thanks miranda for reminding me of those great moments when i see someone here in tampa or whereever i am that has some really signifigant specs..............i spoke about this guy john sometime ago and then lost track of him, and again he showed up the day before yesterday with his ultra large and thick welfare glasses...the power rings are so strong becuase of the deep inset of the myodoscs.........all in all he appears to be about a -26d........he's tall, brawney and very dark(black) so his power rings come off like silverdiamonds in the lucid sky......oh boy you gotta see this one to believe it......there was another one too in a dollar store about a month ago......this must be the capitol of high scripts..............as much as flicker and folkti are interesting sights, i think i'll reserve my energy for picasa web albums for now.............
Miranda 20 Dec 2011, 12:53
I had a nice sighting on my way home for Xmas. On a long flight from the US to Europe I was wearing glasses (~ -7) myself. I am a 99.5% contacts wearer so I always feel a little uncomfortable if I have to.
Anyways, the guy sitting next to me was really adorable and had facinating eyes with long lashes. We were talking for a while. When we were close to landing, he pulled some glasses out of his pocket. My heart skipped a beat, I couldn't believe it at first. They were black and huge, roundish nerd style. Not really strong though, -2 or so. This was really a nice surprise and I had to stop myself from staring at him all the time.
Dave 20 Dec 2011, 12:03

Great Tumblr Tinyeyes - i'll be checking in regularly.
Particularly like those two CAM4 guys - only ever seen catachip live though and on that occasion he came on his glasses and then took them off to clean them. It was almost like I had scripted how the whole thing should go!
Also love the guy with the sidenote about being too nearsighted for LASIK and saving up for ICL's - where did you find him?

Partly because of the impending closure of this site, I have started my own tumblr blog to post my photos and links on. You guys are welcome to follow.
There may be some photos that came from sources here on Eyescene -- if you want me to take down an image you feel is your own, you can let me know.
There are a lot of pages with guys in glasses on Tumblr, but I didn't see any specifically about strong glasses, so that is my focus.
http://guyswiththickglasses.tumblr.com/
You can follow multiple blogs on tumblr, and they will show up on your "feed".

Look up Robert Mcdermott 101 on youtube (sorry I can't get links to work this morning). Nice looking young man with pretty strong + glasses. In his latest video, he is not wearing glasses. He says they were broken in a fight, and in a comment he says his RX is +7. Surprising that he isn't particularly concerned about not having glasses given his RX--he must be pretty uncomfortable.

thanks Guest, i did not know that the vid was of a celeb. i checked out some of the project runway skits that Santanos is in, without glasses and has a much fuller beard - he kind of looks very earthy and scruffy wouldnt even think he was the same guy [and not too sexy in my humple opinion]. but here ie really hit the spot - i really feel like i connected with him [would absolutely LOVE to meet him in person!] possibly in the vid he is much younger. born in 1974 so he is pushing 40.
talking of celebs - here is one of those gorgeous JONAS brothers whom ive recently noticed wearing glasses - and i had assumed that he had jumped on the band-wagon wearing those fake 'nerd' glasses like so many other other celebs are doing these days [yes i'm talking about you, my lovey-dovey, Justin B.].
well here Joe J talking about his REAL glasses that he is wearing in this clip:

thanks for the vid, tivosante!
he so mesmerizing! just the perfect man with the perfect glasses (that are so naturally a part of him). add those delicious lips to the scenerio - and you have the perfect man! I wish there was more vids of him......yum, yum...it would be heaven to meet or see him in the flesh.

JP 03 Nov 2011, 17:17
Thanks royboy. I like that this guy has the courage not only to be open about his sexuality, but also to wear his glasses.

Tinyeyes 02 Oct 2011, 10:05
I hate when I find unsavory characters and criminals attractive. But google Anwar al-Awlaki. He wore quite a strong minus prescription in a variety of frames.
tinyeyes 30 Sep 2011, 00:27
Those are great sightings too, Dave... Even better is when the gym jock can't wear contacts and shows up one day for a workout in thick glasses... occasionally it happens!
Dave 29 Sep 2011, 15:29
Hi tinyeyes -- Yes, that sounds like a great sighting. This morning in the Mission I spotted a reasonably good-looking Middle Eastern type with -11/-12 glasses in a very trendy "geek-style" frame. The frame was ever so slightly oversized which really emphasized the power of the lenses. Flat fronts, of course, and major cut-in. When he looked at his cell phone he got closer than normal to see the screen. Clearly straight as he couldn't take his hands off his g/f.
Best yet for me are the hot, straight young guys in my club who just haven't acknowledged their myopia. There are a couple of major dolls who really need a bit of correction who can be seen most days trying not to squint too much at the tv (albeit a small one) in one of our locker room lounges. They always hold their heads back slightly and lower their lids just enough to get things into "better" focus. Somehow weak eyes doesn't comport with their jock image.
tinyeyes 29 Sep 2011, 00:53
I don't usually post sightings anymore, but at the gym today I had a good one -- tall young (late 20s maybe) Asian guy with VERY thick glasses. I think they were around -14 or -15, and didn't seem to be myodiscs. The lenses were over a quarter inch thick and polished. When I saw him he was finished with his workout, adjusting his glasses, and headed to the locker room. I went in there a few minutes later, and he was taking a shower, with no glasses anywhere in sight, which amazed me because of his strong prescription. I couldn't exactly hang around waiting for him to come out of the shower, although I really wanted to, to see how he would find and put on his glasses. I came back in a few more minutes later, and he was dressed and the coke bottles were on, of course. It was a fantastic sighting -- I don't see attractive guys with prescriptions that strong more than once or twice a year.

I was travelling on the Tube the other day when a straight couple, both about 30, sat opposite. An unusual eye-catcher for me in that he wore a healthy plus prescription (Hard to estimate but perhaps +4.00) in a cute semi-rimless frame with those temples that get wider half way down.
I have to say he looked gorgeous, his eyes magnified, and a handsome body to go with his glasses. I wouldn't have given him so much attention if it wasn't for the glasses. Pleased to be surprised by this plussy.

tivosesante 19 Sep 2011, 06:18
as fate would have it, i ran into this guy twice before actually, three encounters all toll, so on the third i decided to stop and talk with him, turns out he's homeless and so i releived his plight a bit and asked his permission to take a few fotos..............he's blind in one eye and both lenses in his glasses are incredibly thick and myodisc in construction..he did'nt seem to know what his script was and also seemed to have no prescription on him........i would say he's around -30 d...as soon as i get home, i'll upload them onto my picasa web album and send them out...............
tivosesante 17 Sep 2011, 07:34
yes joe, thankyou, and well done, i myself am slowly putting together a picasa 3 album and found yours full of many really strong scripts and handsome guys..........incidentally while in n..y.c. yesterday i saw a guy with the strongest glasses ever, at least 3/4 in. thick.................

Wow, that's great, Jo. So does your partner wear contacts, or glasses full-time? What about you?
Jo 16 Sep 2011, 07:15
Yeah.. i live in Asia, and there are indeed alot of sightings. It helps that i'm versed in both English and Chinese which allows me to search for many of these asian guys. and i'm happy to share that i've finally found a partner, who is -18.
tinyeyes 15 Sep 2011, 23:25
Wow Jo.... what a collection! I've seen a lot of these pics before, but so many I've never seen! Did you live in Asia to collect so many of the Asian pics? There are a lot of dream guys in those albums.... thanks for posting it all.
I have to say, I love the photo of the optometrist's RX for -11.25/-12.25. A dream RX, and pure poetry. 8-)

kevin thanks for posting the link of zac. I adore him - had no idea he wore glasses. That just makes him that much yummier!
Myopic Grant 05 Sep 2011, 12:48
Wow, I've watched his ghost show on Travel Channel before, but he's never worn his glasses, yet from looking at his archive pictures, he wears them a lot. He has a good body,..would love a picture of him wearing glasses with his shirt off! I'd say he's around a -6 or -7.

Not really glasses-related (and a little morbid, sorry), but George Tiller, the guy in that video (a "late-term" abortion provider) was actually murdered, during a church service, in May 2009.
Interestingly (again in a morbid way), he was shot at close range in the eye.
Tinyeyes 03 Sep 2011, 08:48
Thanks for the link, Tony. His lenses look thick (not very high index) and there is no ar coating, which makes the glasses look even stronger with nice reflections. Nice.

