New specs

Got some new glasses. Not exciting. Kinda granny chic at best. I wear contacts, so my specs never see the light of day. I only use them to make my way to bed after I take my eyes out. But got to have a pair!

My contact prescription is the same, but the glasses are a new stronger prescription. They were a little nauseating this morning, but I have adjusted now

I also think they look fab on you! I would beware of the nausea part when wearing them, that does not sound right to me.

I also really like them on you, Rachy, and a stronger prescription can take some getting used to for sure.

These look great! It does take time to get used to a new prescription, especially when you’re switching back and forth.

Super cute. Glad you've adjusted - YES, it can be nauseating

They look great but like you I am a contact lens wearer and rarely wear my glasses. I love the light frame on you.

Thanks all! Glad to know they aren’t awful. I tend to pick glasses a bit quickly.

I really wanted some clear frames for some reason. Or, I’m enamoured of frosted white, but that looks really bad on me. Too sharp and hi-tech for me and my style at the moment. I have yet to really stop being a hipster of the granola kind.

Mum loves them. She says they look like hers and are indeed the same brand it turns out. This should probably worry me... lol.

I *was* a little worried about the nausea. But it wasn’t headache-y, so I stuck with it awhile and did indeed adjust. The first time I put on glasses, I couldn’t find the ground, it was so different!

Im glad you adjusted! I actually took some back and got a weaker prescription when i had problems.

I had to do that when I first got contacts, suntiger. Each eye and the glasses they did differently, as my eyes are slightly different prescriptions and I have astigmatism, which was not corrected for in the contacts but was in the glasses. That made my head hurt and I could not adjust. I could never do the one eye distance / one eye reading thing.

They are cute! Luckily, I never had problems adjusting to my prescriptions. Glad to hear you have adjusted to it. Now I have to get my eyes checked next month and want new glasses and think I will try some plastic frames this time. It will take me at least a month of find a pair I am sure.

Love 'em! You should wear them out and about.

Nice...you hardly look like you are wearing glasses, which can be a good thing sometimes! Nice to see round/oval lenses...I’m getting tired of all the square ones....

Those are great on you!

I need to get glasses. My son is begging me to. As a compromise, I’m using readers a lot. Glasses are one piece of attire that one person absolutely cannot copy from someone else and expect to achieve the same look.

Oh those are great. I wear contacts too but find them too strong when I'm in the house and looking at a lot of things up close -- a pain to constantly be switching to readers. So I find myself wearing my glasses (which are progressives) more and more.
