How often do you wear your glasses? There was a time in my life when I NEVER went out of the house in my glasses (much to my eye doctor’s dismay). I wore them at home – MAYBE. I did not want to be seen in glasses – no way, no how, but I find as I get older that I don’t mind wearing my glasses so much. I’ve actually started wearing them for no reason other than just sheer laziness of putting my contacts in, but I think I might wear them even more if I started thinking of them as a fashion accessory. I got this idea from my teenager (Becka) who we had to buy glasses for earlier this year. We decided to try out Zenni Optical after seeing a newscast on their great prices and have been really satisfied. Since they are so reasonably priced, I’ve acutally bought Becka 3 different pair of glasses, and she does in fact wear them like fashion accessories – depending on the outfit she’s wearing. I was really surprised when she mentioned that she had thought I’d have bought her a pair of holiday frames for Christmas as she had hinted several times. I absolutely didn’t catch that hint at all. LOL So I guess the one present I didn’t get my girls that they wanted was eyeglasses. Isn’t that weird? She has district debate coming up soon so I’m thinking that I might buy her a new pair or two now and give them to her for good luck that morning. And maybe JUST MAYBE I’ll buy me a couple pair and try out wearing glasses more often.

That does seem odd, but I guess times have changed. I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 3. I went to contacts in high school and hadn’t been seen in glasses until I became a mom. Now I’m just too lazy for contacts.

@Cat I’m not sure she’d feel that way if she had contacts, but she really only needs them for long distance seeing (chalk boards at school, driving, etc) so we didn’t buy contacts for her.