Royboy: you are so right about Prince William, that's a particularly good shot of him. Three comments:
(1) Seems to me he isn't as shy about appearing in public in his glasses as he used to be. Can this be Kate's influence?
(2) He isn't the only member of his generation of the Royal Family to wear glasses in public - remember his cousin Peter Phillips.
(3) Are those new glasses in that pic? They look to me like rimless or semi-rimless. As you say, sweet!
tinyeyes 12 Aug 2011, 00:59
James, totally agree -- there is something so sexy about the bald with glasses look. David King is one of my favorites -- it's the personality and voice (nerdy I guess, but masculine) along with the face and wonderful strong glasses.
Obsessed 11 Aug 2011, 13:31
I have always been into middle-aged men... :) Yum! Especially with glasses! My favorite type is latent hyperopes who suddenly realize they need glasses for distance at age 45 or so :)
But high myopes are pretty gorgeous, too! Love them!
James 11 Aug 2011, 12:05
Aaargggh....David KinG even
James 11 Aug 2011, 12:05
Tinyeyes and Obsessed: glad you like him too. I like him in the same sort of way I like that bald librarian guy on flickr, David Kind. Bald with glasses can be a hot combo!
What I also like is that he doesn't have the stereotypical shrinking violet type of personality one might ordinarily associate with a high myope. He is known to be quite defiant/abrasive/controversial when interviewing politicians.
tinyeyes 11 Aug 2011, 09:18
I love this picture of Nick. It really shows the high power of his lenses. He's probably pushed the glasses down on his nose to read something, which shows that (at least at the time of photo) he isn't in bifocals yet.

James, thanks for posting Nick Robinson! Regardless of his age, he's cute and the high prescription is hot. I would agree that he's in the -9 or -10 range.
Obsessed 11 Aug 2011, 08:45
Wow! Very hot! And he's definitely got quite a few diopters in his glasses! I'd say 10?
James 11 Aug 2011, 03:42
I know not everyone is into that bald, middle-aged look, but I am (if the glasses Rx is right), so here goes.
Nick Robinson is the (head, I think) political correspondent for BBC news.
Here is a selection of images:

Jose Padilla is another good example. I definitely noticed him back when he was in the news (and maybe it was documented here on this message board as well.)
James 06 Aug 2011, 10:22
Tinyeyes - totally know what you mean. There is a lot of cognitive dissonance when what you find attractive diverges from your brain's logic. I remember thinking Dahmer was cute after watching a documentary about him years ago, and more recently, that José Padilla (convicted terrorist) was kinda sexy.
http://www.foxnews.com/images/338619/3_63_012208_padilla3.jpg
I guess attraction doesn't conform to rules of logic.
tinyeyes 06 Aug 2011, 09:51
I never heard of Warren Jeffs, but I have to admit I think he's kind of cute. I hate it when scary criminals are attractive (with glasses). Jeffrey Dahmer even had thick glasses. I could have been his victim because I would have been super attracted to him in glasses. Frightening...
James 05 Aug 2011, 09:05
Tinyeyes - that guy certainly is strange - his voice could narrate my nightmares!
Speaking of nightmares, Warren Jeffs (the FLDS "prophet" just found guilty for sexually assaulting his 12 year old "spiritual wife") is a myope. Who knew prophets could be nearsighted!
Lots of pictures of him on Google without glasses (contacts I'm guessing, he seems like his minus is def too high to go bare eyed) but since he has been in prison, seems to be full time in glasses:

royboy, how old are you now and what did your rx end up being?
royboy 29 Jul 2011, 06:54
man! +12.25 and you don't already wear bifocals? I am surprised you were not prescribed bifocals with a much lesser plus - even at a young age. by the time I was 15 and was wearing +5.50 - I was in bifocals (with no choice).
plussy 28 Jul 2011, 21:34
Sorry its impossible to induce myopia if you lived to be a hundred, i don,t know where all this rubbish comes from. Go to any true professional optician he or she will tell you all that will happen you will get severe headaches MY RX is plus 12.25 and increasing, will soon need bifocals, to correct a roving eye.

What the heck is scriptfinders??????
Chet 28 Jul 2011, 10:53
According to Scriptfinders, Chace Crawford's prescription is OD -5.75 -1.25 x095 OS -6.00 -1.50 x 180
He normally wears gas permeable toric lenses
ksnl 28 Jul 2011, 01:54
To me it seems like those were personal pictures of Chace at home that got out somehow... I don't think he would have ordinarily allowed pictures to be taken of him in glasses (except for plano glasses in Esquire magazine), he seems quite vain.
We need to find some personal pictures of Jake at home...
tinyeyes 27 Jul 2011, 22:32
Oh also, I think Chace's rimless frames are tricky to estimate from those pics. I wish they were -8, but I'm thinking they're probably closer to -5 or -6. I think rimless frames tend to exaggerate the appearance of high power. They could be higher, though. But there is no way they're only -2 or -3.
tinyeyes 27 Jul 2011, 22:13
That's pretty amazing. I'm glad that Chace allowed pics of himself in glasses to go public! I wonder if we'll be treated to more? Now if only we could get Jake Gyllenhaal to do the same! My life won't be complete until I see him in his coke bottles!
Alan 27 Jul 2011, 12:54
Well, I'm pretty good at estimating Rxs, and believe me Chase is very myopic. I'd go with -7 or -8. Those are seriously high index lenses with a lot of cut-in and they make his eyes quite a lot smaller. Uncorrected, he couldn't read small print unless it was four inches away from his face and he'd have difficulty recognising strangers if they were more than three feet away. If those rimless specs are his main pair it must be quite a struggle to find them sometimes.
ksnl 27 Jul 2011, 11:28
I thought a bit stronger than that, maybe I am looking from a different angle... but once again, I'm no expert... any other opinions?
James 27 Jul 2011, 10:03
I don't wanna dampen the party at all, and am also no expert Rx estimator, but Chace's glasses just look incredibly low minus to me. Like -1 to -2, -3 at a push.
I could just be looking at them wrong though.
ksnl 26 Jul 2011, 15:31
I really suck at estimating rx's... on the actors thread they were saying -7/-8... if you didn't see the other threads, here's more views...

Yesterday was a beautiful day in SF with 68 degree weather and perfect blue skies. An optical obsessive dream day, too, with numerous sightings of some seriously myopic guys, one in the Castro with at least -15 lenses in very small rectangular frames. Awesome power rings and serious lens thickness.

tinyeyes 24 Jul 2011, 22:01
Dave, you're only partly right about LA. There are plenty of guys in strong glasses if you know where to look. Sure, Hollywood and the West Side may be image-obsessed, but there's also, for example, huge Asian areas like Monterey Park that are full of high myopes in glasses. (hate to bring up the stereotype but...) The great thing about cities like San Francisco is the street life and mass transit so that it's so easy to people-watch.
Also, I've seen "Strangers on a Train" -- great movie!

