London actually has a glut of high minus sightings....never thought I would say this, but there are actually too many to process. At one point I actually wondered if I was hallucinating from lack of sunlight, but no, they appear to be real.
And when I say high minus, I mean at least double digits.
I have been thinking about it, and I think the prevalence is attributable to two main things:
1) London is a magnet for skilled labour from across Europe, Asia, Africa and even North America. A lot of this skilled labour are the geeky IT types; and
2) While a stylish city, people here have far fewer pretences and/or need for artifice than, in my opinion, the US or other parts of Europe. From this it follows (my theory) that people are far less likely to wear contacts for reasons of pure vanity (i.e. if they don't present clear visual advantages, whether perceived or actual).

thanks james, i too was recently in n.y.c. and for the second time inside of a month and on both visits i found guys with extrodinary heavy prescriptions,and thick glasses to go along with their prescriptions.....no other large city or small town that i have been to has had so many, but i do have several freinds here in tampa, florida who do have extrodinary high prescritions,one almost -15 now and the other with -18 in one eye and -8 in the other...they both wear glasses from time to time with real thick lenses, the one -18 you can see fotos of him on my web album, go back a few messages for the url...hope you enjoy....thanks....tivo....i'll post some of the other guy with -14 on my web album tomorrow morning......

I have recently relocated to the United Kingdom, and WOW, is London ever a place for MIG sightings. In my opinion, it rivals New York City, and even, and this part is almost unbeleiveable, Tokyo (where I lived for 2 years).
A case in point: yesterday I was at Sainsbury's (supermarket) in Balham, and saw a mid 30's ish guy in what were some of the strongest minus I have ever seen on a person who was not otherwise disabled in some way. Now I am a complete sceptic who tends to scoff at posters here who nonchalantly report myodisc and various other high minus sightings. But this guy had to be at least -14 (if I am being conservative) and possibly even -16. This was a handsome, hipstery looking guy (longish wavy hair), but the eyes were like pin pricks behind the lenses.
He had black plastic Armani frames, VERY narrow top to bottom and wide across the face. Had the thick arms in a way blended into the frames (i.e. not a sharp right angle) that obscured what could only be MONSTROUS edge thickness.
The strangest part: he had two kids, a boy and a girl in that indeterminate 8-12 age range - the physical resembleance removed any doubt he was their father, and NEITHER was in glasses. This was interesting to me, as even if their mother has the eyes of a fighter pilot, surely this guy's heavy dispensation for extreme myopia should have dented their genes somehow? Perhaps it is just a matter of time....
Many many other sightings of substantial myopes (and interestingly, hyperopes too) too numerous to mention.

Is there anything cuter than watching a highly myopic guy take off his glasses and rub his tired eyes at the end of the day? Maybe when he puts them back on and blinks hard a few times to try to refocus on the computer. God help me, I need to lie down with an icepack to recover.

Cactus Jack 18 Aug 2010, 12:29
Danny,
Very low if any. There is no displacement where the left side of his face is seen through the edge of the lens. Because of the camera angle there could be some correction in them and the displacement would not be obvious.

I'm never very good at estimating plus prescriptions, but this has to be in the double digits. The magnification is intense.
He seems totally accustomed to them. Too bad we can't hear what he's actually saying.
All4Eyes 10 Aug 2010, 21:37
This one's kinda funny. Methinks maybe the girlfriend has some OO tendencies, since she insisted he record an eye test and had tons of reasons why he shouldn't get the surgery.
All4Eyes 10 Aug 2010, 21:20
I know, I guess I'm happy for them too, if getting Lasik makes them happy. I just wish everyone was happy wearing glasses.

Well I mean its their eyes, their vision, they who have to put up with heavy glasses, so if they want surgery it's their privilege; as much as we might like to see them in glasses, it's kind of selfish for us to not want them to do it. Just my 2 cents.
tivosesante 09 Aug 2010, 11:27
i could feel that way i suppose, but rather i just create my own fantasies from foto shop and feel empathetically happy for those guys who get the operation and also get good results, think how wonderful it must be for them.....i have several freinds 10, to be exact who are very myopic and all of them have willingly posed before the lense for me so that i have been able to create the albums i have and to think about, why not go for the most ideal images if we have the tools to do so.....best regards....tivo....p.s. none of them, has yet to go for the operation, due to economic reasons, but many of them use cls. junior does them almost full time, but he is running into trouble all the time needing a higher script....elijah is very stable, but can not do contacts for a long period of time....latelle is going blind in 1 eye and is going for contacts, dayrle has gotten hi index lenses and will not use contacts, would never consider an operation.....and so on.....

As to the lasik and other operations, next to making me very sad that someone has invented this, I must say that in Europe (at least the continental part) there seems to be no big rush for it. People know it exists, very few do it but there seems to be no hype. Out of all the people I know only 3 have undergone lasik of which one was forced as he wanted to become a ship captain at that time (he was a -3, and is very unsatisfied by his night vision, plus he wears -0,75 again permanently)
What follows should be no offense to Americans it's just some thing I remark during the plenty of traveling I undertake:
I hope that with lasik it will be like with the automatic gear shift, big success in the US and in Europe a few think they need to have it but it is seen as boring and unmasculine by most that still like to have control over their gears (or the way they can change their look with glasses and contacts).
I also tend to find most Europeans more fashion aware if it come to glasses then the US (leave NYC and SFR out of it) where I find most guys with standard wired framed black glasses, and I tend to find less of a "season" for glasses then I find in Europe where often you can see trends shift within a year or to from plastic to wire to rimless etc.
Other remark that you can comment on: I tend to see a lot of glasses wearing guys in very rural areas where opticians are far away and fashion less important. Then I also find that in big cities there are quite some guys in glasses (often the air is polluted and dusty, and the metro is windy, not nice for contacts and there is usually a sense of fashion that allows you to sand ou of the crowd, hence you can wear you designer glasses). The worst I find is your average boring suburban area or mid-sized city, contacts seem to flourish there :-(
fracl 03 Aug 2010, 16:17
This is one of my favored recent finds. The glasses are by ic! berlin , brilliant glasses manufacturer, a brand that I got to know thanks to two years with a -8 myopic boyfriend who had bought some fabulous wired ic! berlin glasses

In the supermarket the other day was quite a guy in his early twenties with dark rimless non-rx shades up on his hair. But in front of his eyes were fine, medium-strength plus lenses shining like crystals in their small silver wire frame. Now I don't often go for plussies, but this one caught my eye. I wondered how his vision was outside with the shades but no rx.
Soundmanpt 03 Aug 2010, 11:37

i like you have wondered over the past few years why health insurers don't cover more that 10%, if that much towards lasik surgery. It seems they consider it to be cosmetic which is rediculious by most standards. I can actually understand that contact lenses come under cosmetic, because they are only an option instead of wearing glasses. Lasik even though this site is dead set against it as we all want people to wear glasses as much as possible is a basic cure for many vision conditions these days for many people. It has become advanced now to the point of near perfection. I tell people all the time I do think it will happen that insurance companies will someday cover it in full. Sadly that will be bad for us guys that like looking at a beautiful lady wearing glasses full time. Currently cost is the main thing keeping many from getting the surgery done.
By the way, have you found glasses that don't slip down while your working in the ER?
Jennifer 03 Aug 2010, 10:19
Having worked in health care in America for a number of years, I've always asked myself why the vision care industry doesn't cover lasik, etc as a benefit. If these procedures are a sure correction to vision, why not make it a covered benefit. Instead most vision benefit cover an eye exam and glasses every two years. When insurance companies start offering lasik as a covered benefit, is when the insurance companies are convinced of safety, cost saving, and permance of these procedures.
For example, in California insurance is covering gastric bypass surgeries for morbid obesity. The positive outcome of the surgery has convinced health care executive of the cost saving of these patients. This surgery is very expensive and requires several days of inpatient care in a hospital.
So when is lasik going to be widely accepted by insurance and covered as a benefit?
James 03 Aug 2010, 09:52
Just for the record, I was joking about the oversight committee. I am a militant libertarian in "real" life. It is your life and your eyes to do with what you will.
What I was not joking about was that people (whether having LASIK/ICL/whatever refractive procedure) DO tend to conflate "curing" their myopia with "correcting" it.
Because these procedures remove the need for external implements (contacts/glasses), people either forget (or don't understand in the first place) that the pathology of high myopia is still present. In my experience, this is true of even otherwise intelligent and educated people.
Cactus Jack 03 Aug 2010, 09:00
The Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) discussed in the videos is replaceable and therefore changeable. Unlike the IOLs used in cataract surgery which replaces the natural crystaline lens, the Visian lens is placed between the Iris and the crystaline lens, like an internal contact lens and it can be removed. The crystaline lens is not affected and it retains its ability to provide the focusing function for close vision. I have not checked the available powers for the Visian lenses, but I suspect the reason the -22 patient required additional PRK is that the the Visian lenses do not go quite high enough in power to fully correct his vision.
Note that the patients are all older than the mid 20s. I doubt any eye surgeon would consider ICLs for any patient whose vision was not stable. Even if there were some changes, they would be small and if the -22 patient wound up needing + or - 1.00 glasses or CLs, that would be almost insignificant compared to -21.00 or -23.00 glasses. I am sure the patients are well aware that the ICLs cannot alter the risks associated with very high myopia, but the risks would be there with either glasses, contacts, or ICLs.
To my knowledge, Visian lenses are not available in plus powers which would be of interest to those wishing to be more myopic. However, the minus lenses might be ideal for those wishing to be hyperopic (Tino?) if you can find someone willing to implant them. Because they do not become permanently attached to internal tissue in the eye, they can be removed if you change your mind, but it requires surgery.
For those wishing for more oversight. Remember, the ICLs had to undergo years of testing before approval was granted in the first place. But for increased assurance, perhaps this would be a good task for the Ministry of Vision. If the MoV gave their approval, you KNOW proper procedures would be followed and all implants would be 100% successful. If, by some billions to one chance, your procedure was not successful, you could complain to the Ministry of Complaints, just down the hall from the Ministry of Silly Walks, and they could put you on the list for your formal hearing to get on the list for having the problem fixed.

Jennifer 03 Aug 2010, 07:59
Wonder why they wouldn't have the guy in RGP lenses not wear his glasses? As a commercial to sell the procedure, it makes more sense to show how thick and strong looking his glasses are. It would convince the viewer more. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my end. I agree with the unregulated aspect of the these surgeries. Does anyone have statitics to show how many end up back in glasses after a few years? All of us have heard of the bad outcomes.
tinyeyes 03 Aug 2010, 07:03
Well said, James. I think you might be right about the lack of oversight of this industry. I'll be right there beside you on the council, LOL!
James 03 Aug 2010, 01:20
I am enjoying these ICL testimonials a lot! I found two more I enjoyed:
This guy was -15 (!!!) in his worse eye, and you can really picture him needing those coke bottles (something about big puppy eyes always signifies high myopia to me)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvUqrsHh48c
This guy you at least get to see in RGP lenses before his surgery (closest we're getting to "before" shots I think). Added bonus: you also see him getting helped blindly to the table....alas, no glasses in sight.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8jiLloWi3E&feature=related
What worries me about this industry in general, though (in addition to the obvious, i.e. that they're helping people get rid of glasses!) is that they seem to be making otherwise intelligent people think that this is CURING their myopia, rather than just CORRECTING the error in much the same way (albeit more conveniently) as glasses or contacts.
I think this explains the nonchalance of the -22 guy - he clearly believes his myopia is cured. Otherwise he would NOT be going skydiving at that Rx. Any responsible opthalmologist would tell him that, at that Rx (which he still has, just corrected), he is at ALARMING risk for retinal detachment, cracks, tears etc when doing things like skydiving, scuba diving etc.
Also, the fact that they did PRK on a -22 (where they are actually SCRAPING at your cornea, or at least part of your eye) is completely outrageous to me. The industry definitely needs more oversight. I submit myself as head of the oversight council that will grant/deny high myopes applications for refractive surgery. I will be very strict.
tinyeyes 02 Aug 2010, 20:17
Nice job faking the pic of the -22 ICL guy. It's surprising how nonchalant the guy in the video is about his surgery -- I mean, if he was -22.00, it's truly a miracle for him to get to 20/20 without glasses! It's hard to imagine him in -22.00 glasses (and can contacts even correct that high an error?) But I guess it's true.... it just seems strange that his testimonial is about the same as someone with a -5.00 talking about how they can swim without glasses now, etc.

Thanks to this new implantable contact lens procedure, even the super high myopes can rid themselves of glasses/contacts. At least it's reversible -- without the implant, his eyes are still just as myopic as ever.

I am a 29 yrs old, my rx is -7.50 in each eye, and I wear contacts a lot more often than glasses. It probably has to do with the fact that I feel self conscious of wearing them in public, mostly because of my prescription. Still I find girls who wear glasses an a big turn on.

Hi all,
what a great place to enjoy my fetish - somehow it could not be that I was the only one.
I am a 28 old woman, contacts wearer almost full time, -6/-7. I feel very unconfortable in glasses and I find it's a turn on so see a guy who is just the same.
I have to say that I am estimatig the power of lenses since I am 14?/15 y.o. I just didn't know the word "cut-in".
So I enyojed your sightings very much. So I gonna give you one of mine, some years ago.
I went home form a club with a really hendsome guy, very athletic, musculous and a great dancer. After making out a bit, he excused me to take out his contact lenses. Wow - how great was that? Than he dissapeared into bathroom, came back to the bed and while sitting next to me, he pulled out his contacts. Absolutely Amazing. He told me that he is like -7. At that time I was still -5 and so it sounded strong to me. He did not put on his glasses and so I was sure, that his vision must have been blurry. Later he dissapeared again into bathroom and I was able to make out his glasses on the writing desk. Silver rectangular metal frames with nice and stong looking leses.

A beautiful sighting yesterday afternoon. A guy 18-20 out with his family wearing silver semi-rimless - the type that's hinged at top squared corners, with rounder edges to the bottom of the lenses. The striking thing was his new and deliciously thick lenses glinting in the bright sunlight. A standard-index -5, I'd say, when so few do standard index now. I love the way new lenses appear so clean and bright.

Tinyeyes,
Blind links are just a link with no accompanying text describing the content. They are much more likely to result in requests for removal from the content owner. To cut down on aggravation among Flickr and YouTube users, as well as bloggers, I ask that links come with some basic description.
It's also a courtesy to users here, so we can decide if it's worth a click or not.
Your flickr link is fine. But I still wouldn't have any idea what's behind your YouTube link unless I clicked on it. How about "French guy with rimless" or something?
Hope this helps.

Derek is a real find--thanks. Note how the newer, thicker-framed glasses accentuate the thickness of his lenses.
On another note, Sweden's Princess Victoria was marreied yesterday to a commoner named Daniel Westling. Look up the wedding pictures--he proudly sports some pretty hefty lenses in a thick black frame, unusual for something as formal as a wedding picture.

ok.... i think i like his old gasses better...something's not quite right with the new pair...but it's just my opinion.
btw, how old is elijah? does he own any older pairs of glasses? will be keen to have a look.
Also, any idea why he is so willing to pose for the pictures? Do u know him very well? Does he know that his pictures will be subjected to the fantasies and imagination of some of us here?

I'm about -9.5 in glasses these days. I'm a little younger than David Lee King, so no readers yet, but I feel it coming. In RGP contacts I'm about -8.5.

Hey Tinyeyes -- How strong are you glasses now? I agree with you that David King is a hottie: not great-looking just so sexy.

Thanks for that -- David Lee King is so sexy. He's -12.0 and he looks so good in his powerful specs. He also has readers he wears with his contacts, but of course I much prefer him in his coke bottles!

Hey Jennifer - he was convicted for marijuana possession - so not exactly white collar, but hardly a mass murderer either.
Here's another shot of him, which shows that first picture was no trick of the camera, this is a SERIOUS Rx (any guesses?):

Jennifer 30 Mar 2010, 09:52
Very interesting find, Sam. I wonder how the other inmates treat him? Does he get teased or is he a tough guy that no one messes with. Did he commit a white collar crime? Or is he a bespetacled thug? Makes me wonder. I enjoy seeing glasses on those guys we wouldn't imagine usually wearing glasses.
tinyeyes 29 Mar 2010, 19:55
I do find that hot. He probably sleeps with his glasses on or under his pillow.
If he woke up without them in reach he'd be helpless.

Found this (amongst many others) while doing a project on the Florida penal system.
Nice strong Rx. As an OO, I of course like to imagine others stealing and/or breaking his glasses. Sadistic? Maybe, but there are no rules for fantasy.
More to follow.

Nice minus Rx:

Cactus Jack 12 Mar 2010, 08:01
mattp,
You can get and idea of the approximate size of a glasses wearers field of vision by observing the appearance of the eye from the side. This is because most optical systems actually work in both directions - looking out and looking in.
If you look closely at the glasses as the young man turns his head, his eye disappears from your view point very soon after he begins to turn his head away from the camera. When you can no longer see his pupil, he cannot see objects at that angle (actually, a bit less) from his central axis of vision. He likely has very poor peripheral vision. Strong plus glasses tend to act like telescopes or telephoto lenses because of the vertex distance of the lenses from the cornea. The enlarge and focus the image on the retina, but reduce the visual field.
Minus lenses can have an opposite effect. If you look closely at a person wearing fairly strong minus glasses, you can see their eye at pretty close to 90 degrees from their central axis of vision. They, of course, minify the image and act, to some extent. as wide angle lenses.
Very high plus or minus lenses tend to provide the best visual acuity when the central axis of vision coincides with the optical center of the lens. This means that people who need lenticular plus lenses or myodisc minus lenses are pretty much forced to keep their eyes looking through the center of the lens and move their head rather than their eye to see things well that are off the optical center of the lens.
C.
P.S The two way characteristics of optical systems is why the examiner can determine your approximate Rx by looking in your eye with an opthalmoscope, retinoscope, or auto-refractor.
tinyeyes 12 Mar 2010, 07:09
Dave is very cute! I'm usually not that into plus but he's an exception! The frames are very small for such a strong plus rx, aren't they?
mattp 12 Mar 2010, 05:41
Here's some strong plusses--I wonder what Dave's field of vision is like with his glasses on! Yet I suspect without them, things are pretty blurry.

Anyone following the "Jihad Jane" story today will have heard the name Lars Vilks. He's a controversial Swedish cartoonist at the centre of an alleged murder plot, but most importantly, a SERIOUS myope!
For me, he's the archetypal sexy older guy, but I could be biased by the glasses.
What do you guess his Rx is? I'm gonna say double digits for sure?

I am with tinyeyes on this one, not sure of the rx but his right eye seems stronger. Cute dude
Myopic Grant 22 Feb 2010, 08:32
When you look at him in the pictures straight on, the cut-in looks about the same. I would say he's in the -6 to -7 range...
tinyeyes 22 Feb 2010, 07:30
Is it me, or is his right eye more myopic than his left? There seems to be a lot more cut-in on the right side. LIke maybe a -7/-10. He's a really sexy guy...

I mainly agree with you guys. One other point: I'd have expected more cut-in and power rings for the thickness (compare with geektron's images).
Whatever the deal, though, I've rather fallen for him. (And I found him first, Tinyeyes!)
Maybe he's going through a 'Jey Ping Phase' - a high myope making the very most of it. JP seems to have moved on. Pity. But he hasn't completely disappeared:
http://www.jeyping.com/photos/16s.htm
tinyeyes 11 Jan 2010, 23:57
I agree on all counts, EXCEPT someone with a high RX like that might be wearing RGP contacts, which usually cause a more "squinty" appearance rather than the more glassy-eyed look of a soft lens. But I still think it's a fake. Cute cute guy though!
James 11 Jan 2010, 23:06
Definitely a faker/GOCer - here are the signs:
1. NOBODY who genuinely has a double digits prescriptios DOESN'T try to get the thinnest glasses possible;
2. 95% of the photos on the flickr are about the glasses, and make explicit reference to the glasses, indicating a fetishist;
3. Even high myopes don;t have their prescriptions "double" in "a few years". And in the rare instance that it did, you would surely be AWARE of this from your escalating contacts prescription....?
4. The photo where he is supposedly wearing contacts reveals that he does not have the tell-tale big, doe-eyes of double digit myopes.
Wish it was real though....
tinyeyes 11 Jan 2010, 20:50
I'm suspicious.
lentifan 11 Jan 2010, 11:30
They look real enough to me. He complains about the thickness, but some of us would give our right arms to be able to wear glasses like that. And some meddler is offering to get him thinner lenses. Away with you!

Cactus Jack 04 Jan 2010, 04:27
Guest,
The picture is not very good, but it appears that there may be a significant amount of Base Out prism involved. The inner edge is hard to discern, but it appears to be very thin compared to the outer edge of the lenses and there is a pronounced prismatic shape to the lenses. Could be in the vicinity of 15/15 BO, but you really can't tell much about the overall Rx and nothing about his orientation.

tinyeyes 24 Nov 2009, 12:44
Yes, he was fantastic, but somehow the blond guy with sixties horn-rims was even better! Maybe because his look and style suggested that he normally or at least sometimes wears contacts, which is something I like.
Obsessed 23 Nov 2009, 20:49
Tinyeyes -
That bald guy is strong specs was definitely a fantastic sighting!
tinyeyes 22 Nov 2009, 21:53
Good day for glasses sightings today --
First at the gym, a hot bald/shaved bearded middle-eastern type guy with super powerful minus coke bottles (maybe -9 or 10)... it was nice watching him do situps lying down so that the thick concave edges of his lenses were visible...
Then, a hipster tattooed guy with long straight blond hair at the supermarket (with wife and child in tow) wearing big 60s retro frame black glasses. Deep cut in and power rings and also around -8 or 9d. I got the impression he was taking a weekend break from contacts. Nice....

Kevin & guest.
I think that most myopic men over 35 have become so used to wearing their glasses that they are simply part of their wardrobe. By then, they are probably well beyond any vanity considerations and prefer the good vision provided by the glasses. Vanity may occasionally raise it head when presbyopia gets them and they have to consider bifocals or progressives.
C.
Kevin 15 Nov 2009, 14:25
Maybe it's just a stereotype on my part but most men over 35 if they're myopic tend to wear there glasses all the time no matter how strong they are.
guest 15 Nov 2009, 05:57
Kevin
What do you mean, at his age its usually all the time no matter what the strength is? Do you mean older men tend to wear fulltime even if not very strong??

Kevin 14 Nov 2009, 15:42
I saw Ricky too. I think he is only around -2 so I think it might be a personal choice to wear glasses. Though you don't see many men his age that wear glasses for short sight only sometimes, its usally all the time no matter what the strength is.

First bespectacled contestant I've seen on the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing is Eastenders' Ricky Groves - don't know who he plays as I'm not a fan. Have seen him in rehearsals with specs but never on the programme. When people commented he said "it's the first time I've seen what everyone looks like". New prescription I wonder?

Myopic Grant 13 Nov 2009, 08:02
Yeah, I think around -6 on those glasses. He's cute even though he's definitely got the whole Jeffrey Dahmer 1980's glasses going on. I'm sure he has different frames now with that being 10 years ago. I'm surprised someone like him who would endure that kind of jarring wouldn't opt for contacts...glad he doesn't though.

Another recent sighting...
We were on the road in Long Island going to the North Fork. Got stuck in traffic at some point. As we stood there in the jam, a car pulled over next to us. There were two people in the cae - a driver and a passenger. They were discussing something actively. The driver was a gorgeos middle-aged American with a classical goatee and an amazing arms and hands. He turned his head in our direction once and stared at me for a second, but the look in his eyes was very empty for some reason. After a minute or two a couple of cars in front of us moved a foot or two forward, so the hot driver of that car was stopped from talking by his passenger and asked to go forward, as well. Can you imagine how delighted I was when I saw that he took a pair of ridiculously strong negative glasses off his lap and put them on his face? His RX was probably in mid double digits. Definitely over -12. Amazing... I was happy like a puppy :) The guy looked at the road and squinted a few times (probably checking if the focus was right ;)). Very nice thing to see in the middle of a difficult day.

I had a very cool sighting today. I was taking a little walk in New York with a friend of mine. I kind of felt hungry-ish and asked my friend if we could go somewhere and have a bite to eat.
When we entered the cute little Indian restaurant on the corner of the street and ordered our meals, a man walked into the restaurant with a woman (probably his wife) and sat down at the table next to ours.
He was probably half-Latin-American, in his mid 40's. Not slim, but not terribly overweighed. Very good looking. And on the tip of his nose he had a pair of fairly strong plus glasses (Rx +5..6). They added so much to his looks! I was even slightly disappointed that they were all the way down on the tip of his nose - clearly a pair of reading glasses (quite strongish though). He was going through the menu...
My friend distracted me for a while, and I got back to looking at that man after about 10 minutes. By that time we had all gotten our meals and were enjoy eating. The man's glasses were still down on the tip of his nose. Suddenly something really noisy went by on the street.
(suprise)
The man lifted his head, looked up, realized that he was totally helpless --- and slid his glasses all the way up to the bridge of his nose in order to make out what was going on out on the street.
I was delighted completely. One of those moments when one feels there IS heaven on Earth!

