    I didn't say I was going to go in there blind now did I.
    Honeslty this is ridiculous , the last thing you should be worried/thinking about. I wear glasses and sometimes contacts. For my interviews I wore glasses and got offers , they don't care weather you are wearing glasses it's what you say and how you come across. Wear what you feel comfortable withand practice practice practice interview questions.

    When i was younger, i used to think you were smart if you wore glasses! I guess that was from watching cartoons like Dexter's laboratory and the typical stereotype of a scientist wearing glasses...

    But swiftly moving on :rolleyes: i would advise you to wear whatever you most comfortable with. I really doubt that the interviewers are going to discriminate and reject you on the basis of you wearing glasses. So go with what you feel best and good luck for your interview!
