I have worn prescription glasses since I was in 6th grade. Given that I am now 47, they have been a part of my life for a long time. I have seen many things through my lenses and the look they have given me has changed many times through the years. But one thing remains. They are a part of me.
Glasses.com recently released a charming commercial portraying the things experienced through a pair of prescription glasses from childhood through life as a young adult. It resonated with me because I had not really contemplated before just how much a part of myself my glasses are. This is true not just in the sense that they allow me to see and go about daily life, but they are a part of my sense of personal style, and hence, personality as well.
For example, my current pair of glasses have a thick chunky black frame on the outside, but they are lined with a delicate light blue on the inside. The chunky look in black stands out. You can’t miss that I am wearing glasses with them, and I like that. I think they signify my business-like manner and intelligence. They show my serious side. But that hidden flash of blue shows my girly, fun, and fashionable side. It is a like a hint at a surprise side of my personality. They are designer frames, and that adds to my sense of fashion when wearing them. I love these frames so much that I have reused them through several prescription changes now.
Here is the Glasses.com video. Watch it and see how it resonates with you! By the way, I did some browsing, and Glasses.com has some awesome designer frames, including some similar to mine. The overall selection there is also huge!

Love your thought process on your glasses. I have something similar. They are big round frames that are dark brown, but they have a chartreuse inner frame that makes them unique. I need to check out glasses.com because I need a back up pair of frames!
Glasses say so much about someone’s personality. I hadn’t heard of Glasses dot com but definitely will check out in the future.
I love the glasses you have. The ones I wear now are similar except the inside is purple.
I love glasses but they are always so hard for me to find the right fit because of my flat nose!
Those glasses are cute!
Your glasses are too cute! I, too, wear glasses and like to have a little character to them so I opted for purple glasses. LOL
Your glasses are adorable!
Glasses can be a great accessory even without a prescription!
I SO need glasses. I was straining to read the menu last Friday. I def would want the classic black Chanel frames.
Those glasses are awesome. I need glasses I love them for style and to see.
Super cute glasses!
Finding frames you love is so hard!
I love your frames. That video is so cute
I love your glasses, they’re so cute!
I love your frames. I don’t need to wear them, but as a young girl I dreamed of wearing hipster-ish frames.
I’ve worn glasses for most of my life. I don’t mind them, but some day, I would love to have corrective surgery. Probably then I’ll need reading glasses anyway! lol. I’ll have a million pairs of funky fresh reading glasses, then.
Your glasses are adorable.
I love your glasses too! I’m on the hunt for a new pair!
I don’t wear glasses now, but I used to in HS, and I loved playing with different designs. Great post!
I wear glasses! Love them.
Finally, your page loaded. Yes it was indeed slow. I wear Rx glasses myself (alternating w/ contacts). I’m keeping this website in mind because Lenscrafters is a total ripoff, lol!