Didn't com across any of him in contacts. But I imagine his face would look "naked" in contacts - tends to be the case for people with high RX's anyway

Tinyeyes,
I don't normally pay much attention to this thread, but I think you are correct in asking if this is an "enhanced picture". The cut in does not appear to me to be optically correct. You can see the temples in the cut in, his hair line and the colored back drop, but no obvious ears for the temples to be resting on. If you enlarge the image there still are no ears. He may be myopic, but not as myopic as it appears.

In the US Big Brother, one of the contestants, Jeff wears glasses occassionally. My heart fluttered a little during a competition and he said, "I think I just lost a contact." And sure enough, later on that night, he was talking in the Diary Room wearing glasses. An already GORGEOUS man, but the glasses take him over the top.

-14 is about what I was thinking. The glasses are pretty large for such a strong RX -- I bet they're quite thick. I really have a bad case of glasses fetish, because to most people this guy is a mega-nerd (even without the glasses) -- but I find him attractive.
James 07 Jul 2009, 07:02
His left eye in particular is SUPERMYOPIC. You could see the whole world through that cut-in, if he wasn;t standing against a wall.

I would have to guess that Mr. Helms's glasses are more in the range of -6 to -8, just because mine are -7.5, and I have noticed about the same minification looking straight on, that is -- the amount of inset of one's face/head as it is reduced through the outer edge of the lens. At any rate, nice to see a star unabashedly wearing some powerful glasses.
tinyeyes 19 Jun 2009, 23:03
James-- thanks, those are great photos of Ed Helms that I hadn't seen! He is indeed a hottie in his glasses. Amazing cut-in on some of those photos! He must hate wearing contacts, because he is seen in glasses quite a lot. I think he wears hard contacts, by the way. I agree that the RX is very close to -9 or -10. Yummy! It's especially amazing to see a famous actor wearing glasses so powerful in public. Now if only Jake Gyllenhaal would wear his!

Tinyeyes - wow! We must have very similar tastes, you have snowballed a total Ed Helms fixation for the past few days. I even look at him differently now in The Office (where his character never wears glasses) and it now seems OBVIOUS he's in some seriously strong contacts.
What do you think his Rx is? I'd venture -9 or even -10, but I;m quite bad at estimating.

The other day I logged on to bukbuddies for the first time in ages, to find that the latest feature was a remake of 'The Band' featuring Dylan and Judd, both of them in glasses in quite a lot of the shots. The pics are mixture of new ones and 2003 shots, but they weren't available before - without paying to join, that is. These are the first 'new' shots of Dylan in glasses for five years, though he was squinting in some more recent ones, so I guess he hasn't gone for contacts, let alone lasik. It's no longer the 'front page' feature, but you can find it at http://www.bukbuddies.com/bukbuddies/dylan/catalog7/catalog.html

There are two best glasses moments in the video:
1. when he takes off the glasses and blinks confusedly at the audience
2. much later in the video, after they show the clip of the reality show that JT is producing, Jimmy says "you're going to get sued for that show. You'll have to sell those glasses" and JT looks amused but embarassed...

Julian 05 May 2009, 00:46
Let's hope not. This quote suggests not:
When the famous singer Justin Timberlake appeared with glasses on his nose last week, everyone thought that it was just a part of his new image. However, the singer admitted that unfortunately, a new fashion accessory is not in question, and that he needs the glasses for his poor eyesight.
Whilst on the late night show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, Justin said to Jimmy “That’s just ridiculous... I can see you, but I can’t see any of you” (audience).
Timberlake is short sighted, and does not have a problem with having to wear glasses.
“I’ve embraced it (bad eyesight). Obviously I’ve made a commitment with these glasses. I’m good” says Justin.

On further reflection, I am thinking the recent glasses wearing may point to upcoming LASIK......?
James 05 May 2009, 00:28
I have never actually seen Justin Timberlake in glasses, so these recent photos were surprising. I had kind of decided he was one of those celebs who would NEVER wear their glasses in public.
While the Rx seems disappointing, and he does NOTHING for me sans specs, the glasses do get him a second (ok, and third) look from me.
Any guesses on the (mild) Rx?

That's quite something for Bukbuddies these days; a few years ago it seemed as if any guy who had glasses would wear them for a few shots: Dylan, Darrel, Derrek, Daniel, and of course Jude and Simeon who were never without them.

All4Eyes 21 Apr 2009, 09:23
Tinyeyes, you did catch the only episode of American Idol where Darling Danny wasn't bespectacled. When I saw it I thought how much more fun that would have been back in pre-contacts days when you'd know he was bare-eyed and blurry, instead of wondering and thinking he's probably in CL's. But I think maybe he just enjoys being bare-eyed sometimes, because in some of the off-stage things I've noticed he will be wearing glasses at one moment, off the next and back again. I do strongly suspect he is One Of Us and I've considered sending him a bit of fanmail to inform him of our whereabouts, but I'm not sure, I understand some people are a little freaked out by us, at least at first 8-/. Anyway, I'd say -5 is a pretty accurate-sounding rx guess, I don't think -4 or less, I'm -4 and they do look a bit stronger than my glasses.

I think I probably saw the one time he didn't wear glasses on American Idol, but I now realize he wears them a LOT. I don't know if he's got a fetish, but he definitely likes them as a fashion statement! I thought his RX was like -5, but now it seems more like -4 or less. I read one article that said his vision is 20/200.
James 17 Apr 2009, 00:43
Tinyeyes,
On the contrary, Danny Gokey is a total OO glasses fetishist who seems to favour glasses over contacts. Granted we're a bit behind here, but so far, he has worn a different pair of glasses in every episode, and NONE of them are rimless, blend into your face glasses, they're loud and proud.
I even read an interview in which he rhapsodises on how much he LOVES glasses.
What do you think his Rx is?

I haven't been watching American Idol this season, but hey! Check out Danny Gokey -- usually in contacts, but also sometimes in glasses (at least offstage)!
Just do an image search on google for him to see glasses pics. Maybe -5ish?
Clare 14 Apr 2009, 14:05
We watched Gok's Fashion Fix tonight on Channel 4 and thought his over large glasses were a little overdone. Shame because his slightly less large frames in the previous series were rather stylish. Not sure I get this retro/big thing.

Also, when I post Youtube links, there are often related videos that come up that would also interest you, but I don't always post everything I see.

matt P, I saw Michael Jordan's son on Yahoo. I also read some of the comments posted about his picture. Some comments included, "With the money his father has, you'd think he'd be able to afford contact lenses." Another person questioned why he didn't have lasik done on his eyes. I was surprised by the hostility towards his glasses and the goggles he wears while playing basketball.

Carter--Where/what is chicken island?
On another note, watch the news for Marcus Jordan, Michael Jordan's son. He wears glasses all the time--even playing basketball--he seems to have a significant but not huge amount of nearsightedness. His choice of Central Florida for a college is a news item on yahoo, and video clips of him are all over youtube.

One of the times that the Folger's commercial was aired was a couple of weeks ago on HGTV during Design on a Dimes Top 35 tips episode. In that episode, Spencer, one of the designers, who's a myope, mentions that he got the job because they liked his glasses.

marsh 21 Mar 2009, 14:48
Hi VFL, interesting, I have the same problem. I never told countless others what the few told me. Who knows what the future would have held in store? I think they were all good people and no mistakes. VFL, you still did not give me your RX and age? I'll give you one more story- (I was invited to the home of someone i was doing business with in pa. when i got to his house his w was a -15 and a good cook,(I was -11 then) I of course said nothing about our coke bottles and had a good prime rib dinner. Years later, he told me he got divorced and remarried an old gf from wva. Several month after, he knew i was in ohio temporarily and after going away for weekend, i found a note that his ex was at friend for weekend in ncanton and looked me up to call her there. I got back tuesday, called her friend and she said, "where was i, __ came all the way here just to see me. I never called back, embarrased.) Later,VFL, come back with those answers! have you been to lenschat? ciao
VFL 21 Mar 2009, 06:43
So it seems that all of these women had very substantial prescriptions of their own. Interesting.
I'm not a shrink. I've spent years trying to figure out why I love men in glasses so, though. Maybe that counts?
It is not only the glasses that attracts me. The man has to be attractive to me anyway. But the glasses have to be there to complete the attraction. So I would say that what is going on wit;h me is a fetish, though not in the purest sense of the word. That said, I have been very vulnerable emotionally because of this. There are several times in my life when the man behind the glasses was not worthy of the affection I bestowed upon him. I got it all mixed up in my mind because the attraction to the glasses was so strong. This derailed my younger, single life in more ways than one.
I never came right out and told a man that his glasses turned me on. One did say that he thought that they did. I didn't answer. Wonder what would have happened if I had. I'm afraid it may have diffused the magic.
That's all for now.
marsh 20 Mar 2009, 14:49
VFL, you're something else. I felt all you said, it was long ago. one(a-13) stated the thick glasses attracted her, she didnt know why, but then she liked what was behind them, I believed her, another (-7)after pushing on sofa said she was attracted to the glasses - but didnt want me wearing them inside, she didnt either in her house?? There are more but not now. I was suprised, embarrased and relieved because i was self conscious too. The relationships did not last, -7 was too princess and spender$ (she married rich canadian)and -13 went back to school, with her kids, to be a psych. Yes its different? Yes it was "tingling" not to be worried about whether or not date liked the coke bottles (I hated c. lenses) I was self consious as youger person, now i dont care. Are you a psych? or similar or what? Whats your RX? tell me about your situations - in detail ciao marsh
VFL 20 Mar 2009, 14:08
Really, Marsh? Tell me what those girlfriends said to you when they admitted that they liked your glasses? How did that make you feel? Did you believe them? Were you surprised? Embarrassed? A bit shy? Were you more aware of your glasses after they "declared" themselves? If so, in what way?
I wear glasses myself...contacts more often so I "know" what it is like to need correction. There's nothing very romantic to it in reality, but the idea of it in a partner is something quite different. Wonder why that is.
marsh 20 Mar 2009, 09:47
b4 I saw this site, it was unusual for anyone to admit this but a few gf's did, I subconsciously felt everyone was looking at me, in younger days, at -11 with coke bottles. I am now at 60, cataract implants for the -11, with -4 left over in glasses, with the new interest and openness, I'd wear the -15's !!
VFL 20 Mar 2009, 08:00
Yes, it is the "almost never takes them off" part that is so endearing. Even when they come off for just a moment or two, it can be such an emotionally charged moment. Once a man I was absolutely crazy about was sitting next to me, in the middle of a conversation he took them off to polish them and looked me in the eye (how much he could see was debatable because of the thickness of those lenses) in such an intense way that I nearly had a heart attack. I will go to my grave believing that he knew exactly what he was doing to me. If he had taken off his clothes it wouldn't have sent more of a message in my mind. A few moments later, he turned back to the task at hand and in the act of replacing the glasses, the spell was broken and normalcy returned. It has been years and I still remember.
Kevin 20 Mar 2009, 02:03
Does anyone know if there's a gay dating site for guys in glasses?
tinyeyes 19 Mar 2009, 21:17
I dated one guy who was about a -9, and when he slept together, he would put on his glasses if we woke up at night, even in the darkness. I guess he could see a little in the darkness and he wanted to be able to see it clearly. He also put on glasses to use the bathroom etc. during the night, even if not turning on the light.
On another subject, I had a good sighting today at the gym -- haven't had that many lately! Very tall white guy, late 30s or early 40s, light complexion with brown wavy hair, and (of course) extremely strong minus lenses. The frames were metal and were very small to keep the lens thickness down, but they were still thick with deep cut-in. I think he was around -12 or so. I see that even though larger frames are in vogue these days, the really high myopes are still wearing small styles, out of necessity. I find that very sexy of course. Tiny glasses work very well for tiny eyes!
eustace 19 Mar 2009, 20:19
VFL: I'm with you! I particularly responded to your "almost never takes them off." I have fantasies about guys who almost never take them off--even to shave, shower, swim, make love, or have sex. Nothing is more exciting that the guy who does not take his glasses off until he is in bed and has turned out the lights, who puts them on if he must go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and who gropes for them first thing in the morning before he gets out of bed. The thicker the better. And bifocals, trifocals, and prisms are even more of a turn-on. I love that image of helplessness. I even have some fantasies about guys who are so insecure without their glasses that they sleep with them on!
Doreen 19 Mar 2009, 00:34
VFL: I absolutebly agree with you!!

Eric 18 Mar 2009, 02:59
Kevin, I would say nearly all men in Singapore are nearsighted. Many are wearing contacts, but still the vast majority in glasses. Even with those middle-aged and older, rarely to do you see a pair of regular reading glasses---most are nearsighted with an add for close-up work.
VFL 17 Mar 2009, 13:50
Without fail, a handsome man who wears glasses and tickles my fancy, can drive me absolutely crazy by removing those glasses to either polish them or rub his eyes. Extra points if he almost never takes the darned things off. There is a strange intimacy in that act.
Am I the only one to feel that way?
Kevin 17 Mar 2009, 11:27
Eric that story is amazing. Is it like that everywhere in Singapore?
By over here I mean America, have you noticed more young children are wearing glasses. Where I work when I notice a kid with glasses, there is normally a myopic parent if not both and strong RX.
Cactus Jack 17 Mar 2009, 06:51
Kevin,
I'm not sure where "over here" is, but I have seen evidence of connecting glasses with intelligence or education occuring in the US.
Some years ago, I noticed a small group of 3 or 4 teen males in a local supermarket, all wearing glasses. At one point, I got close enough to overhear their conversation and notice that none of the glasses had any prescription, in fact the lenses still had the tiny designer logos that you find on glasses on display in optical shops. Their conversation was in English and it was obviously their mother language, but it was also obvious they hadn't paid much attention to proper usage in class.
Apparently, these young dim bulbs felt that wearing the non-Rx glasses would make them appear smarter, improve their grades (?), or perhaps make them appear more attractive to potential mates. There is an old saying that if the girls were attracted to boys that walked around on their hands, many hands would have calluses.
I later wondered, but not for long, how they got their glasses.
C.
Eric 17 Mar 2009, 05:31
I am an accountant in Singapore. We used to have only one guy in our office who did not wear glasses for nearsightedness. After working here about a year, one day he comes in wearing glasses---strength looked very weak, but I think he did not want to be out-of-sync. Now he wears glasses all the time.
Kevin 17 Mar 2009, 03:06
Do you think that trend will follow over here? My dad is -5, now I'm a -8, I have 3 brothers and they're all myopic, although I have the strongest glasses.
Cactus Jack 16 Mar 2009, 19:22
Kevin,
Unless there is a genetic technique developed to cure myopia, I suspect that it will only take a few more generations for almost all to be myopic. There will likely be a very few who aren't, but most will be. That population is very prone to myopia and the ones who study, become prosperous, and have children, who study, become more prosperous, etc. will likely overwhelm the rest. People in Singapore are pretty intelligent to start with and I suspect that high myopia is associated with scholarship in the society. Those few who aren't myopic will probably try to induce myopia, do GOC, or have some form of surgical "correction" so they will not appear less scholarly than the rest of the population because of group pressure.
C.
Kevin 16 Mar 2009, 18:20
I just read that 90% of students in Singapore are myopic, now I'm just wondering how long do you think it will be until the entire population are myopic. My guess is around 2080, what does everyone else think.

guest 555 - it is not the retinal detachment that causes high myopia, but the other way around.
your prescription after a detachment is usually the same, it is just the visual acuity that may have worsened, depending how quickly it was repaired.
also, it's not only the extreme myopes at risk - anyone over -5/-6 (which i suppose non-OO's WOULD consider very high) is potentially at risk, because their retinas are stretched very thin.
Here's a good article on the main ways to repair retinal detachments:

WOW, that's all I can say about that German guy! his lovely chubby looks are so enhanced by those coke-bottles!

James 03 Feb 2009, 03:37
The heavy Rx at least explains why he wears frames that are clearly too small for his face.
I read an interview with him in which he said he had retinal detachments in BOTH eyes at the age of 20 - this also maybe explains why he doesn't wear contacts, even though it would probably have helped his political career.

James 02 Feb 2009, 03:52
OK, so I've now posted my favourite photos to the LOTS OF LINKS thread. There are lots - I just couldn't narrow them down further.
Here are some of the things I love about him:
1. The temples of his newer glasses don't really fit properly over his ears - this is weird (and also titilating) as he clearly wears them ALL day EVERY day and yet somehow this issue never came up
2. The glasses also aren't wide enough for his (lovely) face - this is highlighted in all the frontal photos.
3. He just keeps his eyes closed even when the TV make-up person takes a break from applying his make-up, realising there is little point in opening them while not wearing his coke-bottles.
4. The way his face gets fatter during the course of his campaign, especially in the chin area (glasses + chubby face/jowls = HOT!)
James 02 Feb 2009, 02:26
So I've been scouring the internet for the last few days poring over every photo of Thorsten Schaefer-Guembel ever taken. There's a lot of stuff on www.zimbio.com and www.daylife.com (I may post my favourites later).
Late last year he also changed frames, and by the looks of it, even had a bump in already hefty prescription.
This photo is particularly interesting - it's obviously a campaign photo that's been heavily airbrushed to make the glasses look less strong. This airbrushing is clearly highlighted with him standing in front of it.

Any guesses on his Rx?
VFL 30 Jan 2009, 14:15
Aw, Mits, see?
Give the girl what she wants. Take her along to help pick out the frames. Make it a date!
Mits 30 Jan 2009, 12:47
I am 42 and finding I need to lift my glasses up to read up close. Looks like it may be time for bifocals. That may be why I'm not doing well with my contacts.
By the way, VFL, I asked my wife if she ever thought my wearing glasses was at all sexy, and she definitely answered in the affirmative. Who knew?
I think you've made me decide to ditch the contacts and go to the optometrist for a prescription for bifocals and get new glasses.
Dieter 29 Jan 2009, 18:49
jojo,
This conversation hijacked this thread, but . . . . .
Like everything, there will be at least two sides to every story. The OOs will love your glasses but there will be many others with a different opinion. Suffice it to say, that you can't please everyone. Still, isn't it nice to know that in the eyes of some, you have something very special.
jojo 29 Jan 2009, 16:50
thats really cool, i do have a lovely husband who looks sexy in his glasses although he prefers contacts, he would also prefer me to wear contacts so its nice to know not everyone feels that way. he has had people say horrible things about his glasses in the past which i think has made him feel really self conscious and put him off the whole glasses thing
Dieter 29 Jan 2009, 12:42
jojo,
To add to your excitement, optical obsessives will find you the most desirable. When wearing glasses you will "transgress to a higher plane".
VFL 29 Jan 2009, 10:30
That's great. Now we are all made up and can be friends again.
Let's clean our glasses and start anew.
jojo 29 Jan 2009, 08:00
sorry guys i didnt mean to offend at all course im not anti gay! i was just so excited when i found this site to think there are guys who would actually find me attractive when im not wearing contacts!
VFL 29 Jan 2009, 07:45
You all are very dear to me. I don't know how my life could have ended up any happier than it is, though.
There is nothing more charming than the sight of a handsome man wearing a well-chosen pair of eyeglasses. Absolutely nothing. Just the thought makes my pulse race and my knees grow weak.
Nearsighted, farsighted, astigmatic, presbyopic or a combo of the above. It doesn't really matter. One younger guy with blended bifocals nearly had me drowning in my coffee cup a few years ago. I've never seen them before or since. He was a cute 30 something attorney with big brown eyes. Nearsighted. Most all of my nearsighted guys have had brown eyes. Has anyone else ever noticed that?
But I do prefer that the man need to wear the glasses full time.
Charles 29 Jan 2009, 06:43
VFL
The thought of what might have become of you is quite an exciting one.
How I wish in my younger days, when my myopia was increasing steadily, I had realized that some people might have found my glasses attractive.

It is very reassuring, but not entirely surprising, to find passionate women (VFL, Katy and Jennifer) moved by thought and the appearance of males in glasses. VFL we know well as a transparently passionate person. She writes as she speaks, and she is driven by feelings. Music, poetry (and myopic women) do it for me. They are triggers to the extreme emotions which many, but not all, possess. With passions, come mood swings, and cycles of elation and depression. It make life, and the persons involved, all the more interesting. I imagine that the poetry of Wordsworth or the music of Beethoven would not exist if they were not people of passion. Be bold and true to yourselves ladies, and continue to enrich the lives of those around you!
ehpc 28 Jan 2009, 13:25
Do you girlies have the same general prefence for minus MIG that many men (definitely myself:)) have for minus GWGs? I never know how much minus I am. About minus 6 or 7 I think..........................
Pete
Mits 28 Jan 2009, 11:37
In case you all were wondering, I can make it to and from the bathroom in the middle of the night without my glasses, but I do take them with me so I can see to shave after my shower. And for some reason, I can see the clock onthe nightstand OK without them -- but if I get more than 16 inches away, I cannot.
I have contacts, but I think I actually see better with my glasses on.
Jennifer 28 Jan 2009, 10:45
Definately Katy! The prescription at the end of Mits post did get my blood pumping! I think he did that on purpose (knowing what it would do to us!)

Guest 555 -- What bar and where?!?!
Katy 28 Jan 2009, 09:26
For me, Mits has just demonstrated what VFL was talking about, that glasses can change our perception of a man (which isn't always good). Before, I thought Mits sounded narrow minded and judgemental. Now he has put his prescription on the end of his post I think 'Ooh, he sounds nice!'. Hmmm.
Phil 28 Jan 2009, 09:06
Restraint is the difficult bit. But you are right Jennifer: a non-OO is easily spooked. As you say, every OO needs another! I wish I'd married one. If I had known what I know now I wouldn't have settled for any less. But when I was younger I just thought I was a bit "odd" being attracted by glasses! I've never mentioned it to my wife: she'd call me all sorts of names if she knew.
Jennifer 28 Jan 2009, 08:59
Mits, I think most of us have learned a great deal of restraint when it comes to our attraction to a man in glasses. The last thing we want to do is scare the guy away because he thinks we are more interested in his glasses. To this day, I am very guarded about the strong attraction. I have strong thoughts about the guy, but am very careful to never come across inappropriate. Although, I have to stop myself from starring at a handsome guy with glasses, many times. Maybe this is the forum where we can express our true feelings about that good looking guy with glasses who crosses our path. I do often wonder what it would be like if two OO's ended up together? Wild sex! Wow
Mits 28 Jan 2009, 07:48
VFL,
I didn't intend to be mean to you. I do appreciate your affinity for men in glasses. It just sounded like you were in bed with ALOT of men in glasses. But then you explained that it largely fantasy. That's fine! We all fantasize, don't we?
Mits

Katy, I do, I do! I'm much more of a mig now. I don't wear at work but I wear throughout holidays and weekends, and going to and from work. It's a necessity! At -4 I am at last finding it difficult to function bare-eyed! I couldn't follow TV programmes, I was smiling at all the wrong people (which was going to get me into real trouble one day) and I couldn't find anything in shops.