Dave 24 Jul 2011, 11:04
tivosante -- I'd love to take his picture just for myself but he's so shy and would probably think I'd lost my marbles. I don't think he's at all happy being totally dependent on his glasses and never thought they'd get to this level of strength since he only started wearing them in college. Within 5 years he was a high myope and now an extreme one. Even without glasses, though, he's so hot.
tinyeyes -- You're right about SF. LA is so beauty obsessed. While glasses are a fashion accessory down there they can never be construed as a medical necessity. You might see some very low minus prescriptions in some very cool frames on some very good-looking people, but rarely do you see something serious in the prescription department.
BTW, I just saw the last Harry Potter movie (a first for me) and was so annoyed to see those prescription-free glasses of his. You'd have thought they would have had some sort of script to make them appear real. Guess most people would never notice, but I sure did, and have always found it annoying that Hollywood wants the look of glasses but never the look of a real pair. (Read Matt Damon). The one serious exception was Alfred Hitchcock who insisted in his classic movie, Strangers on a Train, that one of the principal actresses wear real glasses even though she didn't need them and was effectively blind with them on. The real prescription was key when Hitchcock filmed her murder as it was seen through the strong prescription.
tinyeyes 23 Jul 2011, 20:37
Dave, I think SF is heaven for seeing guys with thick glasses, especially Asian since there are so many in the area. And yeah, I meant straight guys in general (regardless of race) who have a strong prescription are more likely than gays to wear their glasses in public. My only point about race is that high myopia does seem to be more prevalent among Asians and Asian-Americans.
tivosesante 23 Jul 2011, 11:39
hey dave, how's about a pic of your asian freind with his thick glasses, since he's not so concerned about thickness he may be more than willing to stand in front of a camera, particularly if you tell him that his glasses make him even more appealing............good luck...........
Dave 23 Jul 2011, 09:48
tinyeyes -- I'm in SF which has always had lots of Asians and many with serious scripts. I'm always on the lookout but agree with you that the Asian guys with the strongest glasses tend to be straight. Frankly, I think the same holds true for white guys. Nevertheless, you should see a couple of the Asian boys who live in my building!! There's also a very cute Eurasian I see downtown all of the time who has made his extremely thick glasses a part of his look. I'd say he's a -14 and wears frames that are a tad too large for his hefty prescription which means the edge thickness is nearly 1/2". Always a nice sighting!
tinyeyes 22 Jul 2011, 18:57
Dave -- ah I see. Not surprising at all that your friend is straight, but you can still look! Straight guys are much more likely to wear strong glasses. I do like Asians a lot, (I'm white) and one of the reasons is their prevalence of high myopia! From what I understand, double-digit prescriptions are very common in Taiwan and SIngapore as well as elsewhere in Asia. Fortunately a lot of them have been imported to the US!
Dave 22 Jul 2011, 16:43
tinyeyes -- My Asian pal is very cute and very straight. 6'1" and built. Oh, well. Normally I'm not into Asians but when I am ... His thick lenses really do the trick for me.
tinyeyes 22 Jul 2011, 07:07
Dave, your Asian friend sounds awesome! Does he wear contacts, or glasses full-time? I'm -9.5 and have been in flat fronts for a long time, since I was -8 which is what I've pretty much been since teen years.
Dave 22 Jul 2011, 04:55
I'd say closer to -15. I was at dinner with a hot Asian friend of mine tonight whose new glasses have finally gone flat-fronted and are -10/-10.5- after a big increase. He's got the 1.74 index lenses but they've still got some edge thickness and lots of power rings. I'd say the son of the mafia don has the highest index available in plastic and, yes, he is cute. Not that he's classically handsome but he does have a lot of appeal and is very manly.
James 22 Jul 2011, 03:59
I'm not the best at guessing - I just know strong when I see it! - but I'd say anywhere between -12 and -15.
Hot!

This is a video of a -10.5 guy getting his new, very thin hi-index glasses. Without being able to explain exactly why, I love the part about halfway through where the optician takes the glasses off his face, and you see his eyes go into that high myopia blankness, not even trying to focus.

JP 13 Jul 2011, 03:17
Antonio Prestieri, in this clip, is not only good-looking but (of course) has very high myopia - loads of lens thickness to conquer his frame. See video part-way down the page, at least for UK viewers.

Not sure if it's OK to bring this up-- but has anyone tried role play type stuff when having encounters with guys with glasses, particularly with strong Rx? I'm talking about stuff like playing eye doctor, hiding their glasses for fun, or?? I'm looking for ideas.
tinyeyes 28 Jun 2011, 09:39
And another -- cute young scruffy guy, in contacts and then glasses around :58 into vid. He has the big 1980s-style glasses that are now popular, apparently even with a strong Rx!
tinyeyes 28 Jun 2011, 09:32
Another cutie -- around -6 I'd guess -- takes off glasses and squints, too!
tinyeyes 28 Jun 2011, 09:22
And a cute guy with strong plus--
tinyeyes 27 Jun 2011, 23:29
I've posted this guy before, but now he has crazy red glasses, still way too big for his high minus Rx. But I'm not complaining!

These were very special glasses and the blue eyes behind them really did it for me. Oh, my father had a daughter who loved a man not too wisely, but too well, far too well and certainly for all the wrong reasons.

Cute plus guy... Just do keyword "extremehyperopia" on Flickr dot com.
jo 23 Jun 2011, 21:46
i certainly agree. he looks like he will look even better as he age, and hopefully, his myopia gets higher too (though that's a bad thought)..

Well, he's certainly improved as he got older. Turned into a very attractive man.

thanks knsl 22...I checked out micha again, they don't edit to often, but have some goodies. The last two you sent also had some goodies for me. Im beginning to think that I may have the best and largest collection on the planet, wouldn"t that be some thing. I'm a little reluctant to put them all out into cyber space for a couple of reasons.

I haven't found anything that you are wanting on tumblr... The only site I can think of is this one which has been posted before....
http://public.fotki.com/Micha/guys_wearing_strong/guys_with_strong_glasses/
I'm quite lost when it comes to tumblr too... I'm slowly figuring it out. I just search in google, for example, "guys wearing glasses tumblr" and it comes up with the tumblr sites. Ever since those Chace Crawford pics (on actors thread) were discovered on tumblr, I decided I need to figure out how it works. Here's 2 more....

Hmm, Julian Smith is really cute, but he seems to be using the glasses as a prop to make himself look goofy/dumb in the videos. I'm wondering if those glasses are even his. He looks great in them though, although I wish he wouldn't wear them crooked, cross his eyes on purpose and otherwise try to look terrible when he's wearing them. It's for comic effect but to an OO it's not that funny!

Here's another vid of the same guy. Starting about 38 seconds in, he switches to his old glasses and then later talks about how he can't see with this old pair and finds vision so much better with his new pair.
A pretty strong script either way--flat fronts, and note the edge of the lens sticking out beyond the frame by a significant amount on the new (black plastic) pair.

rather high script
tivosesante 25 May 2011, 19:24
i would love to share this encounter that i have to say was one of very best in a;; my years of lurking. This rather husky black boy, maybe in his early twenties, caught my eye as i drove by a bus stop. Spotting what i believed to be glasses about as Strong as gertz's aviator goggles, but not quite as large and more round, almost surely welfare glasses.
carefully making a u turn i pulled into a checkers parking lot and walked over to the bus stop just in time to get a closer look at his incredibly strong glasses, very thick on the sides
; and he was gone...........
hoping against...odds that he would be there tomorrow at the same time i returned and parked behind checkers, bought a shake and waited at an outside table, he showed up pretty much on time and i wasted no time in walking over and almost immediately struck up a conversation about how strong his script was. he responded in both a congenial and evasive manner. I'm good about glasses chatter and kept the conversation going, talking about contacts, eye surgery, hi index lenses, what ever just to get him to face me a bit. he seemed not to want to make any pronounced eye contact ...............
finally a bus came going east west instead of north south to where we were and he hurriedly grabbed it. i was left alone wondering if i scared him off, I can not forget the wonderful image of those huge dark tortoise shell frames with thick myodisc type lenses protruding both forward and behind the heavy frames. the inner ring was larger than most myodiscs suggesting a much more powerful script.....................
.
when i get a chance i will get a foto of him if he will allow me and I'll post it with his permission....................

Gertz is fascinating... does anyone know the story there? Too bad the other vids are gone. I don't see how he was able to get those -29 glasses made in that huge frame -- seems like something that would be very difficult to get someone to make. It looks ridiculous to me, but some of the smaller frames in the old videos were awesome, and I would be happy to be with a guy who needed them.
I'm assuming he's GOC but does anyone know?
tivosesante 21 May 2011, 15:42

Cactus Jack 12 May 2011, 12:03
Myopic Grant,
I am not 100% sure, but I think the thickness of the cornea and the underlying corneal stroma are important, in addition to the actual Rx.
In lasik, they make a corneal flap and fold it back revealing the corneal stroma. A laser is then used to ablate (vaporize) some of the tissue that makes up the stroma to reshape the stroma. The flap is then allow to return to its original position. If the stroma is not thick enough to allow successful removal of enough tissue to produce the necessary correction, other solutions must be found.
Consider the process of making a minus lens where the center thickness of the blank is ground away. The blank itself must be thick enough to allow the full Rx to be ground into the lens and retain enough center thickness to keep the lens from being very fragile. Essentially, lasik for myopia uses a laser to grind away the center of the stroma to reduce its plus power.
C.
Myopic Grant 12 May 2011, 11:18
So in regards to the ICL guy; how bad does your vision have to be in order NOT to be considered for lasik? It looks like he's around a -10, so I wonder what the cut off is. I know people who were around that range who had the procedure.
Dave 12 May 2011, 08:07
Tivo -- Like tinyeyes, I totally agree with his assessment about the ICL guy. A dreamboat! I"m sure he was around a -12 (maybe more) with super high index lenses. The e-cigarette guy is only cute because of his glasses which have to be around -8/9. How people can prattle on You Tube for minute after minute saying nothing is really tiresome.
tivosesante 12 May 2011, 04:24
tinyeyes.....the reason for quoting my mother about if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything, was to abate any chance of my being totally critcal or cynical about the entire video and how utterly insipid it was, except for the glasses of course(who's biased here?)....
tinyeyes 12 May 2011, 00:44
James & Tivo -- I like the cigarette guy too, but he's just nowhere as cute (to me) as the super handsome high myope who got ICL lenses. Thanks for finding all this!

