Eye Glasses

[BITE_ME]

I'm going to get some new ones this weekend.
I only get glass ones.
Because:
A. They last longer.
B. Harder to scratch.
C. The can turn dark in the sun.
D. There not called "Eye Plastics"

What kind do you like?

One thing to note is that transition lenses, while nice, WILL transition indoors. If you do anything where you have to be able to judge color and contrast accurately, don't get them. I hated them when doing photography. Plus, I did design work in the newspaper industry - proofing colors by eye quickly is important - so transitions were a no-go for me.

Be careful of the polycarbonate lenses. While they may be more impact resistant than standard plastic lenses, not everyone can use them. Depending on the type and strength of correction you need, polycarbonate lenses can induce some serious headaches. Most people can adjust after a few days to a few weeks, but the several days I suffered, the headaches were unbearable. I went back to a standard plastic lens and the headaches cleared up immediately.

I get whatever is thinnest. My glasses prescription is a -6.50 and I have to wear special safety lenses at work that weigh a ton, relatively speaking. So when I'm done with work, I like to be able to forget that they're on my head.

Otherwise I wear contacts.

I just have whatever the **** they put in my glasses. I never stopped to ask what it was. :|

Plastic, and they have all the options you mentioned, and also they're lighter.

I get plastic because of the lens type. I have anti glare coating on my single vision computer glasses, which means they are plastic. I like the no line progressive lens with photochromic material (transitions lens) which get dark when exposed to light, transition are plastic of course, for everything else like driving, walking, and general use.

Glass.

But I think laser eye surgery should be provided for free for everybody because glasses are pretty archaic at this stage.

My eyes are currently still hawk-like. I expect to need glasses at some point thanks to my profession.
EDIT: And when I do, I'm opting for akimbo monocles.

Because the front of your eye falling out after a couple years cause your eye had been sliced open isn't archaic at all.

sh!t. really? where? :/

Yeah, until all of the significant risks with laser eye surgery are fleshed out, I elect not to risk screwing up my vision more than it is already screwed up, especially at my relatively young age.

For me, I prefer glass lenses because they aren't made of oil byproducts, and glass is generally harder than plastics.

 

[Jacks:Revenge]

my eyes are perfect.
no optical instrumentation required.

bitches.

 

[Mister_Prophet]

Too bad about your brain though.