Katy 28 Jan 2009, 02:24

Phil - I think you have to actually wear your glasses to qualify as a mig - there is an 'in' in there... ;-)
VFL 28 Jan 2009, 00:34
Dearest Charles, I only wonder when I were a single girl years ago what would have happened to me if the internet had been so popular.
Phil 27 Jan 2009, 10:07
Jennifer, Katy and VFL, it's a great thing for us migs that there are girls around like you. Especially when you are gwgs yourselves.
I wonder how many mig/gwg couples there are where both are OOs? I observe quite a lot of couples where both partners wear specs. But what I read here indicate that in many partnerships one is a reluctant gwg/mig non-OO and at best tolerates the optical interests of the other.
Is there any OO here who has an OO partner?
Charles 27 Jan 2009, 09:38
VFL
As far as I know, I am one of the most myopic men to come here. If only I could have met you years ago!
Jennifer 27 Jan 2009, 09:26
Katy and VFL, it's comforting to find there are other girls out there similar to me. Through the years, I have done some crazy things to get close to a man in glasses. I have to say that glasses wasn't the only thing that got me going. There had to more to it than that. I remember one incident in my younger days, when I was seeing a very handsome, MIG. Went to meet him at work and saw him without his glasses. I knew that he needed his glasses badly. Turns out he broke his glasses in a fist fight. It was his only pair and was struggling to get through the days until he got a new pair made. What turned me on the most was that he really needed those glasses! He complained of headaches and it just made me melt. I wanted to comfort him and pamper him. I knew how nearsighted he was. Oh, he was so cute with or without his glasses! OMG!
guest555 27 Jan 2009, 09:19
Sorry guys, but this dissertion about whether glasses on a guy leads to explore the dark sides of soul's getting kinda out of place... VFL, I'm sure you're such a fine lady and to be treu and honest, if I was str8 I'd love to be with a girl like you, who besides my thick glasses likes my spirit, anyway... I wanted to tell that just the other day I went to this gay bar and I saw something you don't get to see every day, a guy about 40-something, fair skin, average built, cropped hair, both ears pierced, wearing black leather boots, pants and jacket, and bearing some of the thickest eyeglasses I've seen. They were light-grey tinted myodisks with quite a plus carrier and fitted in an oval shaped plastic black frame... at first I thought of them as plusses with a reading add, but after a closer look and examination I realised they were myo's... not the biconcave type, but the single one... When he arrived I noticed most guys just took a look at him and got off right away... In my case, I'm not a big fan of skinhead leather guys, although I guess the leather bit was OK on hi, he had a decent looking body, but if it wasn't for the glasses I wouldn't have given him a second glance! When I went to the john I saw him closer and I saw both his eyes very extremely tiny behind them, almost impossible to see since the reflections were very extensive. I noodded at him, he nooded back and went off... since I was with a friend, I coudn't tarce him...I'm hoping I can go there once more and maybe get to see him again, so I can get a chance to chat with him...
Katy 27 Jan 2009, 08:08
VFL, lol, I don't think Mits sounds like he would like to be smacked, but that's a whole other story...
Looking back, I can't believe some of the things I have done because of men with glasses. I know exactly how you feel, all reason goes out the window. It's as though it has more control of me than I do of it. But I don't think I have much choice about it, it's always there, whether I want it or not. And you're right that's it's a mixed blessing - it makes life more complicated, but a lot more interesting... :-)
VFL 26 Jan 2009, 18:39
Thank you for coming to my defense Katy. Mits is mean and should be smacked.
It is all about thinking not acting. Aren't most of our glasses thoughts fantasies anyway? Mine are. Sometimes they overwhelm me. I'm a very sensitve person. Men I fancy who need glasses to see clearly make me come undone. It is my Achilles heel so to speak. I look into those corrected eyes and lose control of all reason. It has gotten me into trouble in more than one occasion. I give too much emotionally because of it. That is a very bad thing because sometimes the man behind the lenses is not worthy.
Definitely not worthy. But the glasses (and the power rings) draw me in. What can I do?
If you can only say something snotty, don't bother to comment. Remember, I am a real person and a real woman and not a fake. This is as raw and as real as it gets. I am putting it out there for all of you like minded people to see.
Dieter 26 Jan 2009, 14:14
Well said, Pete!
As far as glasses being considered sex toys, they do a lot more for me than anything else. But especially when they are real. Everything else seems like props, including fake glasses.
VFL, hope that helps.
ehpc 26 Jan 2009, 13:58
Being a very 'straight' man, I see stylish glasses on women as a sign of intelligence, competence, courage (look at me- I'm a hot GWG!!!), confidence,and the woman having her head together. That's the turn on for me.......................Pete
Katy 26 Jan 2009, 13:44
Mits - I think you're on the wrong website, or at least the wrong thread.
Glasses and S&M equipment do have some things in common, if you see glasses as a sign of vulnerability and helplessness, which quite a few people do.
If you had read what VFL said, she was talking about *thinking* about guys, not sleeping with them. But if she wants to sleep with them too, then that's up to her :-)
Mits 26 Jan 2009, 12:07
VFL,
What are we supposed to say? You seem to equate glasses and hopping into the sack with a guy. Do you really sleep with that many men, or do you just make it sound like that?
We need our glasses to see, and for most of us, that all it is. They are not some sex toy like a vibrator or S&M equipment.
VFL 26 Jan 2009, 08:55
It would be really nice if someone would respond to what I said. I am a very real person and kind of going through a hard time. You could say I'm asking for commiseration. Or help so to speak.
VFL 25 Jan 2009, 16:21
Wilder. No one in my real life knows how I really feel. I hide it really well. I have this ability to make every man who wears glasses that I fancy to take them off almost immediately and place them in my hands.
It is a mixed blessing and curse. I lie awake nights and re-live these moments.
Thank God I hold myself so well.
Now you know.
Alan 23 Jan 2009, 04:26
How can anyone not realize this is a wig - and not just any old wig, but the worst in US political history? It's not just his glasses he has to take off at night.
Phil 23 Jan 2009, 01:31
Oh Clare, I hate to think of you being lonely! Why don't you pop down to one of the many optical stores and get a test and some new specs? Hong Kong's a veritable cornucopia of frames and lense-types!
Mits 22 Jan 2009, 14:57
VLF,
Are you as wild as you sound?
VFL 22 Jan 2009, 14:13
I don't think it is a wig. I think he just has a rotten hairdo. Poor boy needs to grow it out and get it styled. He probably goes to an old fashioned barber who takes his glasses from him and only gives them back when the "deed" is done.
He has potential. But I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers if you know what I mean.
Clare 22 Jan 2009, 10:27
mmm I'm not sure if he's wearing a wig.
But it maybe that I'm just sad and lonely and jet lagged and working in HK this week ;)
VFL 22 Jan 2009, 05:08
He is beyond handsome. I'll campaign for him and clean his glasses before every speech. It will be a sacrifice on my part but somebody has to do it for the good of the country.
tinyeyes 21 Jan 2009, 22:39
Yeah, I realized that after posting this. There is a lot of stuff on the internet about whether he is wearing a toupee. I think it may just be a bad haircut. I originally saw a really cute picture of him in the newspaper, where his hair looked great. Well anyway, he would be handsome if bald, too, I think. But definitely needs to get a better haircut and/or get rid of the toupee if it is one!
Myopic Grant 21 Jan 2009, 21:14

Todd 20 Jan 2009, 16:11
There is a grocery chain in my city which tells its employees that if they have been prescribed glasses they must wear them at work. They need to be able to see across the store or across the parking lot, so no matter how slightly nearsighted, or farsighted for that matter, that someone is, they have to wear their glasses.
The result: a lot of young stockers, checkers and bag boys with glasses. Same with the female employees there, too.
I wonder if they grew "dependent" on their glasses this way? Do they just become full-timers?
Cut-in UK 19 Jan 2009, 13:20
JoJo; assuming you are female, at -10 you are a goddess to many of us ! Tell us a little more about yourself and your optical history and how you feel about wearing glasses.
Myopic Grant 19 Jan 2009, 09:21
In regards to Joe Jonas, I think in the first picture, the pair of glasses he's wearing are someone elses. He's doing a face that looks like he's just put on someone's glasses and he's saying, "you're SO blind." even though they look to be only about -2.00. Plus they look like female frames, and not a style that would suit him. It's hard to tell in the second picture, but there looks to be very little prescription.
ehpc 19 Jan 2009, 07:35

And you're probably right about Craig's voice. The one problem with David King -- he's a straight man!
James 24 Dec 2008, 05:23
Me too. There's something about David King's baldness, piercing blue eyes and clear comfort with and acceptance of wearing glasses that makes him sexier than Craig could ever be.
Craig is also sexy, at least until he starts talking. I tend to turn the sound off on his YouTube videos.
tinyeyes 23 Dec 2008, 22:18
Well if I had to pick, I would have to say I find David King much sexier than Craig. I'm not sure why. David's VERY nerdy, though! Funny, they have about the same prescription.

Dear Jo,
Do you know the name of the girl failing the eye test ?
Thanks
Jo 06 Dec 2008, 01:50
he's one of the guys. but admittedly, he kinda resemble a girl...
Seeker 05 Dec 2008, 18:45
The guy at the start has a great squint and he's probably not the most myopic. Jo is it the other guy or one of the girls.
Jo 05 Dec 2008, 05:12
basically, he was telling how he once rode bare eye on a scooter, when he was younger with a prescription of -5, and was caught by the traffic police, cos he went past them without seeing them. the name of this guy is "高山峰" (gao shanfeng) and you can do a search for him if you like. But mainly, the pictures of him are without glasses.
tinyeyes 04 Dec 2008, 22:26
That's a wonderful video! But of course I can't understand a thing. I love the guy who shows up around 4:30. What is he talking about? Can you translate?

hi nzoptic,
thanks in advance for your consideration. but before you get around to doing that, here's my contribution.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BK2jHu2Bkk
this video shows some taiwanese selebrities talking about their struggle with myopia and sometime into the show, they even put on their prescription glasses, with the highest among them having double digits. if you understand mandarin, there's even part one and two of the video where they discuss about their issues with more depth. enjoy.

HI Emily gosh i,m shocked at the rapid increase of your RX over a couple of years, your RX has almost doubled, going on at theis rate you will need myodisc glasses, how would feel weaing those glasses. Hope your doing well at Uni long time since had sent you a little message. take good care Martyn
Martyn 27 Nov 2008, 16:13
HI Tinyeyes, i have a friend who is a professional photographer, he always likes glasses wearers to take their glasses off especially if they have a high minus RX,
10 the lenses can act like mirrors and distort the picture. 2) the eyes are an important part of having a good pic taken.
Wearing high minus RX glasses the glasses are noticed more than the person behind them.
I agree take your specs off to have your pic taken.
Emily 27 Nov 2008, 16:09
Tinyeyes -- Over -2 each diopter correlates to about 20/n, so -8 would be about 20/800. I'm -14.50 and my optometrist says I'm about 20/1,400.
tinyeyes 27 Nov 2008, 13:49
Yeah, people tend to have most of their pics taken without glasses unless they wear them all the time (sometimes even then!) Does anyone know the RX for 20/800? I'm guessing around -8 or so, but I know it doesn't exactly correlate.
russell 27 Nov 2008, 11:23
Concerning the discussion board mentioned in the previous post: isn't it interesting that so many of the guys say they love their glasses, never go without them, or prefer to wear them over contacts--and yet, their pictures are bare-eyed?
tinyeyes 26 Nov 2008, 16:43
Just found a glasses discussion online at this website: http://www.realjock.com/gayforums/250818/
Most interesting was this cutie,
http://www.realjock.com/profile/?id=145647
who says, "I almost always wear my contacts (RGPs) instead of my glasses. But this isn't for vanitys sake. My vision is horrible (somewhere around 20/800) and the lack of peripheral with the glasses drives me crazy. Plus to not have the glasses be thicker than coke bottles and extremely heavy on my nose, I have to get the smallest frames available. Which severly limits my range of vision to what is directly in front of my eyes. Then I can't just move my eyes to look at something I have to turn my whole head. However, if it weren't for the limited vision I would probably choose the glasses because the upkeep on the contacts can be a pain sometimes. And I definately agree that some guys look really hot with the right pair of glasses."
Too bad we don't get to see him in his glasses, because they sound like high-minus wonders!
tinyeyes 24 Nov 2008, 00:00
Thanks, 6.0. You look great! I would love to see you in your high-index lenses, too. This reminds me of a few years ago when my then-roommate had a friend visiting who I discovered wore hard contacts and VERY thick, large outdated coke-bottles not unlike the ones you're wearing in the videos. His RX was around -9 (very close to mine). At the time I had a pair of high index glasses with very small wire frames that were quite thin. I tried on his glasses (when he wasn't around) and realized our prescription was almost exactly the same. I was amazed that I could have such thin lenses, yet still see clearly through his thick glasses! They must have been about 3/8" of an inch thick. Although quite a bit older than me, he was very attractive -- tall and muscular. I only saw him wearing the glasses early in the morning a couple of times during his visit. I still wonder what he would have thought if he'd tried MY high-indexers on. He never knew anything about my fetish or my attraction to him.

Interesting few months watching Kevin Rose--former Tech TV host, founder of Digg and current Diggnation host. Back in May he put out a tweet that said, "I need glasses - I've denied it for a long time, but the time has come - not all the time, just for certain tasks. Suggestions?"
http://explore.twitter.com/kevinrose/statuses/822088479
Then in june during Diggnation episode 153, he tired on his co-host's glasses and exclaimed, "Holy Hell I'm blind." among other things.
http://revision3.com/diggnation/2008-06-05epic/
Finally this week, he showed up wearing his own pair. Interestingly the episode was done as a multiview, meaning the viewer can chose from multiple camera angles--including one that's a close up of Kevin and his new frames.
Decent frame selection. And the lenses while not high for this crowd seem not unsubstantial for a first prescription. Hopefully he will wear them often, despite his protestations at the opening of the episode.

Eustace 28 Oct 2008, 04:20
I appreciated Kendyl's honesty regarding the Matt postings. I agree that it might be a good idea to have a separate thread for those of us who would like to share our fantasies (and get reactions from others) but who are not quite ready to complete (or send to one of the fiction websites) a finished story. I have lived in a fantasy world since childhood--many (but not all) of them sexual. I too have many ideas for stories but just don't seem to have the time (or maybe the self-confidence) to sit down and write a more complete story. Or, I keep changing things around in them. It would be nice to be able to float an idea for a fantasy and solicit reactions--sort of a writers workshop approach, I guess. I WONDER IF WURM WOULD CONSIDER A SEPARATE THREAD FOR SUCH? It might be simply called "Fantasies" or "Stories in Progress." I can understand that many posters in Eyescene have serious questions and problems that they wish to share and to get advice on--or even just true experiences and sightings that they would like to share. They should not have to sift though our fantasies.
Of course, I would prefer separate threads for gay fantasies and straight fantasies--but I suppose us "Fantasy Psters" could begin our posts with some kind of label--Gay Men, Gay Women, Straight Men, Straight Women, etc.
What do some of the rest of you think? Also, it would be great, if someone would send a post giving the contact information (e-mails, etc.) for getting stories "published" in one of the fiction websites--all in one directory.
Kendyl 27 Oct 2008, 22:22
For those of you interested in the "Matt" postings, please refer to my posting in XXX Links ONLY if you are not offending by honesty!
Eustace 27 Oct 2008, 14:36
Very interesting exchanges about Matt's postings! I was not duped by this one. I have been fooled in the past. For example, Mark who claimed to be extremely myopic (with trifocals, as I recall), hearing aids, paralyzed from the waist down, a wheelchair racer, and with an entire family with vision and hearing disabilities (and even a brother who was a double amputee)! And then there were the teenage twins who had rapidly-worsening vision and hearing. Actually Matt's story was rather exciting, if just a bit too pathetic. (One of the most unconvincing lines was the one about his not having an old, back-up pair of glasses--because his mother insisted in giving all of his old glasses to charity!) Actually, Matt could work this into quite an erotic story for one of the gay glasses fetish websites: Those mean locker room boys could strip all of his clothes off and throw him into the shower (with his glasses on, of course). He could then bargain with the gang that, if they would promise not to touch his glasses, they could "have their way with him."

tinyeyes 24 Oct 2008, 22:23
Regarding the fake stuff, I guess I'm pretty naive. I really thought the Matt story was real. I guess because I was bullied as a child, I was more susceptible (although it wasn't because of glasses per se). To me, the internet seems like a place where there is no reason to lie, because it's all relatively anonymous, so it strikes me as odd when people do it. I guess some people get a kick or a turn-on of some kind out of making up a story and getting reactions. I would think they wouldn't waste their time on online pranks -- wouldn't it be more fun to play a joke on someone in person, so you can see their reaction?? Oh well, go figure.
Wurm, thanks for running the site and taking care of all this!
Julian 24 Oct 2008, 16:54
Well Kendyl, there are places for posting glasses-related fiction. There are Yahoo groups called 'glassesfetishfiction' (the founder of which has resigned and left me i charge!) and'gayglassesfetishfiction'. I have seen another site too, which I found much more sexually explicit and less congenial. And then of course there's Bobby's wonderful archive at http://bobbygoc.sweb.cz - I suggest that's the place for writing fantasies, though I must admit I used EyeScene in this way in the early days - and I wasn't alone in this either.
Kendyl 24 Oct 2008, 13:30
Is it against the websites policy to post fictional stories to fulfill fantasies? I thought this was what the website was about, for OO's to come together and be able to share their stories/fantasies/etc and maybe some are true and some are not true but where else are we going to post our fantasy stories about glasses? Maybe I was wrong about the purpose of this website but as I posted, I have been coming here for years and years and generally post under a different name because I usually go awhile without posting.
Wurm 24 Oct 2008, 13:06
I might add that the usual internet caveat applies -- don't start exchanging personal info with someone you aren't certain about.
Wurm 24 Oct 2008, 13:03
No worries all. I have the distinct advantage of visitor log data to review.
Maybe someday I'll post my list of dead giveaways, but I think Julian's approach has a lot to recommend it (take posts at face value unless something really jumps out at you). No sense in everyone getting all paranoid - that's my job!

VFL 23 Oct 2008, 09:39
Katy, that lens thickness and the power rings does me in every time. If it is the right man who really does it for me he could be reciting the phone book and I would be mesmorized. The first time I saw a handsome guy in obviously strong rimless glasses with highly polished lenses I nearly tripped over a Manhattan curb at rush hour. (Of course without them he would have as well.)
It just goes to show that the best things in life are free!
Katy 23 Oct 2008, 09:07
Alan - wow! 'I want to show you the edge thickness'... :-)
Galileo 23 Oct 2008, 08:18
Well I read Matt's posts and I immediately though "fiction". Wurm (as usual) spotted the inauthenticity. Stories like that are just too stereotypical, even down to the prescription.
Alan 23 Oct 2008, 01:14
Looks as if Wurm is keeping track of urls to identify fictional posters - ie, people who post bogus autobiography. Good. It's annoying enough to have what are in effect short stories published as real testimony - and really sad when people manifest genuine sympathy or are otherwise taken in. Wurm, since the bullshit detectors of regulars on this site don't work very well, I'm glad you're activating yours!

I am not sure what is going on with this website but it seems that certain posts are being deleting intentionally and I am not sure why. I have been visiting this website/posting for about 8 years now, going on 9 and at times I do change my name because I go awhile without posting and at the time, feel a different name suites me best.
Wurm 22 Oct 2008, 10:43
One username per person, please.
If you are a regular with an occasional alter-ego, I can tolerate that. I'm more concerned with people who try to develop a suite of characters on the site, or are serial trolls.

Matt - don't give up on us. Many of us have been through the same thing and together maybe we can help you through this. I know how tough it must have been to be bullied and then embarrassed by mother nature and left blind and hurt. Speaking for myself my heart is with you.

He's 25 years old. We don't live in the same city, so it was basically a one-time encounter. In the end I think it was more of a friend vibe for me, even though the glasses were amazing. Unfortunately, I may have scared him off, because he won't answer my email!

tinyeyes 14 Oct 2008, 20:29
I was out of town this weekend and I met a guy at the gym who wears -13 glasses...we talked and ended up hanging out for a bit, but it was kind of an awkward encounter. He was 25, from Taiwan and has only been in the U.S. for 2 years. When I told him I liked his glasses, he was very surprised and told me how he hates, hates, hates wearing glasses (Which is understandable) It makes it weird and awkward when someone is saying they find the glasses a turn-on, since it's a very negative thing to him. I've found this before with guys, but it was especially so with this guy. He told me didn't get glasses until he was 10 years old, and was a -4 at that point. He tried some kind of Chinese medicine thing to correct his vision without glasses, but it didn't work and within a couple of years he was -9! I think it was a very traumatic experience for him. By the time he finished high school, he was up to -12. He said he's tried contacts (hard RGP) but finds them very uncomfortable. He's hoping to try for Lasik (probably impossible for him) or ICL or PRK. I wanted to discourage him, but I understand how he feels. Guys with OO fetish are few and far between, and in the gay world it can be tough for someone who must wear -13 glasses all the time!
As far as how we met, I saw him as we were both coming into the gym together at the same time, and did a double-take when I was how strong his specs were. I said hi, not even sure if he was gay. As I worked out, I couldn't keep from looking at him because his glasses were quite unusual with lots of cutin and distortion (of course). Finally, he came up to me and started talking! Very nice guy, but a bit of a language barrier and also just beginning to come out. All in all it was an interesting experience!

[NOTE: This is a repost of a previous message. We are trying to reach the widest possible audience, and we apologize if you see multiple copies of this message.]
Dear readers (man or woman),
We are a group of scientists from Sweden and Italy doing research on sexuality. Many sensitive issues in sexuality are poorly understood, mostly due to lack of research. To partly remedy this, we do research on "fetishism", broadly defined as sexual preferences that are both fairly strong and not very common. No moral judgment is implied: we simply view fetishism as one expression of human sexuality.
We post here to advertise a survey that targets people who are sexually aroused by a partner or potential partner wearing EYEGLASSES/SPECTACLES. To take the survey, click on the link below. It will take at most 20 minutes to complete the survey. We offer a substantial privacy guarantee: no sensitive data will be monitored or stored at our site, only the answers you explicitly provide.
To take the survey click:

guest 13 Sep 2008, 09:39
Lately there's been all this buzz about Sarah Palin's glasses. What about Barack Obama? I recall seeing a lifesize cutout of him at Union Station in DC and I swear he was holding a pair of glasses with minus lenses. Anyone know if he is myopic?

James, he might not be an oil painting nowadays but 25 years and 25 pounds ago he might have been. Also 25 years ago was pre high index lenses. He is definitely in the double digits. I hope you get the opportunity to meet face to face someday and that you get to talk about and try those glasses on.
James 03 Sep 2008, 11:19
I have this weird thing where I have to google the people I am exchanging emails with at work to check what they look like.
and today, I unearthed this gem:
OK. so he is no oil painting, but there is some quite considerable myopia there to be sure.
Can somebody hazard a guess? I was thinking definitely double digits, but not too sure whereabouts....

For those of you who watch Project Runway would have seen that Keith was let go last night. He was cute and probably was around a -3. I counted about three different styles of frames that he wore...

I agree, he's dreamy, although without the glasses he'd be much less so. I think -13 is a good guess for the RX. Maybe even higher?
James 19 Aug 2008, 00:55
Tinyeyes,
WOW! That guy leaves me a bit breathless and at a loss for words.
A dream guy in every sense of the word. And clearly so confortable in his glasses, because he has no other choice. Also not a heavy duty contact lens wearer (I scoured all the pics), and his face looks kinda naked without the glasses.
Also a dream Rx....am very bad at estimating, but I'd say well into double digits, say -13....your thoughts?

WOW guys... GREAT new links! I'm still digesting all this.... especially the two Asian guys... gosh, Asia and Asians are such paradise for high myopia OOs!
James, I agree with you about the Singapore politician... he's quite striking with those small frames. It's hard to guess but I would he's closer to -15 than -10. Maybe some of our Asian readers can enlighten us, but I think double-digit myopia is quite ordinary in places like Singapore. I think these days, really small frames have fallen out of style somewhat, but they continue to be used for people with really strong RXs to keep thickness down. It also helps hide how small the eyes look in relation to the glasses frames. It's definitely hot! Good find.... I also LOVE the guy who posted his RX slip.
As for the French guy, who knows what he's saying? Those myodiscs he's wearing are intriguing. Any idea of the RX there?

He also has a blog. It's pretty dry, but there are links to lots of videos (better quality) of him speaking:

So my usual question: can anyone guess the Rx? Watching the BBC story (Gaaaah! I wish I could find a video link to it) I was SURE it was well into the teens, but now, I'm starting to doubt myself).
PS - sorry for doing this in 4 parts. There is obviously a limit on the number of links per post that I was not aware of

This morning on the BBC World New Business programme, they had an interview with a Singaporean member of parliament. Needless to say, after I saw his glasses, I completely lost my faculties and could not remember, if my life depended on it, what the interview was about.
OMIGOD. Such strong glasses. what's funny is that the BBC cameraman was a closet (or maybe not closet) OO. More than once, he filmed through the lenses of this guy's glasses, and you saw the TINY interviewer on the park bench next to him.
Anyway, I've scoured the internet, but alas, it is not to be found, even on the BBC's gargantuan website. It had the feel of a filler story anyway.
Here are some pictures of him found during my Friday fodder of procrastinatory internet perusal:
This one, his parliament website photo, does the Rx NO justice:

Just had a similar experience to the one I posted the other day...I was at the gym (one I don't usually go to) in the locker room, and had another one of my contact-taking-out viewings. But wow, this was a really good one! The guy went to a locker near mine, and I immediately noticed that he was very good looking -- tall, very nice build, white, early 30s, short brown hair with a slightly receding hairline, looked like a hunky young attorney. He was all sweaty from his workout. I didn't pay too much attention until -- of course --- I saw the glasses case and contact lens case come out of his locker. He took the glasses out of the case, then uncapped the contact case and started pinching out his lenses. The contact case was resting on the bench behind his glasses, and I could see that the contact case looked very very small through the lens of his glasses. Yes!! He held the case very close as he put the last contact in, and then put on his glasses. Oh wow, this already very hot guy looked SO sexy with his black rim glasses on, his blue-gray eyes tiny, his RX about -8. The lens edges stuck out from his frames quite a bit too. VERY nice.... and he looked really relieved to have his contacts out, too. I watched him as long as I could...but unfortunately I also noticed a wedding ring. This guy was so my type, I was getting kind of a weird heart-pounding feeling.. I love when that happens!

