Firstly, I am a contact person (based on convenience). I lift and play sports often and for my summer job I'm always moving about so glasses are burdensome. However, I had my first bout with eye irritation this weekend since wearing contacts (about five years). Therefore I am forced to wear my glasses for a week or two. My current specs are old and bent and I have an appointment tomorrow to get new ones. So I've been trying to look around and I'm curious as to which style OTers wear. I'm thinking of some type of "horn-rimmed" glasses such as these:  What say you, OT? Which glasses do you wear? Brow-liners? Invisible frames? Aviator style?

kinda embarressed to say i don't know the exact term.

It's just a thin metal frame is all, with plastic ends that go over my ears.

I don't wear contacts, i tried it. I hate stuff that close to my eye. They're uncomfortable and it makes me really nervous knowing something is lying on my eyes. Just really really bugs me. So i just stick with glasses.

I have a pair of thin horn rimmed glasses... and I have a thick pair, but they don't suit my face.

That seems to be my dilemma right now. I think I'd rather have thin than thick, but I'll just have to see which I think look better once they're actually on my face.

I know. I've been wanting your glasses for a while so I took a photo of them when you were asleep last night.

kinda embarressed to say i don't know the exact term.

Sounds like what I have right now. The frame is so thin around the lenses that it's practically invisible.

Those look a bit bold for me to try. I like the shape of them but I don't think they'd look right on my face. I wish I could pull those off though. The color is pretty slick.

You might as well have because those are actually the frames I have.

...not sure how you put them in such a white background, though.

I rarely wear them, but they're whatever you call the ones that are a really thin metal frame (like said above).

I like the shape of the lenses. They're pretty similar to what I have now save for the lens shape, but if I can't pull off the horn-rimmed glasses, I might look into the rectangle lenses like that.

I have thin semi-rimless frames. I thought they fit my face and even looked pretty good though I hate the fact that I need them (I've only had a prescription for a couple years), but all in all glasses suck. :)

I prefer thick over thin. I had thin glasses and they just didn't look good with me at all.

Mine are a cheap pair from Specsavers. I need to wear them all the time as I'm very shortsighted.

Those look a lot like mine, except that mine are gun-metal blue.

I used to wear contacts, until doctors discovered that my retinas are extremely fragile after a minor incident left me legally blind in one eye. Since I can't see anything roughly a foot beyond arm's length without them, I need glasses that very light-weight, so the combination of small frames and polycarbonate lenses help a lot.