James -- thanks for posting that ICL news report. Oh wow, that guy is so cute, especially with his glasses!! Sad that he got surgery, but at least with ICL it's reversible -- he's still a high myope, and if those contacts were surgically removed he'd be right back where he started.
James 11 May 2011, 06:23

http://www.flickr.com/photos/z_mandrews/3999509229/in/photostream (as I said, pretty....)
Can anyone estimate the Rx's? I'd say both approaching (if not well into) double digits).

Fun video and his glasses are hot, real or not!
To answer the questions from earlier--
I can't remember posting any pics with glasses that I shared here, but maybe I did. Anyway here's my latest rx, only a few weeks old actually:
OD -9.75 -0.75 x005
OS -9.75 -0 50 x025
This is for glasses, not contacts. The doctor actually also provided a .75 add (for the first time!) I asked for it, but I think he thought I was still ok without it. I'm ok in contacts for now, but getting to the point where I have to push my glasses down when reading. In recent years my distance rx has gotten about 1D worse, which surprises me going from my 30s into my 40s! My old glasses from a few years ago seem much too weak now!
I haven't had the new glasses made yet -- still deciding whether to hold off on the add. Aging is a reality!

Tinyeyes: Yes, it's true, "opposites attract" and "birds of a feather flock together" can both be valid forces, believe it or not. For example, I am bisexual (I've said here before that I was straight, but that was when I was still coming to terms with being bi, and also I am more hetero where the OO thing is concerned, I don't know why, but maybe it has something to do with that whole "strong guy with 1 weakness" thing) and find that I'm attracted to guys and girls but for different reasons. With guys there is that ever-present allure of the mystery of the unknown, while with girls there is a comfortable sense of intimate familiarity.
Dave 05 May 2011, 13:19
Tinyeyes -- I remember that you posted some pictures of yourself in glasses on Flickr (and there were many without) and you looked great in them! What's your prescription now?
Obsessed 05 May 2011, 10:27
Hey guys! Thanks for sharing your thoughts :-) It's really fascinating to read about your feelings about strong glasses and, of course, VERY strong glasses ;-)
I have been fascinated by glasses since I was in the 6th or 7th grade. A friend of mine was prescribed glasses, and his initial RX was stronger than most kids' - I think he was -2.50 or so. For someone who hadn't worn glasses before, it was a significant RX. Most kids would start at -0.5 or -0.75. I remember being endlessly fascinated by realizing that he must have seen things blurry without his glasses and then everything would come into focus whenever he'd put them on. I asked him many questions. We used to play together, and often he would not have his glasses on because he was afraid of scratching them while playing active games. I kept asking him questions about the quality of his vision. Since he was pretty much a full-time wearer at school, he soon became quite dependent on them. It was fascinating to see him start wearing his glasses while playing with kids in the yard after school (we lived in the same neighborhood). I asked him why he was now wearing his glasses all the time and almost died when I heard the answer "I can't really see well without them".
The next thing I did was simulate myopia. My mom was a medical person, so I found her college textbooks and read about myopia and other refractive errors. I managed to trick 2 doctors into believing I had myopia, but my mother figured me out, so I didn't get lucky and didn't get glasses. I was so depressed - I wanted them so badly.
At a young age, I was only attracted to myopic people. I was fascinated by my friends glasses, but I didn't feel any sexual attraction for him as a guy. Even when we were in high school. I was always into older men. Like, significantly older - usually over 40. I actually love men over 50 and 60, as well :-) I occasionally get attracted to men who are in their late 20's or early 30's, but that's not typical.
I love myopia. I do wear glasses myself now (been wearing them for 3 years and am at -2 now). I have huge frames and my lenses are low index - that gives me a chance to have some power rings even with my mild RX.
I have recently developed a crazy fetish for presbyopia. With only one restriction: there must be a distance RX and it must be plus, as well. Seeing a man over 40 (or, preferably, even over 50) with a plus distance RX and a line at the bottom of the lenses indicating an add - it just drives me nuts. I can stalk a guy like that around a store for a long time. I don't know where it came from, but there's something endlessly hot about that for me.
When in bed, I like to imagine (while having sex) how poorly my man sees things wihtout his glasses and how he's able to focus with them on his face. I absolutely LOVE the face distortions that glasses create. They are insane sexy in my opinion :)
tinyeyes 05 May 2011, 09:26
All4Eyes -- good point about how some high myopes are OOs but most aren't. I have no idea why either. I can tell you that almost all of the high myopes I have been interested in or dated had no interest in my myopia at all. The whole thing is sort of analogous to the "opposites attract" thing: most people seem to like someone very different from themselves, even when the same sex. Dark skinned with light skinned, skinny with big, etc. -- you see it all the time. But you also see the guys who are paired up who look like twins or brothers -- both muscle bunnies with blond hair, etc. But that's less common. I fall somewhere in between. I definitely am attracted to other races and body types, but I also like commonalities -- guys close to my own age (although the older I get the less true this is!) and guys who are myopic. I think this psychological stuff we all carry is pretty complicated.
James - I totally agree with you about seeing someone in glasses for the first time, when you had seen them previously in contacts. Nothing is hotter!!! I've mentioned this frequently on this site before. Sometimes it was a guy I knew, and sometimes it was someone I just saw frequently, like at the gym. Best of all it was when someone I dated suddenly appeared in strong glasses, or when I was at their house and discovered contact cases and coke bottles in the bathroom. Extremely exciting! And I totally agree about the contrast between hot masculinity and the vulnerability of powerful minus glasses. I also agree with you in that I personally am less attracted to disability.
One more thing -- yes, I am "really" myopic. I am so self-conscious about my strong prescription that I never wear my glasses in public, even though I yearn for other guys to do so! Weird, isn't it? You'd probably think that a high myope who is an OO would want to wear glasses constantly.
James 05 May 2011, 07:51
Tivo - I know what you mean! I have lost count of the number of times I;ve stalked high myopes round supermarkets and shops. The other day I got on a subway in the wrong direction because I was so entranced by this high minus, hot young guy. Luckily, I always manage to stop myself before it gets into truly creepy or even illegal territory.
Tinyeyes - makes perfect sense. Funny thing is, I always got the impression from you (may be totally wrong, not sure where I got the idea) that you were not so super in love with being a high myope yourself, that you were ambivalent about it. This is how I definitely know you are real, since I find it hard to imagine true high myopes who are just toally ecstatic, without ANY reservation, about being highly nearsighted (knowing its pitfalls and all it means in day to day life).
So for me it's very interesting that you find it hot in others, having such an intimate understanding of what it means at a practical level. For me, as i said, I love the vulnerability, and there is also a sense of the unknown for me, as a very low, even pseudo myope.
What I DO realise (from my experience of the -19 guy) is that the myopia must not be at the level of a disability. The -19 guy, while certainly not low vision, did not seem to have good acuity, e.g. struggled to find the latch to open the door etc etc. From this, it dawned on me that I am attracted to myopes who are otherwise rugged and masculine in every other way, but have this one thing - their eyesight - where they are vulnerable. So while I want them to be utterly dependent on the glasses/contacts, they must be able to see well with them. Disability is just no turn on for me (I know it is for some people, no judgement of course!)
While I'm doing rambling stream-of-consciousness anyway, here's another thing I like (sure I've mentioned it before): while I love once off sightings of thick glasses, the absolute best is when someone I know turns up one day in super-thick lenses, and all the time I have known them until that point, I had no idea they were seeing through strong contacts. It is somehow so intimate and personal, such a revelation of personal vulnerability or weakness.
All4Eyes 05 May 2011, 02:15
Tinyeyes: Sure it makes sense! I feel the same. I think there is an intimate sense of commonality between 2 myopes, especially with the need to get close to see each other clearly. But that doesn't explain why some myopes are OO and others aren't. And for ppl with perfect vision, there is an air of mystery to the world of myopes, an intriguing "other" they know they'll never fully understand. But that doesn't explain why some non-myopes are OO and others aren't.
tinyeyes 05 May 2011, 00:32
For me, the answer is also that I like being with the guy both with and without glasses. I'm most attracted to seeing them with their thick glasses on, but I have also been extremely aroused by seeing a guy grope around for his glasses, or having that blank look in his eyes that can't focus. I have had this fetish for so long, and I still don't really know why I have it. Of course, since I am a high myope myself, it obviously has something to do with that, but I still don't understand why I find it sexy. I think part of it is the intimate feeling of being close with someone without glasses and seeing each other at close range with our nearsighted eyes, and the brotherhood feeling of waking up together blind and putting on our glasses. If we both wear contacts most of the time, it's all the better -- it's our private world where we are transformed with our thick glasses, and unembarrassed and uninhibited by them since we both need them. Does that make sense?

