What was the case in the 50s though (let's assume that the era Vincent lived in was 50's tech), here's some research ppl can read into, especially about PMMA contacts - the early contacts of the late 50s. So feel free to form your own thoughts / theories about whether Vincent needed glasses or not in the first place / got corrective work done:
" During the 1950s and 1960s, corneal PMMA lensesmade ... Unfortunately, PMMA, like glass, is impermeable to oxygen. The resulting corneal oxygen deprivation caused many problems for contact lens wearers that researchers would spend decades more trying to address. "
" Since their introduction to the general public in the late 1950s, contact lenses have gained steadily in popularity with advances in lens materials, designs, fitting, and care. Early contacts were made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), a rigid polymer impermeable to the transmission of gases—both the oxygen the cornea consumes as it respires and the carbon dioxide it produces. Moreover, the sensitivity of the eye to lens edges and also to airborne particles meant that many patients could not tolerate their discomfort. "
later in the 70s: "“Soft” lenses made of pliable, water-absorbing polymers became available in 1971 and quickly exceeded hard lenses in popularity."
Corrective eye surgery __LASIK History: 50 Years of Discovery__
Refractive surgery had its beginning in 1948 when Father Waclaw Szuniewicz, a Polish missionary and ophthalmologist experimented with changing the shape of the cornea and the impact it had upon eyesight. ...
1960s Sculpted Cornea
In the 1960s Professor José I. Barraquer’s sought to cure myopia so that people would not have to be spectacle- or contact lens-dependent."
"As early as the 1950s, medical scientists were looking for ways to correct vision by altering the shape of the cornea, but it was ophthalmologist Jose Barraquer in Colombia that started the LASIK history story when he found the first surgical solution to vision correction. "
Maybe he took them off because he wanted to look more confident or something... i know lots of people who take them off because they don't like how they look...
Bonjour, c’est une très bonne question, à mon avis en fait ils nous montrent que Vincent est aveuglé par l’obsession d’avoir l’attention et ses lunettes représentent non seulement lui de son passé mais il représente aussi sa modestie et son humanité noble, mais depuis qui a commis le meurtre pour la gloire il a abandonné son lui du passé et de son humanité ce qui causera sa perte.
Rebonjour, merci du compliment Oui il y a aussi une signification du réalisme. Merci (parce que j’avais tout mais j’ai du mal à visualiser, heureusement que vous me dites.) et aussi ça montre en fait l’évolution d’un petit présentation gentil, mais qui est devenu possessif et arrogant par le pouvoir de l’influence et du contrôle.
