Hilander Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Hey guys. Wondering if more gays wear glasses or contacts? And do you feel less attractive when u are in glasses? I am 1400 degrees per eye. Probably the highest in Singapore. And have been wearing contacts for as long as I can remember. But lately there are problems with the eye and gotta revert back to glasses. I feel I look like a dork. Any one of u out there have the same problem?
SeannyShortcake Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Make it fashionable. Just cause you wear specs and have thicker-than-normal lenses doesn't mean you have to look like a dork. Of course there are guys who are into that lol.
Retadin Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 have to admit that your degree is quite high, consider getting glass lens or hi-index to decrease the thickness of your lenses. Smaller frames and plastic will be your best bet. Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. -- Oscar Wilde
Hilander Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 already small frames and 1.9hi index. Still dorky.
Retadin Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 hahaha there's little i can recommend because 1400 is really high index. are you currently on hard or soft lenses? Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. -- Oscar Wilde

I feel I look like a dork. Any one of u out there have the same problem? I'm ALMOST as high as you in that aspect and while I don't feel like a dork, I do feel that the thick lenses can be unattractive. Sigh!More importantly, it really gets in the way of swimming, saunas and love-making.I don't want my love-making to be a blur but it really gets in the way if I put them on, especially for kissing and rimming
Hilander Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 Used to wear rgp. But switched to soft since it's more comfortable. But prolong wearing cause some infection. :-(

Do people comment on your specs? Or like look shocked?
Retadin Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 yup. its usually the case. RGP might still be a better option. But contact lenses definitely have more risks of infection. Try to get more rest days with soft lenses, might risk having neovascularisation of your cornea if there is prolonged wearing.

Jnatcire Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Both, so you'll look different every now and then
Magicerife Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) cant do femto second? did your opth recommended epilasik instead? though with your high degree of myopia, they cant possibly shave off everything. probably remnant of 200-400 even after surgery.

otokonoko Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Considered LASIK but cornea too thin :-(I read on the papers there's a new technology that implants lenses on your cornea. Costs nearly $10k.It is non-evasive and reversible (but of course, why would you want to reverse it anyway).You can try googling.
ClaritySG Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 So u wear glasses and not lenses most of the time? Do people comment on your specs? Or like look shocked?I used to wear lenses when degree was lower. Switched back to glasses when eyes become drier and degree crossed the 1000 mark.Even I use hi-index and smaller frames, the lenses are still visibly thick. I don't recall anyone commenting on my specs. Maybe they are just too polite. But I do think I look better with glasses...just wished the degree is not so high.Lasik is also out for me for thin cornea.
Retadin Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 it's called implantable contact lenses. and yes. it's quite common these days. Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. -- Oscar Wilde

Costs nearly $10k.It is non-evasive and reversible (but of course, why would you want to reverse it anyway).You can try googling.One of my ex colleagues had that procedure. One side of his eye he could wear contacts but on the other side, he could not. He went for the treatment and does not wear glasses now. The procedure is relatively new I think so investigate thoroughly until you are satisfied. But TS, your infection is temporary, isnt it? Tell you story. In a sauna (not in Singapore), there was this quite attractive guy who kept on dragging different people into the shower cubicle with him. What happened in the shower cubicle I will leave to your imagination. Each and every one of the guys he dragged in had one thing in common ... they wore glasses. So yes, am sure there is a market for you with your glasses on too, hahaha.
Angelix Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I don't like to wear glasses but people say I look cute in it while some prefer me to ditch them. Most importantly, the glasses should suit your face structure. Last time I used to pick frames that are too small for my face and I look like a nerd. Currently, I wear glasses with a much larger frame and it turns out nice. Anyway, I only wear glasses when I'm too lazy to wear my contacts or my eyes are irritated. http://instagram.com/franciscwh90/
sphere Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Yes, the Implantable Contact Lenses (ICL) is a better option as it is reversible, compared to LASIK, and more expensive as otokonoko mentioned - about $10K. Reversible is good, in the sense that if your power increase (or even decrease), you have an option to replace the lenses? But that comes with addition expenses of course, haha...

darkflame Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I was talking about lasik surgery with my friend the other day.Both of us cannot take the mental stress of seeing something cut our corneas out. So in the end we opted to keep wearing glasses or contacts.No contacts for me as I'm just too afraid to touch my own eye. My degree is about half of yours but I always get the optician to compress my lens when I make new glasses.Just not cheap. I'm always running after you. You are my ideal. You are me.
azimuth Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Wearing contacts is not that bad actually. It just takes a bit of practice and of course to overcome the discomfort sensation when touching your eyes. nusdude 1

Guest sean Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 In long term would it be advisable to wear contact everyday? Won't it have some damage to the eye when you take out the lense everyday?