james, i too have have had great rushes over sightings, one just recently at a local super market, almost losing all control i would lurk around this guy with what i believed to be a -18 more or less; and i would try to stand behind him where i could look thru his glasses to see what was on the other side, and sideways to catch the power rings , straight on to see the depth and width of the cut. it became a majer obsession with me the whole time i was in the store as a matter of fact i went back in again on the pretext that i had forgotten something on my shopping list, just to see him again, a very dark skinned guy, black, not bad looking....i finally got myself together and got out of there,but was quite hot for sometime....no i don't fantasize about his losing his glasses or seeing him take them off and put them back on...i do get a rush from feeling the lenses, especially thick ones....thanks for sharing about your fantasies...i could go on about other things, but don't want to take up the room here....
tivosesante 04 May 2011, 07:41
not ignoring you post james, just have to think about it awhile...meanwhile -29 is back with the wildest ever..... http://www.youtube.com/user/75gertz#p/u/3/JtrgksQX1_U
James 04 May 2011, 03:03
This fetish is so constrained to fantasy for me, I can;t even say definitively what I would do. Case in point: I recently had an, ahem, encounter with a super-high minus guy. He was -19 (born with Marfan's Syndrome), CRAZY thick glasses (not myodisc if you can believe it, but really bevelled at the edges). When it came to the crunch, i.e. fantasy intersecting with reality, I really kind of froze up and didn't know what to do. It was still a hot experience, but not because of me taking charge in any way....he ended up taking the glasses off, then later looked at a text message with one eye shut and the phone basically touching his face.
The experience made me think more deeply about this glasses obsession and what it is based on. There is certainly a vulnerability element to it - that a really masculine guy has to depend on glasses to see - but it is more than that and has elements I can't explain.
I know my fantasy would involve taking his glasses off, and then seeing his try to cope without them. The fantasy would also involve him putting them on again and having that "I can see" moment again.
But I can't say in reality whether a) I would do those things or b) they would actually be a turnon.
So basically, the most non-commital answer ever!!!! How about you guys?
tinyeyes 03 May 2011, 21:53
So I was thinking, Obsessed and James, and anyone else that cares to answer --
If you could be with this guy in the photos and do whatever you want with him (provided he was mutually consenting) would you prefer him to take his glasses off, leave them on, take them off for him... ? Just wondering.
Obsessed 03 May 2011, 17:58
But damn - he's extremely hot with a pretty extreme RX :)
Obsessed 03 May 2011, 17:57
I was wondering about the wife. I most certainly hope she's NOT dead and that she didn't make him unhappy by leaving him or anything.
James 03 May 2011, 13:41
If one were a conspiracy theorist though (which I am not), you would notice that in the more recent years, the taking off of glasses in photos stops at the same time the wife disappears (divorced? dead?) from the pictures.
Guest 03 May 2011, 13:23
He's definitely a hottie that keeps improving with age. I don't think the pictures without glasses are due to being self-conscious or his wife telling him to remove them. I think that he has had enough experiences where the glasses glared and 'ruined the picture.'
tinyeyes 03 May 2011, 08:44
I agree -- he's a cute sexy high myope, and only improving with age!
You're right about the bare-eyed photos, James. I just usually assume bare-eyed photos of super-nearsighted people are in contacts because they're so blind bare-eyed, but in this case, he seemed to pose for photos with glasses off a lot.
I think at this point, the RX is so high that he just won't do it any more. Also, he may be at the point where he looks cross-eyed or otherwise not normal without glasses. One guy I met looked perfectly normal (and extremely hot) in his -12ish glasses, but when they were off his eyes were crossing and had a very blank look.
Obsessed 03 May 2011, 08:21
I mean, what could be better than a collection of several hundred photoes with serious and smiling faces, STRONG (!!) glasses and semi-blind squinting, dressed and topless, with all parts of the body including hands and feet properly demonstrated? :)
Obsessed 03 May 2011, 08:19
Totally agree with all the statements! I think the bare-eyed pictures are actually bare-eyed and not CL. And yes - his RX seems to be stronger and he seems to be getting much hotter in general as time goes by. I think he's in the mid teens now (RX-wise, of course ;-)).
James 03 May 2011, 05:34
Another example of glasses on and then off
http://www.declium.com/threeofus/images/1999/Steve+Connie-atRodeo.jpg
James 03 May 2011, 05:31
This guy is a great find. He also seems to have "grown into" his looks and got hotter with age.
I think some of the supposed contacts photos are just him taking his glasses off though. There are lots of examples where he has them on in one photo and not in the next, and the squintiness of the eyes somewhat backs up this theory. An example:
http://www.declium.com/threeofus/images/2001/June/SC-060801.jpg
http://www.declium.com/threeofus/images/2001/June/SC3-060801.jpg
(I'm not implying he NEVER wears contacts though in the older pics)
Wonder if was self-conscious about the glasses or if the wife was telling him to take them off? Either way, he is certainly comfortable with them now, and that's a good thing, as he'd be blind without them (as he would've been then anyway!).
Definitely agree that the Rx seems to have increased over the past ten years though.

Thanks, Obsessed. He's cute... I looked at the older albums and saw some photos where we wears contacts. Also in the older photos (2001 for instance) his RX seems to have been somewhat weaker. I would guess he's up to -11 or -12 now. Nice!

Difficult to say for sure, but you might want to:
- run a virus scan
- change your Vonage password (using the regular Vonage site, not the one you get from Flickr)
After that you could try restarting your computer and see if the redirect is still happening.
In general, you should be wary of login pages that appear when you don't expect them.
Feel free to post again to the "Site Feedback and News" thread if you think I might be of further assistance.

Wow that's weird. I was going thru the pics on that Flickr page, when suddenly a page from Vonage comes up instead asking for my Vonage Username and Password and when I put them in it said they were incorrect, even though I could sign in to my Vonage account with them. Now even when I just go to Flickr homepage it takes me to the Vonage page. All other sites seem OK. Sorry to be off-topic, but does anyone know what's going on here?

I cannot believe how many exciting new websites are now online for men in glasses, boys in glasses, etc. Tumblr websites are particularly good, and I see that others of you have posted links. As you probably know, in a Google search box, you can just input "tumblr" and "glasses" and "boys" OR "men"--and about a half dozen tumblr glasses websites come up. (And the tumblr websites that are NOT exclusively devoted to glasses-wearing men and boys also incidentally have photos of many cuties.) Has everyone seen the photos of "T.R. Knight's glasses wearing friend"? I think he is absolutely gorgeous--to die for! (And I usually go for the skinner types!

