This topic came up last evening and it's something that always baffles me. Why do adults drag their feet so much when they have to get glasses? I know several adults that need to get glasses, or have glasses but won't wear them. One will always follow you in her car because she can't read the street signs. She has glasses but won't wear them. Another person I know needs to wear them only sometimes but won't even wear them that much because "my eyes will be come defendant on them and then I'll have to wear them all the time". So?! Is that such a horrible thing?
My wife was one of those people and I would be on her case to wear them because it's what the eye doctor told her. She wouldn't listen. Then one day during an eye exam her eye doctor yelled at her for not wearing them like she should be. Well by that point it was too late and her not wearing them had worn down her eyes so much that she now has to wear them all the time. This was some years ago though and now she's fine with them.
It's a subject that drives me right up the wall. The ass dragging and excuses that go on are just ridiculous. Especially since a lot of these people have kids and if they needed glasses you know they would make them wear them without any arguments. Grrr... Glasses
aren't some pain in the ass thing (although most think so). Picking out a pair can be kind of stressful but chooseing the right pair can make you look really good. I think women with glasses are quite sexy actually.
One a side note... I wear glasses and have since I was 8.

I used to wear glasses but I hated them because my lenses are thick and the weight actually hurts my snout x_x
I have nice ones that I only wear at night, after contacts come out, like now! :D
it's a thing of necessity, mostly
I don't wear my glasses.
I don't really have much of a vision issue, and tend to have better visual acuity with them off, picking out nigh-impossible to see part numbers in low quality pictures at work with little effort, while everyone else is turning the monitor and squinting. My issue is more of photosensitivity than anything else.
My doctor wants me to get an eye exam, and I know I need to (It was something I planned to do in August, originally), but I just don't seem to find any time to get it done.
