jak 11 May 2013, 12:44

Where is the best site to see guys in seriously thick strong spex?

Julian 10 May 2013, 19:45

Yes, the groups are there OK, all 14 of them. What I can't find is the pics I uploaded.

Buck 10 May 2013, 18:03

I don't see any recent activity, but the guysglasses series is still showing in "my" Yahoo Groups.

Julian 09 May 2013, 16:00

I did upload them to a Yahoo group once, but I've checked the 14 'guysglasses' groups and can't find them - perhaps it was a group that died the death.

jak 09 May 2013, 13:28

Julian, it would be great to see some of our pictures.

Julian 09 May 2013, 12:10

Back in the days when the original EyeScene was new - 16 years ago! - and Wurm was still called Chris, Mark, one of the very early posters who still posts once in a blue moon under the name of Mark One, launched a site called 'Guys who wear glasses' - it was in the West Hollywood section of Geocities, for those who remember such things. I think Mark would agree with me that 'spexy guys are sexy guys'; anyway I used to wait eagerly for the monthly update. He took the site down years ago, long before Geocities went out of existence, but not before I had downloaded all the photos which I still have in a folder on my hard disc. This morning I decided to use it as a screen saver instead of one of the more recent and better quality folders I normally use, of cute and mostly spexy guys, and I was struck by the style of frames that were popular in the mid-90s. I took the trouble to go through the folder of 129 photos, some of which have more than one guy in them, and I reckon there were 117 pairs of wire rims, 87 of them round. How different from what we see on Tumblr blogs today!

You're welcome James! I wasn't able to pull up a picture on that link unfortunately.

GreginColo 26 Apr 2013, 15:17

Thanks James and Myopic Grant for the photos and updates. I certainly agree with James about the long haired guy and know the feeling...

James 26 Apr 2013, 12:49

Wow, Myopic Grant, those are two super hot guys, and the Rx on the long haired guy is insane in the best possible way.

Baco 1983 also recentlt updated his Flickr feed, and this guy does things to me:

Thanks Julian and Cactus Jack for the updates on Bobby's site and related sources of stimulating guys with glasses stories. In fact a few of my own stories (pen name myopmanfan) are there, but certainly not as good as some of the original stories on Bobby's site. Thanks again, Greg.

Julian 21 Apr 2013, 13:48

GreginColo: I've just discovered that some of the 'Men in glasses' stories that were on Bobby's site (and, let's hope, will be again) are on the Yahoo 'gay glasses fetish fiction' group. A lot of the stories were there originally there - unfortunately a lot of them were uploaded as links and were lost when Geocities closed down, but a few of them have ben reposted, along with some which are (to put it mildly) very explicit. Check http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GayGlassesFetishFiction

Julian 19 Apr 2013, 06:26

p.s. Actually Bobby reported the problem with his site last week under 'Site Feedback and News'.

Julian 19 Apr 2013, 02:37

Greg, Cactus: On Bobby's newer site, http://bobbylaurel.blogspot.cz/ he writes about the problems on his original site and says he hopes to get them put right by the weekend - that was last weekend, so I guess he still hasn't succeeded::( I'm with you Greg, I really miss the older site, but Bobby assures us the stories are all safe. If all else fails I guess he'll move them to the newer site, but that will take time in all conscience!

Cactus Jack 18 Apr 2013, 23:06

GreginColo,

I am not certain, but it is possible that Bobby is working on it or a new site. He mentioned something about that a few months ago and perhaps he just got around to it. Here is a translation of the text by an online translation program:

"Access is denied. Author Web site probably does not have the file in the main folder uploaded index.html or index.php, which is required for the operation site."

GreginColo 18 Apr 2013, 22:11

Does anyone know what happen to know what happened to access to "Bobby's site"? I sure would hate to lose all the stimulating "Guys with Glasses" stories that were available there. Thanks.

Stephen King's son is taking after him in more ways than one. He's an author, and also rather myopic (although his prescription isn't as strong as his dad's mega-minus RX.)

Thanks Jo for the great new set of pics. That's incredible that someone would go from uncorrected to -16; it would have been almost impossible for him to function beyond a handful of inches from his face. It must have literally opened up a whole new world to him. Thanks for your posts, some great material.

Thanks for the info, Jo. Very interesting!

Jo 16 Mar 2013, 13:00

Hi tinyeyes

145 is a 20 year old with a -20 prescription. I believe he is straight.

256 is also about 20. He is gay and is very into thick glasses as well. He has several pairs with prescription ranging from -21 to -30. He initially claims to be -30 but later said he's -22. I suspect goc but I'm not sure.

362 is someone whom I've not chatted before but based on the info he provided from where I downloaded his pics, he's a -15. I suspect an OO looking at the oversized frames.

tinyeyes 11 Mar 2013, 09:04

Thanks for the photos, Jo! If you have time, it would be great if you could add more details about the guys (gay or not, RX, if they wear contacts, how you found them, etc.) These super-strong prescriptions are hard to believe, but there they are! It's hard to imagine that many people would be doing glasses over contacts. For example, I would love to hear more about the guys in pictures 145, 256, and 362.

Jo 11 Mar 2013, 02:20

Hi Tinyeyes, i do not mind you sharing it. i haven't been too hardworking lately in getting good pics hence i added photos without sharing yet. but still you managed to find it after all. BTW, for the guy in the pic, he is married but gay. i too am very aroused by his glasses and am even considering flying over to meet him up. its a 2 hours flight from where i am, but due to work commitments, i'm unable to do it anytime soon. will keep you posted if i do.

GreginColo 10 Mar 2013, 23:26

Thanks te for the post and also thanks to the originator. As mentioned, what a treasure of high minus guys; can't believe all the -20 and uppers. Also love the photos of the loose glasses. THANKS.

tinyeyes 10 Mar 2013, 17:47

I hope he doesn't mind if I post this, but it looks like Rob LItho added some photos to his Asian Guys collection. There are some nice ones here. I think Asia is high minus heaven. This one blows me away!

mattp 02 Mar 2013, 08:03

Tristan Littlehale is a young bespectabled guy from California who is achieving quite a reputation in autocross. Google him--there are too many pictures to provide a link. His RX is not huge, but significant enough so he always is wearing glasses, unusual with someone doing all kinds of active things like driving race cars, boating, biking. There is one profile showing some nice power rings. Wonder why no contacts!

DNBursky 28 Feb 2013, 19:43

How do you contact Dean Skye? Although i doubt it's his real name. Great video.

David

Dave 28 Feb 2013, 12:45

I agree that's he's past -10. Thanks for the picture.

Myopic Grant 28 Feb 2013, 11:29

GreginColo 27 Feb 2013, 21:10

Thanks Te for the heads up on this; a good number of handsome photos of him out there, mostly in his strong (-) glasses. A nice looking guy both (especially)in his glasses, but also with contacts, no doubt.

Tinyeyes 27 Feb 2013, 13:05

Google Robert Limandri. You'll see the NYC buildings commissioner with a prescription that's at least -10D.

Julian 18 Feb 2013, 02:09

Browsing Youtube: I'd call that an EXTREME plus rather than just strong. The guy is quite cute; do you reckon he's aphakic? I don't like contacts, but I should think they'd give him better vision. (I've no idea what the discussion was as I don't speak German!)

James 17 Feb 2013, 17:29

Thanks for the info Tinyeyes....I chatted to him yesterday on Cam4. Says his Rx is -13, and can't remember exactly when he first started wearing glasses, but his guess is about age 4.

And he's on right now, although patience is required to see his face on cam. Gallery pics are good too. (That was me in the last post, accidentally put wrong screen name)

My rx is same as yours!!! with astig.... had cataracts and partial implants, still -6...scar tissue comes from retinas being stretched over time in double digit myopee's (like us lol)... lots and lots more..want to give email? or pick a time for another site..

Ellie 10 Feb 2013, 03:40

Hi guest, I am at -14.50 in my right eye and -12 something in my left. I have some astigmatism as well. What is your prescription? Could you elaborate a little bit about how you got the scar tissue? If you'd like, we might want to consider moving this conversation to a more appropriate thread.

guest 09 Feb 2013, 21:14

To Ellie....

I have retina's with scar tissue and thickening due to high myopia....they make vision uncorrectable past certain points. Vitrectomy can help, but healing is sporatic as to actual results.

How myopic are you?

Ellie 09 Feb 2013, 15:39

I'm guessing that retinal health and astigmatism likely play roles in affecting visual acuity as well. However, I'm no expert, so I could be wrong.

tinyeyes 09 Feb 2013, 13:17

I'm sure someone else will weigh in on this, but I don't think there is a direct correlation. However, I've always had the vague idea that someone who needs a -8 correction would likely have an acuity of around 20/800.

Myopic Grant 09 Feb 2013, 11:25

So, what whould 20/800 eyesight be in regards to negatives?

GreginColo 09 Feb 2013, 07:21

Thanks Spexman for the interesting video on Buddy Holly and his willingness, out of necessity, to lead the way with it being okay to perform on stage wearing glasses. His glasses certainly became one his trademarks, along with his tremendous musical talent.

original Tony 03 Feb 2013, 17:47

Antonio seems to be bare eyed in the Stage clip. When he reaches for the bottles at the end he has to feel for them first of all

tinyeyes 03 Feb 2013, 15:35

Thanks for the Antonio links. He's sexy! Somehow (maybe prism) the right eye seems to have a much stronger prescription, but it's hard to tell. I don't think he's anywhere near -20, but I could be wrong. He's definitely in the double digits and wearing it quite well.

GreginColo 03 Feb 2013, 09:20

Thanks James for the videos of Antonio; I agree a very high and intruiging Rx; while I don't consider myself an Rx expert, I would have to say approaching -20 if not there; some of the close up shots in the latter part of the video are especially intruiging. As far as the second video where he is without glasses, I would think he would have great difficulty functioning in a bare-eyed situation, even in an acting mode, but you certainly do raise an interesting question. I'll look forward to other replies. Thanks for the posts.

03 Feb 2013, 07:03

Welcome to another very special episode of "Specs4ever shoots from the hip" where he once again speaks without evidence to back himself up.

Hold on, isn't this a rerun??

James 03 Feb 2013, 07:01

Here's a video of Antonio Prestieri, whom some may remember as the son of the mafia boss in Naples who appeared on a BBC segment.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqz4JF6dyJU

In this video, logic would dictate he is in contacts, but I just have a gut instinct he is bare-eyed, not sure exactly why I think that (if anyone has a more scientific view, I welcome it).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ayr20KSgKw

Clearly his Rx is otherworldly, something crazy and definitely in double digits, and his left eye has almost a low vision look about it (even though there's a helluva Rx on that side, so maybe not).

Could some of our expert Rx guessers please weigh in?

tivosesante 02 Feb 2013, 14:16

guest-jan 28.......meant to respond, i live close to ybor city and get over there once a week, nothing spectacular, but tampa itself is teaming with myopics, particularly blacks and puertoricans, very few mexican here are myopic...

tivosesante 01 Feb 2013, 18:08

i usually don't relate to non illustrative posts, but this one really grabbed me.......i have mentionrd this character before(victor) and did get some pics of him a long time ago....anyway, ran into him at the main bus station downtown, waiting for the same bus i was going to take and the bus was runing real late so i got an opportunity to sit and talk with victor breifly.....being like a grasshopper he was soon in a flight mode and would land a few yards away and after awhile i would zero in and he would focus for a few minutes....it's quite obious that he has mental problems.....i would say he's as crazy as he is myopic and i got to tell you he's no less than -25 if not higher.....small oval shaped metal rims housing hi index, but still pretty thick myodiscs with concave fronts....his eyes appear ever so tiny, the power rings are horrendous and the incut very deep......in a day or so i will so some assimulations and post them on the web....

i posted a thanks to you you earlier greg, but somehow it got lost in the ozone......i'm not going even to attempt to repeat some of the context, but rather put it into practice.....i will say that my friend johnn with the very thick glasses has been passively teaching me some sort of inner quiet and introspectiveness about things that go on around me outside of me and my control......it's been one of the most curious relationships i have ever had.....

tivosesante 30 Jan 2013, 05:00

James 28 Jan 2013, 08:38

A general problem I've noticed with Tivo's links is that you often precede or follow them with an ellipsis (...).

There may be some picasa specific problem too, but this ellipsis thing also prevents your other website addresses appearing as links. All URL's should be preceded and followed by at least one space.

for some weird reason, maybe due to the link being too long and complex, picasa links could not be automatically highlighted. i encountered the same problem as well. but i dun think it takes too much effort to copy and paste to actually warrant a post to a contributor.

Nothing political intended here, but you may see the relevance to prior E/S posts re US Treasury Secretary nominee Jack Lew. I read the following sentence in a national publication today:

At his last confirmation hearing, in 2010, Lew discounted the importance of regulation, revealing a "myopic view of the origins of the economic meltdown."

Oh, the irony here...

And speaking of irony, as I write this the TV show Jeopardy is on in the background:

The question: Concave lenses were invented to correct this.

Answer: (which a contestant quickly answered) What is nearsightedness (or myopia)?

sam12744 23 Jan 2013, 19:00

Yes, Dom(with the skateboard) is very myopic, but when I've 'spoken' with him, he seems to have no idea of his prescription. He's a really nice guy and did 6 months' worth of daily vlogs last year, if you can find them on You Tube. And in case you were wondering; yes he is deaf, too.

tinyeyes 22 Jan 2013, 08:56

That's a good point about the stress of removing contact lenses, Cactus Jack.

Julian 22 Jan 2013, 02:14

Bwian: both interesting guys, as Greg says. I thought the first one was particularly cute. The second guy seemed to hold the skateboard pretty close when he was working on it - could be be heading for an increase?

GreginColo 21 Jan 2013, 20:11

Thanks Bwian for the two videos; both interesting guys. The second (skateboard guy)appears to me to be noticeably more more myopic than the first. I would guess second guy is -10 to -15 and first -5 to -10, kind of wide ranges I know, but sometimes kind of hard to tell with today's high index lenses.

And thanks Cactus Jack for your thoughts on contacts and retinal detachment. I have never worn contacts, always glasses, but your thoughts make good sense after having watched people at times struggle to remove their contacts.

Cactus Jack 21 Jan 2013, 17:21

tinyeyes,

I suspect, but don't know for sure, that the reason people who have had retinal detachment are concerned about wearing contact lenses is not the lenses themselves, but the stresses and pressures that are sometimes necessary to remove the lenses. Insertion of the lenses is usually pretty gentle, but often it is necessary to apply pressure or distort the eyeball a bit to break the suction between the lens and the cornea. Anything that could put stress on the retinal re-attachement bonds is probably avoided at all costs.

I have never had any hint of a retinal detachment, but from reading the experiences of others and a description by a relative who had it happen, it can REALLY get your attention and you have no desire to repeat the experience.

Bwian 21 Jan 2013, 16:38

I reckon this guy would make double digits http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osvfBbzeB8E&list=PLD3D8A39505FC0F72

Dave 21 Jan 2013, 16:28

He's cute in a geeky sort of way. His glasses exaggerate his prescription somewhat but it is a hefty one nonetheless. I'd say about -7 to -8. Not quite double digits.

Bwian 21 Jan 2013, 15:47

This looks like a decent prescription. Any guesses? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AwSc_mdz_8

James 21 Jan 2013, 04:43

Tinyeyes - that's interesting that you say that, as I've met people with formerly detached retinas who were told contact lens wear will always up the risk, even if only slightly, of the retina detaching again.

tinyeyes 20 Jan 2013, 14:06

Yes, thanks for the info James. I didn't realize he was as high as -16.