Last post (for today at least!). The same site also has a before and after page (almost designed for OO's like me). HEre are some highlights:
(-15 Rx)
(yes, you guessed it, -16)
(not surprisingly, another -16, seems to be their niche)
(this guy's a paltry -12)
James 08 Mar 2011, 10:50
Here is yet another -16 guy on the same site (again, why are more of these -16 guys not in my life, or at least my VIEW?).
For me, easy as it is to speak as a non high-myope, this takes cosmetics to the point of ridiculousness. In the quest for thinner lenses, they have given him a frame that is RIDICULOUSLY too narrow for his face - how is that cosmetically appealing, especially when viewed front-on?
Also, at a mroe technical level, surely such tiny lenses would give acuity that is like tunnel vision at best? Wouldn't a slightly larger (not talking anything crazy and retro here) frame give a better visual result?
James 08 Mar 2011, 10:41
Here is a site advertising its credentials at making thin glasses for extreme prescriptions.
Here are my favourites:
http://www.visionsofcanada.com/eyeglass_lenses/featured_clients/fc_list2.asp?FC=100000015
(-16 in one eye)
http://www.visionsofcanada.com/eyeglass_lenses/featured_clients/fc_list2.asp?FC=100000003
(-12.5 in worse eye)
http://www.visionsofcanada.com/eyeglass_lenses/featured_clients/fc_list2.asp?FC=100000009
(another -16 - why do I not see more of all these -16's in the street?)
http://www.visionsofcanada.com/eyeglass_lenses/featured_clients/fc_list2.asp?FC=100000023
(-11.75)
Except for the last one, which I truly WAS surprised was a -11.75, with the others, while the opticians have achieved technical "thinness" in the glasses, it is still very clear, even to a non-OO I believe, that these are abnormally high Rx's.
tivosesante 08 Mar 2011, 07:20
it appears that he has a high script and the profile reveals a really thick lense, but modern technoligy has wiped out that exciting effect that shining light had on power rings in older lenses i guess mostly in the cr39 catagory and also even in the glass lenses although they never appeared as thick.

Nice sighting this morning. I went to a gym that I don't go to normally, one that is frequented by downtown business types. Plenty of very good looking men! Including one young accountant/auditor (his T-shirt with company logo gave it away), with a great body, brown hair, scruffy 5-o'clock shadow, and wearing dark-rim glasses around -6. Very nice.... I am pretty sure he is used to wearing contacts mostly, because it was early in the morning, and he kept adjusting his glasses like he wasn't comfortable with them. Even better, then he took them off and looked very close to see a speck on them. Ahh, such a turn-on. I could have kept checking him out for a long time, but I had to go.
Chrissi 06 Feb 2011, 21:24
Hi, Cactus Jack! Sorry about missing your first post in response to my friend's situation. I mustve clicked post and then typed while your post came onthe thread.
Thanks for the advice about the rx estimations. I will probably just end up waiting for him to get the exam. Naturally, he'll tell me how it went, and then I'll probably ask him if he knows what the rx is. I'm still reluctant to wear my glasses. Part of this is because my glasses are a couple years old. I only use them around the house. I am going to get new glasses soon, hopefully. As for contacts, I'll probably wait since paying for glasses and contacts as well as an expensive school trip will be too much.
The thing about this situation with my friend is that he has never shown any signs of needing glasses at all. I have never seen him squint, and he has never mentioned it. However, I suppose that's not too out of the ordinary. He couldve just kept to himself until the right time, I suppose. I'll see him tomorrow, so maybe we'll talk more about it then. I'll be sure to post
if there is anything worthy to be posted!
Cactus Jack 06 Feb 2011, 20:52
Chrissi,
Please forgive the punctuation blunders.
C.
Cactus Jack 06 Feb 2011, 20:49
Chrissi,
You are right. Your friend would probably just see blurry blobs with your glasses. It is unlikely that he could function this long without correction with an Rx anywhere near -13.
My suggestion is that you first show him your glasses and explain that they are very strong. You normally wear contact lenses, but keep the glasses around just in case something happens to the contacts. Because you have difficulty in unfamiliar environments without contacts or glasses.
Depending on his reaction to that, you might offer to try on your glasses over your contacts so he can see what your glasses look like. Explain that with double correction, you cannot see very well at all. If, after that. he wants to try them on, alert him that even though he probably needs glasses, it is not likely that he will need glasses anywhere near this strong. What he will see is pretty close to what you see when you are wearing double correction.
His reaction to all this is a good way to judge his character and perhaps decide if he is a "keeper".
C.
Chrissi 06 Feb 2011, 20:00
Soundmanpt: we'll see how it goes. He mentioned a visit to the clinic his mother and brother go to, which is not the same place I get my contacts from. If he gets glasses though, I will certainly post about them!
Original Tony: I don't think he'd be able to see anything with my glasses on! My prescription is around -13....
He actually wanted me to wear my glasses to school tomorrow instead of contacts. I am extremely averse to this idea due to the strength of my glasses and the fact that I have not worn glasses in public for the past four years!
Cactus Jack 06 Feb 2011, 19:58
Chrissi,
I am sure you have posted it, but I cannot recall your Rx. If your friend is curious about what his Rx is before the exam, you might suggest the procedure I described on the Post Your Prescription thread in two related posts.
Post 1 at 30 Jan 2011 20:52
Post 2 at 1 Feb 2011 05:39
I suspect he is myopic, particularly if he does not have problems reading at typical distances, but he could have some astigmatism also. If he does the test, please let us know the calculated results and then the actual exam results if possible.
The reason I asked about your Rx is that if there is a big difference between what he needs and your Rx his first reaction might be that they are not much better than no glasses.
C.
Original Tony 06 Feb 2011, 19:23

When you next see hime take your glasses along and ask him to try them on. Be intesting to know what he sees.
Soundmanpt 06 Feb 2011, 13:55
Chrissi
I would say it is pretty certain that your guy friend will need glasses and I would say from what he described that he will be wearing them quite a bit within a short period of time. Maybe you should mention having him go with you when you go for your contacts. I assume you are meaning your yearly checkup that you have to have to get your next supply of lenses? When he goes be sure to come over to the "Post Your Prescription" thread with the details. Are you anticipating any changes in your contacts?
Chrissi 06 Feb 2011, 00:22
A good male friend of mine brought up his vision in a conversation I was havng with one of my female friends. I talked about how I need new contacts, and the girl mentioned needing new glasses. My guy friend contributed, saying that his mom asked him if he could read these words on the tv, and he couldn't even tell that they were there. His mother let him borrow her glasses (her glasses for distance, he said) and he said that he could tell that there were words onthe screen, but still couldn't read them. Personally, I was a little surprised at this news because I'd never noticed him having any vision issues. He is going to an optometrist soon, but I do not know when. I wonder if he'll have to get glasses.
I told him that if he needs them, then he should get black plastic ones! Haha
He said that he almost wants his eyes to be bad because then he'll look smarter. I don't think that he has a fetish. He probably just wants them as an accessory. oh well.
Well, anyway! I hope he gets them! I am almost a little bit excited...

tinyeyes 31 Jan 2011, 23:04
It's hard to say if there are any particular behaviors with glasses that I enjoy, but I do sometimes see guys with that "day off from contacts" look -- it's hard to say how I can tell, but sometimes I just can. Yesterday there was a guy at the gym with that look. He was wearing a ski cap with the glasses, which were around -5, and he had a lot of tattoos. Somehow the look just didn't quite jive with the nerdy glasses, but of course they looked great on him. Sometimes guys (especially with lovely higher minus prescriptions) appear to be peering through their glasses and testing how far they can see. It's obvious they don't seem to be used to wearing them, and maybe they're getting used to the distortion and the small image size of their strong RX. Meanwhile I'm enjoying their "tiny eyes"!
James 31 Jan 2011, 13:00
Saw three of my favourite glasses related "behaviours" (I suppose that's what you would call them) today, all of them at various times on the Tube (subway).
1) high myope (at least -10, very inappropriately square wire rim frames, not in a hi-index material, I'd say clearly a day off from contacts, hipstery 30's-ish guy with long hair and a cap) lifted the glasses with thumb and index finger, eyes closed, squeezing bridge of nose for prolonged period.
2) another high myope (I'd say at least a -8, quite large aviator inspired frames, not worn with any retro sensibility, he was just an older guy, probably late 40's), was reading while walking. And by reading, I mean he tilted his head at angle so as to look over the frames, holding the page literally about 2 inches from his face - this behaviour is not to be confused with pushing the glasses down one's nose to read with your head at a normal angle. That wouldn't have worked for a guy with this level of myopia, hence his convoluted head-tilting and holding of reading matter ridiculously close. Bifocals anyone?
3) Yet a third high myope (it was really a day for sightings - when it rains it pours as they say - this almost guarantees the rest of the week will be serious myope free), I'd guess also about -10, this one with sensible high index lenses in a very small wire rim frame. He repeatedly pushed the glasses closer to his eyes to read the next station (displayed in a ticker tape style). Even when not pushing them closer (they were already very close, it wasn't a case of them sliding down or anything), the temples were at an upward tilting angle, indicating this guy definitely needed a bump in his Rx.
Any of these things individually is a treat. Three on the same day is almost too many to properly digest and appreciate. There were many myopes today, some high as well, but these are the three that stayed with me.
Does anyone else have anything in particular they enjoy seeing myopes (or indeed, hyperopes) do with their glasses?

