Thanks, those glasses were only £35, they were the exact same as another stylish pair for £85 so i got a bargain :D
 
fancy glasses Mr! I have glasses and I love them. I dont look right without them, its as if something is missing from my face.

It makes wearing make up a bit difficult, a problem which I would assume you dont have but hey its 2006, you never know.

They are very nice!
 
I wore glasses from the age of 3 until 2 years ago when I paid £2400 for laser treatment. It was the best thing I ever did.

Saying that though, I was soooooo short-sighted that there was no way I could get by without them. I think that some people just suit glasses and I didn't. I just look odd in all my old photos now. My daughter has to wear them for distance stuff, and they really suit her, and I think yours do too JMC. :D
 
they really do suit you 8) lol at your last pic though :D

im meant to wear glasses but i dont like the things
 
I need glasses badly but can't be bothered to go for an eye test. I did have some but I lost them yonks ago.

wow £2400 thats a lot of money !!

Did it actually work well?

What could you see better with, the glasses or laser eye treatment
 
I have worn glasses since i was 5 and i have had some seriously bad ones free from the NHS. Up until i got my own money my mum would insist i wear the free ones and as a teenager i looked like a mini mrs barlow absolutly shocking. Now i have some nicer frames my latest ones cost £100 and after 2 days i managed to accidently sit on them and break them while putting my contacts in :shock: (Old habits die hard i use to always try and break my old ones).
I prefere my contacts anyway lol
 
Does anyone use contacts?

Whats the deal with them

I'd hate to have to touch my eyes constantly :|
 
I use contacts but.............

the first ever time I got them and wore them home, I couldnt get them out when I went to bed. My sister helped me and was sticking a cotton bud in my eye etc and we tried for 2 hours! My eyes were all swollen and red so my sister phoned NHS direct for advice. They told us that I should go to A&E coz they couldn't stay in overnight so I had to wake up my mum at 2am and get her to drive me to the hospital so I could get them removed :rotfl:

Didnt put me off tho - had another crack at them and now wear them all the time. They are fab! Wouldnt be without them and Specsavers post them to me so I dont even have to pick them up. Give em a go!

I now have 20/20 vision, which is better than even the surgeons expected! :dance:

You can get it for as little as £395 per eye, but I was extremely short-sighted, and my cornea was very thin, and I also had astigmatism. The combination of all 3 of these meant I couldn't even get it done to start with, and they turned me down a few years ago. They then wrote to me 2 years ago to say there was a new technology out (can't currently remember the name :think: ), and I went for another assessment. And they said Yes! :dance: :dance:

It's not actually that expensive when you work out that I used to spend £25 per month on contacts, and £350 once a year for new glasses. They were so expensive, not because they were designer, but because I had to pay extra for the ultra ultra thin and light lenses. So that's £650 per year, so I've already saved myself £1300. Less than 2 years to go and they've paid for themselves!! :dance:
 
Beware Sarah!

I was a speccy four eyes in denial for years until I noticed lines appearing round my eyes! now I wear my glasses everyday to try to hang on to my youth!!

Squinting is bad for you! :D
 
Im long sighted but dont wear my glasses much because i keep putting off taking them to vision express while they are still insured to get them realligned..

I've got both contacts and glasses - although I only wear the glasses if I'm not going out. They make me look TERRIBLE.

I wore glasses only from the age of 7 till 16 and then I got the contacts.

I'm incredibly short sighted. My contact lens strength is -7.0