I don't know if detached retinas necessarily preclude contact lens wear, although they may make lasik or ICL surgery impossible. I know someone who's about -10 who had a detached retina, and I think he was unable to wear contacts for a short time, but is wearing them again now.

tinyeyes 20 Jan 2013, 14:06

Yes, thanks for the info James. I didn't realize he was as high as -16.

GreginColo 20 Jan 2013, 10:02

Thanks James for your additional insights on the German politician, and I certrainly agree with your comments on the intrigue aspect of it. And thanks again for the original post of him.

James 20 Jan 2013, 08:26

Tinyeyes,

He has a really crazy prescription, read somewhere in the range of -16 in his right (worse) eye. This came out when the German media was mocking his nearsightedness and choice of eyewear during his last campaign a few years ago. He also had detached retinas in both eyes at age 19, so no ICL's or contacts in his future!

Amazing how a major league Rx can make a not very conventionally attractive man really intriguing to me. With that kind of eyesight, though, I imagine the world is a really different place for him, perception-wise, than it is for those with 20/20 vision or even mild to moderate myopia. While I'm sure he can technically "see", I'd imagine it's a very tiny and one dimensional world with little depth perception, like he can see what's right ahead of him and not much more.

Had a great sighting at my gym yesterday. After my workout I went to the sauna for a quick rest. Was in there for about 2 minutes on my own until the door opened a man's voice said 'ah shouldn't have worn my glasses'. Curiousty got the better of me and I put my glasses on to see 2 men in their 40s both in glasses. They both proceeded to take off their glasses as the warm air steamed them up. I plucked up the courage to say 'it's not a good place if you need glasses', one just smiled while the other said 'ye but I'm blind as a bat, I wouldn't find my way from the dressing room to here without them'. I replied 'tell me about it' and the conversation ended. They both put their glasses back on before they left.

and to dnbursky....what i do is, i have downloaded a free application of picasa 3 program which allows me to send foto images via gmail you might want to open a google gmail account, also free..... i fell upon all this over time, but it works real good....picasa allows me to file and lable images, also combine them in album, manipulate them, enhancement also, lots of options.

tivosesante 14 Jan 2013, 04:13

Its Me let me explain, i think i posted earlier on that victor was not coopertive and would not pose with his new glasses, he hasn't for some time now...these fotos were taken about two years ago and the one was morphed from the other and still others to give the groupe an idea what his new glasses are like.....victor has changed glasses and prescriptions so many times since i met him about two years ago, that i do believe he may be a well closeted g.o.c.er, but who knows, what i do know is that he started off with glasses somewhere around -17 and now is doing well over minus 20 with myodiscs that are are extremely well defined with pronounced prisms...along with all of this mystery victor has sported on different occasions glasses ranging from - 7 or 8 to maybe 10; then stronger ones, then tinted ones, then i saw him recieving handout glasses from a mission in down town tampa, that were for reading, also he has appeared in glasses of a lighter script again that were completely different in strenght from one eye to the other....he is seemingly homeless, posibly mentally ill, definitely super tense and hyper anxious and somewhat paranoid.....rides a bicycle all the time...

Cactus Jack 13 Jan 2013, 22:14

tinyeyes,

If I can offer some comments regarding Herbie�s choice of the plus contacts. If you consider the following back of an envelope calculations to balance his glasses prescriptions:

His current glasses prescription is:

R -20.25 sphere

L -9.50 sphere

If we allow for a 12 mm vertex distance and calculate his eye power (the inverse of his prescription at the cornea) we get the following.

R +15.42 (CL = -15.50)

L +8.41 (CL= -8.50)

The first question is what power contact lens should Herbie wear to make his Right Eye require to match the glasses prescription in his Left eye?

We know his Right eye power so to make his Left Eye require approximately a -20.25 glasses lens, we need a +7.00 CL

The second question is what power contact lens should Herbie wear to make his Left Eye match the glasses prescription in his Right Eye

Again we know the eye powers and we would need a -7.00 CL to partially correct his Right eye to require a -9.50 glasses lens.

Now consider the shapes of the lenses.

For maximum comfort, the outer edge of the lens needs to be very thin and the thickness increase as you approach the center of the lens, very nearly the natural shape of the cornea itself, just a little thicker in the center.

Now consider the shape of a relatively high minus CL. It needs to be very thin at the edges for the most comfort the increase rapidly in thickness about 1/3 the distance from the edge to the center and then get thin again near the center of the lens to produce the -7.00 power.

The relative comfort of the different lens shapes depends on the tightness and relative sensitivity of the eyelid as it moves across the lens. I suspect, but don�t know for sure that the -7.00 lens has a noticeable circular ridge that the +7.00 lens does not.

Unlike the person who needs a -15.50 CL for both eye, Herbie can easily compare the relative comfort of each power lens on his corneas and make a choice of which one he prefers.

I hope this makes sense.

Herbie, I would appreciate your comments on my explanation and my estimation of the CL powers. I used the commonly accepted formulas for the calculations, but I don�t think the calculations are exactly right at very high prescriptions. The best way do determine the glasses prescription is a refraction with the CL in place. The result for your left eye may not be exactly 20.25 with the contact, but glasses are commonly available in 0.25 increments and contacts around these powers go from 0.25 to 0.50 increments. The examiner can be more accurate with the glasses prescriptions.

Its Me 13 Jan 2013, 20:19

I think its amazing that Victor is wearing the same clothes in both photos and the photos are taken in the same location!

DNBursky 13 Jan 2013, 19:56

I switch between contacts usually during the day and glasses at night. Not sure how to post a photo.

David

tinyeyes 13 Jan 2013, 02:14

Herbie, it's interesting hearing about your solution to your vision correction.

Do you wear hard or soft lenses? I'm curious as to why the minus contact lens is uncomfortable. Is it because of the thickness? I don't know if I've heard of a contact lens, either hard or soft, available as high a power as -20. What is the limit of power of a contact lens, does anyone know?

On a related subject, I talked to a guy who is blind in one eye and about -8 in the other. He wears one contact much of the time, but when wearing glasses, for appearance's sake he wears the -8 prescription in both eyeglass lenses. It looks much better. And course fas an OO who likes the look of a strong prescription, I would agree.

herbie 12 Jan 2013, 12:53

Cactus Jack

Yes your comments are perfectly true. When I wear glasses without any contacts I get double vision.

The plus contact lens I wear on my left eye is much more comfortable than the minus contact lens required on the right. It means I wear -20.25 glasses which are strong but give me good vision.

tivosesante 12 Jan 2013, 11:42

this morning i got the surprised of a lifetime from my old contact victor who some of you may know thru a throughly ficticious story, but anyway victor has been an enigma all along, starting with a total lack of cooperation in regards to fotographing, along with unpredictable mood swings....i have dubbed him a a closet goc' er mostly becuase he has appeared in so many different glasses at different times and now from a seemingly very low script, after sporting a high one to start with, to a very high one, i would say some where in the high twenties, he has even dawned plus reading glases, but all in in all he's totally illusivw and unwilling to stand in front of a camera at this time, so i assulated what he looked like this morning and compared it to the forst time that i was able to capture some fotos of him which appear in the same web albums just click on to tivo's albums on the bar above 'victor today and before'....here's the picasa web album link......

https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/tEBvH8DRJEZXlFZ5r7fgRcbGJJehgshrU-Zogq7Z6qk?feat=directlink

Cactus Jack 12 Jan 2013, 10:20

One of the big problems people with very mismatched prescriptions is the difference in image sizes on the retna caused primarily by Vertex Distance effects. Sometimes it can make it nearly impossible to fuse the images and keep them fused. Contact Lenses with Zero Vertex Distance do not change image size very much, so the idea of using a contact lens on one eye to match up the glasses prescription is a good one and then, correct the final result with glasses. The choice of which eye to wear the contact should be the choice of the patient after trying both.

I remember a few years ago that an ES poster had a similar problem where the different size images made it difficult for him to read without double vision problems. The several ECPs he had seen had tried everything but a single contact lens to match up the image sizes. I suggested that he look into that option and never heard back.

A good solution to a not very rare problem, Herbie.

GreginColo 12 Jan 2013, 09:36

Thanks Herbie; for you response, I am glad that single eye GOC works well for you, as a way of providing comfortable and clear vision for you. I assume you are not yet of the age, as are some of us, that requires near vision correction also, which adds another complexity.

herbie 12 Jan 2013, 08:54

Thanks for the replies guys.The photos were great.

I have always had mismatched rxs but in my teens and early 20s the difference got bigger. I get better vision if I use one contact lens to equal out the eyes then finally correct with glasses. The most comfortable is to use a plus contact lens to make both eyes high minus then use strong minus glasses,vision is better too.

GreginColo 11 Jan 2013, 22:03

A number of thoughts/questions here:

Re Jack Lew: I agree with tinyeyes, who is a great judge of myopic Rx's, that Lew's Rx is likely pretty strong, ie in the teens; there are a few recent pictures of him that show significant cut-in when he tilts his head a bit to one side or the other. At his age he must have some progressive near distance correction built in or else be switching glasses a lot for the all numbers and charts he must be frequently looking at. It would be interesting to see some younger day pics of him but I couldn't find any.

Re Herbie: The difference in your Rx's is quite intruiging; that is a large difference. I would be interested in knowing your visual history, as to whether you always had a proportional difference, or whether one eye changed much more rapidly than the other. If you don't want to share this on ES but would do so via email let me know and I will provide that to you.

And lastly a gym sighting today. An attractive mid-40ish guy who I had never seen in glasses before showed up today in some some upper single digit glasses in attractive brushed aluminum rectangular frames. He was working with a trainer so I couldn't strike up a conversation, but it had me wishing I didn't have to get to work and could linger through the end of his workout.

tinyeyes 11 Jan 2013, 09:11

Jack Lew actually looks to be at least -10, maybe even as high as -12. His well-chosen small frames minimize thickness and do a good job of hiding cut-in, but make no mistake, they're very powerful. In photos where you can see part of his eyes or eyelids not covered by the eyeglasses, you can see the major difference in size, which helps show how strong the correction is. He's 57 years old, so I'm assuming he's in bifocals, but I would think it would be difficult to make bifocals with such small frames -- interesting.

herbie 11 Jan 2013, 09:06

Hi, any guys here share similar experience. I have mismatched rxs. L-9.5, R-20.25

James 11 Jan 2013, 04:43

Google images for new Treasury Secretary Jack Lew.

Looks to be significantly myopic - perhaps not in double-digit territory buy I'll warrant he'd be very lost without his (predictably hi-index, wire-rim) glasses.

Any guesses as to his Rx?

New episode. Myopic, male, nun.

GreginColo 07 Jan 2013, 21:29

Church is probably not the most appropriate place for myoguy sightings, but it happens, so I will share one here and hopefully not offend anyone. And to be totally honest, a myoguy sighting is hard for me to ignore regardless of the setting. The church I attend is a somewhat specialized, small congregation, so we typically average about 25 at our weekly service, so it is easy to notice a guest in our midst, and we always try to be very welcoming to them.

This past Sunday, an attractive guy showed up, my initial guess 50 y/o, +or- 5 either way, and we sat in the same pew. I quickly noticed he was wearing mid-range myopic glasses, I am guessing -5 to -8 range, in attractive frames. He must not have had any near vision correction however as to read anything he would slightly lower his glasses and look above them, with the material at a pretty close range, something I used to do myself, and probably more convenient than needing to have the right power of reading glasses available, as I do now.

Anyhow, after the actual service we have a fellowship time so I had a chance to chat with him a bit more and learned his age to be 55, so I was surprised he add not yet availed himself of some near vision correction. He seemed like a very nice guy and I hope he will return sometime in the future, and if so I'll be interested to see if he is in glasses or contacts. I am left wondering if he normally wears contacts so has not bothered to update his glasses for some near vision assistance.

The chain supermarket where I normally shop opened a store relatively close to my house about 5 years ago. There was a male cashier there, tall, slender, handsome, probably early 30's, dark eyes, and dark hair pulled tight to his head and braided in the back. By the way he blinked his eyes a lot I suspected he was wearing some fairly powerful contacts but wasn't sure. I would usually try to go through his checkout line if he was available as he was always quite friendly, in addition to his overall handsomeness.

Several years back, the chain opened another store, that he transferred to, on the opposite side of town so I didn't see him much after that, until yesterday (New Year's Eve day)when I was in that part of town so decided to shop there, pretty much having forgotten about the fact that he worked there. As I approached the checkout lines I noticed he was working, so I made sure to go his line, especially when I noticed he was wearing glasses with pretty strong appearing myopic lenses.

I had a fairly large order so it gave us some time for small talk as to how he liked this store vs the prior one. I finally got up the nerve to compliment him on his glasses, flat-fronted, reflective, lenses in stylish wrap-around lenses with wide temples making it difficult to judge the lense thickness, but I am guessing at least a -10. He continued to say that the smoke from area forest fires we had this past summer had begun to bother his contacts enough that he would have to switch out of them midway thru this shift so finally just started wearing glasses full time for work. I again complimented him on his look with his glasses and wanted to ask him his Rx but didn't get that level of courage, and he had finished ringing up my items so I didn't want to hold up those in line behind me. Anyway it was a nice sighting and a confirmation of my earlier suspicion of his myopia, so thought it worth sharing here.

Happy New Year's to the Guys in Glasses community.

White House Press Sec Jay Carney has been on TV a lot lately, always looking quite attractive in his glasses, which appear to be not all that strong. Today he was without glasses, still quite attractive, but must have been in contacts, as no obvious squinting or eye discomfort or difficulty seeing or focusing.

actually, each time i thought i've maxed out on the double-digit myopic guys available, a new one pops out. I'm thankful i'm in China, where such guys are really in abundance. And almost literally each time i walk down the street, i would at least encounter one or two such guys. Never fail to brighten up my day!

Thanks Tivo for the Youtube post of the interview with video game designer John Romero. An interesting interview even for a video game outsider like myself. Especially appropriate for this site however is that he is a very handsome guy wearing quite attractive high minus glasses, with a lot of lens reflectiveness showing throughout the interview. Also quite interesting are the earlier in life pics of this handsome and talented man. Thanks again Tivo for sharing this post.

GreginColo 07 Dec 2012, 19:43

Thanks Tivo for the post of myopic supermodel guy lying in bed before transitioning to contacts for the day. Nice looking guy, nice looking glasses. THX for sharing, THX for caring.

Also an update on myself. In my Thanksgiving Day post I had mentioned that I had just ordered 4 pairs of glasses from Zenni during their BOGO sale. This was the first time I had ever ordered Rx glasses on line. Anyhow, they arrived today and I am pleased with the fit and quality. The frames however may be a bit more fashionable than I have used in the past, but that will probably be good for me.

In case you haven't read my prior posts, I was moderately and progressively more myopic starting in 4th grade and always wore glasses until about 10 years ago when I had lasic, which I came to regret, as I miss being myopic and the connection that brings with other similarly interested myopic guys.

So during the past years I have worn off the shelf readers, more frequently and with a stronger Rx, but always glasses on for close, off for distance. So I finally decided to order some bifocals with a mild plus top and stronger lower reading segment. I wore one pair most of the afternoon and they seemed to work well at work (mostly computer work) and in general. The bifocal portion seems well placed. I'll try the look and feel of the other 3 pairs over the next few days, but so far, so good.

Thanks for the post; the content of the video is kind of weird, to me anyway, but still worth a watch. It's interesting how he starts with his moderate myopic glasses off without a lot of squinting, a bit later moves his face close to the computer screen to read, then puts his glasses on, then removes them again toward the end of the video, all with no mention at all of the glasses. Thanks again.

