Regardless of u are wearing glasses or not, hOw many pairs do u own?? Are u the type who will match your galsses with your outfit?? Or are u the one with just 1 type of glasses for everything and evevryday use??
For me, i have 2 pairs.. One of which is frame-less, which i will wear it most of the time.. The other pair, which is plastic, i will wear it whenever i go to gym for workouts or running.. hehe^_^
So how about u?? Do u have glasses for different purposes?? Or just plain following the trend??

I have used glasses before with no degree in it. Trying to look intellectual while I was in school before, LOL ..
It felt good in awhile, but after some time, I kept it at home. I think I will always want to take good care of my eyesight. In my 'days' only wearing glasses, I feel like very uncomfortable. It is cool but at some point, when you wash your hands, and wipe your forehead, the water gets onto the glass, a hassle. Then you have to wipe it carefully some-more and all that.
That's why when I play games, I try to stay away from the screen, like not too near. You wear glasses, right.. so why frame-less? What's the difference, I know what it's like but is it more cool looking?

lol =D That's the strange part.. For those ple whom are wearing glasses, wishes that they can have 20/20 vision as they dun look good with glasses.. BUt for those with perfect or almost perfect vision, they will opt for glasses in order to look smarter.. lol =D THere are alot of my frenz doing the same thing because 'degree-less' glasses are so cheap especially those funky plastic ones.. lol =D
YEah, it's hassle and so most of the time, i will be keeping my glasses in my pocket while i'm washing my face at the sink.. hehe ^_^ I choose frameless because it's more cool looking and more professional as well.. haha =D MOre importantly, it's cheaper.. lol =D
Well, it's possible to embed degree into sunglasses but not all though.. For those sporty kinda glasses which 'sticks' onto the eye, are not suitable for degrees because it will make one feel giddy..

Sticks onto the eye?????
LOL.....you reminded me of Gollum from LOTR..
And don't make me start on Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Can't wait to watch. So I suppose you'll be bringing your rimless glasses to watch this movie..
Actually, I have this inkling that rimless glasses are more expensive. Don't know why. Maybe it's more harder to make the outer layer without putting on plastic rim or metal rim etc..
Bro, everyone wanna look smart and brainy.. I know I do..
Just kidding.. actually some people look more handsome* in glasses. I know some of my mates look more with kaching$$ putting fake glasses on..haaa...

hi kun! why do you have to wear a plastic glasses when working out in the gym or running?
this may not count as glasses but i do have two pairs of dark sunglasses that i use during summer when the sun is too bright. i don't use the older one anymore because its already out of fashion. ^__^;; i frequently use the newer one especially now that it is summer here. oh, i do have another one which is yellow. i can use it even if its not summer since it is not dark. i bought it for the purpose of shading my eyes when i'm having sore eyes so that people can't see that its all red.

so you really wear glasses everyday? you don't have a 20/20 vision?

Haha, I own a grand total of 2 spectacles! But I don't wear them at all as I prefer my contact lens over my spectacles. It's not of vainity reasons, but more of a convenient option. I just hate my spectacles sliding down my nose everytime I perspire.
In the past before I discovered contact lens, well, I wear my glasses for everyday use and don't really bother about whether or not the colours of my glasses match my outfit. Lol, regardless of whether the colours of my glasses clashes with my outfit or not is secondary to me as long as my glasses serves its purpose of allowing me to see without any blurry lines.
I don't have glasses for different purposes and neither do I follow the trend. As long as I have a reasonably priced glasses that serves its purpose, I would be wearing that until it gets spoilt or gets bent out of shape. Nice to hear that you have glasses for different purposes.. Frameless glasses is nice to look at, but easy to spoil. Lol, I can't remember how many of those I had broke in my years of wearing glasses!!

haha =D Never trust what the shop owner or supplier says, unbreakable or whatever.. They will only work in the right terms and conditions, but dun account for human error.. lol =D MIne frameless glasses costs me about $100+ only as i know that guys and thus i got it chepa, but my 2nd pair was a little more expensive as it's slightly tinted and it costs $150+ ^_^
Metrosexual?? I'm not really one, but there are so many of them walking on the streets and u can find them almost everywhere.. haha =D But those are not real metrosexuals too, they are just vain.. haha ^_^
Well, my the other pair of glasses is with blue plastic frame, and so it's more suitable for my sports and runs, and also i need not match it with my clothings.. haha =D

Haha, frameless glasses are really easy to break isn't it? Yours break upon dropping of it! What a waste! Lol, and somemore, frameless glasses are not cheap! Mine broke when i accidently sat on it! And I went for the unbreakable glasses, which was a $200 more on top of the cost of the spectacles! Sad to report this, but their unbreakable glasses is not that unbreakable after all Take good care of your new frameless glass! You sure don't want it to break, don't you?? =D
The metrosexual guy who cares about his appearance! Hehe, I would really love to see a picture of you. Do you have it? Anyway, it's kind of hard to look good when one is in spectacles regardless of how careful we are in making sure that it looks good. Lol, the only safe way is to get white or black colour frame for our spectacles! At least those are the two colours that goes well with any other colours

I rarely wear eyeglasses except only in going to the beach or when my eyes get tired from looking at the computer monitor I am using protective glasses. Though, I try to wear glasses with different frame size, styles and colors I am still not at ease in using it. Their are times I try a tainted eyeglasses and I feel like a blind because I am already get use in looking at the clear background of the environment. I also feel like I could not walk on the road straight as I could easily stumble unless with much practice it is then I get acquainted in using it. I still prefer to use contact lens in cases my vision is damage. I prefer to use eyeglasses which is frameless and which fit the shape of my face. Do you wear glasses most of the times, kun??

Just one working pair.
It is a good idea you have that you use one pair for "normal" day to day activities and another for workouts. I wear the same pair for anything but sometimes I just don't wear when I am just running on my own.
I don't need to read so as long as I can see, that is good enough.

I only have one pair of glasses and that is what I wear everyday. Eye glasses are not very cheap so I don't think its practical to have so many pairs just for the sake of fashion. I don't go to gyms or have any sports either so I have no need for a different pair.

Well I only have one pair as my first pair is broken and probably not repairable. Something heavy squashed the frames. Before that happened I had one pair for my computer and one for reading.
Now I have to wear my reading pair at the computer as well as for reading and cannot get a new pair for my computer for another year or two. I do not wear glasses for fashion they are too expensive.

Well, since I couldn't care less about what I look like, I don't bother matching glasses to my outfits, but I do match them for what I am doing. I need different glasses for reading, TV, and driving, all to do with focusing at different distances.

I have owned from 3 to 4 pairs of glasses in the pass time,but I just had one in each time.I always bought a new one when the old one is breaking because of my strenuous exercise. And I usually bought same one which is made of the same style and material

I am wearing glasses from my school days.I used to have a single one all the time.Because I have to change my glasses periodically every year to suit my eye sight.So it holds no sense for me hold another pair which will be waste of money.But I had a cooling glass earlier before used to wearing glasses but I don't use it after I had to wear one permanently for sight correction.Cheers!
