Stop wearing glasses get lenses. You don't look good in glasses.

I can't wear contacts for more than 6/7hours at a time, they dry out too much and no brand is comfortable - and I've tried many.

I like glasses. People are used to me in glasses. I'm used to wearing them. I get frames that suit my face.

I use either depending on the situation, but 90% of the time I go for glasses because, get this, I actually want to be able to see.

Sorry that my lack of vanity offends you

Have you tried soft lenses that are not silicon hydrogels?

I've tried every soft toric lens that Specsavers offers. Some are more comfortable than others, but none are perfect. Annoyingly, the best fitting ones I've had were the ones that were furthest away from my actual prescription, so they were of no practical use.

Yes but have you looked at the lens material? Im thinking that nearly all soft lenses on sale will be silicon hydrogels which have a tendency to dry your eyes depending on the wearer. Also do you really need torics?

I have astigmatism also at 1.25/0.75 and wear spherical CLs no problem.
Sometimes too much complication causes more issues.

I can only get what they give me.

I'm on -1.5 and -2.25 and the sphericals I tried early on simply never fit. These ones at least fit, but the prescriptions are slightly out. So while they're fine for going out, or for sport, or whatever, they're no good for working and no good for long periods of time.

Just to clarify,, the figures you quote are for the dgree of myopia and not the astigmatic correction?

My current script is -8.50/-7.50 for the short sightedness but i also have 1.25d and 0.75d astig respectively and still wear sphericals no prob.

You may fare better going to see an independent optom rather than the big chains..

Right: Power -2-25, BC 8.7, Cyl -1.75, Axis +20.
Left: Power -1.50, BC, 8.7, Cyl, -1.75, Axis 170.

At one point I did understand all those numbers, but I've slept and drunk too much since then.

And they're good enough for what i want them for, for my package I get the lenses, I get my glasses, I get the care and I get other perks, no reason to change all that. And, tbf, Specsavers isn't really a big chain, each store is a franchise, mine are pretty good.

Why do people in this day and age still insist on wearing glasses? I ditched mine ages ago for a spanky and shiny pair of lenses and I haven't looked back since.

My head feels lighter and the bridge of my nose is no longer being raped by the weight of the lenses inside the frames. No longer would you have to worry about the lesnes being stained or the annoying feeling when they keep sliding down your nose. Urgghhh so annoying



Do some people think they look good in glasses?


Or are they nonintellectuals trying to look smart.

I look fine in glasses just because you may look ugly in them doesn't mean we all do

OP is unhappy they look ugly in glasses.

He looks amazing in glasses!
