The glasses people wear

Does Dee Forbes think her glasses enhance her? What was she thinking?

Do you have any examples of people who wear glasses that are just dreadful?

.anon.

They probably enhance her eyesight.

Wheelchairs for the eyes.

Heinrich Himmler wore glasses, by all accounts, he was a bit of a bollix.

Try and look at things through a more positive lens.

Lucky you. I have had to wear them since I was 2 years old.
Have you ever though of trying contact lens?

I work in online advertising, and an Italian company called Luxottica spend an enormous amount on marketing their glasses brands. Which is pretty much everyone at this stage: Oakley, Ray-Ban, Chanel, Prada, Versace etc. They also produce pretty much all the frames for companies like Specsavers. There's very little difference in the actual quality of the frame themselves between a €40 and a €4000 pair apart from the logo, the case, and the buying experience, so they actively target their brands towards the market segment identified. Obviously they spend more on someone wanting to buy a pair of Chanel glasses than someone looking for a 2 for 1 offer in Specsavers, but this is very targetted advertising.

Huge markups.

Me and contacts have never got on. Tried them as a teenager when they were proper hard things not the flimsy ones nowadays and I had an allergic reaction.

I have disposable ones but they are no use as I would have to take them out every time I wanted to read something as I’m very short sighted.

I think they’re sexy on certain people, they just make a face, take them off and you think...God what was I thinking!

As for me I can’t carry them, awful goof, hence I only wear them at home!

This post made me laugh. Years ago when my mother was in hospital and I was visiting her, the patient in the bed beside her came over to tell me that she thought I looked liked Deirdre Barlow. Yes it was the days of the huge plastic frames, and when I now look back at old photos I think to myself 'what the hell was I thinking' but I suppose when everyone is wearing similar it's not as noticeable. Not saying which picture I looked like, but I also did have a perm at the time!

Your Face

Steven Donnelly's combo of glasses, bald head and beard looks like photoshop.
Makes him look like a character from the old Guess Who games.

They styles seem to go in and out of fashion all the time which is extremely irritating when you just want to replace an old pair of frames. Ten years ago you couldn't move for rimless glasses in the opticians. A few years later it was those awful chunky-armed things, then hipsterish tortoiseshell frames. Had a quick look in the opticians recently and it seems to have gone back to chunky-armed things again but this time with ultra prominent branding/logos on the sides.

I just want a pair of thin, wire-framed glasses that are as light and unobtrusive as possible. I'll gouge my own eyes out before I'd wear a pair of glasses with TOMMY HILFIGER or some other chav branding plastered across them.

They look like cheap Groucho joke glasses.

Conor McGregors ones look like what a 1990s sex offender would wear.

The desperate Specsavers sales person making a fuss out of buying and simply trying on frames is a sight to behold.

And yes, pun intended.
