I just went to the eye doctor and found out I have to get glasses! I've always had great vision until now :(

Question

I'm upset and a little apprehensive... can anybody cheer me up about this?

Answer 1

girl glasses arent a bad thing at all... ive had glasses since 4th grade.... a few years later i got contacts but after having them for about 2 years im going back to glasses... i think anybody can look beautiful in glasses if they find the right ones for their face... dont worry about it.... you'll be gorgeous....

Answer 2

I have strabismus myself. My parents put me in glasses when I was 3, and maybe they patched me too, I don't remember. I've always worn glasses. I quit in middle school because I didn't want them anymore, and by then I had gained control over my lazy eye pretty well. I chose to get glasses again in college and even now I'm 25 and it still goes lazy when I'm tired or have to focus on objects too close to my face. At one point when I was about 10, they offered to give me surgery to correct the muscles and fix it, but I was too scared to do it, but looking back I wish my parents had made me. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Nothing wrong with glasses - the right kind can make you look cuter and being able to see better is usually a plus. You can try contacts but, as a former user, I find glasses a lot more convenient, easier to keep clean, healthier and, if asked a question I need to think about, I can always take them off and pretend to polish them while thinking of an answer.

Answer 4

Sure. I had 20/10 vision or better when I was young, but when I started college and hitting the books, my vision started declining. I wear glasses now, but am thinking about lasic surgery. I just want to find out if they can restore my vision to what it was first. Don't worry, there is hope, and some glasses look COOL! Try some with a silver frame and blue mirror tint finish! :D

If u don't want to wear glasses ask for contacts i did and now i am happier i didn't like wearing glasses because then people thought i was a nerd so i got contacts and now I'm treated with respect u can also get colored contacts that i hear make your eyes look cool well good luck!

Answer 6

There's nothing to be upset about...r u upset that you won't look good with glasses on or that people would make fun of you...lady, if you don't take care of eyes...who will? Doctor knows best and u should follow the advice ASAP before the vision goes blink!blink!...

I don't mean to sound rude...its after all your health you should be more concerned about, but since you asked, so here r my two cents :-)

Answer 7

I know how you feel....but think of glasses as yet another way of expressing your personality! Most people end up having to wear glasses at some point in their lives. Here are a few tips: get frames that have flexible temple stems so they don't break easily, get scratch proof lenses and get the special tint that makes the glasses change to sunglasses in the light. If you can afford it, get a couple different pairs to further express yourself and to have on hand if a pair breaks.

Answer 8

I wear glasses during meetings or theatres (or any place where I have to see far away) and when I drive. I get compliments on my glasses just like I do with any other accessory like a bag or shoes. There are plenty of stylish frames. I like wearing my glasses, although I don't have to wear them all the time.

You can always get contacts or lasik surgery if you can't stomach the idea of glasses.

Answer 9

Glasses aren't too bad. About a year ago I was told i had 20 50 vision. Just get some o2 optics contacts. I were them and they only bother me right when i put them in, or really late at night. But whenever I'm at home i just wear glasses. You might hate them at first, but after awhile you get used to them.


P.S. Your avatar looks hot.

Answer 10

there are a lot of cool glasses out there. Pick some out that are really cute. You might just get compliments. Or you could get contacts. :)
Cheer up, you'll look good.