Tinyeyes... that sighting about the guy removing his contacts sounds just great!! I've done that myself b4 taking a flight and on some other occasion, (like when I'm at work and my contacvts start bothering me after some hours in front of the screen) and I've found people looking at me with a mixed thrill and surprised look... I guess it all has to do with most people thinking that the putting/taking out contacts thing is one of the most difficult tasks in the world, and watching it being done with such ease and calm... don't you think??
tinyeyes 21 Jul 2008, 08:30
I was traveling this week and as usual, had a number of interesting sightings. Airports are great for seeing a variety of good looking guys, many with surprisingly strong RXs. One fun sighting was in the airport bathroom, where I saw a very cute guy in his early 20s taking out his contacts (probably in preparation for a long flight). Then he took his glasses out of a case, cleaned them carefully and put them on. His RX was only about -3 or so, but watching a guy remove contacts and put on glasses is a favorite fantasy for me.
Also, at the event I traveled to, there was a tall, ex-military type guy, late 30s maybe, who wore glasses around -10. What made it more interesting is that his glasses were large round wire-rims, and very thick with flat fronts. They looked like they were from the early 1990s. The cut-in and concentric rings were amazing! He had light blue eyes that looked small and distant in his specs. I think they may have been CR39. I remember when that type of glasses were popular and I miss it a little! I saw him switching from the glasses to a pair of RX sunglasses once, but he was too far away for me to check out the sunglasses. They must have been thick too! He made the switch seamlessly, using one hand to remove his glasses while the other hand brought the sunglasses to his face.
VFL 21 Jul 2008, 01:05
Yup, I'm a gusher all right.
Isn't it funny that something that lots of people find a "negative" is a "positive" in our eyes?
It just goes to show that as my grand-mama used to say, "There is a lid for every pot."
Love makes the world go 'round. Our little "quirk" is part of that. There is nothing wrong with it or bad. It's just a piece of human nature that has somehow manifested itself.
You say that you are English and traditionally educated. I am going to say it outloud...smart is sexy! And oh, gosh, by golly, that accent is also cute, cute, cute...uh, and darling as well. Glasses are something that smart people tend to "need." (In some cases dumb people as well...ha!)
I am all passion and expression...but, gosh, isn't this glasses thing great? There are other "quirks" in this world, but isn't ours just the greatest? It is so common and doesn't hurt anybody.
You guys in your specs...cute, cute, CUTE! Thanks for lettin' me look...
Cut-in UK 20 Jul 2008, 23:57
VFL, I'm with you all the way on the effect of power rings. For me it is that flicker as a -5 to -7 woman turns their head slightly towards you and half a dozen or so rings suddenly fill the side of the lens! It is a defining moment, even though I do not have the gift of being as overtly expressive or passionate as yourself,(I'm English, and traditionally educated!) I can still sense that trigger of a 'rush'. It really is great for those O-O's who have the 'ring thing' badly. Also, I'm aware that even that phenomenon has variations, as you clearly get the 'rush' with even higher myopes, straight-ahead. This is really the wrong thread; more technical than gender-specific, sorry, but I love a girl that 'gushes'.

Why, why, why is that "negative" in so many people's minds...my turn on? Sometimes it is just stupid to ask why... Ir just is.
Freud would have a field day with me. Jung...well, even though he stood on Freud's shoulders would NOT agree...

Eustace-
It was the labs decision to roll the edges and my guess would be they would be a few more mm's thick if they had not done so. The lenses are 1.60 which I presume is in the middle neither high nor low. I started wearing glasses when I was 4. I wear both lined bifocals and progressives with a +3 add and have no problem switching between them. The index of the progressives is 1.67 and are 13mm. BTW what is your RX?

14: The thickness of your lenses is most impressive! Am I correct that if you had not had your lenses rolled/beveled they would have been even thicker? Do you have high-index lenses? You have probably posted more details re you Rx at some point in the past, but I don't recall. How old were you when you first started wearing glasses? And do you have bifocals, trifocals or progressives? Again, my apologies if you have posted all this before. As you can see, I am very curious about such things--not to mention very detail oriented!

Looks like soon your username will also be your RX. My -15.25, 11BO are 1.60. even so the edges are almost 18mm thick. The lab rolled the edges but they still touch my cheeks. I wonder how thick they would be if they were CR39s.

Eustace:
I really think guys wearing glasses AND braces look adorable since it creates such a thrilling "tender and vulnerable" look, besides, kissing (or blow-jobing) a guy in/with braces it's such a hot experience. I can tell on both sides being myself a wearer a few years ago and believe me, every guy I kissed commeented on how good it felt! (man, it sounded like me being such a manwhore! damn! LOL) I think it all has something to do with the little scratching sensation.
Regarding the "28" guy in the videos, his strong plus glasses are something really hot, although as you mentioned, they don't have the same power as a pair of strong minus... anyway...

However, I did not think his frames were very flattering--at least for his face. He appeared to be a high hyerope, and I must confess that I am much more attracted to high myopes.
Cactus Jack 15 Jul 2008, 17:37
Brian-16,
With your Rx and prism, CR-39 is an extremely good choice. It has extremely good optical characteristics and a much better "Abbe Number" (a measure of chromatic and spherical aberration characteristics) than most high index materials until you get to optical glass. With prism, the good abbe value means minimal color fringing. The only downside to CR-39 is its relatively low index of refraction (around 1.50) which means that the lens will be comparatively thick.
C.
Brian-16 15 Jul 2008, 15:34
Eustace - The lenses are about 11mm but just less than half an inch.I have never asked if they could make them in high index.I guess they could.I always am interested in checking out guys in strong thick lenses.
Brian-16 15 Jul 2008, 15:30
guest555- A lot of times when I am out the guys ask me if my glasses are "bullet-proof". I just let the comments go by.By the way corrected I am 20/30 overall.But I am content with that vision level.The doctor said thats because of some muscle problem from a long time ago.My friend does have 20/20 but always says things look a little smaller and distant.He does not go to the same doctor I have.
Eustace 15 Jul 2008, 15:27

Guest555's latest post arouses more questions from me: (1) I would love to know how thick your lenses are on the outer edges--either in inches or centimeters. (2) Are you attracted to other guys with very think lenses?
(3) Could your Rx be refracted in high index, if you chose?

Brian:
My comment was merely based on the reactions I've got myself from my circle of gay friends and people I've met so far as a -10 wearer (got new glasses recently and jumped from -9 to -10) ... they are like "such nice eyes and face and those weird glasses" but all I do i caring less than nothing. As long as I can see, it's all that matters. Just like you, I'm never fully corrected, all I can get it's a 20/40 due to some corneal issues but is ok, I'm still pretty functional and I can drive in daylight. As for you glasses, they sound really amazing, being so thick and yet you like them!! You must look really hot and interesting... what do guys at clubs ask you about them? When I was younger I used to care a lot about mine, but nowadays it's something I enjoy, all the attention and stares I get with my glasses... My former BF was very supportive and grew to like them a lot, he insisted me on wearing them as much as I could, and now I think of it, I think he might've turned out to become a little turned on about being with a high myopic guy...
Brian-16 14 Jul 2008, 13:50
Eustace- Yes my friend and hang out quite a bit this summer.My brother,not so little now still has bifocals.I do have base out prisms with good old CR-39 lenses as I love thick glasses especially at the edges.

If the man looks good in glasses I take a second or third look.

More questions for you: As I recall you have prism lenses, but I cannot remember whether you have high-index lenses. (But I always forget: Can prism lenses be made in high index? Or is it astigmatism that cannot be corrected with high indexes?) And I am also wondering if you ever convinced your little brother to get trifocals. And what about your high school chum? (Do you still see him? As I recall you were going to different colleges.)

Brian-16:
It was good to see your recent postings. I believe that we "joined" Eyescene about the same time--when you were only 16, I think. It's hard to believe that you are now 22, so that was six years ago! I especially remember your posting that you shower with your glasses on (as I do having been inspired by you)--and that this way your glasses get clean at the same time that your body gets clean! (Actually, recently I have begun sleeping with my glasses on! Then, I don't have to grope for them in the morning or if I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.) Have you graduated from college yet, or do you have another year? I note that your Rx is up to -15. What is your add for your reading lenses now?
tinyeyes 10 Jul 2008, 20:52
Judging from this website, it seems that straight men are MUCH more numerous and active as far as being OOs (Optic Obsessives). I know gay men are a minority, but from the activity here I still have a hunch that the percentage of gay men who have a glasses fetish is quite a bit lower than the percentage of straight men who do, even within their own groups. I could certainly be wrong, though!
Brian-16 10 Jul 2008, 20:04
guest555 - I know other gay guys are interested in high rx glasses and I have also noticed guys want to know about my -15's I wear when I am out and about...
guest555 10 Jul 2008, 16:03
As for guys into glasses, I'd say most str8 guys are more willing to be seen in glasses or wear them full-time (even if they wear coke-bottles, let's say at the -9 & up range) than the regular gay guy... since they don't care about such vain details as much as we gay guys do, and on the other hand, gay guys would rather stay home all weekend long if they are having an eye infection and cannot wear their contact lenses to the club in a saturday night (heaven forbids, a guy wearing coke-bottle glasses at vanity and beauty sanctuary??!!) I think he would get funny looks and even being a hot looking guy, he would be considered nothing but a geeky nerdy guy in glasses.... such a shame, since most of the time glasses make a very strong personality and fashion statement... anyway... the day I find a guy in such kind of glasses at a club, I wont take my eyes off him and I'll make sure I'll let him know he looks good in those spectacles...

Nah, it's not just the gay guys...straight dudes have issues with specs as well.
I wore my glasses in front of a man I fancy for the first time last week and you should have seen the way his eyes lit up. There was no mention of them, but I could tell he was turned on.
When you don't say anything, but the lenses are there (and pretty substantial) the fascination is intense. Especially when you wear contacts full time and I think that RGP's are pretty noticable....
Love it. Love it. Love it.

Glad to have initiated this discussion. I also agree with Rob, but do not understand the reasons as my original interest was with girls in glasses. Any thoughts?
James 10 Jul 2008, 06:06
I agree with Royboy to an extent.
But I think it is also more about the vulnerability of glasses. It is what the glasses mean.
It could, in this sense, be viewed as a more idiosyncratic variant on the bondage fetish...e.g. you want to chain someone up (or be chained up yourself - GOC anyone?) because of the helplessness / vulnerability it involves.
Brian-16 10 Jul 2008, 04:35
royboy-I agree with your theory.
royboy 09 Jul 2008, 16:58
i agree with Presbyope --- i think gay boys/men r very much into guys with glasses --- because of the sexual repression that occurs in younger [gay] boys when they r grapple with their sexual identity --- they tend to fixate [and develop fetishes] on very personal items/clothing belonging to someone of the same sex.
--- that is my observation [or at least my consolation] after having been confused for may years with what i thought were 'weird' fetishes.
does anyone one else identify with that theory too?
guest 09 Jul 2008, 07:55
The gay guys here are a rare minority. I think gay guys, in general, are less into glasses. It's probably due to vanity or self esteem. I believe that if you walked into two bars (one gay, one straight) with the same number of guys in each, that each would have about the same number of guys that need (or once needed) correction. The straight bar would have more guys in glasses, some in contacts, and a few who had lasik. The gay bar will have many CL wearers, several who have had lasik, and rare few with glasses. That's my two cents on the subject.
Presbyope Lover 09 Jul 2008, 02:42
Quick question to the group.....do you think gay guys are more into glasses? Seems like there are quite a few of us in here.....and if so ...why?

So I was in the locker room at the gym tonight, and I saw this guy with glasses. He wasn't looking at me so it was hard to tell, but the glasses looked like they had a significant RX. For a second I thought he looked like this guy I went out on a coffee date with a couple of months ago, but I decided it wasn't. Then he looked up at me and said hi -- turned out it was him! He had told me when me met before that he wore contacts, but I hadn't seen him in glasses before. His RX looked to be maybe -5 at the most, but it defintely made me much more attracted to him! He's white, tall and lanky, and kind of sexy-nerdy even without the glasses, so of course with the -5s I was ready to jump him! He mentioned that he just got off a plane a few hours earlier, so maybe that's why he wasn't wearing his contacts. Normally, -5 isn't that exciting to me (I've got a terrible fetish for high myopia), but there is something about this guy. I don't know how compatible we are otherwise, but I had to call him and leave him a message after I left the gym.
As long as I'm posting, I'll mention that I saw an Asian guy at the same gym with what looked like about a -13 or -14 RX -- amazing! But I didn't find him attractive at all, and he seemed straight anyway.
royboy 07 Jul 2008, 19:13
-10, thanx for the john lennon exhibit link --- very touching. ive never seen a review like this referring so prominently to an individuals glasses. JL's glasses at the time seemed so much just a part of him and were noticed subconsciously --- so much so that an extreme OO like myself never fixated on his glasses!
VFL 07 Jul 2008, 15:32
One other thing. I love seeing a guy who wears glasses full time in his sunnies for the first time.
I once had a guy I worked with walk with me from his office to lunch. It was 5 maybe 6 blocks away and when we got there he realized he'd left his clear specs on his desk. He didn't say anything at first, just paused for a moment as though he were thinking, then took the glasses off for just a moment. He looked around and blinked a few times as though to clear the fog, then just put them back on.
The sheepish way he asked if I minded if he left the sunnies on was so endearing I could have kissed him.
Of course he was a potential employer so that wouldn't have been the thing to do. It didn't stop me from wanting to, though.
Fritz 07 Jul 2008, 09:50
VFL: Yesterday I was having lunch at a pizza parlor and watched a very good-looking guy wear his prescription sunglasses throughout lunch. Out of solidarity, I presume, his less attractive pal sat with his non-presciprion sunglasses on throughout their lunch. At one point, when the non-presciption friend was watching the overhead tv, the cute one lifted his glasses for several seconds to look at the counter but quickly let them drop back on his nose. My estimate was that they were at least a -4/5 thus making them necessary for even seeing things clearly up close.
VFL 07 Jul 2008, 08:38
Over the holiday weekend I was thinking about how cute it is to watch the boys make the switch from their clear glasses to sunglasses. One in particular was sitting on the deck and leaned so far over his lap to do the old switcharooni he must be practically blind without them. Plus he did it so quickly I nearly laughed. What a self conscious move on his part. He laid the case on the umbrella table next to his drink. I kept stealing glances at that case so often you would have thought it was Pandora's box. He didn't even lift his head until the switch was made. Gotta see this boy bareeyed. Just gotta.

Good comments, all. I just have to laugh at online guys like that and move on. I may try to be a little less aggressive about glasses and Rx questions, though. It seems to scare some guys off. I do find that people are often ruder online -- sort of the way people are ruder when driving a car -- because they can get away with it.
DNBursky 03 Jul 2008, 08:24

I find that online some guys are more willing to be seen in glasses, others say it's an odd request, in which I respond, I've heard odder things online.

guest 02 Jul 2008, 11:42
In my experiences I have found that gay guys are open to talking about their glasses when I initiate the conversation with a compliment about the style of their glasses. From there the subject of prescription will come naturally. I have also noticed that more gay guys know their prescription. Probably from also having contacts which list it on the package.
guest555 02 Jul 2008, 09:12
Tinyeyes: as for this guy, I do actually think he might be a "band-member" as he had a very warm approach the moment he picked up the coin I dropped... str8 guys are not usually that kind.. but who knows, he might be some sort of a good samaritan only... anyway, concerning your question for being too straight-forward asking a guy for a pic of him in glasses, it doesn't seem to be a harmful nor a twisted-minded request, just a "different" one I'd say...nothing to freak about.. as for me, I've never got an answer as rude as the one you got, I guess that guy's kinda resented with life for giving him the chance to see the world through some lenses... and yes, just like Brian, I've found gay guys are more open to talk about glasses and contacts more than other people... I guess it all has something to do with our broader horizons...
Brian-16 02 Jul 2008, 04:42
Tinyeyes- In my experience at college I find gays more than non gays more willing to chat about their glasses and eyesight.Of course I like to strike up a conversation first.This past year (my third) I do notice more students with bi-focals.I guess the strain of so much reading has taken its toll.Who says lined bifocals are out of date?
tinyeyes 01 Jul 2008, 23:16
Guest, your encounter was just great! Did you get the idea that the guy might be gay or interested in you? Even if not, it's still fun to talk to him about his glasses, huh?? He sounds just dreamy!
guest555 01 Jul 2008, 15:54
Hey, hello everyone! Dropped-by just to report I got the chance to have a small talk with the clear glasses guy, as we both were in line for our usual morning coffee!! I hadn't seen he was in line right in front of me (very long waiting line actually, everone's waiting fort something to wake-up) till I dropped a coin (I wonder, was it just mere unconcious accident?) and he leaned down to pick it up same time as me. We both smiled at each other, I said "thank you", he smiled back once more and then, right then and there, I gathered all my nerve and said "I've seen you here before..." He turned out to be very nice and friendly, a little geeky tho, but very nice. He realised I was wearing my glasses as well and suddenly we were talking about eyesight issues. He said his contacts are kinda uncomfortable lately and he's back in glasses for a while, besides, he says he's OK with wearing them, as it gives him a chance to rest his eyes. I asked about his RX and said it was about -12 , that his lenses were the thinnest his optician could get and they were fine... I mentioned I like glasses quite a bit, and he was kinda surprised to hear me say that... as Tinyeyes mentioned, he could've been bothered by this straight-forward comment and say bye-bye immediatly, but he just kept talking till we both got our orders. Hesaid goodbye by saying "Hope to see you later dude" and left... what a sighting! don't you think??

He's one of my favorites...He has huge eyes and sometimes wears fake plano glasses that accentuate his huge eyes.. but in reality he's super myopic and perfectly tiny-eyed in his glasses. I asked him what his RX was before, but never got an answer. It's got to be well into the teens... Imagine him groping for this coke-bottles when he wakes up in the morning....so sexy!

Awesome! Good luck with the clear glasses guy! I have sightings from time to time but I don't usually write about them. Here's an interesting one: I saw a guy at the gym the other day (Asian, late 20s maybe?) who had glasses that looked like they were about -3 in one eye and about -8 and much thicker in the other eye! That's always an unusual thing to see. It must be odd to have vision like that where one eye is so much better than the other.
guest555 19 Jun 2008, 10:20
hey y'all! I saw the cutie guy in the clear glasses again! Just as I thought, he's a regular at the Starbucks I usually attend! This time I saw him in a rush, as I was about to leave and he was arriving (in a casual attire, light baby blue shirt, khaki pants and some nice shoes, no blazer) and wearing the "spec"tacular clear glasses! I nooded at him as I was leaving hoping for him to remember our last saturday eye-encounter, to which he just smiled back slightly in a very friendly way... I hope I can run into him this coming weekend so I might gather the nerve to talk to him... now I just can't get enough of him!!

It's been a while, and there seems to be just a little action arounf here... hasn't any of you guys had a sighting to report, or an experience to tell lately? I wanted to share a sighting I had last weekend, when I was at Starbucks getting some brown sugar for my order, I saw this guy entering and even though he was nice-looking (5' 7" aprox, slim, fair skin, brown hair, wearing blue jeans, white t-shirt and a blueish leather jacket, very stilysh), it was his glasses the thing that got my attention (I mean, c'mon, isn't it always the same??)... clear (and I mean cristal clear) plastic frames with thick (frame-width, actually)arms with some white decorations and a tiny silver-brand logo (I think they were Armani o something like that) holding very thick minus lenses I'd put in the -10 or something range, lots of power rings, quite a cut-in, very clear polished lenses, which I was able to see properly only when looking at his face, the extremely thick clear arms were quite a move to conceal his high myopia, giving the "My lenses are thick but you can't tell 'cause they look like one-single-clear-piece" look... He got in line and was looking at the menu-board when suddenly realised I was looking at him (that sugar was taking long to get!), gave me a slight smile (I blushed) and continued to place his order. I went back to my seat and continued watching... 4 minutes later he got his order, by the name "Freddy" and left just like that... I want to think he's a regular to this Starbucks, so I maybe get to run into him!!

Sorry to break the news, but in that guy's video, he explains that he had cataracts when younger (hence the super high plus lenses) and would be getting implants later this year. Guess they didn't want to do the implants till he reached a certain age?

If you go to his profile from the video of him and if you assume the profile is a also the same person in the video (he does talk about "My" lenses, then the cute guy is 28. But I don' believe that--the guy looks to be a teenager.

about the video posted on the chinese guy... I don't understand a word, and wosrt of all, even though the video lasts over 25min we never get a chance to see any glasses on the guy!! all we see at the end is him getting an intraocular lens and it seems it works fine since we see him smiling at theend... on the other hand, I can't hardly believe this guy's rx was -42!! I mean, I've met people in the -25 and beleive, that level of myopia is equal to being blind without really being vblind... -42 sounds more like being blind with just some light reaching the eye... I don't think he was able to see anything... say, what's the highest amount of myopia you guys have seen so far (in a guy or gal, whatever)??? in my case, I met an old friend of gramps' bearing -27 in eye while -23 in the other. He wore myodiscs lenses and when we meet, he saw my glasses and mentioned he had sorta my level of myopia when he was a boy. His eyes were extremely tiny and you could only see them looking closely and straight in his lenses.. If he had been younger, I would've gone for him, for sure!! I love guys in thick glasses like mine!!!

guest555 23 May 2008, 10:15
Concerning the guy in those videos, I do think he's got very limited and low vision even with his thick glasses. His eyes seem to be very weak (they actually look like a blind's person eyes)being unfocused, and squint-like. He seems very concerned about blind and low vision people, so I guess he's quite related to such conditions. Those glasses seem to be above -15, not yet to the -20 in wich his eyedoc would've suggested biconcave or lenticular eyeglasses. IMO, this guy's concerned about the blind in the same way we all high myopes know what's like not being able to see properly, we all feel like part of a "brotherhood" and understand how people conceive our condition. In my case, every time I meet a high myope like me the subject rises up and suddenly we're talking about things we only understand, like poor night vision, contact lenses, lenses' thickness, etc etc...
23 May 2008, 07:31
Wow. What do you think his Rx is? I noticed he is concerned about the blind. Does he have low vision with glasses?

guest555 22 May 2008, 13:00
Tinyeyes, the stories I read are posted from the beginning of this topic, they all date from 2002-03 to date, and are mixed along with you multiple (and quite interesting) sightings over the years. They are all are quite pleasant!! Cheers!!
Julian 22 May 2008, 11:50
Tinyeyes: there are three stories of yours on Bobby's site: Hidden Assets, James & Travis and Model Behaviour. Those aren't the ones are they?
Love and kisses, Jules.
tinyeyes 21 May 2008, 14:08
I can't seem to find a record of the stories I'm thinking of here... or on my computer. I will look around at home later.
Eustace, I would be interested in hearing more about your friend's reaction back then.... was he happy to indulge your fetish, or did he think it was weird (or both?) Was he embarrassed about his strong RX? More details would be great. For instance, did he put on his glasses to see the bedside clock, or just lean very close to see it? Did he continue to wear contacts full-time throughout the relationship? Hopefully he indulged you at night or at home by wearing his specs (and giving his eyes a rest.)

As Tinyeyes and Cactus have already said, RGP stands for Rigid Gas Permeable contact lenses, so, I guess the point's made clear... As for your experience, it sounds truly amazing how luck works sometimes, being a high-myopic guys' admirer ending up in a relationship with a very high-myopic boy right next to you without even knowing!! I'd like to know how he reacted furthermore, was he supportive towards you "special taste"? did he wear his coke-bottles lenses instead of his CL's just to please you? In my case, recently I got into this relationship with a very myopic guy (around -16) but it ended very fast since we were just wrong right from the start, all the attraction for me towards him were his glasses, and he claimed he wanted an "open" relationship, term which I just don't like at all. (I'm not a side dish, I'm a main course!! ) anyway, things like these, in which people get together just for some particular shared interest or fact, leads to unsuccessful hook-ups most of the time... so sad!! I think it's something really common, specially for us with this taste, (and so many others as well). Tinyeyes, browsing through old post I found some of your experiences and let me tell you, maybe not as as often as you, but I've been there, done that, meeting guys in thick glasses who are ashamed of them, wearing contacts 99.9% of the time (myself being a 95%, but that's another story), guys getting LASIK just because they think glasses don't fit the "regular gay guy" image (rubbish!)

Tinyeyes: Yes,do post your stories again. I think I must have missed them.
tinyeyes 20 May 2008, 15:02
Eustace, RGP means Rigid Gas Permeable... that's the newer form of hard contacts, basically. Guest 555 mentioned that he thought the guy in the last photo link had a lot of cylinder in his RX-- I think that usually requires the hard lenses because crisp vision isn't always possible with soft lenses for someone like that. (I'm in the -9/-9.5 range in glasses with a lot of astigmatism, and I require RGP lenses myself.)
As for your story about your first boyfriend, what a delicious experience that first "reveal" must have been! I love it! I have a couple of similar (true) stories that I posted to this forum a long time ago. Should I post again?
Highly myopic guys wearing contacts is my ultimate turn-on. I find it more exciting than someone wearing glasses full-time, even if a very strong RX. I think it's because I'm similar, and also because I love the "secret" being "revealed"....
Cactus Jack 20 May 2008, 15:00
Eustace,
RGP = Rigid Gas Permeable. That means that they are hard contact lenses that let oxygen thru to get to the cornea. The cornea has no blood supply and therefore its oxygen has to come from the air. Early hard contacts were not gas permeable, which contributed to their discomfort and limited wearing time. The oxygen for the cornea had to come from the tear film that managed to get under the lens.
C.
Eustace 20 May 2008, 14:36
Thanks, guys, for all the wonderful high minuts photos and videos. Guest555: What does RGP mean? No one commented on my You Tube postings! Can sometime tell me an easy way to cut and paste URL's onto an Eyescene post? Your stories reminded me of my first long-time(9 years)lover. When we first met, I had no idea he was very myopic but wore contacts. On our first sleep-over date, somehow I was bold enough to mention that I was attracted to guys who wear very thick glasses. He ask me to hold on a minute, and he went back to the bedroom where he had left his overnight bag and came back to the living room wearing wonderfully thick glasses in heavy metal frames. They must have been at least a -9 (and I think this was before high-index). I was in heaven!
Eustace
tinyeyes 20 May 2008, 10:16
Actually, the guy kinda broke up with me, and then moved away later.... we still talk sometimes though. He was a game-player and not the best person to be around, in reality... but definitely sexy and spexy! That is how it so often turns out..
guest555 20 May 2008, 07:27
Tinyeyes! so sad to learn your myopic friend is now so far away from you!! I bet he was a nice guy and spexy on top of it! So sad when 2 people meet, seem to get along very well and then PAF! suddenly, everything goes to c**p for some reason... Answering your question, Yeah, my glasses were kinda thick, since -9 is my CL's Rx, and as for glasses I think is somewhere in the -10.... in a rather big (51mm wide) plastic frame and I guess the mignifying effect was quite significant... As for the guy wearing spex in the pic... I'd estimate a -16 or more... and it seeme to me there's a lot of cyl going there... maybe this guy's a RGP lenses wearer giving his warped and weary corneas a little rest while reading....

