lenses is there an alternative. It feels weird if I have my glasses of for a minute after I have them off. I have worn them for 5 years if I stop wearing them will my body get used to not wearing them?

I had the same issue as you. Unfortunatly your eyes will never adjust themselves to have good vision on their own. You can help train them to be a little better though. There are books and charts you can buy that help your eyes focus better on certain points of reference. Just like working out your muscles will make them stronger, same thing with you eyes. I have not personally tried it because I was told it takes upwards of 6 months of regular eye excersize to make a difference. I also can not wear contacts, I have serious issues with touching my eyes. I had laser eye surgery done. Granted it is pricier than most options (mine was $800 because I had a connection that worked in the doctor's office) but it was the best desicion I ever made, I have no regrets. The other thing you could do is get some sexy and trendy frames. I know many women who think that men with the right glasses look extremely attractive. Having glasses is only a curse if you look at it that way. If you found the right frames I bet you'd be in business.

Your other alternative is LASIK corrective surgery. The strange feeling you experience when you take off your glasses will dissipate within a day or two. HOWEVER, glasses are NOT what girls don't like about you. Glasses are a non issue. Some girls find them sexy (I do) but most girls don't notice them. Wear you glasses. It is better to see than to be vain.

Sorry to say this but it's not your glasses that stops the girls liking you, it's you thinking that they do that is the reason because you're brobably giving off the wrong signals, have a look for some motivational CD's to listen to whilst you're asleep this may help. Look at Micheal Caine he made a career out of wearing them and Lennon, Elton John and Bono(well perhaps not him). There's nothing wrong with themand are pretty good for giving a sexy look over to the ladies!

If you need glasses, you need them for a reason! To be fair, it'd be quite dangerous for you to not wear them - how would you ever be able to do day to day things like crossing the road if you can't see the cars properly?! Your body would kinda adjust, but your sight wouldn't improve without them, and you're likely to end up getting headaches, and if you have to squint at everything, you'll start developing crows feet around your eyes a lot quicker, and that's not pretty!
Have you thought about getting some different frames? Having a pair which really suit your face, and make you stand out for all the right reasons could make all the difference. It's not your glasses that girls find unattractive, it's your attitude (you're probably giving off signals of "I've got glasses so you can't possibly find me attractive") girls like a guy with confidence - but you'll be less confident if you can't see properly!
What is it about contact lenses that you don't like? Are you worried about the cost, the amount of cleaning or the idea of having to poke things in your eye every day? I wear Focus Dailies (disposable ones) so I haven't got to worry about fluids etc. It takes a few goes to get used to putting them in your eye and taking them out, but eventually you can do it without thinking about it! My prescription is -4.0, so without glasses or contacts I have about 6" of clear vision before things start going blurry (I hate my glasses because even with the shaved lenses they're still about 7mm thick at the edges!) but with contacts, they're all the same size and shape. Mine are so comfortable that I often forget I'm wearing them.
Speak to your optician about getting some new frames, or if you want, a trial run of contact lenses to see how you get one with them. Different ones vary in price, but my daily disposables work out about £30 a month.
Good luck!

Keep wearing glasses. If a girl doesn't like you because you wear glasses then you probably don't want to be with her. That's a pretty superficial reason to not want to like someone. The right girl will be the one who accepts you for who you are, glasses and all.

I happen to think that glasses look very cute on a man. You are probably wearing a pair that are not right for you're face shape. Next time you go for an eye test, ask the optician for advice on the right type of frames for for you. x

No alternative to glasses or contact lenses that doesnt involve some form of laser eye treatment. You can contact company's directly or speak to your optician to get advice.

Your body can get used to anything. It feels weird wearing them at first too but you soon get used to it.
And I like boys with glasses so dont worry - buy a designer pair and you'll look well sexy. Good luck!

laser eye surgery if your eligable. Unless your eyesight isnt that bad then yeah you will get used to not wearing them tho your eyesight wont get better. But seriously its very doubtful that women dont like you cause of your glasses. Must be some other character flaw.