Greg,

Thanks for the update. I don't feel GOC is at all about the contacts; for most, if not all, the contacts are merely a means to an end ie. to get to wear stronger/ different prescription glasses and still be able to see properly while doing so.

What do others think?

Sam

GreginColo 23 Nov 2012, 22:40

PS; I forgot to mention Jamie's writing, that I referred to in my post, is posted on the Vision and Spex site. Sorry.

GreginColo 23 Nov 2012, 22:37

Hope your Thanksgiving was good; mine was with family here in Colorado; and safe travels to those of you yet to return to your homes. While many of us were suffering through our post "ate too much" bloat, our friend Jamie (see prior post) was busy at the keyboard writing down his own personal guys in glasses story, and particularly his interest in bifocals, on himself and on other guys. As someone more recently out of the closet regarding my OO interest, I am always interested in other guys' stories as to how and when in their lives they became aware of this interest, and how it has influenced their lives (see my earlier "Have You Ever?" post) Thanks Jamie for sharing yours and hope others of you have a chance to read.

It was kind of a coincidence that I ordered 4 pairs of bifocals from an on-line retailer the day before Thanksgiving. They were having a buy one/get one sale, hence the 4 pairs. A brief recap of my own story, I became interested in mypoic guys fairly early in life but shoved it in the closet,along with other things, even though it often influenced my actions, such as trying to sit next to or befriend a myopic guy. I started wearing glasses in 4th grade and had the normal myopic progression until it stabilized around -7 in college. Fast forward some decades and I had lasik done thinking the closeted myopic fetish would go away. Wish I would have known some of you guys then to help talk me out of it, as I miss being myopic, but am not going to do GOC as I had no interest in contacts even when I was myopic; always just wore glasses. Having lasik is definitely in my personal top ten list of bad decisions, even though the vision turned out basically normal, but that's how we all learn. Are there any others with this regret? Anyhow, long story short, I am now needing a mild plus Rx with a close up add, hence the bifocals order. A good friend of mine, who is also a myoguy fan, looked up the frames I ordered and thought I made some good choices, so I appreciate that, and look forward to receiving them in a couple of weeks.

Thanks again Jamie for sharing your personal story, and O hope others will consider doing so also.

Jamie32 23 Nov 2012, 18:40

Black Friday in USA,

big day for shopping.

Guy in probably early 20's came into store wearing dark brown plastic frames, able to get close enough to see some very thick lenses behind the frames.

Certainly looked a day away from the contact lenses, could definitely tell guy had to be double digits in myopia. Looked like average cute college guy, fairly trim, cute dark brown cropped hair

GreginColo 21 Nov 2012, 22:24

I wanted to offer a special Thanksgiving wish to the Eyescene Guys in Glasses community in the USA as we celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday; and to those of you elsewhere in the world, may this also be a time of thankfulness and generosity in your lives.

If you haven't already, check out the most recent video on the GWTG site; a very cute, very myopic guy talking about making an adult film with his glasses on, and also how he often wears his glasses, probably very necessary with his Rx, during times of personal intimacy. If he did make such a video it would no doubt be very popular among those of us who read and enjoy this thread. Thanks Tiny Eyes for the video post, and the site.

tinyeyes 03 Nov 2012, 10:37

Greg, if you look at the "channel" of Craig, the guy who got new glasses after 18 years, you can find more videos of him wearing his wonderful strong glasses. We discussed him a lot a couple of years ago here. Sadly something seems to have happened and he never posts videos any more. Here is a good one...http://youtu.be/sZ2w-yZydGU

Also, just a reminder to anyone new or who hasn't looked in a while, to check out my tumblr blog, where I continually post pictures of spexy guys--

Enjoy!

Gregin Colo 27 Oct 2012, 21:10

Thanks again, Minus 10, for the posts you shared. Hope you find even more to share. The "I can see clearly now" video was great: very cute guy showing us his super hot new glasses. Hard to imagine he hadn't replaced his glasses in 18 years. He likely would have had some noticeable Rx increases during that time, so must not have relied on his glasses much at all. Would love to have seen him remove his contacts and then put the glasses on, with those fascinating bare-eyed moments in between. Too bad he got distracted telling us about chips and dips and trips to the Dairy Queen, but I imagine he was making a general video , not one targeted to us myopmanfans.

The other guy with the very strong bifocal plus Rx, you have to admire the way he carries on his life (did he say lifeguard training?)with some pretty obvious visual loss, as evidenced by the way he hesitates to remove his glasses to show the lens thickness. I don't know a lot about plus Rx's, nor have the same fascination as I do with minus Rx's, so it would be hard for me to even guess at an Rx for him.

Thanks again to -10 and to all the guys who share on this site and help keep it interesting and stimulating.

Good story, Greg! Poor guy, but I'm glad it ended ok. Thanks for sharing.

Gregin Colo 24 Oct 2012, 20:56

This true story happened about 10 years ago, and was related to me shortly thereafter by the person it happened to, a friend of mine named Derrin. As a bit of background, Derrin was a bit younger than me, and also a bit more myopic. I was -7ish at the time, and his glasses were a bit stronger and thicker than my own. Neither one of us had hi-index lenses; or ever wore contacts, so were completely glasses dependent, so we rarely saw each other without glasses, but I was always welcomed those chances to try on each other�s glasses, which I seemed to enjoy more than he did. Anyway, I would guess his Rx was likely somewhere -8 to -10, and probably closer to -10. For the purpose of this story I�ll assume -9.5.

Derrin was married at the time and had a couple of great kids, probably then late elementary school age. He had promised the kids a day-trip to the regional water park, so used a Saturday when his wife was travelling out of state to make good on that. They made the 45 minute drive to the water park getting there in time for the morning opening to get in the full 10 am to 6 pm day at the park. Derrin�s glasses at the time were transitionals, in rather large frames, so figured he didn�t need to bring any Rx sunglasses or clip-ons along. One of the early �rides� that the kids wanted to go on was a water plume tube about up 2 or 3 stories that shot you down a tube into a large pool of swirling water. There were warning signs saying to remove any jewelry, accessories, etc and if wearing glasses to make sure you had a safety strap to hold them on tightly, because they couldn�t shut the attraction down until the end of the day, to retrieve lost items. He had not brought a strap along, and didn�t want to navigate up the stairs in a bare-eyed blur, so he ascended to the top of the ride with his glasses on, figuring they were heavy enough that they would stay on his face.

The kids went down the plume first and Derrin followed, soon ending up in the swirling pool. He soon realized that his world had become an intense blur and he had lost his glasses somewhere on the way down. His kids, neither myopic at the time, helped him get to the side of the pool and climb out. He started to panic realizing the gravity of his situation and the pending difficulty of getting through the rest of the day in �9.5 bare-eyed blur, until his glasses could be retrieved after the attraction was shut down at the end of the day. He explained his situation to park management but was reminded of the warning signs about personal items lost on the ride. Of course there was no way he would drive home, or even get out of the parking lot with his significantly myopic uncorrected vision. With the kids help they did make a trip out to the car to see if by chance he had left an extra pair in the car, but no such luck. And with his wife out of state she couldn�t bring another pair to him, although, had I known, I would have volunteered to bring him a spare of my own Rx to least provide some significant degree of correction. A -2 to3 undercorrection would certainly have been more tolerable than what he was experiencing. He decided the only thing to do was to squint has way through the day and make the best of it until he could hopefully retrieve his glasses. On the way back from the car, with his limited vision, he made a mis-step and twisted his ankle so had a double handicap.

The kids were not used to seeing their Dad without his glasses, so he explained to them that they would have to help him see for the rest of the day and they could go ahead and have fun on the safer rides but he wouldn�t be able to watch them as close as he would like. They did go the concession stand and buy some cheap sunnies to help reduce the glare and make the squinting less obvious. Nonetheless the kids had a fun and safe day, and by the end of the day Derrin�s eyes were very strained and tired but had somewhat adjusted to the blur. As soon as the park closed for the day the lost items in the plume pool were retrieved, and Derrin�s glasses were among those, along with some other glasses but likely without such a strong Rx. They were a bit worse for the wear but still very usable.

As he was telling me about this misfortune a couple of days later, I was trying to hide my own excitement about what he was sharing with me and how much I would have liked to have been there to help him navigate thru a -9.5 bare-eyed day, and likely would have shared my glasses with him, to at least share the blur of the day, and somewhat lessen his. Being afraid of heights I would noty have gone on the plume ride. Of course, my own excitement would have been hard to conceal; likely a full towel day. From then on he always kept a spare pair in the glove box of his car, which I enjoyed when we were travelling together and he would go into a store or something. Even this many years later, recounting this story brings fond memories......

Yes, -10, I agree with GreginColo. He's cute!

GreginColo 23 Oct 2012, 21:35

Thanks -10, for the video post; a cute guy with great eyes and some obvious cut-ins visible throughout the video: I would guess his Rx minus 6-7ish or so, but that's just a guess on my part based on the cut-ins.

Sofsted 20 Oct 2012, 18:45

Wow this is a very sexy guy,when i saw the images he got me up,not only he is very nice but the wonderful thickness of the lenses with so many power rings is so beautiful especially in his retro frames,i guess that his rx is over -20

tivosesante may i ask you some information about him:name,age,place,work,rx and all the stuff that comes in your mind about him

Hey Sofsted,

Glad to see you come over from Lenschat to be with all of us!

GreginColo 14 Oct 2012, 11:25

Hi Kevin; from just the side view, it's hard to tell if those are Rx glasses or not, but my guess would be not, as its hard to see much lens thickness, either plus or minus. A front face view would be helpful to tell if there was any minification (minus Rx) or magnification (plus Rx)of the eyes, and background. Sorry no definitive answer here.

Kevin 14 Oct 2012, 09:09

Can anyone tell if these are prescription

It might be nice to have an XXX links thread for guy photos/videos and one for gal photos/videos so people could select based on their personal interests. Just an idea...

tivosesante 13 Oct 2012, 11:55

don't feel bad jo, i enjoyed the last one of the guy with a really powerful script.....let's take what we want and leave what we don't want, somebody else might enjoy what's left over....all in all they are not in great taste and i appreciate the fact that eyecene has not evolved into a hard core porn site, but an occasional slice of the other world wont kill us and to me the guy was very stimulating leave the cock and take the face and the glasses and run.....

Went out the other evening to get a Chinese takeaway, and on the way back passed the local fish and chip shop which has a couple of chairs just inside. There was a young guy sitting in one with a pair of glasses on top of his head (short, crisp, fairish hair). Shades, I thought - but at this time of night? Not a bit of it! A quick look as I passed revealed black frames and minus lenses, not strong but not negligible either. As I moved on he got up, came out of the shop, and walked off in the direction I had come from without, as far as I could see, putting his glasses where he could see through them. Why do short-sighted guys not make use of their specs? I suppose he might have been heading for his car, in which case he presumably would need them.

Thanks Tivo for sharing you personal glasses fascination story; it started pretty young, as with myself. Let's hope some other guys share theirs also.

tivosesante 05 Oct 2012, 15:02

as greginC0lorado requested, i'm going to share some of my earliest memories....all the glasses then, when i was mayby four or five, were steel rimmed and i remember my earliest encounter accompanied by a lurid facination was of a boy named danny, sandy dark blond hair, teenage thick, strong glasses, not plano in front, steel rimmed of course and they made his eyes ever so small....they glimmered and then i remember my grandmother talking about them when i was sitting on her knee and i was lapping it up, no pun intended...later on in grade school, maybe around second or third grade my second discovery of a boy with very simular glasses and he was a loner, older who cut thru class rooms and seemed to not be part of the school regimen....he would pop up now and then over the years with his shinny glasses , he definitely was a true truant...but nevertheless there he would be from time to time....these are the only two note worthy sightings in my earlier years, until i came to n.y.c. in my early 20's or late teens and it was there that the fun began...a black boy in the village with very thick , now plastic rimmed glasses, another, white boy with big horn rimmed specs with lots of pronounced power rings...after all that it never stopped, just getting better and better all the time.....

GreginColo 02 Oct 2012, 20:11

I am always interested/curious about how/when other guys first discovered/became aware of their interest in Guys with Glasses, so I will post my own story in that regard, hoping that might encourage others to do the same.

For me, prior to grade 2, no really recollection of anything about glasses. It hit big time grade 2. A friend of mine had a big brother who drove us to school at times. Big Brother had glasses like I had never seen before; thick and shiny and things looked very tiny. That fascinated me to no end. Dating myself, this was before cars had seat belts in the back so I was able to scoosh around a bit and try to peak thru those thick lenses, and he was a guy to boot. I felt something during those 5 minute rides that I had never felt before. He soon left for the military (I heard he wanted Air Force but got Army instead because of his eyes; didn't know quite what it meant but it seemed exciting) so no more rides with him, but I was hooked, just didn't know or understand it at the time, like many things in my life.

Now to grade 3, two guys got glasses, one that made things (and his eyes) look smaller, the other that made things (and his eyes) look bigger, my fascination definately with the former. Always tried to get behind him in lunch line to get a glimpse of his tiny world, even though his glasses were likely not all that strong. One day he was without them, broken he said, so I was curious about what he was able to see, so tried to watch him even more closely that day, especially when he asked the teacher to move to the front of the class so he could see the lessons better. Thought that was pretty ballsy to admit he needed to move froward to better see the board. I admired him for that not fully realizing I should also be moving closer to the front. Grade 4, routine school eye exam, and I also needed glasses, don't remember the power or it meant nothing for me, but guessing -1.5 to -2, seems reasonable for a first myopic Rx. Was marvelled about how much better I could see. By then more guys were getting their initial minus scripts, always hoped someone would want to swap glasses with me, but no one ever did and I was not brave enough to suggest that with anyone. One days my glasses were "misplaced" at home (actually someone hid them for me) so I was forced to go to school without them. so I could understand the blur of the guy the year before. I didn't have the courage to ask to move closer but the teacher must have noticed my squinting so she asked me to. By the time I got home, my Mom had found my glasses so that was only experience being without my glasses for a longer period than I wanted.

From then, my Rx and myopcession continued to increase. The Rx eventually stabilized, myopcession didn't. Teenage years, "xxx dreams" were always about guys (that should have been a clue, but I was still clueless, and have been much of my life). in their glasses, always one that made things look tiny (later leaned the term minus power, etc, etc, etc).

Here's hoping to hear for some of the rest about the history of your own myopcession.

tivosesante 02 Oct 2012, 14:27

to answer your inquiry about no.32.........his name is bori and he was kind enough to model for me for a few years from time to time, he does wear glasses and is nearsighted, but not as i depicted him although he has willinging posed with some of these strong glasses that have been given to me by other myopics who have either gotten new glasses or contacts...bori is presently encarcerated for a dubious charge, but should be released shortly.....later today i will upload my entire album on bori with and with out glasses...will post the link as soon as i get organized....thankyou for your interest.....

On the new season of "Secret Princes," the Indian prince wears glasses full-time and has five pair that I've counted so far. The Spanish Prince, Cisco, was sporting black rims in the second episode (apparently pre-contact lens insertion.) Cisco is hot, with or without glasses.

scott 30 Sep 2012, 16:28

tivosesante,

I cannot stop myself from looking at your wonderful pictures of the gorgeous guys in glasses. They are all great looking guys but number 32 out of 35 in the first set simply makes me so aroused. Will we be able to find out their names and rxs?

scott 30 Sep 2012, 10:33

Heaven!!

Where do you meet all these guys tivosesante? Do they know eachother? Man you are very lucky. Some are real hunks in glasses.