I had a similar experience a few weeks ago . I was visiting a friend when his roommate who normally a somewhat attractive girl that I thought had 20/20 disappeared in her room for about half an hour, when she emerged my heart jumped a beat when she walked past us and I could clearly see glasses! (as well as a tshirt that did nothing to hide her assets :D). I followed her out to the kitchen and found that she was at least a moderate myope but the frames were dated plastic librarian types that made her look a lot older than she was :(
The few times we've chatted, she wants me to change my hair but I wouldn't mind changing her glasses :)
tinyeyes 19 May 2008, 21:42
Well, I guess that's one thing hetero guys and gay guys can agree on, at least when it comes to the glasses fetish!
hetero guy 19 May 2008, 15:55
For straight guys, nothing turns on as much either as suddenly discovering that a girl we're dating is a high minus girl. I dated a lovely girl 6 times, thinking she was 20/20. On the 7th date she opens the door and there she is in high minus glasses with flat fronts. My heart melted. That was the first night we slept together, She apologized for wearing her "ugly" glasses, because she had scratched her cornea. Here's to scratched corneas!
tinyeyes 19 May 2008, 15:16
Wow, an experience like that would be a dream date for me, and a huge turn-on! NOTHING turns me on more than discovering that a guy with no glasses is actually very nearsighted. These days, I wonder if most people can really detect how strong your lenses are though, with high-index lenses and all. Were your lenses particularly thick?
A couple of years ago I went on a few dates with a guy who I had no idea wore glasses, although I got a clue when he wasn't able to read a sign we were looking at in the distance once. I thought maybe he was slightly nearsighted. A couple of dates later, I went to his house to pick him up to go to a movie, and he opened the door wearing what must have been -8D glasses! You can imagine my surprise (and arousal)! Apparently his contact RX was in need of a bump! I still remember the door opening, and seeing his handsome face framed in rectangular black frames with telltale cut-in, power rings, and small eyes. When I complimented his glasses, he said the weather was so hot and dry (it was summer) that he just couldn't bear wearing his lenses any more that day, so he switched to glasses. On another date, he came to my house (wearing contacts) but brought his contact stuff and glasses with him so he could change in case he spent the night (which he did.) I LOVE the intimacy of being "in" on the contacts "secret" -- especially with a high myope! Unfortunately, my myopic friend lives halfway across the country now.

guest555 19 May 2008, 09:58
Regarding the article Tinieyes mentioned, has any of you guys who are myopic ever been set up for a date and been through the "my-contacts-hurt-like-hell" situation just to see your date's reaction towards the moment when high myopia's revealed to the counterpart??? I mean, I've been there, I'm a -9, and there was this guy I went out with for 2 previous dates, and on the 3rd I wanted to know what he would think about me being highly nearsighted. We went to this bistro place and kept rubbing my eye every now then, and he started to ask if I was OK. I said "yes, just a little dust got into my eye". Just after the waiter took our orders, I excused myself to the john saying my eye was itching, took my eyeglasses case (conveniently packed in my pocket) and went in... and then, I came back bespectacled... he just kept staring at me , I said "sorry about the glasses, but those damn things were killing me" and then he asked... are those your real glasses?? he was kinda surprised, mentioned he hand't thought that my eyes were so "damaged" (as he expressed)... I just said, "that's the way it goes for me". Dinner went through OK with no further comments on my eyesight (wich was kinda a turn-off, since I would've answered any question) and well, even though our relationship never developed to something more due to some other differences, I think he barely surpassed my little test... what do you guys think? ever had any experience like mine?
tinyeyes 18 May 2008, 20:35
Cool video...I love it when he has to hold the paper so close without his glasses! I don't think he's -10 though---probably more like -6 or -7. I wonder if that's the actor's real prescription?
On another subject, I have a copy of the gay magazine "Instinct" for April 2008 (sorry for the late notice), and they have an item about 2 guys going on a blind date. One of the guys has glasses that look to be around -7 or so. I would have been pleasantly surprised if he were my blind date!

Good question. Has your boyfriend brought it up?
Jennifer 07 May 2008, 14:36
VFL, I agree with you. Too, too bad. He's not my type either. I just don't like his attitude towards wearing glasses. He makes it sound so horrible. I wonder if he would change his mind with all the possible side effects. I believe he won't change his mind. He wants the glasses gone. What would happen if a significant other pleaded with him to keep them? Would he???
guest555 07 May 2008, 13:58
I guess we should warn them about the risks and/or side-effects of having LASIK, such as poor night vision, light glare and halos, dry eyes, rugged corneal flaps causing permanent blurry vision, etc etc... what do you say? isn't that enough? if I wwas being told all that I'd think twice b4 going 4 it

I agree with you Patrick B. I did enjoy all the referances to his bad eyesight and the struggles he had to overcome. To me, this movie was an OO's dream! I had so much fun watching it. I already ordered a DVD copy from PBS! It's been a long time since I've seen a film with so many references to eyesight. It made me wonder if the screenplay was written by an OO??? I would have written just the same! Love men in glasses!!!

Too bad that Daniel Radcliffe and David Haig didn't wear real glasses in last night's showing of My Boy Jack.
Jarred 08 Apr 2008, 14:48
I recon the reason there seems less minification of Matts eyes than the cut in would suggest is because there is some prism in there too. There is definately something going on in the esotropia/exotropia front. I have about 11D base out of prism and have a little bit of cut in with a -2D CYL +2D SPH correction for astigmatism. Great picture though! Its a shame there isn't a side shot, if there is prism involved in what is already a high minus prescription I would imagine those lenses are pretty thick.
alan 08 Apr 2008, 00:58
Matt Boyle is certainly for real - I think, with smaller frames and thinner lenses, high myopes wear specs closer to their eyes than they used to; hence slightly bigger eyes but still amazing cut-in.
tinyeyes 07 Apr 2008, 22:20
The Matt Boyle picture could be faked, but I think it's real. The photographer doesn't seem to have anything else like it in his photos, or any reason to fake high myopia for a photo shoot.

Shouldn't his eyes appear smaller given the substantial cut-in ?
guest555 07 Apr 2008, 07:04
Those lenses are definitely over -15. or he's not using a very high-index lens material. This handsome guy seems to bare another condition in his eyes, since they look as if he couldn't focus very well. Take a look and you'll see some difference between both eyes.Is it that all high myopic people have some other condition attached to their nearsightness? like retinal detachment, keratoconus, lazy eye, etc etc ??
Bottom line: this guy's really hot!! A dream come treu for an OO!!
Myopic Grant 05 Apr 2008, 19:40

I don't think that with such prescription he shows off in that pic he was actually able to drive. I mean, my BF is just -2.50 and he doesn't dare to drive without his glasses during daylight, not even squinting!! as for me, being -8 it's something I wouldn't even consider for a minute without my contacts or my glasses on. Anyway, I guess there many guys driving bare-eyed since there are SOOO many car accidentes these days everywhere...

I like the nearsighted Lorenzo too. Too bad he got lasik. He recently turned 50 and still looks pretty hot but would look even hotter in his thick glasses which would probably have an add by now.

James,
The Actors thread has a link to several other shots from that series. Take a look at some of the other angles and the effect doesn't seem all that different from the pair he's wearing in the movie clips. I'd wager it was his real Rx at the time. The newer ones might be slightly stronger but more likely, you noticed an effect of that particular shot's angle.
tinyeyes 20 Mar 2008, 21:02
Love the new shot of Wentworth. Are those glasses rimless? What a hottie!
Alan 20 Mar 2008, 11:17
I'd say it was obvious his Rx has increased - no one would bother to wear minus CLs under a minus Rx.
Fritz 20 Mar 2008, 11:15
I'd say it's -6/-7 and clearly his real prescription which, cosmetically, is far too strong for his film work where it would show too much cut-in and too many power rings (not for us, of course!). If his character requires glasses, he is probably filmed in a weaker pair or perhaps a combination of a weaker pair on top of contacts. I really hate fake glasses and find it so annoying when you know a star is wearing contact lenses underneath the plano lenses. Alfred Hitchcock also insisted on the real thing.
James 20 Mar 2008, 08:55
Now I am getting confused. Wentworth's Rx looks significantly stronger here ( http://img181.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=63674_afton11oo3_122_186lo.jpg ) than it did in that movie, which points to a number of possibilities:
1. that was not his real Rx;
2. being in his twenties, his Rx is still increasing; or
3. he is just standing at a more "OO-delicious" angle in this shot
Can somebody estimate the prescription based on this photo?

He had cute oval wirerim bifocal glasses that really suited his face. The distance Rx appeared to be low plus and the reading portion significantly stronger.
13 Mar 2008, 08:24
However myopia comes about, Matt certainly has a hefty dose of it. Being just 21, it's sure to increase. All I have seen so far are the few snapshots and video preview. I was hoping that someone would have uploaded to You Tube. I can't watch the episodes on my computer because CWTV requires Move Media Player which does not work on old (4 years) Macs. Can anyone here who has ever downloaded torrents recommend a good website. Did the subject of Matt's glasses come up in the first episode?
Julian 12 Mar 2008, 19:05
DOES that follow? Can't myopia start later but still go pretty high? To me the nice thing is that eight out of nine are spexy guys.
Myopic Grant 12 Mar 2008, 17:09
Wow, that Matt guy must have started wearing glasses when he was three to be that myopic at 21. Amazing!

Serious myopia on Matt. I haven't seen Beauty & the Geek but was wondering if the show does makeovers. I hope not because they will probably put him in contacts.

Anyone interested in high-minus guys might want to watch "Beauty and the Geek" this season. One of the guys, Matt, wears extremely thick minus glasses, probably at least -20. He's not gorgeous or anything, but not incredibly unattractive either.
more lurker ;-) 02 Mar 2008, 12:18
I dunno that you have said, but I would have wished he was about 20 years younger. Also one thing that hits me could it be GOC and a experiment ? Its very selldom seing a sight like that, most high myopes has gotten inplants by now in all civilized west countries
lurker 02 Mar 2008, 08:42
I think his might be a case of "If you can't beat them, join them." With glasses like his he has probably met guys who are turned off by them and those who are turned on. He has probably had more fun with the ones who are turned on and has decided to accept it and be upfront about it. I once knew a guy who had bad eyes, but not as bad as this guy, and would post pictures without glasses on personals sites. When guys met him in person they were disappointed because they were not expecting the thick glasses. This guy is doing it right by basically saying 'this is who I am. I have to wear these glasses that I am basically blind without and if that turns you on let's get together' I'm with you Fritz, I wish he wasn't so far away.
Fritz 01 Mar 2008, 23:29
tinyeyes and royboy -- the dude is really hot and must be into his glasses since he's so upfront about being blind without them. -20 or thereabouts? Wish he were in California.

Out of town again, met a guy online who told me beforehand he had a -11D RX. (And sent a photo to prove it). You can imagine my excitement. Cute Asian guy who looks part Caucasian but is not. He came to meet me wearing contacts (as I requested). Later at his apartment I watched as he pinched out his soft contacts and practically touched the contact case with his nose as he put them away. Then he put on beautiful rectangular wire-rims with very small lenses. The cut-in and power rings were amazing, and his eyes SO tiny. He was actually very nice about my fetish and found it mildly amusing.
tinyeyes 24 Feb 2008, 16:35

Fritz 19 Feb 2008, 09:50
Looks like Cute Craig of YouTube fame has his own hair -- at least it looked real when he tugged at it in his latest video while wearing his really hot glasses. I think he's balding somewhat in the front and just has his hair combed forward somewhat to hide the receding hairline. He really needs a good stylist.
Cactus Jack 18 Feb 2008, 20:55
tinyeyes,
Torics are only good for astigmatism. So far, there is no way to put prism in contacts. It might theoretically be possible, but they would be almost impossible to wear. Even torics move and rotate some on the eye and prism is even touchier than astigmatism regarding the positioning of the lens.
Reduction in apparent eye size is a very good indicator of Rx, the amount of reduction in size and cut-in are related to the Rx and the vertex distance.
C.
tinyeyes 18 Feb 2008, 20:14
Thanks... I don't think I quite understood that distinction. So, with high amounts of prism, are toric contacts needed? Hmm, at any rate, the other way I gauge high myopia is by the "tinyeyes" effect of image reduction. That is a good indicator, right? That always seems to go hand in hand with cut-in, though... Hmmm...
Cactus Jack 18 Feb 2008, 08:27
tinyeyes,
I didn't mention astigmatism in my comment about BI or BO prism affecting cut-in because astigmatism is not related to prism. Cylinder and axis usually correct for irregularities in the curvature of the cornea and prism usually corrects for muscle or eye position control problems and sometimes for accommodation problems. High cylinder could affect cut-in and the appearance of the lens, but it depends on the amount and the axis.
Toric soft contacts can be used to correct moderately high astigmatism if the contacts will stay in position with the axis aligned properly. There are many factors that can affect axial alignment of torics such as amount of astigmatism, tightness of eyelids, tearing, and skill and experience of the examiner.
C.
tinyeyes 17 Feb 2008, 21:34
Thanks for the tip, Cactus Jack. I knew that there is more to it than cut-in, but it's one of the best indicators I have for strength of prescription. I did date someone a few years ago who seemed very nearsighted, yet there wasn't much cut-in to his glasses. So are you saying such a person would have a lot of astigmatism? Would they be able to wear soft contacts (because he did)?
By the way, Craig looks really awesome in his new video wearing glasses.

Cactus Jack 14 Feb 2008, 18:16
tinyeyes,
You can't always judge an Rx by the amount of cut-in at the outer edge of the lens. Base Out Prism can significantly increase the amout of cut-in at the outer edge and Base In can significantly reduce the cut-in.
C.
tinyeyes 14 Feb 2008, 07:19
Actually, looking again, maybe his RX is even higher. Maybe -13 or -14? The cut-in is amazing! What do you think?
tinyeyes 14 Feb 2008, 07:17
I'm no expert! Funny thing, his profile says he's only 21, but he looks much older. The RX? Hmm, I'd say he's around -12 or so maybe. It's funny the way he takes his glasses off in videos. He must not have contacts.
James 14 Feb 2008, 03:30
Awesome find tinyeyes!
May we have your professional and expert assessment of his Rx?

VFL:
Yes, your fantasy is a real turn-on for me. My fantasy might be embellished (or detailed) a bit: Both guys are naked and do not remove their glasses at night until after turning out all the lights, and both put their glasses on before they get out of bed. Even better if both have very thick lenses--with Rx of -10 or higher. Even better if at least one of them wears bifocals--or even trifocals. And, of course they shower (perhaps together?) with their glasses on, etc., etc. Well, I could go on . . . .
tinyeyes 08 Feb 2008, 19:12
Wish we'd had more of a glimpse, but yeah, I would guess Ben's RX to be around -4 or -5. I like his glasses, but it doesn't hurt that he's extremely good-looking, too. I would love to get a better look at Ronnie's glasses, too!
VFL 08 Feb 2008, 11:08
Oh, I know! I go crazy over just the thought of a man putting his glasses on before even throwing back the covers. It is in that automatic, well-practiced move. Add this to the fantasy... you are his partner lying in bed on your stomach beside him while you both gaze out the Manhattan skyline together, snuggling under the covers to soak up that last bit of warmth before getting up and mock fighting over who gets to make the coffee.
Julian 08 Feb 2008, 06:47
I'm with you there, tinyeyes; and I think Ben is superhot in his glasses. You're our myopia expert, what do YOU think his Rx is? My guess is -4 or 5, but you'll know better than I do.

A glorious summer day in New Zealand enhanced by a glorious sighting. Sitting outside a cafe in the sun four beautiful guys happy with themselves. All wearing glasses, two in sunglasses so did not take much notice of them; but the other two! One wearing the latest (in New Zealand anyway) IC Berlin frame in silver perhaps best described as rectangular with curved corners and almost straight temples. Lens about -3, fair stylish hair, beautifully dressed and a really good looker. The other wore glasses similar to the late James Dean, lower minus about -2, in a light brown colour. Both pairs perfect for the wearers. A great sighting. I had to go in to the cafe to look out the window for another angle, left and went down the road a bit and came back to have another look. Truly glorious!
Julian 27 Jan 2008, 17:18

Wow, Fritz, great sightings.... those guys sound amazing!!
As for Craig, I hope you're right about him. Whether gay or straight, though, I think he's in a relationship because in his other videos he talks about "we" a lot, as in "we" like to throw parties, etc. By the way, if you look at his other videos, he shows his old glasses he got 18 years ago, but he doesn't try them on.
I really like him-- I think he's cute and seems nice and his glasses/RX are awesome. Check back because he says he will post a video wearing his glasses as soon as he gets them back from the optician.
Fritz 26 Jan 2008, 14:02
tinyeyes and royboy -- did either of you listen carefully to the video that guy did when he found out that he had lenses too strong for his prescription?
He mentioned that they referred to him as a "she" so that he wouldn't know they were talking about him and the error the lab had made. Geez, doesn't he know they were being rude and, of course, assuming he was gay. I can't imagine him not being gay and, if he isn't, then he's really got an identity problem.
Good sighting here in SF. A rather cute late thirty-something with a sharp widow's peak and biconcave lenses in an extremely small oval frame. Estimate: -15/-16. Another great sighting in my club's locker room: a stocky guy with clean-cut Irish looks and very trendy (and extremely small) rectangular plastic frames which were a sort of clear red. I'd guess his lenses were at least -14 with a lot of cut-in, numerous power rings and, I think, slightly biconcave. Quite hot.
Julian 24 Jan 2008, 11:35
Matt: I see what you mean, but I think what you think is a bifocal line is the edge of the lens, and the lower line is its shadow on his cheek.
mattp 24 Jan 2008, 07:34
And in #21, it looks like his glasses are bifocals.
sam12744 24 Jan 2008, 02:56
He's also in pictures 21-25, where a little cut-in is visible.

I'm glad you guys liked those videos -- aren't they great? The Brazilian guy's did seem very erotic, with his shirt off and everything. So hot! The other guy seems gay to me, but probably has not idea that people would find his glasses erotic. But I certainly do! I loved his description of wearing his powerful lenses for the first time and how tiny everything looked. Look at his other videos-- in his first one he shows off his 18-year old glasses with a broken earpiece, and in another video he describes about how his new glasses were actually -13s and that's why he was having trouble with them! I hope he does more videos wearing his glasses, next time without his contacts on! LOL he was wearing like -24 diopters of correction with both on!
royboy 20 Jan 2008, 17:06
hi fritz, my old sfo friend --- yes, he did say that his old pair was -7 and the new pair was 10.5
quite a leap!

Fritz 20 Jan 2008, 15:19
Tinyeyes - Great sighting in SF! I live in San Francisco and have always thought that more men will wear strong glasses here than in LA. As I have always maintained, however, most people are oblivious to lens strength unless the lenses aren't hi-index and are noticeably thick (something you don't seem much of anymore.) I'm having dinner tonight with an Asian friend who is 40, tall and quite good-looking. Best of all, he wears glasses that are somewhere between -10 and -11. Too bad he's straight!!
I should be in LA and the Desert over the next several weeks and will have to put my theory to the test. Oh, thanks for the video links. Those two guys are awesome, although it was too bad that the Latino (?) didn't speak. I think his new glasses were stronger than the old pair they replaced. Any thoughts?

Just took a short business trip to San Francisco and had a number of good OO sightings. The airport was especially good-- I saw a very good-looking, scruffy guy in his late 20s who was wearing powerful plus lenses when reading, but took them off when he got up and walked around. They looked strong to me, so I was surprised he was able to do fine without them.
Best of all was a smaller-build, fairly cute guy in his 30s with dark features (Jewish or Israeli maybe), who was wearing what must have been -14s or -15s. Amazingly, his glasses weren't very thick (the frames were small). In fact, even though his eyes looked very small and the cut-in was deep, he looked pretty normal and I think most people wouldn't notice how strong his glasses were (except for an OO like me, of course.) He had a great pair of glasses.

I am South African and live in Johannesburg. Don't seem to get those gym sightings as often as you do though - clearly I'm going to the wrong gym!
tinyeyes 03 Jan 2008, 23:40
Yeah, I've enjoyed watching that myself. Where do you live, James?
James 03 Jan 2008, 23:05
tinyeyes,
thanks for that, you're definitely right. also have a contacts fetish, and nothing is better than watching someone blind putting in / taking out lenses at the gym
tinyeyes 03 Jan 2008, 21:32
Forgot to mention, I assume he's wearing RGP hard lenses because I can see the edges of them inside the colored part of his eye. Hard lenses are usually much smaller than soft lenses, which would extend into the white of the eye. David's are actually pretty big for hard lenses, which surprises me considering the high power of his prescription. Contacts are just like glasses in that the larger they are, the thicker they are (with a minus RX). If I'm wrong, please correct me.
tinyeyes 03 Jan 2008, 21:28
James, I have a "contact fetish" myself -- particularly for hard lenses.
Look at the largest photo size and you can see his lenses:

tinyeyes - couls you a post a link to the photo where you say you can see he is wearing RGP's (and maybe how you could tell)?
I find that sort of thing (visible contacts) quite a turnon
tinyeyes 02 Jan 2008, 20:55
Wow, I wasn't sure David's RX was quite -12, but there it is from the guy himself. Awesome!
James, I think you're right about RGP lenses. I think most people who wear them tend to stick with them and not switch back and forth with glasses as much. But I guess this guy is an exception. He seems very un-self-conscious about his glasses, which is so cool!
Myopic Grant 02 Jan 2008, 07:38
I wonder how old this David guy is and how old he was when he started wearing glasses. It would be interesting to see old pictures of him wearing different glasses over the years and how they gradually got stonger.
mattp 02 Jan 2008, 06:49
James--
I've been browsing David Lee King's flickr photos. He seems like quite a cool guy. I love his glasses--strong lenses in a small frame like his result in really compressed power rings that I find a real turn on.
DLK needs to shave what hair he has remaining--the half-bald look just makes him look old and nerdy. Full baldness crosses the line into sexy.
James 01 Jan 2008, 23:18
Tinyeyes,
You're right on the money. Just found this photo in his Flickr collection where, in the comments below, he says his Rx is -12.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidking/326293949/
Interesting that you say he wears RGP's - my impression was that people who wore hard lenses wore glasses very seldom (because of the warped corneas etc.) but he seems to wear his a lot, possibly even more than half the time (not saying you're wrong, YOU would know, just that it's interesting).
tinyeyes 01 Jan 2008, 14:16
Thanks James for posting those. I discovered him recently, and I think he's awesome and very nerdy/sexy... just a dream guy as far as I'm concerned. Did you see his videos? There are quite a few where he wears his glasses. http://blip.tv/file/126829/
I think his RX is more like -11 or 12. Definitely double digits. In one of his photos I could tell he was wearing RGP hard contacts, so he probably has a lot of astigmatism along with a very healthy dose of myopia. :-)
Thanks James! 31 Dec 2007, 13:27
His prescription is at least -10 and the small glasses certainly do suit him. Based on his age, I bet he owned a very large pair in his teens or twenties and they probably weren't high index either.
James 31 Dec 2007, 11:40
Happy new year to all on this board!
As a new years present, have posted 69 photos of a myopic (though unfortunately straight) librarian and computer geek to Guys Glasses 13, here
http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/guysglasses13/photos/browse/c85b
He seems to have no special interest in / fetish for glasses, and yet, coincidentally, lots of the photos almost seem taken to titilate an OO.
Anyway, have posted some pics of him in contacts too, both to show the contrast, highlight his AMAZING eyes, but also because he is such a beautiful man I couldn't resist.
From my stash of photos, it seems like he wears glasses more than 50% of the time. Think he is the PERFECT example of glasses fitting and suiting a person's face well - obviously he's wearing the tiny ovals that don't suit 90% of the people who choose to wear them, but somehow seem made for him.
Anyway, this guy does things to me, not sure if you guys agree. In any event, can some of the experts hazard a guess at his Rx?

He's also a good candidate for liposuction. I don't think even the best frames would make him look better.
Patrick B 26 Dec 2007, 15:41
I'd guess that guy's glasses are somewhere in the high teens and probably very old judging from the out-of-date frames. At least I hope the pictured glasses aren't his new ones. If they are, he really got hosed. He's the perfect candidate for lenticular lenses in a more appropriate and modern frame.

