One year onwards and I am still wearing the same
prescription glasses as I was when I first wrote my original article on
this topic "What to Expect When You First Start Wearing Prescription
Glasses". The article was a hit so I thought, why not give people an
update one year later? More and more people are diagnosed with poor eyesight every
day, maybe it's environmental factors like pollution and long hours at
the computer (I am pretty sure this hasn't helped me). It's only natural
to feel pretty nervous when you are first prescribed eyeglasses by your
optometrist. Information is the best way to combat this feeling, so
let's take a look at my experience up to this point.

As you can see from the two pictures I am still wearing the
same glasses one year later. I think I got lucky and got a pretty good
pair on the first go. I actually bought two pairs of glasses at the same
time and wasn't so lucky on the other pair, they are very uncomfortable
and I have no need for tinted lenses (which I thought was a good idea
at the time). Nonetheless, getting a year's use out of one pair of
glasses isn't that unusual if you spend up a little bit on your first
pair, which leads into my first tip for this article:
Don't Be Afraid to Spend Big on Your First Pair of Prescription Glasses
I know that I am glad I did. You should focus on two things
when you are buying your very first pair, and neither of them are the
price. They are comfort and looks. They need to be as comfortable as
possible and they need to look good enough that you will actually want
to wear them. Your glasses aren't doing you any good just sitting in
their case. I spent about two hours choosing the set I am wearing now
and I am glad I did. I made sure that I got frames I really liked and it
made me much more confident in wearing them. I think they look pretty
rad, but I'll let you be the judge of that.
Sore Ears and Bridge of Nose - 1 Year Update
I wrote about this in the original article and
I hoped it would be something that would go away over time. Sadly,
these mild pains and discomfort have persisted but they are much less
severe then they were right at the beginning. I sit here writing this
after a good 10 hours of wearing them and the bridge of my nose and
behind my ears are both quite sore. Taking them off while I eat lunch
and when I go for a walk helps a lot but I think this is something that
you just have to live with. It's possible that different designs may
cause more or less pain but I cannot truly vouch for that yet (maybe in
the 2 year update - haha).
People Getting Used to Your New Look - 1 Year Update
This was true but there was an unexpected side effect of this 'getting used to it'. I, myself, can't get used to seeing myself without my
glasses on now! Whenever I take them off I feel like I look weird.
Seeing myself on camera all the time for YouTube I am pretty used to
those black lines as a feature of my face so when I see myself without
them on in the morning it looks downright weird! I can't speak for other
people though, but I think everyone is used to them by now (it has been a year, after all).
Find the Right Cleaning Cloth and Cherish It
As I mentioned in the first article - cleaning is by far the
most frustrating part of glasses ownership. Every time I do something
or go to scratch an itch on my face I somehow manage to put a massive
smudge on them. They somehow even seem to get dirty sitting in their
case! Luckily I found an awesome cleaning cloth. Unluckily, I only have
one and don't know where to get more. So here is my tip: find your perfect cleaning cloth and buy at least 10 of them. Keep
one in your pocket, one in your room, one in your bathroom, one in your
car, keep a few as backups and file the rest away in a secure vault
only you know the combination to. I dread having to look for another
decent cloth when this one gets lost.
Overall I am actually quite fond of my glasses. Sure, it
would be nice to not need them but they are good looking enough and
comfortable enough that they are something I don't mind having to clean
every five minutes.

Betty MacDonald fan club fans,
new info on Betty MacDonald and cool glasses!
we have a new Betty MacDonald fan club contest.
Do you wear glasses?
It isn't a problem at all in our time because we have very stylish glasses but it was a huge problem 70 years ago.
What was the reason why?
Because the glasses looked rather ugly.
Tell us please two members of the Bard family who were shortsighted.
Good luck.
You can win very interesting new Betty MacDonald fan club items.

Terry
is so glad that he can see again. Although he
has to wear glasses for the rest of his very young life he feels like
Superman with his new power glasses. I realized that I'm visually
impaired, says Terry. My darling mom noticed that I was squinting all
the time and we went to an eyetest. The result was that I was rather
nearsighted and had serious problems seeing things far away. It's like a
new life now because I can see every detail. I always thought that
many girls are not very fond of a guy with glasses. I was rather afraid
about my chances after I started to wear them. I was totally wrong. I'm actually even more popular with them
because I got so many very nice compliments from the ladies beeing a
glasses boy. They think I look even more hot with my cool glasses. These statements helped me a lot and I'm wearing my glasses with pride and joy, Terry says and is smiling. I can't even imagine doing a step without my glasses because it's too blurry.
My mom adores me and is complimenting my
new glasses outfit all the time. I'm very happy and grateful about her
outstanding support. This helped me a lot to accept the fact that I'm
dependent on my glasses and need to wear them all the time. It's such a
very good feeling to be able to see again. I'd like to encourage all
people who are visually impaired to go to an eye test and start a better
life with perfect eyesight. The glasses changed my life so much.
I encouraged my dad starting to wear glasses too because of his many headaches.
He looks great in his new glasses and will get used to them very soon.
My dad said: These are my first pair of glasses, gotten today, Jan 22, 09. They come
with a sun shield... that I like. They look kind of cool. I've never
really liked glasses TOO much... at least on ME. My eye sight really
isn't that bad. It's just a tiny bit blurry at times. I feel a bit
guilty even HAVING them! I'm thinking possibly they COULD help me with
my headaches? I'm not sure about THAT. But... nevertheless... here
they ARE! :D
My
mother and my sister had an eye exam because I convinced them to check
the eyesight regulary. Guess what! Our two beloved ladies will wear
glasses too.
All the people compliment my glasses very much. I'm very happy about it.
Only
my ignorant grandparents are quarreling all the time and say to me:
Terry you are much too young to wear glasses all the time. This will
damage your eyes.
Although
I explained them in detail several times that wearing glasses doesn't
depend on age at all because we get more and more glasses wearer in my
age or younger, they are abviously not able to understand.
Who cares?
I
guess it will be huge shock for my grandparents when they see the whole
family, my dad, my mom, my sister and me wearing glasses all the time.
They won't be able to understand it at all but we are so happy and feel in heaven because we can finally SEE!

Even Justin Timberlake needs to wear Glasses
To give you an idea of what the world might look like to the Short Sighted Justin Timberlake, here’s an example image:

Looking for Glasses like Justin Timberlake?
Justin Timberlake, also famous for dating Britney Spears and Cameron Diaz, seen here with Jessica Biel is wearing plastic framed spectacles with a slight curve to the frame. Unfortunately we are unsure of what designer these glasses are by, however, we have found a selection of similar looking frames you may like to try.