Momopolare Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I'll say get both lens and spectacle! Owndays do have a couple of frame that are nice and durable. The price range is between $179 to $269 "I guess :x" Under your influence, you're the magic in my veins.
ClaritySG Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Y do u need glasses on when u r kissing and rimming? Men are visual animals, and I like to have a clear visual of my other half and all parts of his body during such sensual moments.
lifeart Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 1000 deg... I look like a dork in glasses too, but after wearing contact lenses for a year, I have reverted to glasses... there were some disparaging comments and that's understandable, cos this pair was originally meant for home use i.e. not hi-index and cheap plastic frame.... haha.... Hilander 1
tyson1992 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I think glasses or not really depends on your face shape! For example, if you have high cheek bones, a pair of spectacles can even out the contours of your face! If you have small eyes, contacts can make your eyes look slightly bigger and sparkly.
Guest Guest Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Y do u need glasses on when u r kissing and rimming?Do u like it when u are having sex in a total dark room where u cant even see ur fingers?
Hilander Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 1000 deg... I look like a dork in glasses too, but after wearing contact lenses for a year, I have reverted to glasses... there were some disparaging comments and that's understandable, cos this pair was originally meant for home use i.e. not hi-index and cheap plastic frame.... haha....Exactly. With our kind of degrees, there's almost no way we can wear glasses without looking like a dork. Hahaha. It's not easy for people less than 1000degrees to really understand.
Hilander Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 is it cos of hygiene level or poor maintenance. i work long hours and i take out my contacts immediately once i reach home.i also change my lens case every monthAdmittedly I do get complacent sometimes. But with the long hours spent outside, it's really difficult to keep contacts wearing to less than the recommended 8-10hours a day. I change out of lenses the moment I reach home too. And almost proper cleaning regime is maintained, but still I think the long hours of wearing takes a toll on the eyes.
Hilander Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 Men are visual animals, and I like to have a clear visual of my other half and all parts of his body during such sensual moments.Having sex in the blur is not very nice cos with my degrees, it's impossible to see the expression of your partner, so u have no idea whether he's enjoying it or not just faking it.
futaki Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Y dun u have both...? For me, i have like 4 pairs of specs and disposable toric lenses...Different days, different looks...And plus, my degree is quite also high... close to a thousand....Keep ur options open...

Probably the highest in Singapore. And have been wearing contacts for as long as I can remember. But lately there are problems with the eye and gotta revert back to glasses. I feel I look like a dork. Any one of u out there have the same problem?I can totally feel you. I'm 1800 degrees and I absolutely can't do without contacts. I've got a fair share of rejection in glasses but when I'm in contacts it's a different story. Back in the days before I got lenses, I've even got a guy who outright told me that if not for my glasses, he'd fall in love with me. That's how people like us get it.

thorzguy Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 When I was wearing spectacles, I thought I would look better without.Now without my spectacles, I think I look better with them. Life is always full of irony. Totally agree. To TS:I understand where you are coming from. I had 700+ for my left and 600+ for my right eye. Worse, my astig was quite bad, very very blur without any optical aid and it gets in the way during my run or swim. Contacts was my only option. The irony was that, thru my years of contacts, I had 1 infection (and that was during my very meticulous cleaning regime) and during those "less caring" days, my eyes were fine. Do not be too bothered with how others see you. More importantly, you need weigh what are the options for you - be it glasses / contacts / surgery. Once decided, go for it. futaki 1
azimuth Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 If you are worried about infection and think you will not be very keen on cleaning your contact lens dutifully, it is best to go for daily disposables. True that it cost more. However, you get a new pair everyday and the risk of infection reduced as well.
Guest Guest Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I'm about 1300 degrees so definitely contacts for me. Totally understand how glasses can alter our appearance. But I used to know this guy who likes my glasses many years ago. Quite good looking, big and tall. But he seems to have disappeared from the scene altogether. Would love to meet him again.
derryfawne Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 For me, I think guys look better without glasses. But this boils down to taste, so who am I to say... I personally wear glasses, and not feeling like switching to contacts. Firstly because not used to it. Secondly because years of wearing glasses have somewhat left some 'traces' so not very nice either (not very obvious, but not sure why somehow just can tell). I don't like fanciful frames. So I just settle with whatever that makes me look least dorky. “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard
grimreaper Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Made the switch to contacts a few weeks ago and I don't regret it one bit. Glasses make me look too nerdy / act-cute (act only please, I'm not saying I'm cute). I only wear them at night when I'm home.
azimuth Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Welcome to the world of contact lens. Yes, please do not sleep with your contact lens and remember to clean them thoroughly after each day if you are not on dailies. Enjoy! :-)
Butterscotch Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I only wear glasses at home and on those lazy days when I couldn't be bothered.
azimuth Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Same here. Got used to wearing contacts already.
