Thought of the day:
Wearing Glasses.
Last week as per usual i pick up my copy of Look magazine to read on my lunch break, casually flicking through there was a double page spread written by the editor Ali Hall on the subject of laser eye surgery. It was an interesting read about her before/after transformation with laser eye surgery, after reading on i came across the phrase which went along the lines of '..and who wants to spoil their bikini look wearing specs? It's not very Kelly Brook.' This article caused quite a stir on my Twitter feed and i think that phrase is a tad bizzarre. Normally, i couldn't give a toss about some one's opinion on body-weight/ skin/ hair styles, but i think this was pretty careless throw-away comment without any intention to offend, but it got me thinking.
I'm blind as a bat, yet i never wear my glasses. Not because i don't like them, i just haven't got used to them or needed to rely on them fully yet, but on the other hand i still wouldn't want to wear them constantly. Like Ali Hall, i am interested in laser eye surgery. My mum had the underwent the process and hasn't looked back (baha bad pun), practically transforming her life. I personally think that it's amazing, sure i think it's a bit creepy and gross, but for 10 minutes of weirdness - it is worth the perfect vision. As soon as my eye sight levels to a certain point, i will definitely seek this treatment out, regardless of the cost.
But for the mean time, i should definitely embrace wearing my glasses more, even if i look like an eight-eyed freak watched 3D films, i personally couldn't give a toss about swaning about on a beach like Kelly Brook!
What are your thoughts on glasses or Laser eye surgery? worth the hype or far too weird?
I totally can relate to this....
ReplyDeletemy dad went through the laser eye, and he said the fact his eyes were held open, and could smell it that was the WORST part!!
and i went to watch toy story 3 in 3D and i had to wear my normal glasses underneath the 3D glasses
total eight eyes (love it)

I've worn glasses since I was 15, and I don't hate wearing them, it's just been a slight inconvenience because I dance and whatnot! Also 3D films + regular glasses are just not a good idea haha. I'm terrified of laser eye surgery but am contemplating having it done. :) xxxx
ReplyDeleteI wear glasses and can't get laser surgery because of my astigmatism but I don't mind because over the last 15 years I've grown to love wearing glasses. I do avoid 3D because I have to wear 3D glasses over my own which is very annoying but I'm still going to see Toy Story in 3D because I love the films so much. I think the comment made is completely ridiculous, people wear sunglasses with bikinis so the only difference is non tinted glass and glasses are a great fashion accessory anyway!! If I could get laser I definitely would because the thought of not needing to worry about putting my specs on every morning would be amazing
ReplyDeleteI think laser eye surgery is a fantastic, innovative invention!
ReplyDeletei dont wear glasses, pretty much the only one in my family who doesn't!
i think i would be open for it if it was right for me
i think that careless comment is pretty harsh!
i actually often wear geeky glasses because i love how much they can change a look! xxxx
I'm also terrified of laser eye surgery, for the time being I'm happy with wearing contacts on the days I don't want to wear my glasses. Your glasses really suit you btw x
ReplyDeleteYou look great with your glasses. Honestly, you suit them so well! I am unsure about laser eye surgery... I wear contacts and I think I'm perfectly happy with them. The thought of having my eyes lasered just creeps me out a tad.
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous in your glasses! Magazines chat so much shit it's ridiculous. Next week they'll have '10 of the best designer frames'!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wear clear lens glasses, even though I don't need them, because I just think glasses are cool!
I am having my eyes tested soon... My fingers are crossed that I can get some real glasses! Ha!
xx
Personally, I would like to get laser eye surgery. But it would be more for the practicality of it than the aesthetics. I don't put a prescription in my sunglasses because it's too much of a hassle - my prescription changes all the time! - and also it's impossible to lie in bed comfortably watching tv. There are a lot of annoying things about glasses, although in terms of looks I think they can look quite good!

What a funny phrase, considering Kelly Brook is fronting the specsavers spectacle wearer of 2010 campaign!
ReplyDeletei wear my glasses to read/type etc,
ReplyDeletebut i dont wear them out, i think it's
an insecurity thing for most people
but then theres been the trend for 'geek glasses'
lately, i think i might have to go buy a massive pair of deirdre from coronation street glasses and just embrace it!
your glasses look lovely :)
