that need and wear glasses. This is about retards that wear empty frames like hipster phaggots.

[ae101]

not everyone is a hipster lol that wear frames

would beg to differ.

wearing frames/glasses when you don't need to?

I'm legitimately curious; what's so bothersome about it?

I choose other accessories, clothes, and a hair cut to achieve to a certain look and not strictly for function; I don't see glasses any differently.

[nabs]

^^^
I consider it a disability because it took away my ability to go into a career I have always wanted to be in. Why would you be mocking someone's disability. I know a lot of people wear glasses nowadays for legitimate reasons however making glasses a fashion trend is like people limping around in crutches because it looks cool. That is how I see it.

It angers me when I see it because, those people don't know how its like to have to NEED to wear them all the time. They are very generally expensive and a lot of people that NEED them cannot afford them (thank jeebus for clearly contacts). I think its a stupid trend that needs to stop.

[bcrdukes]

Must it have to be said?

Haters gonna hate.

[dinosaur]

Nah man, I just don't waste my hate on what people wear.

People wear what they want to wear.

But its cool if you do, I guess.

Question:

I have reading glasses. Some times I NEED them, other times I don't.

How does this make you feel?

[nabs]

If you need them then you need them.

But I think i've made my views clear. its not my thread to jack, sorry OP. That was my opinion.

[MindBomber]

Hipsters didn't turn glasses into a fashion trend. The wearers of prescription glasses turned them into a fashion trend. The abundance of designer frames is evidence. Glasses are thus not strictly medical devices, like crutches or a prosthetic. In following, wearing glasses is not mocking a disability like faking a limp. It's not a unique trend. In the past canes were made fashionable and not strictly medical. I necessarily use a cane some days and am not offended by this trend. It's unfortunate your disability's altered your career path; my disability altered my career path. It sucks, I know.

It's outright silly to say, "they are very generally expensive and a lot of people that NEED them cannot afford them." A starving person in Africa needs food, but you still buy concert tickets, instead of sending every spare dollar to aid relief.

OMG POOR YOU! I feel SO SORRY FOR YOU! Your life MUST be difficult! Life is just SO UNFAIR sometimes, right? I'll pray for you 24/7.

[trancehead]

(first of all: i think hipsters look greasy)

do i need to wear that bracelet?
that watch?
those earrings?
the gel in my hair?

its just another thing to put on ourselves to distinguish ourselves from our monkey ancestors. why stop at hipster glasses

imagine if we saw a pack of monkeys wearing skinny jeans and oversized glasses trouncing into the club where other monkeys spend money to buy liquids that distort their sense of vision, smell, and consciousness. all together at the same time

[MindBomber]

I should note, nabs.

As (almost) always, I totally respect your opinion. I happen to disagree, but I respect it. :)

[ae101]

is this just an asian trend, cuz most of the time i only see asians wear it

[MindBomber]

I know a couple non-Asians who wear them, so no.

[ae101]

minebomber what frame do u wear

(MM-design logo not included)

[MindBomber]

They're pretty close to the bottom/middle pair.

[Iceman-19]

Wearing glasses for fashion is one thing. Wearing a set of frames? You look like a fucking moron.

[ae101]

but some ppl dont need glasses but wants to wear them for fashion, cuz seriously the lens are fashionable but the frames are

no point in wearing glasses with fake lens when the only fashionable things are the frames, but thats only if u dont need glasses at all

[Hondaracer]

That's absolutely retarded.

Is it though?

Isn't is just like any other fashion trend and accessory?

As trancehead pointed out....do you wear a watch? earrings? What about a hat?

Bet the first male who wore diamonds in his ears was ridiculed. Now look at it...

If I wear a non-utilitarian bow in my hair, am I "absolutely retarded"?

[Iceman-19]

Yes, empty frame glasses scream "HIT ME PLEASE".

Sunglasses, but only when its sunny out.

[bcrdukes]

You mean you don't wear them indoors?

For Fucks Sake. You deserve a sucker punch. I thought you were cooler than that.

[Iceman-19]

Sometimes its just too bright inside and I am forced to wear my sunglasses at night.

[bcrdukes]

Ok, that's better.

You still deserve a kick to the balls though. You can never be Corey Hart you filthy, greasy hipster.

Haha.

I have the impression that wearing glasses with strings in 1995 was WAY WAY past the periodic trend.

I think... that the strings trend was around late 1980s to early 1990s.

[radioman]

:okay:

I recently picked up a wheelchair and removed the wheels. I have to use the seatbelt and walk bent over at a 45 degree angle, but its so fucking cutting edge.

Dude, that is WAY cool.

[Mr.HappySilp]

bumping an old thread but have anyone order their glasses frame from clearly contacts and what's your experience?

Is time to get a new pair and clearly contacts seems really cheap on frames. I am not sure if I can get my lens local and have the shop install them on frames I got elsewhere. My eyesight are pretty bad so I need to use these special lens (not the cheap ones clearly contacts use) which cost over $300 just for the lens. Trying to save some money by getting a cheaper frame online.

[bcrdukes]

The frames are cheap, as in, they meet the bare minimum when it comes to quality and standards. I would go as far as to say that fit will be sub-par as well.

If you have expensive lenses, I would not pair them up with a set of cheap frames. On the other hand, some people just don't seem to care and live with what they have from Clearly Contacts (nothing wrong with that.)

Clearly is pretty expensive now. I had a good experience with them when their offer was first frame was like $15 or something. They were shipped within the week and i loved the frames... They were my fave til i lost em.

Now i use ZenniOptical.. From the states. They have a whole selection of frames that are 6.95 USD w/ single vision lens included. My first order i got 4 pairs..incl shipping it was like $55USD. Shipped in about a week and a half and they included the cases and lens cleaner cloths. I recommended it to my boss at my old work and he has bifocals. He was able to get 2 pairs for about $220USD w bifocal lens. Still he said it was reasonable cuz normally 1 pair here would be $400+.
Maybe try Zenni and subtotal it and see if youd save some $?

I recommend ZenniOptical for any single vision people. Saves a ton of money! :fullofwin:

[Mr.HappySilp]

Thanks! I guess I have to for the frame at the shop then...

[6793026]

^ to be honest, i order via aliexpress.

frame $12.50
prescriptive lens 12.50

air shipped to my taxes in 27.00 USD

[TOS'd]

Most places are like that but unfortunately low priced lenses are only for like under 2.00 power. Being at 5.00, FeelsBadMan

I just priced out a pair for my mom, pretty decent pricing, plus since she's behind a computer all day I can get her the Blue UV blocking lens as well.

Did you have it shipped to a US parcel place, like 5D?