When you meet these guys you must be so hard.

gregincolo 30 Sep 2012, 07:41

Phillip and Scott...I know what you mean. I don't know this for sure, but I am guessing most, if not all, of Tivo's photos are real Rx's, and would appear to avearge about -30, give or take 5. Tivo, any info you could share on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

A nice Saturday morning myoguy sighting worth sharing. Was out running around to a few yard sales this morning before beginning more productive activities for the day. At one house I stopped at, the seller was a tallish, quite attractive guy probably right around 40 y/o. Enhancing his already attractiveness were the super stylish high minus glasses that he was sporting on his face. They were the newer wrap around style with bronze color metal frames. With the wrap around it was hard guess the Rx but the thickness and reflection would cause me to guess at least high single digits. I got up the courage to say "Hey man, I really like your glasses, quite stylish," hoping that might encourage some related conversation from him, but it didn't. All I got was one of those "what?" kind of looks. I wanted to ask if I could snap a picture of him, but didn't summon that level of courage. Nontheless, I did linger at that sale a bit longer than I otherwise might have, and looked around at his sale stuff a little more closely just in case he had some old glasses in there. No such luck, but still a nice way to begin the day.

GreginColo 26 Sep 2012, 07:38

And thank you Tivo, your kindness and concern toward this significantly myopic man is no doubt greatly appreciated, and is what makes the world a better place for all of us.

tivosesante 26 Sep 2012, 07:06

thankyou gregincolo for your comment..here is a before and after foto set of my freind john...the high index glasses are a result of several pairs that i found at a flea market in tampa, and most of them are very close if not exact in prescription to john's.....the first low index cr 39's are what he was wearing when i first met him...he only occasionally wears them now......https://picasaweb.google.com/105066828604706326817

I sometimes see a man sitting outside a pub in Camden(north London) who wears myo- disc lenses that look quite thin,

He seems to have two pairs, probably distance and reading,but I,ve also seen him take his glasses off to use an iPad, and to operate the screen with his nose.

Jack, one more thought to ponder if you would. If it would be in your comfort zone to share some of your optical history, with us, both the challenges and the rewards, I am sure others of us would find that quite interesting. Or if doing that by email would be more acceptable, let me know. Thanks.

gregincolo 24 Sep 2012, 19:57

Welcome Jack and thanks for sharing you thoughts with us, especially the suggestion about talking with a guy about his glasses rather than just secretly wondering about them. I hope you will consider sharing a picture sometime.

Jack 24 Sep 2012, 12:52

Jim suggested I should post here. It doesn't upset me, at all, that many men find guys in powerful minus glasses attractive. If guys use contact lenses to be able to wear thick glasses I am flattered.

Some of us who have to wear these type of glasses also feel similar feelings to those described in previous posts. I am really attracted to Jim when he wears his thick myodiscs with GOC.

Please feel free to chat to any guy you see wearing thick glasses. He has most probably accepted long ago his need and may well welcome open discussion. He could even get turned on by your attention.

AdamB 24 Sep 2012, 09:09

Sorry should have added you'll need to scroll down to see the pic.

tivosesante 24 Sep 2012, 04:23

it's been interesting all the chat about us as a minority and our coming out at least unto one another in this cyber media, which has made it feel safer to be ourselves......i wonder sometimes if we are really indeed a minority or simply a minority that has reached out....interesting also is the phasing out of the elements that facinated us so, particularly if you are my age (80) and find less and less really notiiable glasses with solid thickness and power rings......i have been fortunate like many of you have related in that i have encountered over the years a lot of guys with really strong glasses......my lover of 12 years now, who is 20 years my junior, although we don't live together we are still commited.........and i have to add that the guy who i have referred to as john from tampa, who still sports the thickest and strongest glasses i have ever seen on a guy, maybe with the exception of one person way back.....john and i continue to become closer and i have to add that he is not a person that is easy to get to know or will he generally show any trust at any level, but he little by little he is......surprisingly he has allways allowed me to take fotos of him and the other day i did my frst videl of him....

Julian 24 Sep 2012, 02:10

Greg; although power rings and minification have their own appeal (as my home-made screensaver shows!) I'm less selective: any g/l guy with well-chosen glasses does it for me...see my recent postings about two cute foureyed cashiers at Tesco.

Love and kisses, Jules.

Spexy guys are sexy guys.

tinyeyes 23 Sep 2012, 23:54

Here are a couple more:

1. Have you ever gone on a date or two with a guy who didn't wear glasses, and then went to his house/apartment, and needed to use the restroom, at which point you took the opportunity to check the bathroom for contact lens/glasses paraphernalia? And, on a rare lucky occasion, did you find seriously thick glasses in a case next to contact cases and solution? And then did you try those glasses on (removing your own contact lens to check the RX if you're very myopic yourself)?

2. Or, did you go on a couple of dates with a guy, and then on the third date, he shows up with coke-bottles on, tiny-eyed? You heart skips beats while you pretend to be nonchalant, while you are suddenly extremely excited and ten times more attracted to him? You casually compliment his glasses, and he mentions that his contacts were just so dried out and he needed a rest from them tonight. Lucky you!

(Yes, both of these have happened to me.)

gregincolo 23 Sep 2012, 22:46

OOps, forgot one:

Have you ever...

Wished there could be a gathering, convention, meeting,or whatever you envision it to be, of high myopic guy (himyguy)fans. Another poster also posted this possible desire earlier, but I have also have often thought about this, thinking there had to be others than me with this fascination?

gregincolo 23 Sep 2012, 22:38

Have you ever�..

1) Been in a store; you spot a good looking (g/l) himyguy (high myopic guy)and adjust your shopping pattern to better match his, including making sure you are in the checkout line behind him (even though other lines are open)?

2) Been leaving a store and g/l himyguy walks toward the store; you remember what you forgot (or didn�t) and ( repeat 1 above)?.

3) Been waiting for a cashier/teller/attendant, etc and notice one to be a g/l himyguy. You make sure to go to his line/station and treat him extra nice? (a win/win)

4)Been in a restaurant and you waiter is a g/l himyguy; the service is good with a lot of nice small talk; you are a little extra generous with the tip? (another win/win)

5)Been waiting for a haircut with only one stylist on duty; you�re up next; a g/l himiguy walks in and seems in a bit of a hurry; you�re not, so you offer him your slot and enjoy watching him squint his way through the haircut ? (another win/win) You�re secretly wondering what would happen if the stylist lost his glasses?.

6) Been driving or biking down a road and notice a g/l himyguy out for a walk or run; you take an extra loop around the block, or maybe two if he is shirtless?

7)Seen a g/l himiguy couple (yes ,both himyguys) and wonder if they consider their myopia an attraction or a distraction to their relationship; you also wonder if they leave their glasses on during times of intimacy or go bare-eyed?.

8)Been at your optometrist and get aroused waIting for the Doc knowing there is a g/l himyguy in the next room and wishing you could �see� that exam as it took place; or wished that you would chosen optometry as a career, but realizing that may have been too obvious?

9)Strolled thru optical stores hoping to see a g/l himyguy trying on frames with his face pretty close to the mirror? You�re secretly wishing he would ask you to help him select a frame.

10) Lingered in the locker room a bit longer when you notice glasses cases or contact supplies on the counter hoping to watch a himyguy switch between the two? (see my true locker room story in an earlier post.)

11)Seen a g/l himyguy with his glasses off, (shower.sauna, just rubbing his eyes,use your imagination, etc) and wishing you could experience his vision for a bit; wanting to ask him what he can really see or not but you don�t, don�t want to seem weird.

12)Wonder what it might be like for a himyguy to have to go bare-eyed in a strange setting for the better part of a day? (stay tuned for a future true story post on this).

13) Had lasik surgery and wish you wouldn�t have as you truly miss the myopic connection?

14) Been attracted to a guy because of his myopia?

15) Thought you were the only one with a fascination for himyguys and once you realize there are others that you can connect with in this regard, you wonder about theirs stories as to how, when, where they became aware of this fascination as how it has affected their lives? (I will have a more detailed post on this sometime in the future)

I can answer yes to each of the above, as well as some others better shared in private. How about it guys, any others of you done any of the above, or have any himyguy "have you evers?" you might want to share?

scott 23 Sep 2012, 10:50

I am very happy you had a chat on the train Jim. Because of these postings I have met Jamie on lenchat. Only possible because of you Jim. Enjoy tonight, as if you could fail to do so!!!!

Jim 23 Sep 2012, 10:42

tinyeyes

The first HMC high myopes conference is on tonight!!!

Let's all put our heads together to think of a plan. Real guys beats pictures hands down.

Jim 23 Sep 2012, 10:39

Who would have thought one simple chat on a train would go so far. Good to meet many of you guys this afternoon on lenschat.com

Jack is coming over tonight. He has asked me to wear my stronger GOC minus glasses, have to keep pinching myself.

We'll be able to swap glasses after dinner. OMG again

gregincolo 23 Sep 2012, 10:29

Tinyeyes; I have also wondered, fanticized, about a conference or gathering of guys similarly interested in hi-myope guys; seems like it could be such a fun thing to do. Problem is we seem to be pretty geographically dispersed, at least those of us who have opened up recently.

tinyeyes 23 Sep 2012, 10:20

Wow, all this activity is very exciting! I hope we get to see photos of Jack eventually! Sometimes I wish there was a way all us OOs could meet, a High Minus Conference or something. Joking, but half-serious...

GreginColo 23 Sep 2012, 09:39

Thanks guys for sharing your posts and Jim glad you have been able to spend some time with the guy you met on the subway.

Jamie32 23 Sep 2012, 08:51

So great to see new blood in this group, and so happy for you guys to feel you can now be open about your love of guys in glasses. Look forward to hearing more from all of you :)

scott 23 Sep 2012, 06:36

Sounds wonderful Jim. Do you go on lenschat.com?

Jim 23 Sep 2012, 06:23

Got back mid morning. Instant chemistry just like when we met on the underground. Been introduced to the alternatives to pictures.

So pleased you guys have felt able to discuss how you are feeling.

scott 23 Sep 2012, 04:18

Thank you Greg for being so supportive. Yesterday I registered with lenschat.com and chatted to several people. Hope to speak to you there.

Phillip 23 Sep 2012, 03:34

Greg it's good to hear your story. It can be a lonely life using thick lenses and pictures to satisfy our needs. Maybe there are only three of us who feel like this, but at least we are not alone.

I hope Jim is able to update us on how his evening went. I cant imagine being with a real myope, with thick glasses, and not a photo.

GreginColo 22 Sep 2012, 15:38

Hi Scott; I am definately like you in that regard, so there's at least two of us and I am sure many more if truth were to be known, and have only recently opened up about it and finally got the courage to share the locker room sighting that I had a while back. It's good to know there are others who have this fascination and can talk with one another about it, and possibly share pictures, stories, etc. Congratulations on expanding your comfort zone to be able to take the big step to open up and share this important part of your (and others of us) life and of who you are. Regards, Greg.

scott 22 Sep 2012, 15:17

Trying to come to terms about being open. It was my secret for so long. It is such a big part of my life. No, it is my life. I live and breathe strong glasses on guys.

How many more are like me?

GreginColo 22 Sep 2012, 14:01

I am always interested/curious about how and when other guys developed or became aware of their interest in myopic guys, so I will be sharing my personal story on this in the near future now that I am more comfortable that I am not the only one in the world with this unusual, but exciting, fascination. Philip and Scott, I am pretty similar to you guys in how I "handle" this fascination, so if you would want to chat or exchange some of your favorite pictures sometime, I would be open to that, although I am away from the computer much of the day, probably a good thing. My email was posted a few posts back. Greg, (aka myopmanfan.)

Phillip 22 Sep 2012, 09:04

Thanks GreginColo, I am so pleased to have posted a thread.

scott I am like you, a closet optical obsessive and gay too. I practise my obsession at home, in private, by wearing thick glasses and using pictures of highly myopic guys to arouse me. I would love to be Jim tonight.

GreginColo 22 Sep 2012, 08:20

Jim; thanks for sharing with us about your upcoming meeting with Jack; hope it goes well.

Scott & Phillip; welcome and thanks for taking the initiatives to make your first posts; that's what keeps this thread going and interesting to those of us who are myopmanfans.

scott 22 Sep 2012, 05:44

After years of reading both the old/new eyescene posts and all vision-and-spex messages I have come out of the woodwork and posted myself for the first time.

Jim your experiences with the -29 guy has made me very jealous. My experiences are restricted to wearing medium goc glasses at home and going onto every link published on this thread on eyescene. Over the years I have downloaded hundreds/ thousands of images and printed many. The twelve best pictures of hunky sexy guys in thick glasses, all but one are high minus, have been framed and hang in my bedroom.

My own real experience is with the goc at home. I've never actually had enough courage to chat to a real myope but admit to having followed plenty around shopping malls just to get that extra glimpse. At home I put in my contacts and enjoy the minus 11 glasses infront of the twelve pictures. They are stimulating and I am sure many guys understand how they bring gratification.

Jim I can only imagine what will happen tonight. Enjoy every minute.

Phillip 22 Sep 2012, 03:41

I have read eyescene for so long but never posted.

Jim you are doing what many of us would love to do but dare not. I look at guys in thick glasses but dare not speak to them. Enjoy tonight!!

kiwi 22 Sep 2012, 02:04

Jim, will you be wearing glasses for tonight's meeting with Jack?

peter 22 Sep 2012, 01:41

You are a lucky guy Jim.

Jim 22 Sep 2012, 01:30

I plucked up courage to phone the guy, I now know he is called Jack, and we are meeting up this evening for a drink. Now it really is OMG

Gregin Colo, I'll share a photo if Jack is happy about it.

GreginColo 21 Sep 2012, 21:55

Guest; you can email me at gbruny@hotmail.com

guest 21 Sep 2012, 20:00

Gregin Colo - is there a way to write to you? I may have an additional place for you to share your story

Gregin Colo 21 Sep 2012, 18:14

Thanks, Tinyeyes, for your feedback; glad you enjoyed the recount of my locker room experience where a fairly myopic guys was bare-eyed for a bit longer than he expected. It was kind of stimulating to remember it in enough details to put it into writing to share. Speaking of words, some of your comments about the guys you post on the GWTG site are just about as hot, and stimulating, as the pictures themselves.

Please keep up the good work. I do have another true-life story of a higher myopic guy forced to go bare-eyed for most of a day, that I need to get put on paper to share with others.

Jim, thanks for you sighting of cute -29 guy in London. If you ever happen to get a picture of him, I hope you consider sharing. Thanks

kiwi 21 Sep 2012, 14:10

Jim, you are such a lucky guy. I live in London and have never seen this adonis. Please keep us posted on any developments.

Jim 21 Sep 2012, 10:47

Just been on London Underground. Since the Olympics people chat to eachother more. I sat next to a beautiful guy with short dark hair, tanned complexion, slim build wearing very tight and revealing trousers. My eyes moved upward to his face. He had the thickest minus glasses I'd ever seen, all the usual attributes, cut-in, power rings and lens thickness. Best of all, the tiniest squint when he looked around. Aroused and excited I was desperate to chat to him. When he turned to me and started to converse it was heavenly. After some time I gathered the courage to ask about his glasses. Myopic since a little boy, now aged 27, he wears minus 29D myos, and for real.

He gave me his phone number, omg.

tnyeyes 21 Sep 2012, 08:43

Wow, the locker room story is great! Things like this don't happen too often. I know it was a frustrating time for the guy, and I don't wish that on him (since the same thing could easily happen to me) but the silver lining was that it was an exciting experience for you (and you helped him.) Even if a made up story, this is good, but it almost sounds "stranger than fiction". Thanks for sharing.

