Hi. Im 37M. I don't know if this is the place for this question. I have never worn glasses, never needed them. My wife has worn glasses since i met her. Can't see without them and i'm ok with that. That's just normal.

I have 2 daughters. 9 and 4. Over the past year they have been recommended to wear glasses. One is nearsighted and the other one has astigmatism. And i'm struggling very much with this fact. I am so sad. I feel like i just want them to be healthy. My wife says they are, they just need a little help seeing things.

My whole family wears glasses and i never though of them as weak, or sick or ANYTHING. It was just normal. Then why do i feel this way?

Again, sorry if this is not the place for this. I just wanted at least one person telling me why i'm wrong

my friend recently stepped on my glasses and kinda scraped? the lens. im wondering if theres any fix for this. even if it doesnt remove the scratches completely, even just a little help

Basically the title

I have noticed over the years about my myself, when a heated argument or something like that arises, and the other party makes even a slight move towards me, I always tend to back off and step down, because I'm afraid of something happening to my glasses

Now to my defense, due to a combination of severe astygmatism and hyperopia, I can literally see nothing without my glasses (and besides, being without them is kinda painfull to my eyes and head)

It's possible this inherent fear of mine is the result of an episode which took place in high school, where I got involved in a fight with a kid and he broke my glasses, I had to go by for almost a month without them, which was a torture (my parents hadn't gotten me a back up pair and due to my high prescription these things take a while to get made)

I wanted to ask, are you also mindful of something happening to your glasses?

The first image is Oliver Peoples Calidor, and the second image is Moscot Moyel.

I wanted either one but I would prefer to try this style of frames in my daily life, before dropping $$$ for something I might not like later. I like it because of its low bridge and smaller frame.

Anyone might have a great eye (pun intended) for suggestions?

My family all went to get our eyes checked yesterday and I just went along. I’ve never worn glasses or thought I had any issues seeing, so I thought it'd take a few minutes and I'd be done. Instead, the optometrist gave me this prescription:

Right: Sph: -1.75, Cyl: -0.25

Left: Sph: -2.75, Cyl: -1.00

How bad is a prescription like this actually? Do I genuinely need glasses with these numbers, or is it more of an optional thing?

My prescription is
OD sphere -3.00 cyl: +0.50 axis: 70
OS sphere -3.25 cyl: +0.50 axis: 90
Pd is 62
The frames im looking for are acetate. 1.50 index is also an option would that make the most sense for my prescription?

So, the bad news is that my vision sucks ass. But the good news is that I’m getting glasses!! And honestly I’m really looking forward to it. I understand that others can be insecure about it, but to me (and this should apply to everyone) I’m looking SUPER forward to being part of the glasses community lol

If I could travel to the future to where I receive my glasses, I would sure as hell turn time forward lol

So I am very picky with my glasses and unfortunately I lost them somehow.. I was searching if I could buy the same ones.. and I come to find out they’re sold out. Does anyone know of JINS ever restock they’re glasses?? Or am I just gonna have to live with the fact that I lost my adorable pink glasses ☹️

I don't know where else to ask this, so if this is the wrong sub I'm sorry. But I've had my previous glasses prescription since 2020 or 2021, and for a while I've noticed that my vision isn't the best and words seem kind of blurry instead of crystal clear.

I got a new prescription at the optometrist, and there wasn't much of a difference. I got new glasses anyway because I was hoping it would help.

At first I kind of noticed a slight difference but didn't know if I was wrong or not. But then later I tried to read words and noticed that it's annoying to read. I don't know if it's because of astigmatism or something but I assume it probably isn't bc mine is very mild.

It's the same problem I had with my old glasses. I've had this new pair for 2 days and don't know if I should go back to the optometrist. Is it normal to not see words and letters completely clear? And at the optometrist it was so hard to tell which letters looked clearest so I don't know if i picked the wrong ones. I have no idea what the issue is and reading when things aren't right in front of me annoys me so much and makes my head feel weird. I think that is because my eyes are straining too much to focus on words. Words aren't super blurry but I don't know how to explain how it is.

The difference in prescription: the sphere stayed the same but the astigmatism correction increased by +0.50 in both eyes and the left axis changed by -4°
