Poll: Glasses thread

[Vicarious Reality]

I am pretty damn myopic
I recently switched from the little special cleaning cloth which you usually get in the case of your glasses to a big furry green towel, seems to work just as well
I got these round glasses because i found my old narrow square ones were pretty terrible, i never need to watch things above them like i imagine they were designed so narrow for.

Post your glasses or whatever

What's with the knife & bullet?? Though, I'm more curious about the ring on the number pad...

Anyway,

Spoiler: these are what I wear

with transition lenses...

And I'm not that concerned about what I clean them with... provided it doesn't leave a mark (that includes wipemarks)... so actually I am a little OC about their cleanliness... I usually use the little cloth that came with the specs.

Just imagine the most basic of the basic glasses. Those would be mine.
They were £20, but I had £20 student discount, so I paid nothing for them. They do their job. I've never saw much purpose in buying branded bits of metal and glass.

As for the cloth it's the standard micro-fibre given out with the glasses. They do their job too, never needed to change it.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I own two different glasses (same lens on each of them) since they were on two for one offer-

Spoiler: Dorey

I wear this one the most as I like the colour and it look good on me despite my brother think I should wear something more trendy with bigger temple (the arms),

Spoiler: Hi Tec 43

I own a black version of this one. I refer this one as my geeky glasses as I look quite nerdish wearing it so I only wear this one when I'm indoor.

Anyway I pretty much used the cloth that came with the cases to clean them. I have been meaning to find some alternative cleaning tool as I find it hard to clean inside of the arm pad that hold the nose pad (the part that sit at the top of your nose). Seriously are bit of green bacteria forming on the inside.

I use whatever is to hand usually. But I voted shirt because thats what I use mostly.

Though recently I keep forgetting I wear glasses when taking stuff out of the oven and -instant steam-clean!

I used to only use my special cloth and then I lost it. Then I got lazy.

 

[Azaradel]

I normally use a tissue or something of the kind.
Or my shirt. That works fine too.http://www.onlineopticalshop.co.uk/adminpanel/uploaded/images/large/del25.jpg

 

[sextus the crazy]

I lick mine and then use my arm to dry them.

 

[GodofDisaster]

I used to wear mine for computer and tv/game playing only. Now my eyesight has gotten to the point where I have to wear them everyday, otherwise I can't see shit. For cleaning I just use the cleaning cloth that comes with them or my shirt if I don't have the cloth with me.

My glasses look like this pair, except in my case there is no red in them.

 

[Spoonius]

Why do I get the feeling the glasses were an excuse to show off everything else? That pic looks carefully cropped...

 

[Goofguy]

I use a combination of several of the poll options. The majority of the time, it's the t-shirt I'm wearing at that moment. Other times, it'll be the cleaning cloth when on hand. And about every week or two, I clean them thoroughly with some lukewarm water and a bit of soap.

 

[Powereaver]

I use my shirt since its always to hand when i need it.. but if i want to be serious i put it under running water and give them a proper wash... i cant find the glasses case that came with my pair of glasses anymore so therefore cant find the cloth. My glasses are fairly fashionable since they come with red and purple rims so thats pretty cool, altho they need fixing.. a nose guard game off... so yea need to get off my lazy ass and take it to a special guy to fix it.

The whole thing is called a cartridge, whereas the bullet is the dark part that comes out of the barrel and hits the target. Not chewing you out or anything, just a heads-up.

OT: I don't use any cleaning liquid besides water, but I'll go ahead and vote cloth in the case because I use it when I can.

' ... riiiiiiiiight...

And now you're going to tell me bullets are loaded from the breach, needles are in and someone's invented the box magazine... *nods skeptically*

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I used to use the little cloth that came with my glasses, but my dog took care of that.

So I just use the towel that I use to dry dishes, not very efficient sometimes when the cloth is a little dirty, but it gets the job done.

I've used my shirt a couple of times if I'm out and about.

 

[Vie]

I tend to use my shirt, though if the propper glasses cleaning cloth is around I'll use that.

Generally though I get the same results with a soft cotton t-shirt as I'd get with the proper cloth.

 

[Nouw]

I wear clear, thick-rimmed glasses and use various cloths to clean it. I wish I had them fancy sprays >.>.

 

[alj]

i use LCD cleaner and a microfibre cloth you can get a pack of both for like £1

Also what keyboard is that ? Looks like an early mac keybord.

The knife is a Kanetsune Yama
The ring is my tungsten ring

Siemens Nixdorf keyboard for windows

Carefully cropped? Like cut off with an editing program?

It was what was on my desk at the time, i should have put the glasses more in the middle, i agree

So if asked you to pass me a bullet, you'd knock the tip off the cartridge and hand it to me? Or shoot me?

Well, I'll just say that I used to take the same line, but (assuming you're a teenager, which seems to be the biggest demographic on the boards) NHS glasses aren't especially flattering, especially the most basic ones, and you might want to get something more flattering to the shape of your face, or half-rimmed or heavily rimmed frames depending on the level of definition you want from your glasses.

Or you can evade the entire problem with contact lenses and only wearing your unflattering glasses as the exception to the rule.

Just saying; whilst people do indulge in outre design decisions, there are also relatively conservative choices which can redefine the way you look in a subtle way and emphasise the positive elements of your facial structure.

Whereas you may get a bit of stick for looking like a late-eighties John Major.

I don't mean to sound condescendin, just bringing up some stuff I had to deal with. 0_0