Gregin Colo 20 Sep 2012, 20:32

I wanted to share an interesting happening of recent. I went to my gym a little later than normal as I didn�t have to work that day. One area of the gym has an oval track that is 1/16 of a mile, so I usually walk it every morning 16 times to get a mile in; I don�t run much anymore due to my middle aged knees. Inside the oval are cardio machines and around the outer edge of the oval are various weight machines, so I try to include some of each in my workout. While I would like to say I go the gym to keep in shape, that�s just part of it. I also like to see myopic (the more so the better) guys working out in their glasses or switching from contacts to glasses or visa-versa.

That day, just as I was getting ready to leave, a nice looking guy, I�m guessing mid-40�s came in wearing some quite attractive, but pretty powerful glasses, I would guess around -10�s, give or take a diopter or two either way. He settled into one of the weight machines outside the track so I decided to walk an extra mile or two, since I didn�t have to rush off to work. I tried to make some eye contact with him on my laps around but he seemed more interested in his workout . After about 20 minutes, I noticed he was gone, so I decided to head to the showers (one large room with about a dozen showerheads) just in case he was also showering. Sure enough, he was in there but with no sign of his glasses, and just the two of us in the shower room as the normal morning rush has already passed. Given my own situation I was hoping I could see him better than he could me, which proved to be the case with how close he had to stick has face to the wall to see the soap/shampoo dispenser. I was presuming he left his glasses in the sink area outside the shower room, as guys often do, but I hadn�t noticed them there. He left the shower area, so I made sure my towel was tightly in place and did the same. He was in the locker bank across the aisle from mine so I could see as he squinted his nose into the various lockers looking for his clothing, and probably most importantly, his glasses. I could tell he was becoming frustrated/panicked so decided to see if I could assist, so I walked across the aisle, still holding my towel firmly in place, introduced myself, and asked if he needed help. He said he was certain he had left his clothes (both gym and street) , keys , and glasses, in one of those lockers but now could not find them, and could not see very well at all without his glasses, which is why he usually didn�t even bring a lock in.

felt sorry for the guy but was also excited about the situation, keeping good hold on my own towel. He never offered his name back, but I told him I would quickly dress and see what I could do to help him. Again I was glad the locker room was pretty empty and he could not see me very well. While I quickly dressed, he continued to peer his face into the various lockers, but no success. I then explained to him that I could sympathize with his situation as I used to be pretty myopic myself, before lasik (yes, a mistake). I asked him if he had extra glasses or contacts, or clothes, in his car that I could retrieve for him. He said he hadn�t been able to wear contacts for a couple of years and he did have prescription sunglasses in the car but his keys were in the same place as his clothes and glasses. His myopic lack of focus seemed to be of great frustration to him, and would be expected for someone of his script, so I asked him if he lived nearby and I could go retrieve spare glasses or a spare set of keys from his spouse or roommate. No, he lived alone, he said.

We finally concluded that likely someone else had accidently snapped their lock shut on the locker where his stuff was , as there were occupied but unlocked lockers of either side of the one he thought was his, but which had a lock on it. I offered to go ask club management to make an announcement so see if we could find the lock owner. Just then, another guy walked up, realized his mistake, apologized , and quickly opened the locked locker. Sure enough, there were Myoguy�s clothes, keys, and most importantly to him, his glasses; I never saw someone so happy to get their glasses back on their face. He dressed quickly and mumbled a thanks. I asked him if he wanted to grab a coffee, but he said he needed to get on his way, likely still feeling pretty embarrassed, which I tried to downplay. I was hoping I might run into him again sometime, but haven�t, but this definitely made for an exciting day at the gym, as well as some interesting memories.

Julian 20 Sep 2012, 08:46

I really enjoy a TV quiz game called Blockbusters which is shown on the Challenge channel here in the UK. At the moment they're showing editions from 1992, which are far more fun than the series of new ones they put on a few months ago. These old ones have senior school kids as contestants (so they must now be in their late 30s!) and the winners got great prizes for themselves and sometimes for their schools as well. A single player competes against a team of two; and for a while this week all three contestants were boys with glasses - round glasses, all of them, and all different! The single player (short dark hair) had retro round tortoiseshell frames, with, I think, a low minus Rx. One of the others (untidy shoulder-length dark hair) had black wire frames with a high joint, and his partner, definitely the cutest of the three, had short dark hair and low joint gold frames, like Harry Potter's but without the black covering. What's more, in due course the single guy was eliminated and was replaced by a girl who also wore round glasses - big gold frames and plus lenses. Oh well, it was good while it lasted!

Julian 15 Sep 2012, 11:33

Shopping in Tesco this afternoon, I spotted another good-looking guy with glasses manning a till. I wasn't able to join the line for him to deal with my few purchases; but I did manage a look at him. He was slim and fairly tall with short dark hair, and his glasses had wire fronts (I think), black temples with a white line running along the bottom edge, and minus lenses, not negligible. A nice sight.

jo 15 Sep 2012, 00:08

the -30 is for real!

GreginColo 14 Sep 2012, 20:58

Thanks JO for the great new material, especially the vidoes; as other have mentioned, they are pretty hot.

James 14 Sep 2012, 06:44

Jo - I also want to add a thank you for these amazing guys. Is the guy in the videos for real or a GOC. Doesn't make much difference but would add some degree of hotness to know it was a real Rx

Dave 14 Sep 2012, 01:02

Hi Jo -- I agree with tinyeyes, the guys you have posted are awesome. The -30 in the videos is so hot, but then again, so are so many of the others. I have begun to appreciate, more and more, all of the Asian guys here in S.F. who are so amazingly myopic and good-looking, too. My next door neighbor has just returned from three months in Taiwan and looking better than ever in his new glasses. I'll bet he's at least a -11 in his left eye and at least a -10 in the right. Totally hot in a nerdy sort of way. And as for the guy who takes care of my car ... well, what can I say. He's so cute and his glasses kind of put the frosting on the cake. Keep posting!!

tinyeyes 14 Sep 2012, 00:30

Jo, your latest album was just what I needed this morning. Damn, I could get really spoiled on these high prescription guys! Anything less than 12 diopters seems like nothing now! The guy in the videos, particularly, is amazing.

Jo 13 Sep 2012, 06:25

More Asian Guys...

Cactus Jack 12 Sep 2012, 11:08

Julian,

For the "upper half" half glasses to work really well, the Rx needs to be very nearly the same in both eyes, little or no astigmatism, and an Rx of -2.50 or less.

Julian 12 Sep 2012, 10:56

I've just been away for a few days in a group led by two guys in their early fifties. The cuter one (fair hair, dimples) wore rimless glasses with a low minus prescription and usually took them off to read. The other also wore rimless glasses, also minus and a bit stronger, which he never seemed to take off; BUT the lenses were shallow/narrow from top to bottom and he wore them high on his nose, so that he was looking under them to read, rather like half-moon readers in reverse - logical enough, but this is only the second time I've seen anyone use minus glasses that way

07 Sep 2012, 22:00

Some great looking, and very smart, myopic anchors on MSNBC, including Chris Hayes, Ezra Klein, Steve Kornacki, Sam Seder, etc, almost always seen in their glasses, some fairly high power. Myopmanfan

Romeo 04 Sep 2012, 08:11

Great to see you again here Tamas, so are you really -9 now? Any chance of getting in contact with you? Do you use skype, facebook or msn/yahoo messenger?

sam12744 03 Sep 2012, 17:54

Hi Tamas,

Great to hear from you; you have been missed!

Jim 03 Sep 2012, 11:12

Relieved to hear you're okay -14. Don't know how I thought you used a wheelchair.

Tamas good to get your message here. Your pictures are surely missed by many of us.

Tamas 03 Sep 2012, 10:51

Hey guys!!

Here I am, I was informed that someone asked about me here... and well, here I am!

Still alive lol :)

-14 03 Sep 2012, 10:38

Jim

well after a quick trip to Lourdes I am now wheelchair free! Actually never have needed one. Oh, Tam is as goodlooking as ever.

Jim 03 Sep 2012, 08:04

But any guy in thick glasses looks hot.

Jim 03 Sep 2012, 06:05

Tamas always looked really sexy.

Romeo 03 Sep 2012, 03:44

Thank you guys for your replies.

Well, yes, I think I was talking about Tamas. I didn't remember the name at first...

I am very happy to hear that he is not needing a wheelchair now. Looks strange to me as he seemed to be a fulltime user but well, that's good for him.

You guys know these details because you're still in contact with him?

Very cool that he's a -9 now, he must be very sexy with them!!

Jim 02 Sep 2012, 05:27

Sorry, last post was from me.

02 Sep 2012, 02:10

-14 that is good news about Tamas not needing a wheelchair or crutches. How about you -14, are you still a wheelchair user?

-14 01 Sep 2012, 22:36

Tamas is now a legit -9 and no longer needs a wheelchair or crutches.

Krieger 01 Sep 2012, 19:28

Yes Tamas18 used GOC as a matter of fact he used to do the front page for all the guys with glasses groups but then he decided to leave and withdrew all his pictures. I have some in an old computer, I guess

sam12744 01 Sep 2012, 17:33

Romeo,

Could the Italian guy be Tamas? He wore -14 (goc), is very good looking and uses a wheelchair.

tivosesante 01 Sep 2012, 10:51

romero, i don't know who you might mean about the guy from spain or italy, but posibly the guy from south america could be thyago......if so i have an archive on him, including videos.....

Romeo 01 Sep 2012, 10:41

Hello people,

I am an old fan of ES.

I used to browse also the old "Guys in Glasses" yahoo groups, and I loved some of the guys I saw there.

Before they will be deleted (sadly I think it will happen soon) I want to create my own archive of cute guys in glasses.

I was looking at the pics in the group and I sadly noticed that some have disappeared.

I remember of a great looking guy wearing very strong glasses (I think about -12), European from Spain, or Italy.

I think he had a SCI and used a wheelchair in some photos.

His pics are not in the club. Do any of you remember him or is still in contact? I'd love to see how he looks now and if he has stronger rx!

I remember also another guy from South America, with some great prism glasses and a slight strabismus.

Same: do you remember him or are in contact?

Thanks

kiwi 01 Sep 2012, 09:53

That was great Kevin

James 31 Aug 2012, 02:41

Here's an article where Jake Peavy says he has astigmatism and can only be corrected to 20/40. He says these things in the context of not being able to see the catcher's signals during the game.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/ct-spt-0723-white-sox-bits--20120723,0,7659486.story

Also, lots of new photos of some serious myopes here:

sydneycider 31 Aug 2012, 01:25

@ Tinyeyes I kinda thort he'd be higher than -6 but I think I'm better with plus rx's these days. Still quite a rare find down here, down under :)

tinyeyes 31 Aug 2012, 00:50

This player was -12/-11.5 before surgery! Amazing! Oh, to have seen him with his glasses...!

http://youtu.be/KRwHbnCAsck

Thanks for the link with the baseball player.

There was another pro player who had ICL eye surgery who was even more myopic ( -11 or more) but I could never find pics of him in glasses. This guy is hot! Looks like he's about -6 or so? It's always surprising to see someone from pro sports in a stronger RX.

kiwi 30 Aug 2012, 01:13

hi nzoptic

From Northland, and you? Living in London at the present playing rugby for a gay team.

Present lifestyle in UK more accepting of me wearing strong spex goc. Also many more guys here with powerful glasses, even two on the team goc as well.

NZOPTIC 29 Aug 2012, 22:29

Kiwi are you from New Zealand?, I am

Which is best site to view highly myopic guys in thick glasses?

only me 27 Aug 2012, 14:47

I agree Julian keep up and you have your on tread for a long time and you have also been here a very long time I found Eyescene when I got internet in 1995 and from what I can remember you were already there back then. Oh dear what memorys I can�t describe the feeling when I found the site I as many others believed I was the only one with this fetish or attraction for guys in glasses !!

My very best...

Juicebox 26 Aug 2012, 19:27

Julian,

Please don't listen to them! Post on your thread! It's got your name on it after all :)

Julian 26 Aug 2012, 11:48

Thanks Sam. Just to follow up on another jotting (6 June on J*****'s j******s) I went shopping for a few items at Tesco this afternoon (unusual for me on a Sunday) and for the first time since I mentioned him was assisted by Scott, whom I described then. The boy is definitely somewhat myopic.

sam12744 26 Aug 2012, 09:24

Julian,

Nice sightings. Don't let the b**tards grind you down!

Julian 26 Aug 2012, 06:56

Two jottings from Julian ( I'm posting them here to avoid any more flak!):

I had an engineer round the other day to attend to my dishwasher, and he did a brilliant job, repairing the electronics with a soldering iron! He was a big butch guy, not a beauty in any way, but very pleasant and efficient. I did however find his glasses interesting. The frames were fairly ordinary in shape, in dark blue wire, but the lenses fascinated me. As I watched him at work, there would be minification at one moment and magnification at the next - a clear case of mixed astigmatism (plus in one meridian and minus at right angles to it).

Later the same day I went to a supermarket filling station for fuel, and the cashier was a delicious young man: pale complexion, dark hair, moderate minus lenses in black wayfarer frames - quite made my day!

tinyeyes 24 Aug 2012, 01:14

Jo: Thank you, thank you for your photos. What a paradise of incredibly myopic guys you seem to live in! I think my current favorite is the muscular -19 hottie in Asian Guys 3.

Jo 21 Aug 2012, 20:56

unfortunately, that guy doesn't have a page. he's someone i picked up from the streets.

lovegwg 21 Aug 2012, 09:31

post that page of -30 guy

please

lovegwg.. i do have, but they are from all over the place that its hard for me to consolidate. besides, all the sites are in Chinese and you will have a hard time navigating, unless you know the language.

here's one: bf99.com.. you check it out.

lovegwg 21 Aug 2012, 05:55

re jo

if you have their links of skype oovoo or facebook or anywhere you found them post it i like to become their friend

And in yesterday's Lightweight Men's Double Sculls Final A at Eton Dorney, Stany Delayre, wins gold for glasses. During the line-up for restart, TV coverage showed him pulling off his specs to clear a lens. That's at 2h54m58s into the BBC replay.

Plenty of pics online: http://franceolympique.com/art/3077-3_questions_a..._stany_delayre.html

JP 29 Jul 2012, 13:47

Omar Assar played Table Tennis for Egypt at the Olympics yesterday and yes, he was wearing specs. He looks to have mid-range myopia, certainly dependent, and the commentator commented that he's one of the few to wear specs.

Dave 25 Jul 2012, 10:59

tinyeyes -- If you want to replicate a -34's visual "experience" why don't you buy some +20 contacts on-line which would give you an approximately -30 prescription. I'm sure that you'd find that you'd only see blobs and that your nighttime vision would be nearly non-existent.

If you wanted to correct your "new" vision with glasses and by factoring in a vertex distance requiring another -4 of lens strength, you'd probably be replicating Mr. -34s visual experience pretty closely without his very high astigmatism of -6.

Cactus Jack 24 Jul 2012, 12:27

tinyeyes,

Thanks. You might be able to get an idea of the difference in uncorrected blurriness by trying on the strongest readers you can find without your glasses. However, the very best way would be to ask your Eye Care Professional to let you try some +10 lenses in his trial frame and then some +20s or the highest + lenses he has. With your Rx, the +20s would be pretty close to needing -30 glasses. While you might see some difference, I really doubt you would be able to identify any unfamiliar object at any distance other than very close without correction.

If you get a chance to try it, please let us know your impressions of significantly more uncorrected myopia than you have.

