Truth is it's normal to have to change glasses regularly because your eye power keeps changing - if you wear your current glasses alot - it will probably help and your power will go down - hence a new pair for your new needs... if you don't wear your glasses much then it's probably reasonable that your power will go up and a new pair is in sight. I've been wearing glasses since I was 4 - and trust me I've had more than 4 pairs of glasses - think of it as a chance to revamp yourself... don't worry, often if you take good cair of your eyes (wear ur glasses often) and don't be too vain... sometimes you get cured... and if that doesn'thappen there's always laser eye surgery when ur older.

It's not unusual for your vision to feel strange at first. Did your optometrist give you a wearing schedule? When I first got mine I was limited to a few hours each day for about a week to give my eyes a chance to get used to them. Don't push it too much at first, and when/if your eyes are bothering you taake them out for a while. You'll get used to them in about a week or 2.

I don't like to wear mine, either. However, since I use my computer as much as I do, and I also worked at Verizon, where I was on a computer for 8+ hours a day, my vision has gotten worse. There are many different styles of glasses you can get. Some have barely any frames, and they aren't as noticeable as the ones with full frames. I have a pair of them, and I like them much better. I can't wear my contacts, either, because I have allergies. My eyes get really irritated when I wear them. It does take time to get used to wearing them, but I think you will find that you can get frames that will compliment your face. Good Luck!

I was able to order different styles from most of the major catalogs. Try Fisher. I think I bought a red pair from them that were pretty cool.\n\nAlso, try ebay. I just got 582 items when I searched on "safety glasses." Browsing through quickly, I saw quite a few that were kind of cool. Lot of dorky ones too, but you might be able to find something you like. Have fun!

Hold it open and let it water, this will be kind of uncomfortable.  If that doesn't work go to an optometrist.  Something in your eye could cause problems (ie cornea abrasion) so be careful!  Go to the doctor asap!

Assuming you have a pair of glasses already that needs a proper adjustment, here's a detailed info on how to size your glasses: http://www.eyeglasses.com/adjusting_your_eyeglasses.page\n\nIf you do not yet to have a pair of glasses, you should check with your optometrist or eyeglass specialist to find the right size, as a pair of glasses comes in different width, length, and designs. You are advised to try one one in person in order to get a best fit.

I wear contacts when I surf and have never had any trouble.  I just close my eyes any time I have to go under water.  The water around here (SC) doesn't have good visibility anyway so I am not missing much.  I would never surf with glasses on.  Too much of a risk they get knocked off and it would bother me that they have a film of water on them at all times.

Can you get new glasses? The ones in the picture make you look like what you really are.

They are a vast improvement over bifocals, which give you a line across your vision, once you get over playing "find the focus," rolling your head up and down.  I am used to them now, except that it is still counter-intuitive to move something away from my eyes to see it better.  But when that gets too frustrating (as in trying to thread a needle), I do what I always have done; take may glasses off.  I must say, though, that being beyond the age when I can get 20/20 in both eyes with correction has its drawbacks.  Then there is the problem of taking your glasses off to wipe the smudges off, only to discover the "smudges" are inside your eye!\n\n"What a drag it is getting old."

I've been wearing glasses for about seven years now, I'm 18, and honestly I don't give a rats ass about what people think. I think that glasses are becoming in style now and you shouldn't be ashamed of wearing them if you need them. Though, not that I care about what others think, I'm trying to heal my eyesight the natural way, as laser eye surgery is not always a fool proof solution and is so expensive. I am going to use the Bates method to try and heal my eyesight, as I don't like relying on glasses to see, I want to be able to see clearly using my own eyes again. I want to wear sunglasses. I don't want to be restricted to not playing certain sports. For these personal reasons, I don't like wearing glasses, as they are crutches. I recommend you watch a DVD called "Yoga For Your Eyes" by Meir Schneider if you are interested in healing your eyes. Schneider was born legally blind and healed his eyes and is now able to legally drive without glasses. Good luck :)

Because your tears evaporate faster (like mine), you have to blink more often.  If you don't do this, your eyes dry out.  If it's a problem for you, your doctor can recommend an artificial tear eyedrop (you can get them over-the-counter, but if you use it long-term, you may want to get one that's preservative-free).  It doesn't necessarily reflect on your future need for glasses.  \n\nMost people when they get to be around 40-45 years old, need some sort of reading glasses or contacts.  That's completely normal and happens because the crystalline lens inside your eye loses its flexibility and ability to focus up close.  You still have a long time before you have to think about this, but there are many options available right now and there will probably be more in 10-15 years.

Those should be fairly thick- unless there is some kind of special thin lense-my old glasses were a -6.00 and plastic-and fairly thick= D

Wearing contact helps - coz ur center does not change - and has more sharp / focus than glasses.\nIf u follow eye related healthy diet/exercise - u can get by with a smaller no, like  -1.75 for starter, and help it reduce further (coz ur eye will not suffer strain from change of optical centers, etc - as is with glasses...\nTheoretically, one cannot go beyond 20/20, it is perfect vision...

Did you buy glasses? It sounds about like the price and description of two lenses. If your didn't buy glasses, you'd better ask them, maybe they made a mistake.

I wore contact lenses for 31 1/2 years and tri-focal glasses for 10 years.  My vision was 20/1000!!!!! I had lasik surgery last September and found it to be a miracle!!!! My vision is 20/25 and I can read things I was not able to read since I was a small child!  There are NO aftereffects whatsoever.  This procedure does not last a lifetime, and will necessitate further procedures (depending on the original-blade or bladeless surgery) and maybe that is where the silliness of causing blindness in old age comes from.  I would SERIOUSLY consider a consultation.  They are usually free and will answer all of the questions YOU have.  In the long run, it is a small price to pay for sight!