[NOTE: This is a repost of a previous message. We are trying to reach the widest possible audience, and we apologize if you see multiple copies of this message.]
Dear readers (man or woman),
We are a group of scientists from Sweden and Italy doing research on sexuality. Many sensitive issues in sexuality are poorly understood, mostly due to lack of research. To partly remedy this, we do research on "fetishism", broadly defined as sexual preferences that are both fairly strong and not very common. No moral judgment is implied: we simply view fetishism as one expression of human sexuality.
We post here to advertise a survey that targets people who are sexually aroused by a partner or potential partner wearing EYEGLASSES/SPECTACLES. To take the survey, click on the link below. It will take at most 20 minutes to complete the survey. We offer a substantial privacy guarantee: no sensitive data will be monitored or stored at our site, only the answers you explicitly provide.
To take the survey click:

HI! Just got my new rx and it's gone up another -.75 and the prism increased too!! Well, I added that in! So, that puts me up to a -11ish now. Love to chat and get to know other high RX buddy's and prism wearers. I am in the Baltimore area (east coast). I am a bi/gay masculine guy and I am starting to see alot more guys with a significant rx difference between the left and right! And I must say it's got my attention even more! I like it. Guess I am freaky, but hope to chat more and contribute more. That guy with the -23's is pretty good lookin too! Hope to meet someone that I can share my glasses collection with! Say hi! I am bigfordtruck01@yahoo.com

James 17 Dec 2007, 01:19
Tinyeyes,
As a born cynic, I am also always skeptical as to whether the prescriptions are real.
Like it in particular when you see the person's progression with different scripts over a period of time -this definitely ups the "real" factor, so long as the progression is realistic (good example of UNrealistic: George, whose Rx was -8 two years ago, and is supposedly -13 today....hmmmm....)
tinyeyes 16 Dec 2007, 14:12
Thanks for posting.. I had seen some of the photos before, but many of them I had never seen. Amazing! With these super-strong RXs, though, I'm never sure if it's real or GOC. Either way it's interesting to see, but for me, it's always for fascinating if the RX is real.

The actor who plays the optician/optometrist in the Pearle vision center commercials is Lawrence Lau. He played Greg Nelson on "All My Children" in the early to mid 80's and a character on "One Life to Live" in the 90's/0's.

Hi all--
If you go to the youtube site to see George in his -10 glasses, be sure to look over in the right hand column at an interview with Jensen Ackles by Teen People magazine. I have no idea who Jensen Ackles is, but I guess he's an actor. Anyway, he's a nice-looking young man wearing some low RX glasses that fit his face quite nicely.

Well, that's a little disappointing, but it's still a cool film. Now, I would like to see what the filmmaker looks like!
DNBursky 13 Nov 2007, 12:47
I found out that the webfilm about the guy who helps a girl from a stalker doesn't really feature the actor's eyeglasses. I found out and the glasses belong to the creator of the film. He wouldn't tell me more.

I had an interesting sighting at a birthday party the other night. Years ago, we were friends with a young couple; the husband/father wore some pretty serious plus glasses (magnified eyes, lenses beyond the frames on the top). The couple got divorced early on, and we lost touch for a few years. At the time, the son was maybe ten years old and did not wear glasses.
The woman remarried, and we became friendly again with her and her new husband; we had not seen the son or father in many a year until the second husband's birthday party the other night. The first husband was there (surprisingly) with his thick plussers, now in bifocals. More interesting was the son's vision--now in his mid-thirties, he was wearing plus glasses close to his father's in strength. Nice looking, he takes after his mother, but those glasses--he got his father's vision! Interesting that he did not wear glasses at ten the last time I saw him--I would think that much hyperopia would have been evident then, although maybe, like most children, he refused to wear his glases.

I was walking into my apartment building where I have lived for 3 years and as I got out of my car, a very handsome young guy got out of a car a few cars down. He looked my way and I saw he was wearing wire rims frames with maybe a -3 or -4 prescription. He had short dark hair and was very well built. We walked into the same entrance then headed to different floors. Hope I run into him again soon and get a better look and get a chance to talk.
dillusionbr 24 Oct 2007, 12:59
I spotted a young guy on the train today: about 20 yo, tall and in good shape, closely cropped blond hair. He sat facing me but I didn't take much notice of him as he wasn't wearing his glasses -- until he was getting up to get off at the next station. He started fishing for his glasses in his backback and produced a rather small, rectangular, blueish-colored plastic frame with the most powerful plus lenses I've seen in years. Generally, I'm more into guys in strong minus glasses, but he definitely made my day. His rx must have been at least +8, maybe even more. A good friend of mine is a +6, and this guy's glasses were definitely stronger, so he had been sitting their in complete blur!
17 Oct 2007, 09:43
I think the smoking dude spend too much time rubbing his obviously tiny pecker.
He's a sick fuck and ugly to boot. Infact he's so ugly he could turn a gay dude straight.
12 Oct 2007, 09:16
Real or fake, I think it's great that he is making and posting these movies on you tube and pictures on flickr. I just wish that he would mix it up and leave the bathroom. Marlover/Baco if you are reading this please continue to show us your glasses. I'd love to see you film yourself waking up, feeling around for your glasses, then lighting up your first cigarette. I'd also love to see any old glasses you have.
11 Oct 2007, 15:03
Looks like someone suggested to the "smoking myope" that squinting might make it look more authentic. He spends too much time peering out from underneath his frames or out the sides. I don't know any other self respecting high myope, including me, who does that. I think James' first posting was spot on.
James 11 Oct 2007, 11:43
I wasn't so much expecting squinting, which I don't think would make any difference at that level of myopia....more just what I can only describe as the "blank" stare of high myopes without glasses. Does anyone else know the "blankness" I mean?
Anyway, I am much more convinced after this latest video with the "ah, now I can see" moment, and in any event, would much rather you guys were right about him being the real thing anyway.

tinyeyes 10 Oct 2007, 00:22
I was a little suspicious too, but I'm convinced for the moment that he's a real high myope. He had kind of a "now I can see" look when he put his glasses on. I love that. Also, I hate smoking too, but somehow, I must admit it's a little erotic. It also gives him something to do while modeling the glasses for us.
Julian 09 Oct 2007, 16:35
I didn't mean to post this comment, but neither of those videos does a thing for me. Apart from the very valid point Russell makes, I find smoking a total turn-off, even when it isn't done with that masturbatory fervour...
09 Oct 2007, 15:16
Agree with MinuX16. He's also way too comfortable with his glasses not to be a high myope.
MinuX16 09 Oct 2007, 11:25
Hello! James, sorry to disagree a little bit, but as a high-rx user I can tell you that when I'm not wearing eyeglasses, and I'm familiar with the location I'm in, I don't squint so often. I just keep my eyes open naturally and even better, since the CL's are not hurting my eyes (they do hurt a little bit, permanently, even if you're a long-time wearer) and I can manage as if I was able to see perfectly. It's quite hard to tell when somebody is wearing RGP CL's, since they're so tiny and do not get out of the iris region, but I can tell this guy knows what he's doing even if not being able to see the camera properly... and well, just a thought
James 09 Oct 2007, 10:16
Now I'm the LAST person who would ever want to ruin the fabulous porn but is there anyone else who thought he looked like he could "see" too much when looking at the camera before putting the glasses on?
Didn't seem to have that high-myopic "blank" stare.
Just a thought though....

Awesome video and clearly glasses porn with some super thick biconcave lenses. Must be at least -13/-14, perhaps a bit more.
tinyeyes 04 Oct 2007, 20:31
OH, and in the excitement of the video, I almost forgot to mention my glasses sighting tonight. At the gym, a tall, muscular, good looking, very nearsighted young asian guy with great looking black framed glasses to match his jet black hair. His glasses were just thick enough to have a coke bottle look, and around -8 maybe. And yes, he was "tiny-eyed". It was fun stealing glances at him, but he seemed perfectly straight. He gave me a surprise bonus before I left though... I was in the bathroom area and he walked to the sink, took his glasses off and washed them under the faucet, washed his face, then stood back and looked at himself bare-eyed in the mirror (what could he possibly see?!) and then after drying the glasses put them on as he walked away. WOW!
tinyeyes 04 Oct 2007, 20:05
Wow, it's glasses porn. Finally, we needed this! Very cool.

I'd say the chubby guy in the pic bears from a -12 to a -14 RX, but these days you never know, since high-index lenses are the rage and everywhere... Mine are a -16 and something else (due to my high cyl correction) and they look like a regular -10... so... anyway... IMO, that spexy guy is definitely NOT a sexy guy.

Any guesses on the RX of the chubby guy? I'm thinking it's at least -13 or -14?
tinyeyes 02 Oct 2007, 23:25
Cute is in the eye of the beholder, but if you like strong minus glasses, this guy definitely has that in his favor!
MinuX16, I have met guys who were accommodating (to a certain extent) about my fetish, but usually they were kind of tolerating it because it wasn't their thing. More often, I was too shy/embarrassed to really admit the fetish to them. There was one guy who I think actually shared the fetish, but the relationship ended for other (very dramatic) reasons and we never got to explore the shared fetish further. He was about a -9, too, and full-time glasses wearer! I hope you find that partner who embraces you, your glasses and your fetish. Me too!

Tinyeyes (gosh, I just can't help falling for you nickname, so cute!!) As you mentioned, meeting guys wearing thick minus glasses as we do is quite difficult and when the chance comes, it turns out either he's not interested or hates the fact he wears glasses, and often complains about the coke-bottles. In my case, it used to think that way, but nowadays it's not only that I wear my glasses when I'm feeling like it (actually, not so often, since I get better vision in CL's) but the fact that it's been sort of a prerrogative for me that I only date guys who wear glasses. I think a guy in glasses would react much better than a non-wearer when they find out I'm blind as a bat and when they see I wear the coke-bottle glasses, although it could turn out wrong... in my case, if the guy turns out to ask me to take off the glasses, it would instantly mean "Hasta la vista, baby" since they're a big part of who I am... anyway... and what about you guys, say, has any of you ever dated a high myopic guy with no issue with the glasses thing? I really wander how is it like actually being able to show off the thick glasses with no hesitation, but arousal or empowerment instead? any thoughts?
Jay 30 Sep 2007, 18:02
Julian and Fritz. My harddisk gave up on me and so I had to wait until I could get a new one and transfer everything - it's been ages since I could get online again. I had another eyetest but he said there was no significant increase (phew!) but gave me and add of +3.00 to help with reading. I get my new glasses soon. The builder I told you about before turned up again and asked me to go to a pub but when I got there he wasn't wearing his glasses but contacts! Damn I thought he looked so ordinary so I told him. When we met again (another pub) he had his black spex on which really made my day. BTW Julian, I don't get my nearsightedness from my father - it comes from my mother and we all inherited it from her. My father has allowed us to choose our new glasses ourselves so I'm going for the black frames in some kind of plastic.
Fritz: I have THREE brothers (2 older 1 younger) and two sisters and we all wear glasses although my two older brothers now have contacts which leaves me and my younger siblings as the "foureyes" in the family. My little brother Fred is very nearsighted at around -14 but proudly wears his spex and doesn't mind the names he's called. I'm happy to be getting new glasses and don't mind the thick lenses now - at least I can see!

MinuX16 27 Sep 2007, 08:37
Tinyeyes (BTW, what a cute nickname) you're so right, having a pair of glasses as a backup is so right, specially for us, the high myopic... for me, they're very useful when I remove the CL's before going to bed, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to make my way to bed! and for so many other tasks as well. My eyesight it's damn bad at -16, so, I think your point's quite clear. Say, what kind of frame do you have? mine are suited in a black plastic CK frame 48 width and thick arms, in order to help me hide the thickness, and the lenses are 1.7 high index with AR coating. Although they cause a weird minifyng effect on my eyes due to the cylinder, I think they don't look that bad on me, they're still kinda fashionable, the only thing it's they're quite thick... I used to care a lot about that, but since's that the way things are, well, nowaways all I care it's that I can see and I like other guys in glasses. I think I'd like to have a BF that wears and likes glasses just like me, it think it would be so cool!! unfortunately, there seem to be only a small group of guys that like guys in thick glasses, and well, they tend to keep it a "secret" ...
tinyeyes 25 Sep 2007, 20:42
I've been wearing hard or RGP contacts for many years, and I wear them for at least 12-14 hours per day as well. Sometimes I give my eyes a break from them and wear my glasses -- especially if I'm doing something that stresses my eyes, like taking a long flight. I have glasses of course, although in my teens and early twenties I actually went through a period where I didn't have any glasses with my correct RX -- only contacts. That wasn't the best. When you're highly myopic, it's nice to have glasses as a backup even if you only wear them at bedtime. I also see much better with contacts than glasses, and that's one of the reasons I don't wear my glasses very much.
MinuX16 25 Sep 2007, 13:06
hi Tinyeyes! well, the reason I just couldn't wear my RGP's last weekend is still a little unknown for me, I just couldn't keep one of the lenses in, it kept popping-out my eye with no reason, although I kept cleaning it often... so I couln't bare wearing just one (it's damn uncomfortable as you might know, being able to see crispy-clearly in one eye and almost blind in the another) so I decided to go for my glasses. Ams as far as I'm concerned to other people, I got all those stares due to the weird minifying effect the lenses have on my eyes, although I still think there might've been some other great guy just like you that was looking at me in other way.... anyway, say, have you ever had an experience like mine? how long do you wear your lenses per day? I do wear mine for about 12-14 hours per day, and I almost have no problems with them... and well, honestly, I do have a pair of glasses "just in case" and because I like wearing thick glasses just as I like seeing guys in them as well.
tinyeyes 25 Sep 2007, 07:33
MinuX16, I would have been staring at you in your coke-bottles, too -- for different reasons than the people you saw, perhaps! I wear RGPs, too -- how come you weren't able to wear them that day?
MinuX16 24 Sep 2007, 07:55
Hello everyone!! Yes, as you've said, taking a little break to go to the WC and refresh a pair of dried RGP CL's is a cool chance to try some other eyeglasses, actually, it's kinda fun, you know? the thrill, the rush, the mix of a little guilt with excitement... wow! BTW, I was going to tell, just this past saturday I've a "bad CL day" and had to spend the whole day wearing my glasses.... at first I was up to nothing since my vision doesn't reach a 100% in them, but later on I felt bored and went to the local mall for some shopping. I got quite a few stares regarding directly to my coke-bottled eyes, and honestly, I got a little aroused, since most people migth have thought that I wasn't able to see them properly (at a point it was true, the darker it gets, the blinder I go) but in the meantime I liked the idea of attracting that attention.... nice thing to do for a change... I might be doing it more often!!!
Fritz 17 Sep 2007, 17:26
At least you two have an excuse to go to the john: rewetting your own contact lenses and spending that extra bit of time doing a search. No harm, really.

MinuX16 17 Sep 2007, 09:10
I fully agree with with Tinyeyes, checking out other people's glasses is a guilty pleasure... but surely a harmaless one! I don't think sneeking in the bathroom just the way he did it it's a bad thing. It just happened and that's all. I remember doing the very same thing at my uncle's during a sleep over his place when I was younger (by that time I didn't know why he and Peter, his BF at that time, would be living together and why they were so close) and when I entered the bathroom, I saw 2 pairs of glasses next to a bottle of CL's cleaning solution. I took one pair and tried them.... they were too weak for me, maybe about a -3, but the others made a significant change, maybe a -8 (considering I was a -7 at 15). I was kinda aroused, and nervous, so I finished my duties and got off. Later on I saw my uncle coming out of the bathroom wearing the thick glasses! then I understood the other pair were Peter's. I liked the way they both looked in glasses (an together actually) So sad they splitted up...
tinyeyes 15 Sep 2007, 08:32
Checking out people's glasses is a guilty pleasure. I don't get the opportunity that often, but I'm sure I'll do it again! You ask how did the glasses look on me? Actually, I was in a hurry for obvious reasons, so I spent more time checking out the vision with them than looking at myself in the mirror. And since I only popped out my right contact when I tried them on, the left eye had about -17 diopters of correction and was very blurry!
There is another friend/date, hunky gay guy who is around a -6 or so, but I've only seen him in glasses a couple of times. He invited me to spend the night and cuddle sometime. In that case I'm sure I'll get to see him in his glasses and try them out (and he'll see mine too.) If it happens I'll report back.
I love hearing these bathroom/hidden glasses stories, so please share more!

Tiny Eyes, I'm jealous. Please visit more people and report your glasses finds. In my opinion no harm was done. Then again, I am guilty of doing the same thing every chance I get. The best pair of glasses I ever found had a big difference between lenses. I'd say -7 and -10. By the way, how did the glasses look on you?
MinuX16 14 Sep 2007, 09:37
Yeah, KC reffers to KeratoConus... I'm the one of those 1 male in 10,000 (according to stadistics) with this contidion... I was detected when I was 18, fortunately, I've been wearing my RGP CL's since I was 15... they do give me 20/15 clear crisp vision... although in glasses I'm corrected only to a 20/60 ... I guess you can't have it all in life... anyway, I like wearing thick glasses and spotting guys in them as well...

I'm terrible,my friend,who's always in her contacts with a pair of glasses hidden away somewhere invited me round for dinner,
So went to the bathroom for a genuine reason and there on the shelf were the most impressive glasses I've ever seen!
Must have been early 90's frames,big round metal with normal cr39's in them,the lenses stuck out about an inch and had the edges cut out so the arms could fold flat,well tried them on,and wow!
Never saw them after that,but she's now a full time gwg sporting a lovely -10 in very nice frames,but every time I see her I think of tose old glasses
MinuX16 14 Sep 2007, 07:29
Hi everyone!! I'd like to introduce myself, I'm a 25 yo GWG and just like most of the guys in here I do wear glasses, due to a KC that puts me in the -16 range. I wear my RGP CL's most of the, and recently I've had done some backup eyeglasses in order to give my eyes a little rest every night... I'm very attracted to guys wearing glasses, and well, I'd like to take the opportunity to exchange thought and experiences with you guys in here.
anyone feel free to contact me...
Phil 14 Sep 2007, 01:24
Yes, we all do it! My wife always asks why I'm so long in the bathroom at home of a friend of hers whom we sometimes visit for lunch! And years ago I only discovered just how myopic the wife of a friend was when I tried on her old brown NHS-style frames which she kept in the bathroom. Lovely power rings! In those days she wore contacts. Now she's a consultant psychiatrist and a fulltime gwg with very high index progressives; and she looks just gorgeous.
Katy 14 Sep 2007, 00:43
tinyeyes - yes! If there are a pair of (minus) glasses left in a bathroom, I have to try them on, I can't help it. I went to stay with a friend a few months ago, whose boyfriend has got some great black plastic frames with lenses that looked quite strong to me. I was dying to know his rx, especially as he had tried my boyfriend's -6s on and said he could see quite well (there was my opportunity to ask, I know!). In the bathroom at their house, I had to have a look, and found the box of contacts: -4! Not sure why they look so strong, maybe the wide frames. I did feel guilty, but pleased he hadn't beaten my bf for minus power :-)
tinyeyes 13 Sep 2007, 23:20
I did something tonight that I really shouldn't do, but couldn't resist.
I went to visit a former co-worker I hadn't seen in a while, and I already knew that his boyfriend (who is very attractive, tall, slim and muscular) is very nearsighted. When I got there, the boyfriend was there, looking good as I remembered, and wearing contacts (I saw him once in his glasses a few years ago and he looked great.) After a few minutes, I excused myself to go to the bathroom. Here's the bad part: I did a little snooping. As I had hoped, his eyeglasses case was on the bathroom counter. Of course, I couldn't resist opening up the case. Inside was a pair of silver frame oval glasses with high-index lenses, which of course, I couldn't resist trying on. They were quite strong, and I popped out one of my own contacts to get a view. I could see pretty well; they seemed almost as strong as my own (I'm -9). Even better, on the shelf were some boxes of AcuVue disposable contacts with the prescription printed on them: -8 in one eye and -8.5 in the other. Nice!
A guilty pleasure, but hopefully no harm done. Has anyone else every done this sort of thing?
sam12744 12 Sep 2007, 03:47
Nice little sighting yesterday in Boots the Chemists.Tall lad of about 19,not specially good looking with a mop of dark brown hair.Wearing some strong minus glasses.Current fashion of rectangular black plastic,with wide black arms,which branched into two white metal sections for the last 3/4 inch to the hinges.The lenses were clearly very high index material and yet still quite thick,with much minification and serious cut-in.I would estimate a minus script in the mid-teens.The frames suited him well and,given the strength and thickness of the lenses,were a sensible choice.

So, Jay, how old are you if your father dictates what kind of frames you can have? Presumably you've inherited your myopia from him if he thinks about lens thickness? (Mind you, when I was 18 my mother insisted on basic NHS plastic, but that was because she was paying.)
Fritz 04 Sep 2007, 22:03
Jay:
"We"? Do you have a twin or kid brother? My advice to you is to get the hottest frames and the highest indext lens material. Even if they're somewhat thick, so what. Make a statement and don't worry if your lenses look strong. After all, they are and clearly that hunk wasn't too bothered by his obviously strong specs to try and minimize their strength through subterfuge. Let us know how your next eye exam goes.
Jay 04 Sep 2007, 16:40
Don't mind the questions Julian. They are some kind of plastic as far as I could tell from just having a quick look and feel. Although the lenses were very strong the whole frame didn't feel too heavy on my face. I wanted to get spex like these but my father insisted that we have these small metal frames because they would keep down the thickness of the lenses. Just recently he has relented and let us choose our own so I'm having new glasses soon and hope that Ican get something like these sexy Asians have!
Julian 04 Sep 2007, 09:13
Jay: sorry, another question! You say your delicious hunk's glasses were 'big, round and black' - what were they (the frames I mean) made of? And, while we're on the subject, what kind of frames do you wear yourself?
Jay 04 Sep 2007, 06:46

Thanks. Yes, I am nearighted and wear strong lenses of -9 so it was fairly obvious to him that I was "blind as a bat."

Julian 02 Sep 2007, 05:18
Jay, if you said you're blind I didn't notice. I only asked because he was hardly going to start comparing notes with somebody who didn't have a substantial show of power rings - as I guess with your Rx you must. I mean, I wear glasses, but I'm not in your league (low plus).

Fritz and Julian
Thanks for the feedback. It was a real turn on for me to talk with him about out mutual bad eyesight problems but I'm nowhere like as nearsighted. He was around -14 (and his glasses were way too strong for me to see properly) and I'm -9.50L and -8.25R at my last check but I have to have another test and expect that to change. I know I said I was blind and realise that some people are worse than me but over a certain Rx without correction I just can't see much. I expect it's a relative term.
Jay.

Pretty hot sighting and a chance to chat as well. Lucky you. I have always liked hunky construction worker types with thick glasses. Seems so incongruous. I recently checked out a really hot Latino guy who was working with a construction gang and probably wearing -10s. Am sure that none of his other workmates had even a clue just how blind their co-worker was without correction.
Jay 28 Aug 2007, 13:37
Just spent the bank holiday with my aunt in Cambridge. She has builders doing work but this morning when I came down to breakfast, what a sight! A hunk about my own age was hard at work pushing a barrowload of sand but it was his glasses which captivated me. They were big, round and black with amazingly thick lenses - he'd be blind without them. At their tea break I asked to give them the tea and got to speak to him. He saw I was wearing spex too and said what a drag it was being so bind and so I said, How blind are you then? He let me have his glasses and wow! I couldn't focus at all. He said his rx is -14 and with lots of astigmatism so we compared spex for a while. I told him I didn't mind wearing glasses at all now and he just laughed and asked if it didn't turn off girls. Not a problem in my case I said. He got the message.

Yeah true, I just tried to ask him a photo of him wearing them to understand how they look...but I don't know if he will accept to send it. Anyway, I was once in Italy and lots of guys like to wear glasses there, usually as a fashion/ design accessory... that's probably the reason why this guy is really ok about his high rx!
tinyeyes 08 Aug 2007, 20:43
Yeah, the guy selling the glasses seems very nonchalant about them. -12 is a very strong RX, but he acts like it's no big deal and even mentions that you might be "lucky" and have his same RX. I'll say! To me, -12 is about the ideal RX.
Craig 08 Aug 2007, 09:00

In a nearby resturant yesterday I was the first customer and was served by a good-looking young guy with very long, wavy hair aged about 17 or 18, I guess a student doing a holiday job. He was explaining what was on offer and then said "And the specials are on the board over there" pointing at the opposite wall. With my poor sight I asked him to read them to me and to my suprise he blushed and from his inside jacket pocket produced a pair of rimless specs - and he turned out to be nearly as myopic as me. He had to squint a bit to read everything and so at my suggestion kept on his glasses for the rest of the time I was there. Since they weren't busy I managed to have some conversation (about eyes and specs of course!) and complemented him on his glasses which really did suit him. He told me that he'd had the same RX for two years now but accepted my suggestion that he get a test ASAP. Altogether a nice young man and a nice evening for me.
Fritz 15 Jul 2007, 09:55
Yesterday Ithink I saw the thickest myopic glasses ever on a modestly good-looking white guy about 28/29. The lenses were in a frame a bit too large for the prescription, but it probably wouldn't have made all that much differenc if it had been a bit smaller in diameter. The lenses were biconcave, had been beveled and an estimated three-quarter inches thick on the edges. (I'm also including the bit that also stuck out from the front of the frame.) They were certainly high-index and probably -25/-27 judging by the thickness,the enormous amount of cut-in and masses of power rings. His eyes were actually hard to see clearly, and I doubt that he had anything approaching 20/20 juding by the way he held his iPod to his face to see it. I think he was also squinting to see if the bus was coming, although it was hard to tell because his eyes were so distant behind the lenses. You'd have thought he would have had myodiscs at that stage which would have been far less noticeable and probably provided less distortion.
Again, not a major cutie but some appeal.
Last night in a restaurant, a very good-looking Italian-type (about 55)beautifully dressed with a gorgeous Cartier watch walked in with rather plain wire-rimmed glasses about -7. Looking around the well-lit bar for his companion (clearly gay) I noticed that he was squinting slightly trying to see across the room. A moment later, out came a new pair of very cool rectangular glasses, plano-fronted and at least another diopter stronger. End of squinting!! but he had to move them down his nose a bit to read the bar menu.

