God, it’s weird when your glasses become a part of you (not literally) and then now you have to pay to get a whole new pair of glasses!

Not excited for looking at “mens” glasses and for the sellers to ask if I want to look at the “womens” glasses. Like damn my glasses don’t need to be gendered too!

I’ve had times when I go to bed or step into the shower with them on and forget.

Been wearing them ever since I was a kid and it amazes me that sometimes o forget to take them off.

Yeah there’s been times where I wear them in the shower and then go “oh idiot!”

I’ve been wearing them since I was a teenager, I did wear glasses as a kid but I think I lost them and never got new glasses, but yeah it’s been over ten years since I’ve worn them. But I think in the past maybe 5 - 7 years I’ve started wearing them constantly. They’re mostly reading/computer glasses but I just wear them all the time essentially because I never know when I need to read something.

I’m a woman and my daily pair are from the mens section of Specsavers. I love my glasses so much I got a second identical pair lol

I think my sunglasses are from the men’s section, whereas my glasses are actually sunglasses turned into reading glasses.

But the reading glasses/sunglasses that I’m looking at are both from the women’s section because… sadly, they suit me. And I can’t just get my current glasses because they don’t have them anymore which is disapointing.
