Trayce is cute!

I have a pair of dark red emo glasses (so dark that they look black except in direct light), I love them.

My girlfriend wears my old pair of Christie Brinkley glasses to increase the cuteness factor sometimes, which I'm a fan of (they're tantalizing it says so on the inside of one of the earpieces).

I want to get that surgery done but I don't want my eyes pried open Clockwork Orange stylee while LAZERS shoot at them, it sounds horrifying.

Aw thanks Jordan *gets all embarrassed*

Yeah I wanted the lasik surgery once too, but I too am afeared of frickin' lasers in my eyeballs, and also Ive heard (see upthread if I recall) that it doesn't exactly have a great success rate. Maybe one day if the tecnology becomes such that it is pretty much guaranteed to work and never need re-doing, I'll think about it. But at several thousand an eye and a large chance yr eyes will go re-blind? No thanks.

my dad got the surgery, and was SO HAPPY to show folks the videotape from it.

A friend of mine had her eyes lazered, she said the worst thing was you could SMELL the eye-scum being burnt away

This is the only successful thread I've ever started!

I went to school with a guy whose eyes were permanently fuxored by lasik.

It's precisely because of the chance something could go wrong, as gabbneb notes -- an old neighbor of my family had to give up his medical practice after a bad operation -- that prevents me from ever seriously considering it.

one month passes...

I wear glasses because my nearsigth. I need my glasses all the moments in teh day because im blind withouth them. I would like dont need to wear, but now is impossible for me to walk withouth. At 10 years old i have nottice i couldnt see well the blackboard, but i use to advance to the first roots. When i was 12 i were unable to see in the first so the glasses were unevitable. -3 and -3.25
A year later my nearsight become to increase, so i needed glasses for everything, at the age of 16 i had -6.00 and´-6.50 so i get contacts.
No way to stop my myopia increases, now at 27, im wearing only glasses with -10.00 and -10.50.

six months pass...

i love that feeling when you put new glasses on for the first time and step outside. i felt like i had just done a shot of helium today.

I need new glasses.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:29 (nineteen years ago) link

Me too, adam.

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:30 (nineteen years ago) link

these are sweet, but i feel like my whole identity has changed.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Keep the old one for a handy alter-ego in emergencies.

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:33 (nineteen years ago) link

I get a lot of compliments from people on my glasses. This had led me to believe that my glasses are stupid. One girl said my glasses reminded her of gummy worms.

― Towelette Pettatucci (Homosexual II), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:34 (nineteen years ago) link

I wore the shittest, stupidest glasses in my early teens. WHY?

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:34 (nineteen years ago) link

i don't feel so emo anymore. i feel streamlined and futuristic.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:34 (nineteen years ago) link

when in actuality i am lumpy and trapped in the 90s.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Big old person type glasses, my eyes took up about 10% of them.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:35 (nineteen years ago) link

I need new lasik

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:35 (nineteen years ago) link

I used to think that either your vision was good, or it constantly deteriorated and you had to get stronger and stronger prescriptions. But then I had to get glasses in 1989, and I still have the same prescription 15 yrs. later.

Gummy worms?

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:40 (nineteen years ago) link

All the time, or 'just for reading'?
All the time

Are you short-sighted or long-sighted?
nearsighted, I call it.

When did you start wearing glasses?
2 1/2 years ago

Ever tried contact lenses? Or prescription sunglasses?
Not yet

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:41 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah i was surprised when the doctor told me my prescription hadn't really changed it the last four years. i figured i'd be totally blind one day.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:42 (nineteen years ago) link

I have my next eye op in a few weeks (Oct 1st), so I might have to finally (at the age of 45) have to get glasses for distance after that, but I think I probably won't.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:45 (nineteen years ago) link

I had perfect vision until I hit 21 and then BLIND AS BAT GOD SAYS HA etc.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:45 (nineteen years ago) link

i want to get contacts. im too vain. I NEED TO SHOW MY PRETTY FACE.

― Towelette Pettatucci (Homosexual II), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:46 (nineteen years ago) link

more girls should wear glasses. but they are awkward for the fuckin.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:46 (nineteen years ago) link

I have apparently damaged my eyes by wearng my lenses for prolonged amounts of time, so I need to back to glasses for a while.

Glasses hide my eyes, which are like my only good "asset".

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:47 (nineteen years ago) link

the sound of two pairs of glasses clackin together during a makeout session is like the nerd mating call

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Glasses are a turn on for me. makes girls look TEH SMRAT and stuff.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:48 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah i love girls with BIG BRAINS

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:50 (nineteen years ago) link

dumb girls are ok until they start talking

What about silent dumb girls with glasses?

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:53 (nineteen years ago) link

i think my glasses must make me look much older, too, because before i started wearing them all the time my age was always estimated about 3-4 years younger than my real age.. now it's estimated at 5-7 years OLDER. I LOOK MATURE.

― Towelette Pettatucci (Homosexual II), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:53 (nineteen years ago) link

SNARF! I used to have the Snarf toy. It might still be in a box in storage.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:54 (nineteen years ago) link

I keep forgetting to take mine off.

Stupid people never stop talking. Dumb girls with glasses is FALSE ADVERTISING.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:55 (nineteen years ago) link

"Sexual Air Supply"! Great.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:56 (nineteen years ago) link

i do like guys in glasses.

― Towelette Pettatucci (Homosexual II), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:57 (nineteen years ago) link

there seem to be fewer dumb guys in glasses than dumb girls in glasses

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:58 (nineteen years ago) link

though i'm bucking the trend

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 16 September 2004 21:58 (nineteen years ago) link

the last time i got an eye exam, i had 20/15 vision. my night vision has been getting weird lately, but i don't know if that's something that can be helped.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 16 September 2004 22:37 (nineteen years ago) link

i've worn them since kindergarten, age 5, and i definitely sort of think there is something to the theory that glasses can make your eyesight worsen. I'm nearsighted but with really bad astigmatism. i don't know what I would do if they didn't offer the thin lenses, because even those are pretty thick on me, enough to make the nosepads dig in. i let a friend try them on once and they were thereafter dubbed "time goggles" (my friend was stoned and apparently could "see through time" with my glasses).

― joseph pot (STINKOR™), Friday, 17 September 2004 02:40 (nineteen years ago) link

i thought it was obligatory to wear glasses while posting on message boards, n'est pas?

i needed glasses since ten, got them about sixteen, got a decent pair (finally) age 23, which cost half a month's pay.

but damn they are smooooth..

― Darraghmac, Friday, 17 September 2004 02:45 (nineteen years ago) link

― Darraghmac, Friday, 17 September 2004 02:50 (nineteen years ago) link