Remember that optically, all glasses or contacts do is neutralize or cancel out existing refractive errors. In your case, your eye's optical system has about 8 dippers (with adjustment for vertex distance) more plus than it needs to focus an images on your retina and your minus lenses cancel that out. To simulate higher myopia, you just need some additional external plus from either contacts or glasses. Contacts would really be best, but trial lenses work just fine.

tivosesante 24 Jul 2012, 07:35

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_mYjQ-Nm0k bringing a little humor into the room

tinyeyes 24 Jul 2012, 00:06

Thanks, Cactus Jack.

OK, here's my latest eyeglass RX:

OD -9.5-.75 x 180

OS -9.25-.50 x 180

Cactus Jack 23 Jul 2012, 06:44

tinyeyes,

Once an image gets really blurry with just some colored blobs, more blurry doesn't make much difference. A -20 eye focuses at 5 cm or about 2 inches. A -34 eye focuses at about 3 cm or just a bit over an inch. With that much myopia, it is very likely that the eyeball is significantly elongated and the retina is not a perfectly smooth section of a sphere. On top of that, vertex distance effects in glasses would be about 0.4 diopters per mm at -20 and over 1 diopter per mm at -34 so keeping the glasses at the correct distance from the cornea can be a problem. Of course, any correction would be better than none. -20 contacts are available on line and higher values can be custom made. Theoretically, contacts should be better than glasses, at least for a significant part of the correction, because they are on the surface of the cornea. A better solution would be internal "contact" lenses because the lenses are closer to the optimal location within the eye and there is little or no vertex distance caused minification of the images.

If you could provide your Rx, I might be able to suggest an experiment so you can get a better idea of what is going on visually, with high myopia.

tinyeyes 23 Jul 2012, 00:17

Thanks for the insight, Dave. Very interesting.... so the vision without correction isn't that different, but the vision with glasses is. It sort of makes sense. At -34, the distortion and minification are so extreme, it would be difficult to deal with for sure. I would think contacts, even gas permeable, would be very thick and uncomfortable at that level of RX. From what I understand, the edge of the contact lens has a limit of how thick it can be, and of course at -34 would need to be very thick indeed. The lens would have to have an edge without prescription around the edge so it could be thinner, similar to the myodisc eyeglasses also needed at this level. I don't know if that's possible with gas perms or with soft lenses, or with either. I guess this is the wrong forum for such technical questions. At any rate, -34 is a very interesting RX!

Dave 22 Jul 2012, 16:14

Tinyeyes -- I'd expect that there's no significant visual difference between an uncorrected -20 and an uncorrected -34: you just can't see much of anything. The difference corrected is where the rubber meets the road. There's no way Mr. -34 could have normal vision with glasses, and I doubt he could drive. That said, everyone is different and a couple of people I know who are in their low -20s see pretty well -- well enough to drive with glasses and not contacts. Speaking of contacts, I'm sure they're available in that strength (probably gas permeable, not soft) although he might be one of those people who can't wear them successfully.

tinyeyes 21 Jul 2012, 02:36

Wow. -34, for real? I would like to know more about guys like this. Are they handicapped or do they have normal vision with glasses? Can they drive?

With -34, what would the blur without glasses be like? I would think that you literally would have to feel for your glasses. It would be almost like being blind. How about contacts? Are they a possibility? At what RX level do they become impractical? I would certainly enjoy spending some time with Mr. -34. As extreme as it is, I'm sure these stratospheric RXs are more common in Asia.

Jo 20 Jul 2012, 03:35

A good looking -34 for real! check him out!

hi Tinyeyes, unfortunately, that is the only pic i could get out of him.. apparently, yes, he is indeed -30.. perhaps even more since his last change of specs was like 5 years ago. and he claims that his vision is deteriorating...how he functions without his glasses is really up to our imagination...very wild ones i have. :)

Jamie32 17 Jul 2012, 08:01

AdamB 17 Jul 2012, 06:46

Hi all,

Not posted on here since 2004 but have been reading the thread every so often. Following on from Tinyeyes guyswiththickglasses blog I thought I'd do one of my own and put all the pics i've been collecting over the years into one place. There aren't really any with really strong prescriptions and some may well have been posted elsewhere previously. I've currently uploaded 57 pics and will follow up with more over the next few days.

tinyeyes 16 Jul 2012, 00:29

The guy in picture 71 (with -30 glasses) blows my mind! I would love to see more pics of him. If it's really his RX, I would like to see how he deals with wearing them and also not wearing them! I find the extremely tiny eyes so hot. What must his vision be like without those glasses?

Dave 15 Jul 2012, 10:43

Jo -- Many thanks for sharing these Asian shots. The -14 guy shown in #141 - 147 is really good-looking. BTW, mixed in with all of the Chinese is a rather unusual -- but good-looking -- white guy with incredibly thick myodiscs. Must be well past -20 and might be more like -25. Looks like these shots were taken somewhere in eastern Europe. Any ideas?

William 20 Jun 2012, 22:05

Does Josh on GMA wear contacts?

lentifan 16 Jun 2012, 11:32

I don't think so. The new specs seem to be mild minus. They may be readers but, if so, his distance Rx must now be a less mild minus.

I suspect lensectomies, perhaps due to cataracts, or perhaps implants.

tinyeyes 16 Jun 2012, 10:55

He's probably wearing readers over contacts in the second picture, don't you think?

JP 15 Jun 2012, 01:33

Not at all someone who'd normally get my attention, but I can't help but notice Bank of England Governor Mervyn King's strong rx. Try this for size: http://www.investmentinsider.eu/index/u/united-kingdom/mervyn-king

But on yesterday's news, only the slightest prescription: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18448636

A very public GOC.

JP 15 Jun 2012, 01:29

You're welcome, tinyeyes. Zuckerberg certainly looks more interesting with specs. I guess he didn't expect to have his image captured this way.

tinyeyes 12 Jun 2012, 23:22

Thanks for the links. Mark Zuckerberg's RX seems slightly less strong than I had thought, but he's still quite blind! I'm surprised he's being photographed again in glasses -- is he tiring of contacts?

The Marlboro dude is definitely a fake or GOC fetishist. Besides the fact his Rx seems to increase by about -5D with each new round of videos, he also panders more to the OO demographic than any real myope would.

That said, he's still hot!

tivosesante 24 May 2012, 20:12

i have to apologize for being so cynical about the marlboro man.......he actually led me to lots of links and he and i aparently have the same or at least very simular predilections and as usual if i go spotting it, i wind up gotting it.........what can i tell, sorry man no offence.........

I, Glasses

I think this is a Youtube of the guy you are looking for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4RREUmSF5o

I, Glasses 09 May 2012, 08:22

Several months (maybe a year or so) ago, there was a post about an Italian fellow, a relative young man, who was somehow well-connected politically, if I remember correctly, who wore glasses with a very significant minus prescription. Seems like there was a link, or links, to photos or videos of him. I tried to find it yesterday, to no avail. I don't remember the thread; I thought/assumed it was 'Guys in Glasses,' but that may not be the case. Can any of you direct me to that post? Thanks.

ksnl 22 Apr 2012, 03:50

Wow... I always figured he wore glasses... I didn't expect it to be that good! I'd say -10 at least too... but I'm not that great at estimating...

tinyeyes 22 Apr 2012, 01:32

A better photo just surfaced!

http://www.justjared.com/photo-gallery/2527251/mark-zuckerberg-beast-walk-01/fullsize/

Wow, he's about -10 (at least, don't you think?), out on morning dog walk before putting contacts in. Love it!

tinyeyes 21 Apr 2012, 22:59

Oh, I'm sorry, that wasn't even Mark Zuckerberg in the right side photo, it was Justin Timberlake. I was so excited I didn't even realize it!

OK, well, even better then, the one photo looks like Mark is packing some pretty strong lenses. He might even be close to my other elusive celebrity favorite, Jake Gyllenhaal, who has to be over -10D.

tinyeyes 21 Apr 2012, 22:57

Ah! I love it! I knew Zuckerberg wore contacts and somehow I just knew he was a high myope. The pics are difficult to tell (left photo looks much stronger than right photo) but I'm hoping he's at least a -7. Yes!

Interestingly, the actor who portrayed him -- Jesse Eisenberg -- is also quite nearsighted! http://nikkikoala90.tumblr.com/post/3302678932

I think Zuckerberg's eyes are even worse than Jesse's, though.

I do GOC for -10 and -20 glasses. I can tell you that with either I need to hold things almost to the tip of my nose to read them.

this guy i'll call him jj for now has been kind enough to allow me to take a few fotos of him........i'm slowly getting to know him and find him facinating and of course his glasses are outrageously thick and strong https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/OSUnseA1TGZ8kUc8ilbO-ULk4yucyuIEdgCQWYChNGI?feat=directlink...you will have to transfer this address to your address bar.............

Cactus Jack 18 Apr 2012, 15:02

If a person is very myopic, it is reasonable that they may need minus glasses to read at a comfortable distance. For example, if a person needs to wear -10 glasses, that would mean that anything beyond 10 cm or 4 inches would be very blurry. There is more to reading at distance of 10 cm or 4 cm than just focus. Your eyes have to converge quite a bit to fuse the images of a page at that distance. It may not be very comfortable. Even wearing -5.00 glasses to read would move the near point focus out to 20 cm or 8 inches which would make reading a lot easier.

18 Apr 2012, 09:50

Tivo - I have also always found it interesting that he only puts his glasses on to read when it's obvious that they are not reading glasses but rather myopia glasses. I bet he can't even see the camera without them.

tivosesante 18 Apr 2012, 05:15

yeah, i know what you mean, someday i'm going to try and get some translations and see what he's about cuz you never know......i speak and understand spanish, but portuguese is a total mystery to me...............interesting that he only uses his glasses when he reads, seems to avoid using them at any other time.......

tiny eyes - Have a great time in SF! If I hadn't committed to hosting and cooking a sit-down birthday dinner for ten for Saturday night I'd ask you to meet up to have a drink. The next dinner (fourteen, no less!) is an early May citizenship dinner for my ex who is exceptionally cute when he wears his -2s. How do I get talked into these extravaganzas which push my limited space and my limited culinary skill set?! Oh, and thanks, Alan, for the wonderful pictures. Keep at it!

tinyeyes 12 Apr 2012, 23:56

Dave 11 Apr 2012, 09:38

tinyeyes -- many thanks for the great photos. Please keep on posting!! BTW, I had an amazing siting in the Castro: a mid-thirties, dark-haired handsome white guy with myodiscs nearly identical to those worn by that fellow with the Mohawk on your Tumblr site. I'd say they were at least -20, very thin (may have been high-index glass)and the bowls were about 25mm. The carriers were plus which really emphasized the power of his prescription. A rough guesstimate, I admit, but probably pretty close to what he was wearing. My only regret was that he was dining with friends and not at the bar on his own where I might have been able to chat him up.

Myopic Grant, I think he suffers from classic male pattern baldness, I know some young guys bald like him

Myopic Grant 14 Mar 2012, 20:28

Looks like a -10 to me. It's hard to tell from that small of a picture, but his face looks too young to that kind of hairline. Almost looks like he has one of those bald caps on that they use in theatre.

gwen 14 Mar 2012, 19:29

guy with thick minus lenses, nice despite the baldness, guess of his rx?

tivosesante 13 Mar 2012, 15:58

that's interesting dave, you may be right, i'm setting him up with the lion's club here for an eye exam and new script so we will know........i think he's in the low 20's, but he doesn't know himself...........

Dave 13 Mar 2012, 11:54

Tivo -- Thanks for sharing your collection! They're definitely last year's models but really interesting examples of the world of the high myope before high-index lenses. BTW, the picture of that black guy you posted a while back probably was wearing glasses with CR-39 lenses, too. They're seriously strong but the lens material and the oversize frames have exaggerated their strength. -15, perhaps?

Julian -- Nice sighting. There are a couple of major lookers in my athletic club who do the same thing. Real jocks who probably haven't even figured out that they might need correction. Probably hovering around -.75. Nothing serious but a small television set perched a good distance away from the sofa can challenge even near-perfect vision.

Tineyeyes - that guy is great! Love the cut-in. Also, what is the Cam4 handle of the guy you posted after him on the Tumblr? He is A-need to take a breath in the middle-MAZING. Tried squinting/enlarging the page etc but can't make it out from your screenshot.

PS - for what it's worth, the other person posting as James is not me, not that it matters all that much. But since I've been posting on Eyescene since at least 2000, I'm pretty sure I was first. Just always interesting that people feel the need to appropriate others' names.

tinyeyes 12 Feb 2012, 16:48

Recently discovered this guy. He calls himself the "world's strongest librarian". He's 6'8" and extremely nearsighted -- well over -10 -- and wears glasses much more than contacts. I like, a LOT.

I've seen a new ad for McDonald's coffee on TV the past few nights, featuring a man and a woman sitting on a park bench. He's wearing glasses with black, traditional-shaped frames and an actual prescription, with a cut-in that's noticeable when the camera catches his face from a three-quarter angle. I'd guess his Rx is about -2 to -3.

Tinyeyes,

Tried to post at your Thick Glasses site and keep getting an error message?

On Thick Glasses, recent very neat Chris Fink, would guess at least -9 or -10. The narrow frame with wide edge to hide the thickness, do you agree?

Some of your recent postings do not seem a very strong Rx but good looking guys.

Enjoy!

thanks miranda for reminding me of those great moments when i see someone here in tampa or whereever i am that has some really signifigant specs..............i spoke about this guy john sometime ago and then lost track of him, and again he showed up the day before yesterday with his ultra large and thick welfare glasses...the power rings are so strong becuase of the deep inset of the myodoscs.........all in all he appears to be about a -26d........he's tall, brawney and very dark(black) so his power rings come off like silverdiamonds in the lucid sky......oh boy you gotta see this one to believe it......there was another one too in a dollar store about a month ago......this must be the capitol of high scripts..............as much as flicker and folkti are interesting sights, i think i'll reserve my energy for picasa web albums for now.............

Miranda 20 Dec 2011, 12:53

I had a nice sighting on my way home for Xmas. On a long flight from the US to Europe I was wearing glasses (~ -7) myself. I am a 99.5% contacts wearer so I always feel a little uncomfortable if I have to.

Anyways, the guy sitting next to me was really adorable and had facinating eyes with long lashes. We were talking for a while. When we were close to landing, he pulled some glasses out of his pocket. My heart skipped a beat, I couldn't believe it at first. They were black and huge, roundish nerd style. Not really strong though, -2 or so. This was really a nice surprise and I had to stop myself from staring at him all the time.

Dave 20 Dec 2011, 12:03

tinyeyes -- Thought you might want to post some really great batches of pictures on Tumblr that were posted this year in "Guys in Glasses": All4eyes on April 6 and lovegwg on June 3. Some choice shots that would be a pity to lose. Have a great Christmas!

yeah, thanks nate, that was really hilarious......let's not let this groupe die...the real only reason this groupe would suffer such a fate would be if we let it, unless some control freak that we have no control over is really in charge, and i don't mean god himself, cuase you know i don't really even know where this groupe comes from or who monitors it....i'm not that sabe at times and just take a lot for granted, anyway i beleive we can keep it alive, particularly if we keep our egos out of it......hugs..........tivo...........

Great Tumblr Tinyeyes - i'll be checking in regularly.

Particularly like those two CAM4 guys - only ever seen catachip live though and on that occasion he came on his glasses and then took them off to clean them. It was almost like I had scripted how the whole thing should go!

Also love the guy with the sidenote about being too nearsighted for LASIK and saving up for ICL's - where did you find him?

