Zenni glasses came...first time I've ever wore glasses

[rudeguy]

So I ordered a pair of glasses from Zenni and have a couple questions. I've always worn contacts, so please forgive my ignorance.

Is it normal to be able to see under/to the side of the lenses?
How do you get them to contour more to your face instead of just being straight across.
How the hell do you not keep staring at your nose?

 

[RESmonkey]

Yes.
Contour?
Look through the glasses?

🙂

The only way to get glasses that you can't see around the lense would be to get ones that literally touch your face, or ones that are gigantic.

 

[rudeguy]

Yes.
Contour?

Aren't they supposed to bend with your face? Like follow the curve of your forehead?

I know...I'm stupid about this stuff.

As an aside, Zenni has some great glasses. I honestly have better luck with their glasses than with expensive designer ones I got from optometrist. And even if you have to toss Zenni glasses, they only cost you 20 bucks.

contacts...but my run in with Pearle Vision has me leery about going back to the eye doctor.

Sounds like you're in the market for some sweet wraparounds...

As far as glasses, for about the price everything else was in my eye doctor's frame collection, they had one pair that just stuck out. I don't keep up with designers or anything, but I absolutely love my Kenneth Cole frames.

I prefer contacts, but I've been having a helluva time. My eyes hate me, I'm sure of it.
On Restasis now, and will be getting contacts with a more friendly material.

You might need to get the glasses adjusted to fit your face better considering they came from zenni.

That said, I've never heard of anyone that has contacts but never worn glasses. But yes, everything is normal that you're experiencing.

How did you measure your PD?

 

[lokiju]

Just get lasik and be done with it.

Be sure to go to an optometrist so you can get the glasses adjusted to fit your face better. You'll probably get charged like $2 or something.
