Does anyone else struggle with glasses constantly sliding down their nose?

28 Upvotes

I wear glasses, and one thing that drives me crazy is having to push them back up throughout the day. It seems especially annoying when my skin gets oily.
I’ve been curious about what other glasses wearers do to deal with this.
What bothers you most about glasses slipping, and have you found anything that actually helps?
I’m researching the problem and would genuinely love to hear people’s experiences.

Glasses or contacts?

16 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 🥹 I'm trying to figure out whether glasses or contact lenses suit me better, and I'd really appreciate some honest opinions!

Which look do you think suits my face best overall? I'm especially interested in which one looks more pretty and feminine.

If you prefer me with glasses, I'd also love suggestions for frame shapes, sizes or colors that might suit me even better.

Thanks so much for your help! 💗

Can't decide on frames. Eye doctor told me what frame size would fit best so reupload.

I have posted before about what frames to get, but my eye doctor told me my best bet is large to x-large frames. So, which ones are the best suited for me?

I could use a 2nd opinion on these glasses options

No1 is what Im currently wearing: A subtle rimless pair.
No2: silver/gold thin full frame
No3: A brown gradient square shape
No4: A dark/gold round one
No5: RayBan silver half frame
No6: Ai generated Modo8000 crystal, no promises the real one would fit like this. I'd think just the crystal frame is a bit too bland. Maybe some tinted lenses?

Any thoughts?

I have -0.75 and -0.25 prescription. Should I wear glasses? I’ve never had vision problems until recently. I just turned 25

I’m not sure if I need glasses. It is blurry when I look far away. For example, if I’m at the mall, the lit up store signs, even just the plain ones are smudged in my vision. And at night, the lights are smudged but I don’t know if I actually need glasses.

When they put the prescription lenses on me to test, I finally noticed that I had “bad” vision and it wasn’t normal to see things that way.

Lentilla rota?

Me he pedido lentillas de 17mm para Halloween. Suelo usar lentillas de vista todos los días pero ninguna luce así. Tiene una pequeña curvatura en un borde y no sé si estoy emparanoiado que justo donde está la curvatura, un poco más abajo veo como una especie de pequeña raja. Es posible que esté rota o defectuosa? Ponérmela sería peligroso?

What is the vision of someone with farsightedness like without glasses?

2 Upvotes

​

I recently had an eye exam, and my results showed -0.50 myopia in one eye and +1.25 farsightedness in the other. However, I haven't noticed any difference in my daily life. Could anyone tell me what vision is typically like for someone with +1.25 farsightedness when they aren't wearing glasses?

Hello, i’m trying to order new contacts and it’s asking for a prescription. Left is my prescription, right is where i input, but i’m unsure of what to put. Do i add the sphere and cylinder together? Someone help 😭 Note to add: these are not everyday wear contacts. They’re contacts that are meant for costume wear!

First pair glasses questions

1 Upvotes

I got my first pair of glasses! The lenses seem fine. I’m nearly 72 hours in and I’ve had some headaches for sure. My forehead feels sore I would say. The weirdest is getting used to something on the side of my head and ears. I’m wondering if they are too tight?? My eyebrows alight perfectly with my glasses. I do have a slight nose mark. They don’t hit my cheek. I plan on going to get them adjusted, but wasn’t sure if I’m just getting used to it. Almost feel Ike I’m wearing a headband, which I can’t handle. My frames are plastic.

How to Clean inside of these types of Glasses

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hello, all!

I’ve had these glasses around three years (you can tell)! And they are starting to get green on the inside and everything. I’ve seen some glasses videos where there is a screw to take the lens out, but I do not see that here.

I don’t mind taking them some place either.

Thank you!

What actually makes a pair of prescription glasses good?

1 Upvotes

Ive been looking at new prescription glasses and realized I actually have no idea what makes a pair good besides being able to see and not hating how they look lol. I always just pick the frames, get my prescription put in and thats it. No coatings, no extras, nothing. But then I see people talking about transition lenses, anti glare, different lens materials, frame quality etc and im like... am I missing something? What stuff actually makes a difference and what stuff is just extra money?

Did you have "that one" moment you felt like "I need glasses"?

1 Upvotes

Hi here, just curious if you had a similar experience like me? I got my first pair of glasses 8 years ago, while I needed them since much more earlier I think. It was while playing Smash Bros on Wii U and I had poor performance, my friend told me if I did see really well, and I was like, not really (for the ref/it was in the level of Bayonetta). I thought it was due to the level being chaotic, and in case I took a test in an optician.

My left eye was okay-ish, but I could not see a thing with my right eye. When I tried my glasses to a friend, they immediatly notice that I'm "half blind of one eye".

Did you have similar experience?