Partly because of the impending closure of this site, I have started my own tumblr blog to post my photos and links on. You guys are welcome to follow.

There may be some photos that came from sources here on Eyescene -- if you want me to take down an image you feel is your own, you can let me know.

There are a lot of pages with guys in glasses on Tumblr, but I didn't see any specifically about strong glasses, so that is my focus.

Look up Robert Mcdermott 101 on youtube (sorry I can't get links to work this morning). Nice looking young man with pretty strong + glasses. In his latest video, he is not wearing glasses. He says they were broken in a fight, and in a comment he says his RX is +7. Surprising that he isn't particularly concerned about not having glasses given his RX--he must be pretty uncomfortable.

royboy 06 Nov 2011, 15:42

thanks Guest, i did not know that the vid was of a celeb. i checked out some of the project runway skits that Santanos is in, without glasses and has a much fuller beard - he kind of looks very earthy and scruffy wouldnt even think he was the same guy [and not too sexy in my humple opinion]. but here ie really hit the spot - i really feel like i connected with him [would absolutely LOVE to meet him in person!] possibly in the vid he is much younger. born in 1974 so he is pushing 40.

talking of celebs - here is one of those gorgeous JONAS brothers whom ive recently noticed wearing glasses - and i had assumed that he had jumped on the band-wagon wearing those fake 'nerd' glasses like so many other other celebs are doing these days [yes i'm talking about you, my lovey-dovey, Justin B.].

thanks for the vid, tivosante!

he so mesmerizing! just the perfect man with the perfect glasses (that are so naturally a part of him). add those delicious lips to the scenerio - and you have the perfect man! I wish there was more vids of him......yum, yum...it would be heaven to meet or see him in the flesh.

See Krzysztof Rozycki who appears 21 seconds into the clip at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15555352 What do you think about this guy's "look"? He's got a great face and smile, less keen on the frames, but he has the confidence to make me say they suit him.

JP 03 Nov 2011, 17:17

Thanks royboy. I like that this guy has the courage not only to be open about his sexuality, but also to wear his glasses.

I thought the same about Awalaki's glasses when I saw the media flood us with pictures of him. I paid too much attention to the glasses he wore in the pictures and had a certain guilt about it.

http://www.longwarjournal.org/threat-matrix/images/Awlaki.jpg

Tinyeyes 02 Oct 2011, 10:05

I hate when I find unsavory characters and criminals attractive. But google Anwar al-Awlaki. He wore quite a strong minus prescription in a variety of frames.

tinyeyes 30 Sep 2011, 00:27

Those are great sightings too, Dave... Even better is when the gym jock can't wear contacts and shows up one day for a workout in thick glasses... occasionally it happens!

Dave 29 Sep 2011, 15:29

Hi tinyeyes -- Yes, that sounds like a great sighting. This morning in the Mission I spotted a reasonably good-looking Middle Eastern type with -11/-12 glasses in a very trendy "geek-style" frame. The frame was ever so slightly oversized which really emphasized the power of the lenses. Flat fronts, of course, and major cut-in. When he looked at his cell phone he got closer than normal to see the screen. Clearly straight as he couldn't take his hands off his g/f.

Best yet for me are the hot, straight young guys in my club who just haven't acknowledged their myopia. There are a couple of major dolls who really need a bit of correction who can be seen most days trying not to squint too much at the tv (albeit a small one) in one of our locker room lounges. They always hold their heads back slightly and lower their lids just enough to get things into "better" focus. Somehow weak eyes doesn't comport with their jock image.

tinyeyes 29 Sep 2011, 00:53

I don't usually post sightings anymore, but at the gym today I had a good one -- tall young (late 20s maybe) Asian guy with VERY thick glasses. I think they were around -14 or -15, and didn't seem to be myodiscs. The lenses were over a quarter inch thick and polished. When I saw him he was finished with his workout, adjusting his glasses, and headed to the locker room. I went in there a few minutes later, and he was taking a shower, with no glasses anywhere in sight, which amazed me because of his strong prescription. I couldn't exactly hang around waiting for him to come out of the shower, although I really wanted to, to see how he would find and put on his glasses. I came back in a few more minutes later, and he was dressed and the coke bottles were on, of course. It was a fantastic sighting -- I don't see attractive guys with prescriptions that strong more than once or twice a year.

JP 27 Sep 2011, 14:01

I was travelling on the Tube the other day when a straight couple, both about 30, sat opposite. An unusual eye-catcher for me in that he wore a healthy plus prescription (Hard to estimate but perhaps +4.00) in a cute semi-rimless frame with those temples that get wider half way down.

I have to say he looked gorgeous, his eyes magnified, and a handsome body to go with his glasses. I wouldn't have given him so much attention if it wasn't for the glasses. Pleased to be surprised by this plussy.

as fate would have it, i ran into this guy twice before actually, three encounters all toll, so on the third i decided to stop and talk with him, turns out he's homeless and so i releived his plight a bit and asked his permission to take a few fotos..............he's blind in one eye and both lenses in his glasses are incredibly thick and myodisc in construction..he did'nt seem to know what his script was and also seemed to have no prescription on him........i would say he's around -30 d...as soon as i get home, i'll upload them onto my picasa web album and send them out...............

tivosesante 17 Sep 2011, 07:34

yes joe, thankyou, and well done, i myself am slowly putting together a picasa 3 album and found yours full of many really strong scripts and handsome guys..........incidentally while in n..y.c. yesterday i saw a guy with the strongest glasses ever, at least 3/4 in. thick.................

Tinyeyes 16 Sep 2011, 08:06

Wow, that's great, Jo. So does your partner wear contacts, or glasses full-time? What about you?

Jo 16 Sep 2011, 07:15

Yeah.. i live in Asia, and there are indeed alot of sightings. It helps that i'm versed in both English and Chinese which allows me to search for many of these asian guys. and i'm happy to share that i've finally found a partner, who is -18.

tinyeyes 15 Sep 2011, 23:25

Wow Jo.... what a collection! I've seen a lot of these pics before, but so many I've never seen! Did you live in Asia to collect so many of the Asian pics? There are a lot of dream guys in those albums.... thanks for posting it all.

I have to say, I love the photo of the optometrist's RX for -11.25/-12.25. A dream RX, and pure poetry. 8-)

Wow, I've watched his ghost show on Travel Channel before, but he's never worn his glasses, yet from looking at his archive pictures, he wears them a lot. He has a good body,..would love a picture of him wearing glasses with his shirt off! I'd say he's around a -6 or -7.

Not really glasses-related (and a little morbid, sorry), but George Tiller, the guy in that video (a "late-term" abortion provider) was actually murdered, during a church service, in May 2009.

Interestingly (again in a morbid way), he was shot at close range in the eye.

Thanks for the link, Tony. His lenses look thick (not very high index) and there is no ar coating, which makes the glasses look even stronger with nice reflections. Nice.

Royboy: you are so right about Prince William, that's a particularly good shot of him. Three comments:

(1) Seems to me he isn't as shy about appearing in public in his glasses as he used to be. Can this be Kate's influence?

(2) He isn't the only member of his generation of the Royal Family to wear glasses in public - remember his cousin Peter Phillips.

(3) Are those new glasses in that pic? They look to me like rimless or semi-rimless. As you say, sweet!

tinyeyes 12 Aug 2011, 00:59

James, totally agree -- there is something so sexy about the bald with glasses look. David King is one of my favorites -- it's the personality and voice (nerdy I guess, but masculine) along with the face and wonderful strong glasses.

Obsessed 11 Aug 2011, 13:31

I have always been into middle-aged men... :) Yum! Especially with glasses! My favorite type is latent hyperopes who suddenly realize they need glasses for distance at age 45 or so :)

But high myopes are pretty gorgeous, too! Love them!

James 11 Aug 2011, 12:05

Aaargggh....David KinG even

James 11 Aug 2011, 12:05

Tinyeyes and Obsessed: glad you like him too. I like him in the same sort of way I like that bald librarian guy on flickr, David Kind. Bald with glasses can be a hot combo!

What I also like is that he doesn't have the stereotypical shrinking violet type of personality one might ordinarily associate with a high myope. He is known to be quite defiant/abrasive/controversial when interviewing politicians.

tinyeyes 11 Aug 2011, 09:18

I love this picture of Nick. It really shows the high power of his lenses. He's probably pushed the glasses down on his nose to read something, which shows that (at least at the time of photo) he isn't in bifocals yet.

tinyeyes 11 Aug 2011, 09:15

James, thanks for posting Nick Robinson! Regardless of his age, he's cute and the high prescription is hot. I would agree that he's in the -9 or -10 range.

Obsessed 11 Aug 2011, 08:45

Wow! Very hot! And he's definitely got quite a few diopters in his glasses! I'd say 10?

James 11 Aug 2011, 03:42

I know not everyone is into that bald, middle-aged look, but I am (if the glasses Rx is right), so here goes.

Nick Robinson is the (head, I think) political correspondent for BBC news.

Jose Padilla is another good example. I definitely noticed him back when he was in the news (and maybe it was documented here on this message board as well.)

James 06 Aug 2011, 10:22

Tinyeyes - totally know what you mean. There is a lot of cognitive dissonance when what you find attractive diverges from your brain's logic. I remember thinking Dahmer was cute after watching a documentary about him years ago, and more recently, that José Padilla (convicted terrorist) was kinda sexy.

http://www.foxnews.com/images/338619/3_63_012208_padilla3.jpg

I guess attraction doesn't conform to rules of logic.

tinyeyes 06 Aug 2011, 09:51

I never heard of Warren Jeffs, but I have to admit I think he's kind of cute. I hate it when scary criminals are attractive (with glasses). Jeffrey Dahmer even had thick glasses. I could have been his victim because I would have been super attracted to him in glasses. Frightening...

http://youtu.be/ErB0R4wlB64

James 05 Aug 2011, 09:05

Tinyeyes - that guy certainly is strange - his voice could narrate my nightmares!

Speaking of nightmares, Warren Jeffs (the FLDS "prophet" just found guilty for sexually assaulting his 12 year old "spiritual wife") is a myope. Who knew prophets could be nearsighted!

Lots of pictures of him on Google without glasses (contacts I'm guessing, he seems like his minus is def too high to go bare eyed) but since he has been in prison, seems to be full time in glasses:

royboy, how old are you now and what did your rx end up being?

royboy 29 Jul 2011, 06:54

man! +12.25 and you don't already wear bifocals? I am surprised you were not prescribed bifocals with a much lesser plus - even at a young age. by the time I was 15 and was wearing +5.50 - I was in bifocals (with no choice).

plussy 28 Jul 2011, 21:34

Sorry its impossible to induce myopia if you lived to be a hundred, i don,t know where all this rubbish comes from. Go to any true professional optician he or she will tell you all that will happen you will get severe headaches MY RX is plus 12.25 and increasing, will soon need bifocals, to correct a roving eye.

What the heck is scriptfinders??????

Chet 28 Jul 2011, 10:53

According to Scriptfinders, Chace Crawford's prescription is OD -5.75 -1.25 x095 OS -6.00 -1.50 x 180

He normally wears gas permeable toric lenses

ksnl 28 Jul 2011, 01:54

To me it seems like those were personal pictures of Chace at home that got out somehow... I don't think he would have ordinarily allowed pictures to be taken of him in glasses (except for plano glasses in Esquire magazine), he seems quite vain.

We need to find some personal pictures of Jake at home...

tinyeyes 27 Jul 2011, 22:32

Oh also, I think Chace's rimless frames are tricky to estimate from those pics. I wish they were -8, but I'm thinking they're probably closer to -5 or -6. I think rimless frames tend to exaggerate the appearance of high power. They could be higher, though. But there is no way they're only -2 or -3.

tinyeyes 27 Jul 2011, 22:13

That's pretty amazing. I'm glad that Chace allowed pics of himself in glasses to go public! I wonder if we'll be treated to more? Now if only we could get Jake Gyllenhaal to do the same! My life won't be complete until I see him in his coke bottles!

Alan 27 Jul 2011, 12:54

Well, I'm pretty good at estimating Rxs, and believe me Chase is very myopic. I'd go with -7 or -8. Those are seriously high index lenses with a lot of cut-in and they make his eyes quite a lot smaller. Uncorrected, he couldn't read small print unless it was four inches away from his face and he'd have difficulty recognising strangers if they were more than three feet away. If those rimless specs are his main pair it must be quite a struggle to find them sometimes.

ksnl 27 Jul 2011, 11:28

I thought a bit stronger than that, maybe I am looking from a different angle... but once again, I'm no expert... any other opinions?

James 27 Jul 2011, 10:03

I don't wanna dampen the party at all, and am also no expert Rx estimator, but Chace's glasses just look incredibly low minus to me. Like -1 to -2, -3 at a push.

I could just be looking at them wrong though.

ksnl 26 Jul 2011, 15:31

I really suck at estimating rx's... on the actors thread they were saying -7/-8... if you didn't see the other threads, here's more views...

Yesterday was a beautiful day in SF with 68 degree weather and perfect blue skies. An optical obsessive dream day, too, with numerous sightings of some seriously myopic guys, one in the Castro with at least -15 lenses in very small rectangular frames. Awesome power rings and serious lens thickness.

tinyeyes 24 Jul 2011, 22:01

Dave, you're only partly right about LA. There are plenty of guys in strong glasses if you know where to look. Sure, Hollywood and the West Side may be image-obsessed, but there's also, for example, huge Asian areas like Monterey Park that are full of high myopes in glasses. (hate to bring up the stereotype but...) The great thing about cities like San Francisco is the street life and mass transit so that it's so easy to people-watch.

Also, I've seen "Strangers on a Train" -- great movie!

Dave 24 Jul 2011, 11:04

tivosante -- I'd love to take his picture just for myself but he's so shy and would probably think I'd lost my marbles. I don't think he's at all happy being totally dependent on his glasses and never thought they'd get to this level of strength since he only started wearing them in college. Within 5 years he was a high myope and now an extreme one. Even without glasses, though, he's so hot.

tinyeyes -- You're right about SF. LA is so beauty obsessed. While glasses are a fashion accessory down there they can never be construed as a medical necessity. You might see some very low minus prescriptions in some very cool frames on some very good-looking people, but rarely do you see something serious in the prescription department.

BTW, I just saw the last Harry Potter movie (a first for me) and was so annoyed to see those prescription-free glasses of his. You'd have thought they would have had some sort of script to make them appear real. Guess most people would never notice, but I sure did, and have always found it annoying that Hollywood wants the look of glasses but never the look of a real pair. (Read Matt Damon). The one serious exception was Alfred Hitchcock who insisted in his classic movie, Strangers on a Train, that one of the principal actresses wear real glasses even though she didn't need them and was effectively blind with them on. The real prescription was key when Hitchcock filmed her murder as it was seen through the strong prescription.

tinyeyes 23 Jul 2011, 20:37

Dave, I think SF is heaven for seeing guys with thick glasses, especially Asian since there are so many in the area. And yeah, I meant straight guys in general (regardless of race) who have a strong prescription are more likely than gays to wear their glasses in public. My only point about race is that high myopia does seem to be more prevalent among Asians and Asian-Americans.

tivosesante 23 Jul 2011, 11:39

hey dave, how's about a pic of your asian freind with his thick glasses, since he's not so concerned about thickness he may be more than willing to stand in front of a camera, particularly if you tell him that his glasses make him even more appealing............good luck...........

