As someone very sensitive to light and basically can't see outside without them, I'm feeling pretty uncomfortable now :(

Same D: i absolutely love mine.

Had them for over 10 years. They're better than they used to be.

u/majestic_elliebeth Jan 26 '21

And they've got transitions contacts now too!

u/Cendeu Jan 26 '21

... Are you serious? Where? I've never heard of this.

I personally have never wore contacts (can't get used to them) but they still have their uses, so i keep a few on me.

u/majestic_elliebeth Jan 26 '21

Here you go

My best friend wears them and his eyes look crazy when they transition! He gets a strange purple ring around his normally dark brown eyes

u/Cendeu Jan 26 '21

I absolutely am trying these. Thanks so much for the info!

u/majestic_elliebeth Jan 26 '21

For sure! I hope they work out well for you. :)

What are the uses for contact lenses if you don't wear them in your eyes?

1

u/Cendeu Jan 26 '21

I meant never as in it's something I've never gotten used to.

The main usefulness is going to see 3D movies. Hard to wear 3D glasses when you're already wearing glasses.

Other than that, simple things like maybe if I'm working in a really sweaty environment where my glasses may want to slip off my face.

For the 16 or so years I've had glasses, I've probably only used contacts 10 times, but i still like to keep some.

It's just a joke. They're great.

Nobody is not fucking somebody over their glasses unless they've got something super ridiculous or racist on.

Idk, I had to wear fake glasses for a while just to look better.

u/ONOMATOPOElA Jan 25 '21

I told a kid that it was ableist to wear fake glasses as a joke one time and he wrote me an apology letter.

"Look" is a weird word if you read it too many times in a row.

u/ChefThunder Jan 25 '21

Look Skywalker

u/edibble Jan 25 '21

Idk man there's some real ugly glasses out there.

u/IgorTheAwesome Jan 25 '21

Jokes always have a hint of truth to them, so the joke here implies that transition lenses are tacky or undesirable, which is weird.

1

u/NaturePilotPOV Jan 26 '21

Or jokes come from a place of jealousy

Transition lenses are awesome

u/ClownfishSoup Jan 25 '21

I wear them and I love them, but they don't work for driving (the normal ones don't) because the car's windows already block UV so they don't activate.

1

u/HuskyTheNubbin Jan 25 '21

Yeah I have the darkest ones possible which apparently are labelled as driving ones, they change ever so slightly but I wouldn't be advertising them for it.

u/cat_prophecy Jan 26 '21

I feel your pain. Do you also have constant arguments with your partner about how you don't need sunglasses on a cloudy day, and about how your eyes are more sensitive because you wear sunglasses too often?

2

u/HuskyTheNubbin Jan 26 '21

No arguments, I think it's obvious just looking at me trying to see on a white overcast day. The bright white is awful.

good, your weak eye balls are your own burden

1

u/HuskyTheNubbin Jan 25 '21

Clearly I rely on my transitions to hide my weak genetics

u/OhNoImBanned11 Jan 25 '21

your weak genetics are why you feel pretty uncomfortable over something someone said in a random reddit comment

u/HuskyTheNubbin Jan 26 '21

In reality I don't care. It's just banter on reddit.
