While some people regard glasses as
unattractive, other's treat them as a fashionable accessory to their
wardrobe.
Many people regard wearing glasses as
unattractive. For these individuals they normally choose to wear contact
lenses. Contact lenses have been proven to provide improved peripheral
vision, and some studies have shown that contact lenses also slow the
degeneration of the wearer's vision.
On the other hand, there are several individuals who regard wearing
glasses as stylish and for these people glasses are available in a
variety of styles, materials, and designer labels.
For some celebrities their glasses are a part of their trademark. Think
about it, Buddy Holly with out his horn-rims, or Elton John and Dame
Edna Everage without their extravagance, for these stars and many more,
their glasses were part of their identity. Even in our pop culture,
glasses have become trademarks as the disguises of Superman, Spider-Man,
and Wonder Woman.
For years, people who wear glasses have been stereotype as intelligent
or, geeks. It is believed that this misconception came about from when
most people were illiterate, and individually who could afford glasses
were educated men who did a lot of reading. To avoid these
stereotypes, many people turn to contact lenses.
Inconvenience is another unpopular aspect of glasses. Even with frames
made from light material such as titanium, or frames that are very
flexible, and new lens materials and coatings that resist scratching or
breaking, glasses can still create problems for those individual who
participate in rigorous sports. The lenses themselves become greasy, fog
up, or trap vapor when eating hot food, or during sports, or walking in
rain, which reduces visibility. When the lenses become scratched,
fracture or even shatter, they require time-consuming and expensive
professional repairs.