James, I couldn't agree more! Nothing is more exciting than when the high myopia "secret" is revealed! Wearing powerful glasses full time is hot, but wearing them only "at night" "because my prescription is so strong" is much more exciting to me. Especially if I'm the lucky one getting to enjoy the intimacy of being one of the only people who gets to see the guy in his usually hidden coke-bottles.
James 26 Jan 2011, 04:43
Tinyeyes - it is! Because it's a personal and major thing about the person that you have found out.....I find it almost more tantalising when the high myopes alternate between contacts and glasses. It makes the glasses sightings that much more special. And if they are a little uncomfortable in the glasses, so much the better!
tinyeyes 26 Jan 2011, 01:12
Wonderful story, James.... how nice that you were able to verify the RX! Isn't it just like striking gold when you discover someone has been wearing strong contact lenses all along? Nice...
James 25 Jan 2011, 13:23
Great sighting at my new(ish) job today.
One of my new colleagues, who shared my office for the day, showed up in glasses today. I'd never seen him in glasses the few times we'd met before, and in fact had no inkling, that sixth sense one sometimes has, triggered by the way someone blinks or even something undefinable, that he was a contact lens wearer.
Anyway, he is a scientist and what I would categorise as sexy nerd/geek....probably early thirties, maybe even late twenties, but with steely, completely grey hair, all thick and tousled and sexy, a completely ripped but effortless body that he is probably not even aware of.
The glasses were semi-rimless, i.e. rim at the top, rimless at the bottom, where part of the edge thickness (unless I am wrong) is attributable to the frame itself, i.e. over and above the Rx itself, so the glasses looked quite substantial. I also noticed he peered at the screen, leaning in quite close. This may just be a myope trait generally, or indicative that a stronger Rx is needed. Either way - it was sexy.
Shortly before he left (he doesn't live in London and was just in the London office for the day), he went to the bathroom, and when he returned to say goodbye, was in contacts. I am sure he had his reasons, but putting in the lenses at the end of the day strikes me as odd. Perhaps a sign he has never really got comfortable in glasses, never got over that first awkward phase, at whatever age, and if this is true, I can relate and do not judge him.
Anyway, seizing this perfect opportunity for investigation, I went to the bathroom and found his disposed of contact lens packets - one eye -5, the other -6.5. That is an Rx that I would scoff at on paper (give me the high myopes please, universe!), but it is not insubstantial in the non-OO world (certainly precludes you from part time wear), and with his particular frame, looked quite impressive. In any event, it was a lovely sight to behold all day.

LONG live SHORT shorts and big, THICK glasses!
tinyeyes 19 Jan 2011, 01:11
Big glasses are making a comeback, most definitely, with the young/hipster crowd. I've seen a few guys with large frames and surprisingly strong prescriptions! As with everything in fashion, when the people are young enough that they don't remember something, it's new again and the cycle begins again. I thought those huge frames would never come back, but here they are! Also, boat shoes from the 80s, and coming soon, short shorts!
Jennifer 18 Jan 2011, 11:39
Was at Starbuck's yesterday. Saw a guy there wearing aviator glasses, like those worn in the 70's. He was probably in his mid 20s. I was surprised to see a younger guy wearing the silver frames. The glasses looked huge on him, but the minus prescription was not very strong. He wasn't all that cute to look at, but his glasses did catch my attention. Just wondering if these frames are making a comeback?
tinyeyes 16 Jan 2011, 12:25
No link to share here, but I had many good sightings in the last couple of days. First, a very good-looking, almost model-handsome guy, around 30, at the gym, with a great body, smooth skin, scruffy brown hair, baseball cap, and plastic-frame glasses around -6.00. At a very straight gym and he looked straight. Then, at the home improvement store, a nerdy looking skinny white guy, mid-30s maybe, kind of a younger Jeff Goldblum look, with retro plastic frames and deep cut-in, around -8.00 to -10.00. Nice!
Then, attended a gay party with a mostly Asian crowd....not a great-looking crowd, but many in glasses. There were at least half a dozen guys in glasses ranging from -6.00 to -10.00 I would guess. Including a Chinese couple who both wore strongish glasses -- one of them cleaned his glasses and then took his boyfriend's and cleaned his too.

Found an intriguing poll question on Manhunt.
"If a guy is wearing glasses in his main picture on Manhunt, are you more likely to click through and check out the rest of his profile?"
Sadly, the voting is already closed but the results bode well. And there are some very nice photos of a bespectacled hunk, Zack, accompanying the piece. Definitely NSFW but if don't mind porn, you can keep clicking through to the original site for more shots and video.

I am a bit stumped on his Rx....in some pictures it does not look all that substantial (in the -5 range) but then in others, the left eye in particular looks high minus.
Anyone have any thoughts?
James 03 Jan 2011, 13:46
This is David Carey, the new CEO of Hearst (the media conglomerate). I like that he chooses bold unapologetic frames, and from a google search, never seems to wear contacts. There is even a slight squint/laziness detectable in some photos (this might preclude contacts?).

James -- I waste too much time on sites like adam4adam, grindr., etc.
I just ask guys if they have glasses and go from there. Chatting back and forth with that particular guy, he told me seldom wore glasses and didn't have a picture with them because they made his eyes look very small. Little did I know he was -13D! He actually took a picture and sent it to me before we met up.

I agree with tivosesente, and I feel that this chap is either from somewhere in the Ozarks, or in the general area. While you don't get a good view of him in the video, he has a much better picture for his profile now, and that is certainly a serious prescription in those myodiscs.

eyescene 24 Nov 2010, 00:25
OK, well I guess he must be an "OO" himself, or he wouldn't bother with doing the GOC videos! I agree that he sure is hot in those glasses, and here's hoping the RX is real, but you're probably right.
All4Eyes 23 Nov 2010, 23:22
Yeah, the smoking guy and his glasses are hot (and probably not his real rx, or if it is he is clearly deliberately "playing to the OOs"). He seems to be making an appeal to the smoking fetish community too I'd say, though I'm not into that myself and don't know too much about it. Not that I mind it really, but the way he smokes without holding the cigarette makes me a wee bit nervous, what if it falls out of his mouth and sets the floor on fire?!
I ALWAYS make passes at guys who wear glasses (even if they're prolly GOC and have slightly scary smoking habits), Marie 8-)
James 23 Nov 2010, 13:34
Tinyeyes - I was. This is the same guy from a couple of years ago. On his flickr page, his Rx seemed to have doubled in the space of a few months.
When someone here commented on some of the signs the glasses weren't his real prescription, a new video would be uploaded the next day "correcting" whatever the mistake had been, usually the next day. When somebody noted this, the videos were promptly deleted.
Also, he just does too many OO-bait things, things real life high myopes (unfortunately) don't do, for the Rx to be real.
That said, he and his glasses are super hot!!!!
tinyeyes 23 Nov 2010, 08:41
I thought he was suggesting that the previous "smoking" guy was doing GOC. Maybe I misunderstood.
Julian 23 Nov 2010, 05:04
tinyeyes - James did say 'NOT doing GOC'. Perhaps you're due for bifocals ::)

thanks, obsessed....what i have been doing is posting them on picasa web albums, which is a free download photo shop type program and from there they become as you say accesible to the internet, i guess i ought to be satisfied with this and leave it at that.......