(just scroll down for the glasses pics - there are also loads more if you just type his name into Google Image).
Anyone able to estimate an Rx? It's very difficult, if not impossible with this Oakley type frames, but in any event, am sure it's nothing too substantial but obviously enough to help his game.

Went to a party tonight, for a friend's birthday, and had a very nice, extended sighting of his cousin (who was a straight guy) .... very good looking, hunky, tall Asian guy, in his early 20s, with really nice black rim glasses with around -8 power. They had edges thick enough to stick out well past the plastic frames, and great power rings and cut in. It was really nice to see this handsome guy confidently wearing his strong prescription. (By the way, my friend with birthday is also around a -7 or -8 I think, but I've never seen him in glasses because he always wears contacts.)
not so new guest 17 May 2007, 20:43
Euestace suggested that I cross post this one from the nearsightings thread:
funny you should mention the bare eyed and barefoot thing. A couple of years ago I went to a mall early one morning to see what shops were still in business there. It was still early enough for none of the stores to be open, so it was mostly senior citizens there getting their morning walk in. Anyway, what stood out was this one guy. He was in his early 20's, he was barefoot, just jeans and a t shirt but was wearing some of the thickest glasses I had ever seen. He had to be every bit of a -20.00 myope. I got to thinking about how screwed he would be if he lost or broke his glasses, but imagine how much more helpless he would be if it happened when he was barefoot. Trying to grope around a strange environment when your barefoot would be pretty hard if you couldn't see the ground or what you were stepping on.

Anyone seen Adam Hosker on The Apprentice (BBC)? He looks cute with his glasses on. Low minus set in a black metal frame with nice deep sides. See http://www.adamhosker.co.uk/enquiries.htm

Fran: have you had your eye test yet, and if so, what was the outcome?
sam12744 26 Apr 2007, 02:34
I agree;blueace is gorgeous.However,the rx appears very low.I can't see any discernable cut-in.
Brian-16 25 Apr 2007, 06:49
Julian- blueace is a hunk .I see a lot of guys with that style of frame here at college and all are very nearsighted.I wonder what is rx is?
Julian 25 Apr 2007, 04:37
That was what I thought. In every other picture Ricardo wears shades which might or might not be corrective; that's the only one with clear lenses and a definite Rx.
How did you like Daniel? I've looked again and in several of his galleries there's an odd one with his glasses on.
Mark One 25 Apr 2007, 00:29

Julian 20 Apr 2007, 23:34
Well, Bukbuddies didn't reply to my feedback asking for more models in glasses; BUT this week's collection includes one page with shots of Daniel either wearing his glasses or holding them in his hand. He might be more to some people's taste than Jude was - he certainly is to mine: http://www.bukbuddies.com/bukbuddies/daniel/catalog6/VOL1607_001.html. I also found some other spexy shots of him: http://www.bukbuddies.com/bukbuddies/daniel/myfirsttime_001.html and even one solitary one from only six months ago: http://www.bukbuddies.com/bukbuddies/daniel/catalog5/VOL4106_10_05_06_001.html. Low minus Rx I thnk.
Clare 18 Apr 2007, 12:38
Phil - now, do you mean you *always* wear these -4s in the dark, or that you *only* wear them in the dark? Symantics I know, the beauty of the English language ...
But come on, I'm no adviser on spectacle wear, it's taken me 15 years to find the first pair that I actually like!! Good luck.
OttO 18 Apr 2007, 09:42
Interesting observation ehpc. As a middle-ager with trifocals I can identify with that. I automatically adjust my distance to the reading material. What I really notice, however, is that when I'm in a book shop, grocery store, museum, etc, first I'll zero in on something with my intermediate or distance lenses, and then I find myself backing off or moving in closer to focus on what I'm looking at. Something I never had to do when I was younger. As far as I can figure, it must mean that my accomodation is about down to zilch! Fortunately, I don't think about it much. I just do it.
ehpc 18 Apr 2007, 05:25
Share prices are difficult in The Daily Telegraph too...............but what really foxes middle-aged eyesight, in my experience, is MAPS, which I obviously use a lot travelling around doing concerts and recordings.Maps really are designed to fox middle-aged eyesight as much as possible - if you can read the letters that say ENGLAND you can't read the letters that say Nether Wallop or whatever, and the other way round. The road numbers e.g. B7031 are another size again....etc etc etc..........it is a business of permanently bringing the map nearer one's face and then putting it further away......and then nearer..............etc etc etc......And then you get to the city, take out the A to Z, and the whole process starts all over again...........................
Phil 18 Apr 2007, 03:28
Not yet Clare. I've been rather busy at work.
The cheapo -4s now give me exactly the same correction as my -3.75 varifocals. And I've taken to wearing them in the dark!! So I don't think I'm in need of much of an increase in my minus rx this time.
But I'll be pressing for an increased add. I test the reading portion on the fractions in the share prices in the Standard! And an extra .25 or .5 makes all the difference. That's a good test for anyone who may think presbyopia's setting in! Try reading those tiny figures with the minus specs on. If you can't focus it's add time!!
Any ideas on frames? Wouldn't it be a hoot if you could come along as my adviser?

Fran 17 Apr 2007, 11:02
I'm 18 years old, so I don't have a credit card or cheque book, only cash. Does anyone know how to get those vouchers to buy things of ebay?
Phil 17 Apr 2007, 10:24
Fran,
You can buy minus specs by post, using a cheque, from Glassesdirect.co.uk. They are excellent, cheap and fast. I have four pairs from them: two pairs of lined bifocals, one executive style, one rounded; a pair made up to my reading rx (as assessed by me not some "mean" optician"; and a pair of single vision with just a little more minus. All ace!
Fran 17 Apr 2007, 10:17
I can't order online as I have no credit card
tinyeyes 16 Apr 2007, 22:11
Just to give my opinion, I like both Jude from Bukbuddies AND Matt Hale. Both are cute and spexy!
aviator -oo- 16 Apr 2007, 15:08
Fran: don't give up, it's not so complicated! In some countries (China, for example) you can buy ready made up glasses with minus values of between -1 and -6, in just the same way that you can buy reading glasses. OK, so if you're not visiting that part of the world it will be a bit more involved, but not too much. Regarding contact lenses, you could always start by asking your optician for some non-prescription cosmetic lenses, simply to change the colour of your eyes (for fun). That way you will get measured for them (actually, there are only a few different sizes) and get shown how to put them in. After that, you could order some prescription lenses on-line (lots of people on this site have discussed this in the COG thread). Forging a precsription is really very easy, I could e-mail you such a thing I and when you are ready. Have you ever been able to wear someone else's glasses for a reasonable period of time? If you do not need glasses, that could give you a feeling for what power of lens your eyes are able to 'accommodate'.
Fran 16 Apr 2007, 09:25
I'm from Ireland. I don't get the whole forge thing. And how would I get a pair of contacts? My only hope is to fail the test.
sam12744 16 Apr 2007, 01:47

aviator -oo- 15 Apr 2007, 16:08
Fran: my advice would depend on which country you are living in. In the first place however, I would suggest playing it straight in the eye exam - if you are not prescibed glasses, I would then think about forging a prescription and going to another optician saying that you needed to order a spare pair or something. I can provide further advice on how to forge a prescription if you need me to: a as a graphic designer, I have forged several using my DTP software. Also, you might like to think about what level of script you would like to have. If you want medium to high powered lenses (say over -3), then a contact lenses / glasses combination would be advisable, however if lower powered lenses appeal as a way of starting, then you could just go for a -1 to -2 script which you should be able to handle without compensation from contact lenses. Let me know if I can help some more.
Fran 15 Apr 2007, 15:39
Hi,
I'm going for an eyetest this week and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how i could become myopic. I don't wear glasses but i wish i did, any ideas would be great.
Julian 14 Apr 2007, 16:15
Bukbuddies again: in the (very explicit) 'Horny Houndogs' section there are two video clips featuring a spexy model called Chad who doesn't seem to figure in the still photos section. Might be more to some folks' taste than Jude.
sam12744 11 Apr 2007, 09:51
Julian,
Nice to see any model with glasses,but oh,that hair!
Julian 11 Apr 2007, 07:34
Mark One: it's always nice to see a post from you and know you're still around ... yes, I know what you mean about Jude. My point was that for the first time in - how long? - there was a new spexy model on Bukbuddies rather than what he actually looked like, and I sent feedback asking for more shots of Darrel, Dylan and other guys like them in their glasses. Maybe some more of us could follow suit?
Mark One 10 Apr 2007, 23:59
Julian, I got very excited when I saw your post and immediately clicked over. Sadly, Jude doesn't do anything for me. Closed that window as fast as if he'd been female. ;)
Julian 10 Apr 2007, 23:13
Ye-e-es. My real favourites are Dylan and Darrel. They both wore glasses in some of their older galleries, but they're also cute, cute CUTE!
Brian-16 10 Apr 2007, 18:44
Julian-One of the models (Bobby-no specs) looks like he would be a fun guy!
Julian 10 Apr 2007, 10:31
Hey, I've had my first proper browse for ages on Bukbuddies, and found a new model, Jude, who appeared last month and WEARS GLASSES! Not the loveliest ever IMHO, but it's the first set of spexy pics in years: gold wire, low minus; decent figure, decent legs; well-endowed. Anyhow, check him out for yourselves: http://www.bukbuddies.com/bukbuddies/jude/jude.html

Fritz, thanks for telling about the high-minus sightings. They are rare, and great! It's interesting how very high minus Rx's seem to cause the person to need to hold things close to see, even when corrected with glasses. Maybe it's because there is so much minification with an Rx in the high teens.
Fritz 26 Mar 2007, 12:41
Tinyeyes -- -18 is great and so rare. I think I saw a -16/-18 recently in the local USPO. Older guy around 50 who probably was once pretty good-looking in a clean-cut way but somewhat gone to seed. I'd noticed him before with his very thick glasses not only because the lenses were so strong but he also held paperwork quite close to his eyes. He just got new glasses with much smaller frames and clearly stronger lenses since they're just as thick as the old ones and, I believe, slightly biconcave. Still holds things pretty close to his face. Also saw a guy in the market also around 50 who had really small oval glasses with the left lens at approx. -15 and the right at least a -18. Kind of sexy in a conventional way and rather friendly. Shame they opened up another checkout and offered the first place in it to me. Normally a good thing but not this time.
tinyeyes 25 Mar 2007, 14:40
-18D? Wow, that's so amazing! I am just beginning to plan a trip to Asia. I wonder if there are really as many high myopes as I hear. -18D is hard to contemplate. How did the guy look in his glasses? How thick were they? Did you ask him if he ever tried contacts?
I like your idea about spotting glasses guys... but that would only work for guys who work in public places. Most of the guys I see are working out at the gym, shopping, at restaurants, etc., at random times. It's a great idea though!
jo 25 Mar 2007, 02:41
Any one who happens to be in Singapore should check out this guy who's working at the HOMEFIX store (note there are 2 HOMEFIXES. This guy is in the one that's selling mainly drills and heavier duty equipments) in the Alexandra IKEA building. Chatted with him and he mentioned his glasses are about -18D sphere with 5D of cylinder. Thick black frames and even thicker lenses. Not very tall, but still decent looking. Early twenties.
Just wondering, maybe we should have a thread to post about specific places where we can spot cute guys in thick glasses. So anyone who happens to be in that country could make a trip down to spot the cutie and perhaps even make it a part of the travel itinerary for OOs like us.... just a thot.
tinyeyes 23 Mar 2007, 07:15
Eustace,
Your sighting sounds great. I have seen high minus guys with rimless frames before too, and I always wonder how they got them. In my experience they always tell me rimless would be impossible (at -9).

I seem to have so few exciting sightings--and it's not for lack of being on the lookout. But, this past Saturday at a Russian Easter Bazaar, I spotted a good-looking young man--somewhere in his 20', short blond hair, fairly husky built, maybe 6' or close to it, with beautiful completely rimless glasses with high minus lenses. I would guess at least -10 and probably closer to -15. There were lots of power rings and sparkling reflection of the lights in the room, and the edges of the lenses were neatly and smoothly beveled. And his eyes were somewhat minified. Unfortunately, I was with my partner and not in a comfortable position to speak to him, but I do hope to run into him again one day soon. A real turn on!
Eustace 21 Mar 2007, 16:24
The surevey posted on Guys in Glasses is intriguing. I haven't taken or even looked very closely at this survey. Has anyone responded to it? If not, why not? Are there concerns over confidentiality or outing or what? Does Chris/Wurm endorse or approve it? And I notice that no one has even posted to G in G since the survey was posted!

tinyeyes,
I wore contacts for many years until circumstances forced the wearing of glasses because of the need for prisms.Since then I've become a glasses enthusiast(!) and also love doing GOC,as well as admiring other men in glasses.If you would like to see more of Gethin(without glasses),take a look at the famousmalesforum on the web,where he often appears.
Sam
tinyeyes 11 Mar 2007, 20:08
Well, at least he was willing to appear in glasses on TV at least once! I'm guilty of being too vain to wear my glasses very often, so I can't say too much. :-) My RX is about twice as strong as Gethin's, though. I feel self-consciously nerdy with my glasses on, even though glasses exactly like mine are a big turn-on when I see them on other guys.
sam12744 11 Mar 2007, 15:06
tinyeyes,
I guess Gethin wears contacts most of the time,but can't tolerate them for the length of what is probably a long day from rising in the morning to returning home in the evening.What a pity he is too vain to normally appear in public in glasses.

sam12744 11 Mar 2007, 03:37
A and Tinyeyes,
Thank you for posting those videos of Gethin from Blue Peter.I had no idea he was so shortsighted.There's quite a bit of cut-in there.If only he would wear his glasses "on air"! Apart from anything else,it would be great for all those glasses-wearing kids to see a favourite role-model wearing glasses instead of contacts.

I don't know how to make a link on here, but if you copy and paste these URLs, you will see videos of a delightful young guy who is farsighted. In the first video he talks about his eyesight and his decision to get contacts. In the second one, he puts his glasses on to read his computer.

Today I met a guy I've been talking on the internet for some time. I was very pleased to see him wearing nice rectangular glasses (around-4). It was double cool, because when I saw him on webcam there was no sign of glasses. Actually he looked really embarrassed that he was wearing his spex (contacts wearer!) and when we were sitting in a cafe he took them off and put them in his pocket. I was very disappointed for a couple of minutes but then he started squinting hard! Well, all I have to say is that I'm deffinitely meeting this guy again. And again *smirks*
Cali Girl 23 Jan 2007, 21:28
Over the past week I have been keepin an eye out on a guy in the office where I work that occasionally wears glasses.
At first I never paid attention to him but one evening as I was walking to my car after work and I saw this guy walking in front of me wearing glasses. I thought to myself "how cute" and "don't I know that guy?" I dismissed that encounter as just a nice random sighting and thought nothing of it since I had just talked to him a couple of weeks ago and there were no signs of glasses or contacts.
Well over the past two weeks the wind has really kicked into high gear and I saw him yesterday and today wearing his specs, needless to say, I was very pleased.

Royboy: all I get with that link is an order form - no model at all.
As for Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling didn't write the front cover and never says in any of the books that Harry is a myope. Certainly he sees badly without his glasses...when they're broken in Knockturn Alley he hold the broken pieces up to his eyes to see where he's going...he puts them on to open Christmas presents...on the other hand he sees something moving in the grounds (dog? cat?) without them but need them to see what it is. He could equally have hyperopia or a lot of astigmatism. I agree about the plano glasses in the films, though some of us thought they were low plus in the last one.
royboy 14 Jan 2007, 15:30

tinyeyes 13 Jan 2007, 15:35
OK Julian, good advice. It does seem like these dream "glasses guys" are never interested in me (or are about to have Lasik, or just had it, or ......) At this point, I'm just enjoying the view. If more comes out of it, that will be wonderful. Of course I'll tell him he looks good in glasses if I get the chance. Maybe I'll wear glasses too ... but most guys are not into that, you know! He's probably no exception. Thanks!
Julian 12 Jan 2007, 18:23
Tinyeyes: as you say he might be getign ready for LASIK; on the other hand he might have an infection, or even just need to give his eyes a break. Two suggestions: First, the next time you see him, TELL HIM HE LOOKS GOOD IN GLASSES, whether he's actually wearing them at the time or not. Secondly, go to the gym wearing your own glasses instead of the contacts I'll bet you were wearing. That way you might give him the same kind of treat he's giving you. And the best of luck (which you don't always seem to have!)
tineyes 11 Jan 2007, 21:07
Well, I saw him again today. And he was wearing the glasses again! (I hope he's not getting ready to have lasik or something).
This time, we were in the locker room. He chatted with me as he got undressed to take a shower. I was just getting there to start my workout. He walked away, wearing only a towel and glasses. He would have been pretty handicapped without them getting to the shower. Once again, I was hoping to catch him again before he left, but I never saw him. I can't get enough of the guy! By the way, I was mistaken last night about his eyes....they're big and BROWN. Not blue. Oops! Either color would look great on the guy; he's very handsome. I also got a good look at the lenses in his spex, which were sticking out behind his frames. They were falling down on his nose again, too. NICE....
VFL 11 Jan 2007, 18:36
Oh I love that "sheepish" look contact lens wearing men get when they're wearing the old specarooni's. Like they've been caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
Of course it all depends on the darling man. A good looking/darling acting guy who never wears them suddenly showing up in extremely strong glasses is unbelievably, undeniably gorgeous!
Oh, swoon.
Let's go a bit further. A guy who always wears contacts showing up in a pair of noticably powerful older, out of date glasses because that's all he has is even going to be more sheepish. But, boys and girls, hold on to yourselves, because he gets extra points if the prescription in said specs is not strong enough and he's squinting like mad. Oh yeah.
Katy 11 Jan 2007, 09:01
tinyeyes - he sounds incredible. I always assume that people don't have glasses unless I have seen them - it is amazing when they just turn up wearing them. A guy at my college (a year above me but a lot younger!) turned up a couple of weeks ago with strong looking flat fronted, plastic rimmed glasses, looking a bit sheepish. He only stayed for about 5 minutes, and I haven't seen him wearing them since. I hadn't really noticed him before, but now I'm fascinated - I want to get a better look!
Fritz 11 Jan 2007, 08:10
Tiny Eyes - Wow! Great sighting. I think I'd go to pieces as well. I had a similar experience last month where I work out. A prep dreamboat about 34 years of age with a terrific body was coming out of the shower looking myopically lost. Well, lo and behold, he went to his robe and fished outulled a pair of gorgeous gunmetal-color rectangulars which had lenses that were a baby-step away from being flat-fronted. They were high-index and not especially thick but had loads of power rings. So hot, especially when his face became more animated when he put them on. So straight. I'd love to be his g/f.
tinyeyes 10 Jan 2007, 22:07
Those of you who have "known" me here for a while already know this, but for some reason, nothing gets me more excited than finding out a guy who I didn't think wore glasses, actually has a very strong prescription -- when they show up wearing glasses instead of their contacts. Somehow it's much more exciting than a full-time glasses wearer to me.
tinyeyes 10 Jan 2007, 22:04
I've posted stuff like this on here before, but it happened again so here goes. There's this cute guy at the gym, who I've been seeing for at least a year and exchanging glances with. He's really cute: early 30s, dark hair on the longer side which looks great, short cropped beard, fair skin (Caucasian) and nice toned build. Oh yeah, and big blue eyes, which were distorted and tiny behind powerful minus glasses today for the first time! I already thought the guy was cute, but this was just too much. We've kind of said hi in passing before, but tonight he actually introduced himself (maybe it was the look on my face when I saw him in the glasses). We chatted a bit. I was going to be bold and give him my card before I left (even though I'm not sure how interested he is), but I couldn't find him again. The guy is cute without glasses (in contacts, I now realize), but with glasses....WOW! They are rectangular brownish plastic and around -8. They kept slipping and he kept pushing them up in that "I almost always wear my contacts" way. So adorable... and SEXY. My heart was POUNDING....I'm so hopeless with this fetish, it's ridiculous. Plus, I found out he lives in my neighborhood, too. I hope to see him again very soon!
VFL 08 Jan 2007, 18:30
OMG!!!! Henry from Accounting on "Ugly Betty!" Yum...yum...triple yum! Love the horn rims. The first scene he was in weeks ago the lenses were fairly strong minus. Now they seem to be plano.
Was that for effect?
All4Eyes 08 Jan 2007, 15:36
Ok, now I'm having one of those experiences that makes me wonder just how much my OO runs the rest of my life. Usually my preference is for shortish myopes and I generaly have a "thing" against red hair on men, but... Do you remember in the "Revenge of the Nerds" movies, there was this tall, redheaded guy (which one, you ask? Why, of course, the one with the glas- oh, wait, I forgot what movie we're talking about here, guess I have to be a bit more specific!) with strong plus glasses who was still pretty blind? Lately I can't get him out of my head!!! What on earth is wrong with me- he's not my type at all! But I think it's just so unusual (read:exotic) to see a young guy in strong plusses, especially one who obviously can't see well anyway, that I'm intrigued. Plus, a big part of my OO (along with the "helplessness aspect", a sense of something in common, and the "Ooooh, shiny things!" attraction) is the whole "geek-chic", cute nerd thing. Definately there's an attraction to intellegence (smart people are usualy more fun to talk to, plus they can come in handy if your computer crashes!), but I even find the sort of awkward, socially inept quality endearing. Sort of a cross between amusing and touching (amuching?).
All4Eyes 08 Jan 2007, 15:35
My favorite MIG's of all time:
1.All the real-life Guys in Glasses I've had the good fortune to know-especially my very first crush, the oh-how-hyperopic Jeff J. (in 4th grade he was a dream with blond hair, a killer smile, and BIG blue eyes and I bet he's really a knock-out now), and "my darling myope" Michael F., a dark-haired Italian cutie with the prettiest long-lashed brown eyes that just happened to have more myopia than his moderately strong specs could correct, so that he was an exeptional squinter, he broke my heart in middle school by falling for the Most Popular Girl in School and is no doubt even more myopic now 8-).
2.All the four-eyed fellas in the "Revenge of the Nerds" movies-most were either plano or quite low minus, I think, though there were so many, it was hard to decide who to "focus on" (no pun intended). But the one who at present has captured my imagination in particular is Poindexter, the redhead with strong plus lenses who still appeared to have poor vision even with them.
3. Buddy Holly-a healthy dose of minus in My Favorite Frames of All Time, plus a lot of fun, upbeat music, plus he was incredably cute.
4. Roy Orbison-good strong plusses and in the dark lenses, cool and hypnotically mysterious, plus great songwriting ability and a voice to die for.
5. John Lennon-his trademark round gold frames and decent minus lenses (I've always heard they were around my rx (-4), but those are some powerful power rings in some shots (I wonder if mine really look like that?)) only add to his legend status.
6.That "I'm with the Network" guy (formerly the "Can you hear me now?" guy?) from the Verizon wireless TV ads-decidedly minus,and once again, I gotta love those black plastic frames.
7. Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) from "Criminal Minds"-not a load of minus, but enough,my favorite frames again and I also love how he often removes and fiddles with them, giving a good (and, I'd wager, genuine) myopic squint now and then.
8. Matt Damon's character in the new movie "The Good Shepard"-I've only seen promos for this one, but those look like plus lenses in a nice kind of black plastic/half-rimless frame, just in the promos I've already spotted several juicy shots.
9. Scobo from "Big Day"-not technically an MIG, but more like an MINOG (Man in Need of Glasses), in the first episode of the show someone drank his contacts and he's been stumbling around bare-eyed every Tuesday night since, don't know if the guy who plays him is a real myope, but I enjoy watching his character cope.
10.Henry From Accounting from "Ugly Betty"-not sure if there's any script in those lenses, but love the frames and the ongoing intriuge between he and Betty, nothing like a nice spexy couple.
11. Adam from the Science Channel (I think) show "Mythbusters"- once again, a moderate minus in black plastic frames (did I mention I like those? 8-) ).

Julian, my link to Jason's blog is long gone and I'm having trouble finding it. Maybe if I go back in the Eyescene archives I can find it. I have some photos, but they are not posted online. Maybe I could post on one of the guysglasses groups. I have a photo of Jason in contacts only, though. Your sighting sounds fantastic, by the way! I'm sure I would like the guy and his super strong glasses!
James 02 Jan 2007, 07:54
Nameless poster,
I unfortunately don't know of a forum showcasing photos where some form of login or registration is not required. But as Julian says, Guysglasses is definitely worth joining.
Julian 02 Jan 2007, 07:21
This morning I took a diabetic friend to Out-Patients for laser treatment on her eyes, and sat in the cafeteria doing some paperwork. At one point I looked up and saw a young guy sitting at a table nearby with, I guess, his mother. He had fairish hair under a baseball cap, a red football shirt and, obviously even at that distance, very strong minus glasses. After a while I passed closer to their table and saw that they were in fact myodisks in quite a wide oblong black frame (wire? carbon fibre?) so that the circle of correction was well off centre in the frame. Later I went to the eye clinic waiting room to look for my friend and he was waiting to be seen there. It occurred to me he might normally be a contact wearer who'd been ordered into glasses before seeing the ophthalmologist, and/or he might be a candidate for surgery - not LASIK with his Rx, but maybe implants. Anyway, tinyeyes, having read your last post just before I left home, it occurred to me that even if you didn't like him you'd definitely like his glasses!
Secondly, I don't remember this Jason. Can you point me to a photo?
Love and kisses, Jules.
tinyeyes 01 Jan 2007, 21:51
I was looking through some old images and found some of Jason, a guy who some of us on eyescene obsessed about a while back (maybe 3 or 4 years ago). He was the young architecture graduate student who let it be known on his blog that he was a myope in the mid-teens. Has anyone followed him? I would still love to see a picture of him in his glasses.
Julian 01 Jan 2007, 11:15
Nameless poster: that's a bit of a tall order. In any case, anyone who likes guys in glasses will enjoy the 'guysglasses' groups, all 12 of them.

