I see this is an old post, but since I just bought my own new glasses, it caught my eye for the first time.<br/><br/>I have to say that I rebelled against my optomitrist from 5th grade through high school. Tried contacts but hated the maintenance. In college, I needed to start wearing my glasses more often, and now, I only take them off to shower and sleep! I love wearing them. I love picking out new frames every year. They've become a fun accessory and a part of my face. I actually think I look BETTER with them on. (So does my 3-year-old who looks at me funny when they're off!)<br/><br/>Anyway, great article. I just love your writing. Hey Annie!

I'm totally with you! I've worn glasses since I was 11 (I'm almost 24 now) and felt ugly most of the time...until last year. I got my first pair of contacts! I cried when I put them in...I wasn't ugly anymore! Of course, I'd never been 'ugly'...it was all inside. God had to show me that. =) Praise the Lord for all He has and continues to teach me! I still wear my glasses almost all of the time, but my new frames are really 'me'. ;-) Wow, Annie. I’m totally with you!

And I wear glasses, as well...I really want to get new ones, but need to wait a bit longer...It's amazing how we look can affect our spirit... I’ve been strugging with “feeling ugly”, too!

I have shocking eyesight and was shattered at 16 to pick out a nice pair and have the lenses turn out thick as coke bottle bottoms. I would NOT be seen wearing them in public. Fast forward a few years and my Christian optometrist-friend 'designed' me a new pair...there are few times I have been more grateful. :) The only people that say "If you've seen one pair of glasses, you've seen them all..." are those that don't wear glasses. :D Believe me, do I understand this!!! :) I’m a dedicated contact-lens-wearer.