Obsessed 23 Oct 2010, 17:56
Well, giving us a path to a directory on your LOCAL computer definitely won't help ;)
You have to put the pictures somewhere on the web to make them visible.
One thing you can do it pay for web hosting and upload the images into your own folders.

Thanks Rocker7 for both of those photos. If either of them is a medium prescription, I'd love that Rx for myself!
tivosesante: Those times when I see lots of high prescriptions leave me longing! But do you really think there are many goc'ers out there? I agree that a prescription so high it makes even hi index look powerful is great.... an extra intensity.
tivosesante 09 Oct 2010, 16:13
i would say -10 to -11 on the one and -8 on the other....really hard to tell with hi index lenses which i tend to despise unless the prescription is so high that it makes even hi index look powerful and i have seen a lot of those lately for some strange reason.....i suspect some of them are goc'ers

Obsessed 29 Sep 2010, 13:22
That is so true!
I've known people who can see perfect through their -15 coke bottles and others who have problems focusing through -6 glasses.
Contacts and intraocular lenses seem to do a much better job overall. Unfortunately, even with RX as low as -6 some people already prefer contacts because they give them better vision.
Overall, my motto is: vision comes first. If someone can see clearly in their thick glasses, I love that. However, if they cannot do glasses, I will genuinely be happy for them because vision is irreplacible.
James 29 Sep 2010, 11:07
@ Obsessed - I hear what you're saying. What I meant was, I was unaware that there could be such divergent results with glasses and contacts (as the ICL is essentially an implanted contact lens) i.e. that you could be legally blind with one but 20/20 with the other. Thought differences were more slight (with contacts obviously giving better acuity at higher RX's). Live and learn, I guess.
Obsessed 29 Sep 2010, 09:39
@James:
some people cannot be corrected close to 20/20 with glasses because of their phisiology.
if the intraocular lens is the person's only chance to see well, then it must be used.
I love thick glasses myself (that's why I'm here), but I don't think anyone should ever be denied good vision without them if they make such a decision.

since people have been sharing sightings i would like to share this one which was a little over an hour ago at a flea market in florida. one which i frequent and often see at least one or two myopics per visit...this one i had spotted a couple of weeks ago and this time he was in the shade of one of the indoor sales areas where there was no glare and i was able to get up fairly close, say three feet ...i would say he is latino probably mexican, about 14 to 17 yrs. of age good looking and with coke bottle lenses tinted in lime or say coke bottle green.... at least 1/2 in. thick at the outer edges and myodisc....with black frames wide lenses very deep cut and powerful silverish power rings.....i would say he is no less than -24 d and very obviously his glasses are what you commonly find among teenagers in style as well as being high index, but being so thick and strong they come off much like -17d's in the old cr-39 ers.....definitely the best and strongest glasses i have seen in years, i hope to get to know him sometime soon and do some foto work....meanwhile i am assimulating something of an image to give eveyone an idea what it was like and i'll post in about an hour on my picassa web album which is open to the public.....

I know how you feel... I have literally had my heart pounding and felt short of breath at sightings like that, when there was a combination of high or very high prescription and attractive guy.... Too bad you couldn't get a picture!
James 24 Sep 2010, 15:26
AMAZING sighting today in the queue to get coffee. Tall (must have been at least 6"3), skinny, handsome guy with at least -14 (honestly, I am very conservative with my estimations, he could have been -17 for all I know - in any event, a CRAZY prescription)....wearing skinny pants, tight white shirt and one of those skinny ties that seem now to be in fashion. Lots of gel in his (thinning) hair, styled in a messed up "bedhead" style....so much gel in fact, it was the smell of it that made me turn around and see him looming over me.
As seems to be de rigeur among the super-myope set these days, frames were wide plastic (but narrow top to bottom) rectangular frames,wide-ish temples, a pale blue in colour. Of course, confronted with this image, it literally takes my breath away, I felt almost winded.....obviously I tried to contrive many reasons to turn around and not seem like a TOTAL creep, but pretty sure I came off creepy (oh well! it was worth it). What made it harder to take a look was that he was looking dead ahead, i.e. at me every time I turned around. He clearly has a fast metabolism, as he got two sausage rolls and two doughnuts. I almost followed him down the street, but checked this possibility as beyond the realm of acceptable.
Cut-in was otherworldly in how extreme it was....you could have seen the whole planet behind him through those lenses, power rings for days.....
Sad thing (from a reality point of view) is, from his dress and demeanour, he could definitely have been gay (a RARITY for someone wearing thick glasses....maybe it was a day off from contacts?). I just go blank in these situations, my mind is an abyss, and the only sentence I could probably construct is I LOVE YOU, which of course is wholly unacceptable in polite society.
I had a frog in my throat as I ordered my coffee.

Resolution not sufficient. Can't tell.
But the fact that one can't tell right away means that even if there is an RX in those specs, it's quite low.

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).

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.

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.
eyescene 10 Aug 2010, 20:54
OK, here is a guy about to get lasik, actually wearing his glasses!
And he's cute and the RX is medium minus...

dave 09 Aug 2010, 11:57
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.

I would have loved to see Aaron Luna in glasses as well. Of course, with his .240 career minor-league average, he should have just skipped the Lasix and become an umpire. Even sans glasses he could see better than 105% of those already in the big leagues.

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 definetely agree with Yasmin, this is an amazing place to share and enjoy this unique fetish. I truly thought I was the only one who felt aroused by glasses.
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.

Dave 07 Jun 2010, 07:46
Tinyeyes -- You might have got a few years older but certainly you're getting better! No kidding. The first photo's the best since it isn't dark and your glasses are really hot. You should wear them more often.
tinyeyes 06 Jun 2010, 16:08

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.

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.

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.

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?

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...

Jonnie4eyes 12 Jan 2010, 10:59
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.

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.

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.
ObsessedWithSpecs 22 Aug 2009, 19:34
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!

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.

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.
Anyway, here are my favourite pics:

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?
tinyeyes 14 Apr 2009, 21:05
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.

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.
tinyeyes 28 Mar 2009, 06:11
I had never seen it on TV, but it was sent to me by a friend.
guest 27 Mar 2009, 11:17
Thanks Tiny Eyes for that Folger's link. Recently I have seen a short version (about 15 seconds) of that commercial on TV. I googled it but was unsuccessful because I entered 2009 thinking it was a new commercial. Thanks again for giving us that myopic cutie.

hey, TINY EYES how about joining this conversation, ciao
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!!
jo 18 Mar 2009, 19:32
hi.. it's so rare i see someone from singapore... i'm from singapore too, practise GOC and gay... any chance of chatting more? email me at iwannabemyopic@gmail.com:)
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.

He wears -1.75 (he told me), he appeared at my door all bespectacled and came in, we drank some wine in a small room and all the time he kept his glasses on. He must love them because he couldn't have needed them. It was great! (I could tell they weren't thin lenses too).

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.
Micha 03 Feb 2009, 00:43

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.
http://jackmyers.daylife.com/photo/0e24d4I9SO0El?q=Social+Democratic+Party
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

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

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!

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!)
highminusdude 28 Jan 2009, 10:03
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

Phil 28 Jan 2009, 03:22
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.
Richard 28 Jan 2009, 02:33
VFL
You might have lived even more happily ever after?
Katy 28 Jan 2009, 02:24
Jennifer - he sounds gorgeous!
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

20 Jan 2009, 16:32

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
There certainly are emphatically 'straight' men who adore women wearing minus 10. Me especially :) Pete

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.

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.

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.

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!

Julian 24 Oct 2008, 00:54
I guess Wurm was able to see that the posts came from someone else's address. I generally take posts at their face value, but even I thought Matt's style was remarkably adult for a high school freshman.

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:

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.

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....

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?

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.
guest555 16 Jul 2008, 09:05
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...

Yes, I thought the young guy with the accent (British?), glasses, and braces was adorable. I agree with 555 that the combination of glasses and braces is just wonderful! 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?
guest555 15 Jul 2008, 13:40
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.)

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

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.

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?

Craig is still posting videos in his glasses occasionally:

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.

-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!

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.

VFL: Yesterday I was having lunch at a pizza parlor and watched a very good-looking guy wear his prescription sunglasses throughout lunch
