Thread: Spectacles?

I've tried wearing glasses, but the style of lens is such that I can't always be guaranteed to be looking through the lens so I rarely wear them. Contacts work nicely, or shaving by feel worst case scenario.

i wore glasses my entire life up until lasik 4 years ago.. i used to shave with them on using a cartridge.. it was no big deal..

on a side note.. i've gotten into the habit of wearing sunglasses nearly all the time.. i have yet to shave with them on. but i'll try tomorrow and let you know..

Result of the lasik, or just 'cause?

I first started shaving without my glasses when I forgot to take my glasses to the gym, where I most often shave. I am short sighted but have no problem distinguishing between the white of the lather and the pink of my skin. I actually found it helped not being able to see as well, like it made me worry less about being perfect.
On a side note, when I was younger and tried rock climbing it was less scarry and therefore easier, to climb with a blind fold. I feel it is a similar situation with shaving. But of course I would never shave with a blind fold (if some one is willing to try, it would make a great video for utube).

little of both i guess.. i had been wearing glasses since i was old enough to walk into things.. so i felt really odd without something on my face.. i started wearing them so much that my eyes have become super sensitive to light.. i basically can't step outside without my sunglasses.. and i wear them inside my house when a have too many windows open..

i do live in what is probably the most sunny city in california though.