This thread has been really dead of late, so thought I'd post this link to a photo I just posted on Guysglasses 12:
http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/guysglasses12/photos/browse/2013
(not actually sure if that'll come up as a link or not, but anyway.....
He's a guy I had the rare and sublime pleasure of meeting on a seminar a few weeks ago. Obviously edited all the other ppl out the group shots, as I was not about to ask him if i could take individual pics of him. He's a 22 yr old Angolan newly qualified engineer, and am not entirely sure if the pictures do his HARD body and SERIOUS Rx justice. Speaking of which, can anyone venture a guess at his script? The only thing I'm sure of is that it was DEFINITELY double digits.
Happy new year to my fellow OO's!

Mark One 26 Nov 2006, 10:02
Gator, let me say welcome also. I'd imagine you'll hear from a number of guys who are into glasses as much if not more than you.
Solly, I agree with the others. The pictures are nice. Let us know for certain that they're of you. I'm also curious what your Rx is.
royboy 25 Nov 2006, 19:14
yo solly --- i checked out yor uther 2 pix w/glasses on photobucket --- very sweet! thanx man --- its nice to put a face with a name especially if u wear glasses. i wish we could have a cam forum where we could meet / see each other --- especially being gay with this fetish it is fustrating not being visual.

Yes I do wear glasses, have a very low Rx though ( -.75 both eyes) with astigmatism... wish they were stronger, but what do ya do? lol
Julian 25 Nov 2006, 09:59
OK Gator, welcome to EyeScene. Stick around here, and join the Yahoo 'guysglasses' groups, and you'll find lots of company. Do you wear glasses yourself? What's your Rx?

Nice spex Solly. My first pair were like them, but they always slipped down my nose and I had to keep pushing them up all the time or else cricked my neck when holding up my head to see!
I've got a pair of black plastic frames with narrower lenses now, but my prescription looks a bit higher than yours at aroud -9.00 now, with loads of power rings which I kinda like.
Julian 25 Nov 2006, 06:53
More than -7.5 there, surely?

Hey there guys, just the other day on the bus I was sitting next to this hot guy in glasses, wowo. He was great looking and he was wearing such thich glasses, well for me they were thick enough. We chatted and I told him that I think have the same perscription. I was wearing my contacts. When I told him this I asked him if I could see them... He handed them to me. Wowo... I noticed too that because his glasses were so thick he even removed the nose peices becaue he said that they were more comfortable that way. I asked him what his percription was and he said around -7.5. Anyways I GOT HIS EMAIL. YAY!
Julian 23 Nov 2006, 08:33
Well jotted, Sam!
sam12744 23 Nov 2006, 07:10
Bit of a Sam's jotting,rather than Julian's,this one!
In Waitrose this morning,when I was caused to go quite weak at the knees by the sight of a very attractive,slim guy in his mid-twenties,wearing brown trainers,blue jeans and a nice black reefer jacket,open over a trendy longitudinally-striped scarf.His good looks and short black hair were complemented by a stunning(well to me,anyway)pair of black plastic fashion-framed glasses(Gucci or similar),which suited him well and had lovely thick lenses,with lots of cut-in.His eyes were minified most attractively and,given that they were almost certainly high-index,I estimate his prescription must be at least minus 8 or 9.Certainly the lenses would be around 8-9mm thick at the edges.
After completing my shopping,I had the bonus,as I drove off,of seeing him again,feeding the ducks on the adjacent canal.I have never noticed him before in 20 months of living here,but I really hope I shall see him again in the future.
tineyes 19 Nov 2006, 20:44
It is a big jump, isn't it? But I think it's mainly to deal with the spectacle blur because I wear contacts most of the time. The frames are black rectangular plastic, and the lenses are 1.67 high index.
Fritz 19 Nov 2006, 12:19
Tinyeyes - That's a pretty big jump at 39. What kind of lenses and frames did you get?
Fathom 18 Nov 2006, 21:49
A heads up to those who love spexy guys. The latest ("Sexiest Man Alive") issue of People magazine has a section entitled "Men With Glasses: It's so clear! Specs make these men into some serious eye candy", including a full page of pictures of various male celebrities in glasses... everyone from John Stamos to Guy Pearce to Tim Robbins.
tinyeyes 16 Nov 2006, 23:29
My new glasses arrived today, the first in about 4 years. I wear contacts most of the time, and my prescription is fairly steady, but I wasn't seeing well with glasses and needed a bump in the prescription. So I'm up to -9.25 in glasses, about a diopter above my contacts. That diopter makes a big difference, especially when I put the glasses on just after taking my hard RGP contacts out. They distort my eyes and I think that's partly why the extra power in the glasses has become necessary. At age 39, it's my highest RX ever...

tinyeyes 03 Nov 2006, 23:45
I saw a good looking, younger (mid 20s) guy today, who looked like he was half Asian/half Caucasian, with really nice glasses on. He was quite nearsighted, probably around -8, and unlike the norm these days, he DIDN'T go for the high-index option, so his lenses were quite thick. They looked awesome with nice polished edges around a quarter inch thick. A nice reminder of what all high myopes used to wear before the advent of high index.

These recent posts have reminded me of an experience many years ago: I "slept over" with a guy who was extremely myopic, with glasses with lots of power rings. He wore his wrist watch to bed, but when his alarm went off in the morning, he had to put his glasses on to focus on his wrist watch--even though he brought his wrist very close to his eyes!

Isn't Harry and the Earl of Wessex one in the same? Hence, glasses for driving.
lurking 28 Oct 2006, 13:49
There was a couple in my group of friends in college. Jenny and Mark had been dating since I met them. Mark wore glasses and his rx had to have been at least -12, probably closer to -15 or -16. I think a good deal of it might have been astigmatism. Mark had a bad habbit of Jenny catching him staring at other attractive women. Not that he would have cheated on her, but he really liked to stare. One time at an outdoor party she caught him craning his neck at a couple of girls walking by. Jenny didn't throw a fit or get mad, she just casually snatched his glasses and walked over to talk with some other people she knew. Mark was pretty much screwed the rest of the night because he couldn't see a thing. The rest of us got a chuckle out of it, especially when he had to ask some of us to help him find her. When he got to her she cut him off before he could get a word out and said "Don't even bother asking because you're not getting them back until we get home." The walk home must have been a real treat because it was really dark and he had to hold onto her arm as they left.
VFL 26 Oct 2006, 12:37
Oh Katy, Another great memory is this: One guy I dated who wore contacts picked me up for a date once wearing his glasses. When I opened the door, the first thing he did was shyly adjust the glasses and say, "Sorry about the glasses. I was having trouble with my lenses today...and...".
This was the first time I'd seen him in his glasses and was absolutely thrilled. Cute, cute, cute. I told him he looked great, that the frames really suited him. "Good choice!" I said. This was circa 1985-86 and they were kind of tortise-y schoolboy frames with gold arms. I think he was the only farsighted boy I ever dated. He had big brown eyes and those lenses made them look like liquid chocolate.
Over dinner that night he took them off once to clean them. I asked what brand they were and he handed them to me saying, "It's probably written somewhere on the frame. I can't see to read without them."
I nearly died. The thing about being a woman who has a "thing" for guys who wear glasses is we are soooooooo easily amused!
I wear my own glasses once in a blue moon, but I find that when I do, people always want to discuss their own vision/glasses/contacts. This has led to several men outing themselves as contact wearers as well. Interesting.
James 26 Oct 2006, 11:10
Wayne,
That was the thing with my friend Jake, the guy who only put his glasses on once inside the lecture - that he coped without them TOTALLY defied logic. I mean either he was some kind of medical anomaly or had coping mechanisms beyond normal people's understanding. I was actually being conservative when I said -9.....his glasses were obviously hi-index but had ENDLESS power rings, and even with the special materials, were noticeably thick at the edges.
Because he mostly wore contacts, he was obviously one of those guys (like me) who just never wore glasses full time, and as a result, never fully got over the initial self consciousness hurdle and was, in a way, perpetually trapped in it. One thing about him, though, was once the glasses went on in the morning, he DID keep them on all day.
Katy 26 Oct 2006, 02:34
VFL - you are right about that ruffled-up, first thing in the morning look. I love men with just glasses and a dressing gown on - the fact that they have put their glasses on first thing in the morning, and the way they look so laid back but completely sexy at the same time - they haven't had to put any effort into it :-)
I haven't seen anyone hold their glasses up to see the alarm clock, but I would like to! My boyfriend tends to lean very close to it and then squint. I remember with the ex that I was talking about, his alarm clock was a couple of metres away on a shelf or sometimes on the fireplace (student rooms - no bedside tables) - he used to ask me if I could see _where_ it was, then he would go and hold it up to look at it :-)
Wayne - talking of trying to read without your glasses on reminds me of a guy I used to know, about 45 and -5 or 6 - I think he was avoiding bifocals, because he used to lift his glasses to read small print, and hold the paper really close. He would only do it for a couple of seconds at a time, as though he was shy about it, but I loved the way it showed exactly how far he could see without his glasses :-)
Wayne 25 Oct 2006, 22:16
James, (continuing):
I agree about the "double vulnerability" of a chubby guy with glasses.
I also love guys who are attempting to manage without strong glasses. The attempt to avoid anyone noticing that he can't see. The squints and myopic stares. Surreptitiously leaning close to see something.
I do tend to doubt that the -9 guy could have recognized you at that distance. Even a -6 would have some difficulty unless he squinted hard. Possibly, he recognized your voice? I also think anyone -5 and over would not be able to read without holding a book uncomfortably close to his face. It can be fun to watch him try %-)
A couple of other things I like. Watching a nearsighted guy try on frames. Find a frame, take your glasses off and put on the frame. Lean close to the mirror to see how they look. Put glasses back on to look for another possibility, etc.
Finally, contacts -- the kind you can sleep in. On the one hand, don't see the guy wearing glasses most of the time. But one day a week he will have to wear glasses to rest his eyes.
Wayne 25 Oct 2006, 21:59
James, loved your posts about guys and situations that are a turn. I agree most all of them.
I think in the case of Blacks, working class guys and jocks it's a question of a cultural desire to appear strong or tough and masculine. Glasses add a nice sense of vulnerability to this tough pose.
I recently saw a young Black man walking down the outdoor 16th St. Mall in Denver exhibiting typical hip hop dress and mannerisms. He was wearing fairly strong minus lenses -5 or -6 perched on the end of his nose like reading glasses. When he wanted to see something, he'd raise his head to look through the glasses. I've seen this before and I think it's a combination of wanting people to see his eyes without minification and cut-ins and giving the appearance of not being dependent on them (although he actually was).
Wayne 25 Oct 2006, 21:39
Nice sighting this afternoon. At a McDonald's restaurant I was served by a very nice looking young man who looked to be around 20 years old. Medium build and quite handsome.
And, of course, glasses. Very interesting glasses. A wrap around wireless semi-retangular frame. Very strong looking plus lenses with a lot of cylinder in them.
I'm better at guessing Rx in minus lenses, but these looked significantly strong -- somewhat thick and thick edges showing on the inner side of the lenses. A lot of distortion looking through the lenses. With the additional amount of cylinder I doubt that he could see much without the glasses.
RBK 25 Oct 2006, 14:16
MMMMMMMM I have always had a fantasy of a preppyish, jokish, tall, very myopic man wearing basketball shorts and glasses, nothing else..... Do you think that since the weather is getting colder we might get to see more 4 eyed men?
VFL 25 Oct 2006, 13:48
Eustace, I agree with you on the guys shaving with their glasses on. Let's expand that to wearing nothing but a towel, a smile and their glasses.
I've been with several very nearsighted guys and never knew of any of them to shower with their specs on. But that reminds me of another thing I like. How about in the winter when a bespectacled guy comes in from the cold and his specs steam up? The glasses come off before the coat, hat and muffler. It's very endearing.
I have always been very good at spotting contact lenses. But I never mentioned it when I was just getting to know a guy. I always waited for the "by the way, did you know that I wear contacts?" conversation. That was always fun.
Love, love, love guys who wear glasses.
MET 25 Oct 2006, 11:56
Met a guy one time at a bar. He was trying to break into the music industry. He played keyboards. Didn't know he was wearing contacts until I saw him another time. He told me his contacts were bothering him and he couldn't see very well with them on. I instantly became curious about his glasses, but wouldn't dare ask much about it. One time he had his friend drive because he said his contacts weren't giving him correct vision. I recommended he see an eye doctor and he said he had been there. He told me his precription was very high and the optician didn't have his rx in stock so he chose to take something less just to get by. Now this became more an more exciting. He picked me up one night for a formal party his work was throwing for the holidays. This took place in the late 80's. He showed up at my doorstep wearing round very thick glasses. I was in heaven the rest of night. It was interesting to see him take off his glasses when we were sitting at a table. He gave me a blank stare. This was before hi index, so his glasses looked extra thick. He told me he'd been wearing glasses since he was very young. Towards the end of the night, he asked whether I had ever kissed "a guy who wore glasses." Obviously very self conscious of his glasses. After that he got his correct contacts and I rarely saw him in glasses again. The relationship didn't last long, he had a lot of hang ups and I couldn't deal with them. So, we parted ways.

Original Tony: I thought the guy in the foreground of that photo had strong *plus* lenses...he's kind of out of focus, but there's something in the way they hold the light.

If you are in to men in thick glasses, try going to a Model Railway exhibition; I occasionally go to dream about what I could do with my humble little Hornby set, but seldom fail to see at least one person with a double-figure prescription. Moreover, they have often spent more on their hobby than their glasses, so normal plastic lenses are not uncommon.

Hi all. I haven't posted in ages. I'm the Mark that's been kicking around here since the original incarnation. Thought I'd poke my head out and clarify that the recent postings from the various Marks aren't me. I'll use this name from here on out so no one is confused. LIfe is good. Still mad for bespectacled guys. Quite excited to finally see a picture of Prince William. Maybe more will appear now that the first one has been published and he sees that the sky doesn't fall.
Eustace 24 Oct 2006, 19:03
Oops! I intended to address my last post particularly to VFL.
Eustace 24 Oct 2006, 19:00
I loved the two images that you just posted--real turn-ons!
I might share two of my favorite imagess: guys that shave with their glasses on and guys who shower with their glasses on.
Original Tony 24 Oct 2006, 17:25
Not a very flattering picture of Prince william.
Are they not allowed fashion frames?
Check out the first guy in the picture - some very strong minus there?
I thought you had to have good eyesight to be in the services?
P.S. I was on a flight recently and the pilot had significant minus glasses.What are the rules with regard to this?
VFL 23 Oct 2006, 20:37
Katy, Your boyfriend sounds like a keeper! New glasses that hold a stronger prescription are always good, no?
Yes, the boy with the squarish tortiseshell frames was a cutie, but, ultimately did me wrong!!!!!
Let's talk about something very yummy, okay? How about the guys who wear contacts nearly all the time, but on certain weekend mornings don their glasses? There is something about an unshaven, slightly rumpled guy first thing in the morning smiling at you over a cup of coffee, wearing his glasses. Especially when you don't see him in them that often.
Oh and the cuties that put their glasses on before they even get out of bed in the morning. And how about the guys who in order to see the alarm clock grab their glasses from the nightstand and just sort of hold them in front of their eyes.
Yes, indeedy. Thank God for myopic men.
Katy 23 Oct 2006, 14:23
VFL - Too right, thank God for myopic men :-) You must have chosen your boyfriends more carefully than I did. I tended to go out with someone, and hope they had glasses, rather than checking first! I love that thing where you are in a guy's house for the first time and you are scanning all the surfaces for a glasses case, and the thrill of it if you see one. The ones that didn't have glasses, I persuaded to visit the opticians, and quite often they got a small prescription - but that didn't compare to the ones that had worn glasses for years and had a 'real' rx.
My most memorable ex had glasses that must have been around -7 or 8 - I can work that out now but at the time I didn't have a clue about guessing rxs. He wore contacts about half the time - there didn't seem to be any pattern to it so you never knew when you would see him in glasses. He had small frames and the lenses weren't that thick but they had tons of power rings - must have been high index. We were at uni at the time and he was studying physics.. I would love to see how strong his glasses are now :-)
Your guy with the tortoiseshell frames sounds nice :-) My boyfriend got new glasses a few months ago and they are quite a bit thicker than his old ones - a combination of an increase in rx and normal index lenses - they are about 7mm at the edge. He wears them happily, knowing how I feel about them - I think having an OO for a partner can change your attitude :-)

Thought I had read about harry wearing glasses when driving.
Julian 22 Oct 2006, 17:35
Mark: any reason for supposing Harry HAS glasses?
asphodel 22 Oct 2006, 13:59
last night i had this dream of making love to professor snape from harry potter books. he was wearing strong minus glasses
Eustace 22 Oct 2006, 10:58
Another recollection: Our home has a back yard with a gentle slope going downhill. Once, at a dnner party where we had all had a bit too much to drink, several of us lay on the gound and rolled to the bottom of the hill several times. One myopic guest by the name of Ben took his glasses off before rolling and left them on a ledge at the top of the garden. My partner, who is also quite myopic, exchanged his own glasses for Ben's. When Ben came to the top of the hill to fetch his glasses and unknowingly put on my partner's glasses, he gasped that something had happened to his eyes as his vision was distorted. He thought that he had injured his eyes in the frivolities. I suppose it was a rather cruel joke and my partner soon exchanged glasses with Ben, who took it all with good spirit.
Eustace 22 Oct 2006, 10:48
James'recollections are wonderful--and are helping me to trigger some recollections of my own.
1. Years ago, my partner and I had a very attractive and myopic friend who had just moved from Rumania. He was visiting our apartment once and asked if he could take a nap before we went out to dinner. When he woke up, he could not find his glasses and went into an absolute panic. I found them for him in the bathroom, exactly where he had taken them off, and I gently placed them on his face.
2. Taking a guy's glasses off his nose and/or putting them on his nose is, in itself, a turn-on for me. I once had a roommate who never cleaned his glasses. They were often visably dirty and smudged. I used to take them off, clean them, and put them back on his nose!
VFL 21 Oct 2006, 17:07
Dear Katy,
Yes indeedy they all had glasses like that except for one. (And he had no glasses at all!)
You know what I always liked? When my boyfriends would get new glasses. The anticipation was so great! It was almost like getting a whole new boyfriend!
One guy I went with wore contact lenses exclusively and the first time I saw him in glasses I nearly fainted with desire! They were brand-new squarish tortiseshell frames and the lenses were so thick they stuck out on the front and tbe backs. He hated them and was embarrassed with how the lenses looked, but I was secretly thrilled.
He took them back to the optician and had the edges of the lenses polished, which didn't make a whole lot of difference. This was back in the late 70's/early 80's so high-index lenses weren't available yet.
I used to pray for "having trouble with the contacts" days.
My mom is the only person who ever asked about my only going out with guys who wore glasses. It was when I was in high school and I nearly died of embarrassment. You should have been there when I looked at her and said: "Really? I never noticed."
Like hell I never noticed.
Thank God for myopic men.
James 21 Oct 2006, 12:03
Part 2
4. Chubby, slightly overweight guys. I know this sounds completely contradictory given 3.) above, but fetishes unfortunately don't conform to logic. Definitely don't have an obesity or bear fetish (that I'm aware of), but love a soft-at-the-edges guy, preferably prematurely balding too. I am seriously not kidding here. One of my most enduring sightings (enduring viz the memories in my head, not my relationship with him, we met once) was Danny, a chubby guy with receding hairline. Now when I read that back, he sounds awful. But believe me when I say he was FABULOUS - monstrously thick glasses, constantly rubbing the corners of his eyes, and his weight gave him this extra layer of vulnerability that made him doubly endearing.
5. The nerd/geek archetype. Obviously too many to mention. What I have noticed is that many so called nerds/geeks' glasses are disappointingly weak, contrary to the stereotype.
6. The guy who SO needs to wear his glasses all the time but doesn't. Had a friend Jake a few years ago, mostly wore contacts (and a swimmer with the body to match), but sometimes came to varsity (what we called university for short) in glasses. Except that he actually wasn't wearing glasses. He couldn't have been less than -9, and yet would only put on the glasses when he sat down (in the front row of course). To this day I am not sure how he functioned at all, and yet, he would say hi from quite a few metres away without his glasses, which I also can't understand (lucky guess). Another guy I tutored, must've been around -8 or more. NEVER wore his glasses until he sat down. So myopic was he that he had to put on his glasses TO READ! This should surely have tipped him off to the fact that he should've been a full time wearer like 5 diopters earlier. But some are always in denial. And that is also hot, in its own way.
7. Guys on motorbikes. Have actually seen more of these over the years than one might expect. Also a turnon is the taking the glasses off (a turnon in general, but even more pronounced here) to put on/take off the helmet.
I could go on forever, but pretty sure I've run out of space. Anyone else want to elaborate on some of their favourite types?
James 21 Oct 2006, 12:02
Was recently meditating (ok, FANTASISING, my fetish is totally closeted) about some of my favourite guys over the years, and discerned from them a certain "patterns" or man-in-glasses" that I could NEVER get enough of. Here are some of them.
1. Black/mixed race guys in strong minus. I realise this is not very politically correct of me, but, well, neither is having a fetish in general.
2. What Eustace referred to as the "blue collar" types. These are more common than one might imagine, and undoubtedly the strongest minus I have ever seen (I would guess about -18) were on rather a rough looking heavy goods delivery guy wearing overalls. 2 of my other favourites are a weekend security guy at my local market (AND he is mixed race - double whammy) and a cashier at another supermarket (YES, I am a supermarket whore, they are a GREAT place for sightings in Cape Town, nowhere else compares for sheer volume alone)
3. Jocks/athletes. Unfortunately have only ever known one bona fide Greek god who wore strong minus. When I say strong, -6 or so is the very minimum for guys to pass muster and make me look twice. So for me, this one is more fantasy than personal experience. I know they are out there somewhere but either they're a) they're permanently in contacts b) I'm going to the gym at the wrong time or c) I'm just going to the wrong gym (the one tinyeyes frequents sounds GREAT for sightings)
To Be Continued

Please post a picture of Harry in his glasses.
Julian 21 Oct 2006, 09:01
I like the guy in the foreground wit the strong plus Rx too.
Brian-16 21 Oct 2006, 05:29
Julian-I think Prince William looks great with his glasses no matter what the rx. I am certain in years to come the rx will increase.
21 Oct 2006, 00:38
He looks good in them - but are they strong enough? There's a suggestion of a squint there.
Geoff 20 Oct 2006, 19:12
Maybe the Prince has finally decided to go "public" about hos glasses. Not so bad--balding with spectacles--just like some of us.
Julian 20 Oct 2006, 18:57
...or even dreaded.
Julian 20 Oct 2006, 18:56
He hasn't had the dreades l*s*k then?

In today's (Friday's) Sun newspaper there is a photo of Prince William, with a caption saying this is the first time he has been seen in public with his glasses on
Katy 19 Oct 2006, 09:46
VFL - wow - lucky you! Did they have glasses like that? I have only ever been out with two guys with strong glasses, and one is my current boyfriend. I would so love to be the girl in that film (apart from getting strangled..) :-)
VFL 18 Oct 2006, 08:54
What a cutie! He looks like every guy I ever dated in high school and college.
Katy 18 Oct 2006, 08:44
Yes, I thought he should have been able to see his glasses too.. -17s would have been great :-) But I was impressed that they used real lenses, and ones as strong as that - usually film-makers have no idea about prescriptions. There is a shot of the glasses on the floor, with the arms minified through the lenses, as if to show how strong they are :-)
18 Oct 2006, 06:13
Excellent film. My only complaint is that it's unrealistic for a -8/-10 to not be able to find his glasses right next to him on a clear light-coloured floor. I popped in my GOC combo to see if it would be possible with -17, and if you're panicked enough I can see it being possible. So, they should have had him wearing stronger glasses :)
But OO-criticisms aside, a very excellent film - suspenseful, great cinematography.
Katy 18 Oct 2006, 00:37
D - I would love to know! I did a search for him (Kevin Andrews) on Google and YouTube a while ago but couldn't find anything at all.
D 17 Oct 2006, 17:36
Katy
does the guy really wear glasses, or just for 4 that movie ??
Katy 17 Oct 2006, 15:34
Oh my god! The film 'Dark Glasses' is on YouTube :-) Cute guy loses his glasses (-8/-10?) and has to go round without them for the whole film. Mmmm! OO heaven :-)
