re: So I need glasses... At 32 y/o :(

I could rock those.

I like those

:nohomo:

My husband has some that look kinda like these

Yeah, those are definitely what I'd be looking for. I like the ones bacon posted, I'm not into the "frameless" style.

I guess

I guess they are a little skinnier and they don't have the dots on the front. Are those women's glasses? I can't tell, I've been drinking.

Neither am I. My frames actually look like a more feminine version of the ones I posted.



I think the black frames are so popular now cause they are flattering on so many different people.



I think my husband looks hot with his on actually.

These are the ones I wear the most

Anyone else get glasses (and/or contacts) later in life?

I got them at the ripe, old age of 3+2 as well. They take some getting used to, and you'll get minor dizziness/headaches with each prescription change that will likely resolve within a few hours but could persist for up to a few days. The more consistently you wear them, the better off you'll be.

You're older and much more responsible (presumably) than the average person who gets their first pair of contacts, so I will warn you that if you go this route, you really should take hygiene seriously. Do not handle your contacts without washing your hands with soap and water first. Take them out each night and soak them in the recommended solution. Tap water is never a substitute for solution. Sleeping in them isn't really acceptable. It will happen, and that's OK. But don't ever plan to do it, and if you do it, make sure you use some form of rewetting drop immediately upon awakening if you choose not to remove the contacts.

Most of these rules are thrown to the wayside with little to no consequence by many/most/nearly all contact wearers. Unluckier ones get infections- the eye is irritated just doesn't feel right. If you're particularly unlucky, though, you could get a pretty serious and rapidly progressing corneal ulcer that can result in corneal transplant or, worse, the loss of the eye (or at least all the seeing functionality of it).

Again, now that you're older than the typical teenager getting their first pair of contacts, I urge you to take eye health/hygiene seriously. The consequences, though not necessarily common, do occur and are severe.

I'm wearing some wire frame blacks with tiny lenses now because I left my others in Austin with my SO.
