    you don't have those giant lab goggles to wear??? might not be a bad idea to buy yourself a pair if you use them often enough. idk just a suggestion
    Yeah, when you hit higher education, you get special glasses-goggles. High School doesn't have these things. xD

    I wear glasses. I can't see without my glasses. They're pretty cool for that whole thing.

    I wore contacts for several years and they were pretty great but then I got tired of how they inevitably dried my eyes out after like eight hours.

    So now I am back to glasses and I think I look okay in them. I hate when they get dirty, though. Which is all the time.

    I only wear glasses when Im watching movies so I live life in standard definition and films are more realistic than reality.

    I have to wear them if I'm reading something on the computer. Stuff like eoff is fine, but if I'm looking at an e-book or something really long I need my glasses else I get the worst headaches ever. They're just reading glasses, not designer... I actually got them for £1 each at Primark haha! They do the job though, as long as I'm not wearing them for too long and still give myself a break.

    Reading on a screen is hard

    I would probably think it was massively inconvenient to have to wear glasses, but I do think they look pretty cute/cool/sharp on some people.

    I wear glasses pretty much all day long. I'm terribly short sighted.

    I plan on getting laser eye correction at some point though.

    I had to get glasses for the first time last year and only wear them for watching TV and driving. I got two pairs and still can't decide which ones look best... maybe I should conduct a poll to find out.

    I wear glasses to see better, I did try contacts for a few years to see how they would work but they were too much of a hassle and I think I look better with glasses on.

    I don't need glasses, and I am glad. It just seems like a hassle to take care of. As other people said, they sure do look stylish on some people.

    Eyes are interesting to me!

    I'm the exact opposite! I have to wear glasses to watch tv/game/drive/etc because I can't see that far! But when I'm on my computer or reading a book/e-reader, it hurts my eyes to keep glasses on!

    I just thought of another annoyance.

    Roller-coasters. Now, even though I have my glasses tightened, to keep them on my head, most roller-coasters I have to remove my glasses. It is a slight annoyance, but I'm always fearful that I'll end up having them drop off.

    Anime made me like glasses. Then I discovered I needed glasses.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I wear them because I'm pretty much blind without them.