Dave 23 Jul 2011, 09:48

tinyeyes -- I'm in SF which has always had lots of Asians and many with serious scripts. I'm always on the lookout but agree with you that the Asian guys with the strongest glasses tend to be straight. Frankly, I think the same holds true for white guys. Nevertheless, you should see a couple of the Asian boys who live in my building!! There's also a very cute Eurasian I see downtown all of the time who has made his extremely thick glasses a part of his look. I'd say he's a -14 and wears frames that are a tad too large for his hefty prescription which means the edge thickness is nearly 1/2". Always a nice sighting!

tinyeyes 22 Jul 2011, 18:57

Dave -- ah I see. Not surprising at all that your friend is straight, but you can still look! Straight guys are much more likely to wear strong glasses. I do like Asians a lot, (I'm white) and one of the reasons is their prevalence of high myopia! From what I understand, double-digit prescriptions are very common in Taiwan and SIngapore as well as elsewhere in Asia. Fortunately a lot of them have been imported to the US!

Dave 22 Jul 2011, 16:43

tinyeyes -- My Asian pal is very cute and very straight. 6'1" and built. Oh, well. Normally I'm not into Asians but when I am ... His thick lenses really do the trick for me.

tinyeyes 22 Jul 2011, 07:07

Dave, your Asian friend sounds awesome! Does he wear contacts, or glasses full-time? I'm -9.5 and have been in flat fronts for a long time, since I was -8 which is what I've pretty much been since teen years.

Dave 22 Jul 2011, 04:55

I'd say closer to -15. I was at dinner with a hot Asian friend of mine tonight whose new glasses have finally gone flat-fronted and are -10/-10.5- after a big increase. He's got the 1.74 index lenses but they've still got some edge thickness and lots of power rings. I'd say the son of the mafia don has the highest index available in plastic and, yes, he is cute. Not that he's classically handsome but he does have a lot of appeal and is very manly.

James 22 Jul 2011, 03:59

I'm not the best at guessing - I just know strong when I see it! - but I'd say anywhere between -12 and -15.

Hot!

This is a video of a -10.5 guy getting his new, very thin hi-index glasses. Without being able to explain exactly why, I love the part about halfway through where the optician takes the glasses off his face, and you see his eyes go into that high myopia blankness, not even trying to focus.

JP 13 Jul 2011, 03:17

Antonio Prestieri, in this clip, is not only good-looking but (of course) has very high myopia - loads of lens thickness to conquer his frame. See video part-way down the page, at least for UK viewers.

These were very special glasses and the blue eyes behind them really did it for me. Oh, my father had a daughter who loved a man not too wisely, but too well, far too well and certainly for all the wrong reasons.

Well, it happened again. I gave too much to someone who was unworthy because I was under the spell of his magical glasses. Will I ever learn? Sorrowfully, VFL

Cute plus guy... Just do keyword "extremehyperopia" on Flickr dot com.

jo 23 Jun 2011, 21:46

i certainly agree. he looks like he will look even better as he age, and hopefully, his myopia gets higher too (though that's a bad thought)..

sam12744 23 Jun 2011, 18:56

Well, he's certainly improved as he got older. Turned into a very attractive man.

My favorite pic from the Tumblr links was actor Eric Mabius -- I had no idea he was so myopic! What a hottie! Looking for more pictures of him in glasses but no luck so far. Any guesses on his Rx?

tivosesante 22 Jun 2011, 08:44

thanks knsl 22...I checked out micha again, they don't edit to often, but have some goodies. The last two you sent also had some goodies for me. Im beginning to think that I may have the best and largest collection on the planet, wouldn"t that be some thing. I'm a little reluctant to put them all out into cyber space for a couple of reasons.

I haven't found anything that you are wanting on tumblr... The only site I can think of is this one which has been posted before....

http://public.fotki.com/Micha/guys_wearing_strong/guys_with_strong_glasses/

I'm quite lost when it comes to tumblr too... I'm slowly figuring it out. I just search in google, for example, "guys wearing glasses tumblr" and it comes up with the tumblr sites. Ever since those Chace Crawford pics (on actors thread) were discovered on tumblr, I decided I need to figure out how it works. Here's 2 more....

Hmm, Julian Smith is really cute, but he seems to be using the glasses as a prop to make himself look goofy/dumb in the videos. I'm wondering if those glasses are even his. He looks great in them though, although I wish he wouldn't wear them crooked, cross his eyes on purpose and otherwise try to look terrible when he's wearing them. It's for comic effect but to an OO it's not that funny!

Here's another vid of the same guy. Starting about 38 seconds in, he switches to his old glasses and then later talks about how he can't see with this old pair and finds vision so much better with his new pair.

A pretty strong script either way--flat fronts, and note the edge of the lens sticking out beyond the frame by a significant amount on the new (black plastic) pair.

rather high script

tivosesante 25 May 2011, 19:24

i would love to share this encounter that i have to say was one of very best in a;; my years of lurking. This rather husky black boy, maybe in his early twenties, caught my eye as i drove by a bus stop. Spotting what i believed to be glasses about as Strong as gertz's aviator goggles, but not quite as large and more round, almost surely welfare glasses.

carefully making a u turn i pulled into a checkers parking lot and walked over to the bus stop just in time to get a closer look at his incredibly strong glasses, very thick on the sides

; and he was gone...........

hoping against...odds that he would be there tomorrow at the same time i returned and parked behind checkers, bought a shake and waited at an outside table, he showed up pretty much on time and i wasted no time in walking over and almost immediately struck up a conversation about how strong his script was. he responded in both a congenial and evasive manner. I'm good about glasses chatter and kept the conversation going, talking about contacts, eye surgery, hi index lenses, what ever just to get him to face me a bit. he seemed not to want to make any pronounced eye contact ...............

finally a bus came going east west instead of north south to where we were and he hurriedly grabbed it. i was left alone wondering if i scared him off, I can not forget the wonderful image of those huge dark tortoise shell frames with thick myodisc type lenses protruding both forward and behind the heavy frames. the inner ring was larger than most myodiscs suggesting a much more powerful script.....................

when i get a chance i will get a foto of him if he will allow me and I'll post it with his permission....................

tinyeyes 21 May 2011, 17:41

Gertz is fascinating... does anyone know the story there? Too bad the other vids are gone. I don't see how he was able to get those -29 glasses made in that huge frame -- seems like something that would be very difficult to get someone to make. It looks ridiculous to me, but some of the smaller frames in the old videos were awesome, and I would be happy to be with a guy who needed them.

I'm assuming he's GOC but does anyone know?

tivosesante 21 May 2011, 15:42

gertz is back with some frames that i don't care for, i think he has had some critical viewers, and allowed them to chase him away; anyway he's back and how's about encouraging him to make more videos......http://www.youtube.com/user/75gertz#p/u/0/pVndD0hJ_mk

Cactus Jack 12 May 2011, 12:03

Myopic Grant,

I am not 100% sure, but I think the thickness of the cornea and the underlying corneal stroma are important, in addition to the actual Rx.

In lasik, they make a corneal flap and fold it back revealing the corneal stroma. A laser is then used to ablate (vaporize) some of the tissue that makes up the stroma to reshape the stroma. The flap is then allow to return to its original position. If the stroma is not thick enough to allow successful removal of enough tissue to produce the necessary correction, other solutions must be found.

Consider the process of making a minus lens where the center thickness of the blank is ground away. The blank itself must be thick enough to allow the full Rx to be ground into the lens and retain enough center thickness to keep the lens from being very fragile. Essentially, lasik for myopia uses a laser to grind away the center of the stroma to reduce its plus power.

Myopic Grant 12 May 2011, 11:18

So in regards to the ICL guy; how bad does your vision have to be in order NOT to be considered for lasik? It looks like he's around a -10, so I wonder what the cut off is. I know people who were around that range who had the procedure.

Dave 12 May 2011, 08:07

Tivo -- Like tinyeyes, I totally agree with his assessment about the ICL guy. A dreamboat! I"m sure he was around a -12 (maybe more) with super high index lenses. The e-cigarette guy is only cute because of his glasses which have to be around -8/9. How people can prattle on You Tube for minute after minute saying nothing is really tiresome.

tivosesante 12 May 2011, 04:24

tinyeyes.....the reason for quoting my mother about if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything, was to abate any chance of my being totally critcal or cynical about the entire video and how utterly insipid it was, except for the glasses of course(who's biased here?)....

tinyeyes 12 May 2011, 00:44

James & Tivo -- I like the cigarette guy too, but he's just nowhere as cute (to me) as the super handsome high myope who got ICL lenses. Thanks for finding all this!

tinyeyes 12 May 2011, 00:04

James -- thanks for posting that ICL news report. Oh wow, that guy is so cute, especially with his glasses!! Sad that he got surgery, but at least with ICL it's reversible -- he's still a high myope, and if those contacts were surgically removed he'd be right back where he started.

James 11 May 2011, 06:23

Tivo - I didn't even see you had posted that when I posted! Also saw him on the YouTube sidebar. It shows great minds think alike!!!

Can anyone estimate the Rx's? I'd say both approaching (if not well into) double digits).

Fun video and his glasses are hot, real or not!

To answer the questions from earlier--

I can't remember posting any pics with glasses that I shared here, but maybe I did. Anyway here's my latest rx, only a few weeks old actually:

OD -9.75 -0.75 x005

OS -9.75 -0 50 x025

This is for glasses, not contacts. The doctor actually also provided a .75 add (for the first time!) I asked for it, but I think he thought I was still ok without it. I'm ok in contacts for now, but getting to the point where I have to push my glasses down when reading. In recent years my distance rx has gotten about 1D worse, which surprises me going from my 30s into my 40s! My old glasses from a few years ago seem much too weak now!

I haven't had the new glasses made yet -- still deciding whether to hold off on the add. Aging is a reality!

tivoseante 05 May 2011, 20:52

cool glasses, but real, i don't know...in one other vid. he has just blank lenses......

All4Eyes 05 May 2011, 17:52

Tinyeyes: Yes, it's true, "opposites attract" and "birds of a feather flock together" can both be valid forces, believe it or not. For example, I am bisexual (I've said here before that I was straight, but that was when I was still coming to terms with being bi, and also I am more hetero where the OO thing is concerned, I don't know why, but maybe it has something to do with that whole "strong guy with 1 weakness" thing) and find that I'm attracted to guys and girls but for different reasons. With guys there is that ever-present allure of the mystery of the unknown, while with girls there is a comfortable sense of intimate familiarity.

Dave 05 May 2011, 13:19

Tinyeyes -- I remember that you posted some pictures of yourself in glasses on Flickr (and there were many without) and you looked great in them! What's your prescription now?

Obsessed 05 May 2011, 10:27

Hey guys! Thanks for sharing your thoughts :-) It's really fascinating to read about your feelings about strong glasses and, of course, VERY strong glasses ;-)

I have been fascinated by glasses since I was in the 6th or 7th grade. A friend of mine was prescribed glasses, and his initial RX was stronger than most kids' - I think he was -2.50 or so. For someone who hadn't worn glasses before, it was a significant RX. Most kids would start at -0.5 or -0.75. I remember being endlessly fascinated by realizing that he must have seen things blurry without his glasses and then everything would come into focus whenever he'd put them on. I asked him many questions. We used to play together, and often he would not have his glasses on because he was afraid of scratching them while playing active games. I kept asking him questions about the quality of his vision. Since he was pretty much a full-time wearer at school, he soon became quite dependent on them. It was fascinating to see him start wearing his glasses while playing with kids in the yard after school (we lived in the same neighborhood). I asked him why he was now wearing his glasses all the time and almost died when I heard the answer "I can't really see well without them".

The next thing I did was simulate myopia. My mom was a medical person, so I found her college textbooks and read about myopia and other refractive errors. I managed to trick 2 doctors into believing I had myopia, but my mother figured me out, so I didn't get lucky and didn't get glasses. I was so depressed - I wanted them so badly.

At a young age, I was only attracted to myopic people. I was fascinated by my friends glasses, but I didn't feel any sexual attraction for him as a guy. Even when we were in high school. I was always into older men. Like, significantly older - usually over 40. I actually love men over 50 and 60, as well :-) I occasionally get attracted to men who are in their late 20's or early 30's, but that's not typical.

I love myopia. I do wear glasses myself now (been wearing them for 3 years and am at -2 now). I have huge frames and my lenses are low index - that gives me a chance to have some power rings even with my mild RX.

I have recently developed a crazy fetish for presbyopia. With only one restriction: there must be a distance RX and it must be plus, as well. Seeing a man over 40 (or, preferably, even over 50) with a plus distance RX and a line at the bottom of the lenses indicating an add - it just drives me nuts. I can stalk a guy like that around a store for a long time. I don't know where it came from, but there's something endlessly hot about that for me.

When in bed, I like to imagine (while having sex) how poorly my man sees things wihtout his glasses and how he's able to focus with them on his face. I absolutely LOVE the face distortions that glasses create. They are insane sexy in my opinion :)

tinyeyes 05 May 2011, 09:26

All4Eyes -- good point about how some high myopes are OOs but most aren't. I have no idea why either. I can tell you that almost all of the high myopes I have been interested in or dated had no interest in my myopia at all. The whole thing is sort of analogous to the "opposites attract" thing: most people seem to like someone very different from themselves, even when the same sex. Dark skinned with light skinned, skinny with big, etc. -- you see it all the time. But you also see the guys who are paired up who look like twins or brothers -- both muscle bunnies with blond hair, etc. But that's less common. I fall somewhere in between. I definitely am attracted to other races and body types, but I also like commonalities -- guys close to my own age (although the older I get the less true this is!) and guys who are myopic. I think this psychological stuff we all carry is pretty complicated.

James - I totally agree with you about seeing someone in glasses for the first time, when you had seen them previously in contacts. Nothing is hotter!!! I've mentioned this frequently on this site before. Sometimes it was a guy I knew, and sometimes it was someone I just saw frequently, like at the gym. Best of all it was when someone I dated suddenly appeared in strong glasses, or when I was at their house and discovered contact cases and coke bottles in the bathroom. Extremely exciting! And I totally agree about the contrast between hot masculinity and the vulnerability of powerful minus glasses. I also agree with you in that I personally am less attracted to disability.

One more thing -- yes, I am "really" myopic. I am so self-conscious about my strong prescription that I never wear my glasses in public, even though I yearn for other guys to do so! Weird, isn't it? You'd probably think that a high myope who is an OO would want to wear glasses constantly.

James 05 May 2011, 07:51

Tivo - I know what you mean! I have lost count of the number of times I;ve stalked high myopes round supermarkets and shops. The other day I got on a subway in the wrong direction because I was so entranced by this high minus, hot young guy. Luckily, I always manage to stop myself before it gets into truly creepy or even illegal territory.

Tinyeyes - makes perfect sense. Funny thing is, I always got the impression from you (may be totally wrong, not sure where I got the idea) that you were not so super in love with being a high myope yourself, that you were ambivalent about it. This is how I definitely know you are real, since I find it hard to imagine true high myopes who are just toally ecstatic, without ANY reservation, about being highly nearsighted (knowing its pitfalls and all it means in day to day life).

So for me it's very interesting that you find it hot in others, having such an intimate understanding of what it means at a practical level. For me, as i said, I love the vulnerability, and there is also a sense of the unknown for me, as a very low, even pseudo myope.

What I DO realise (from my experience of the -19 guy) is that the myopia must not be at the level of a disability. The -19 guy, while certainly not low vision, did not seem to have good acuity, e.g. struggled to find the latch to open the door etc etc. From this, it dawned on me that I am attracted to myopes who are otherwise rugged and masculine in every other way, but have this one thing - their eyesight - where they are vulnerable. So while I want them to be utterly dependent on the glasses/contacts, they must be able to see well with them. Disability is just no turn on for me (I know it is for some people, no judgement of course!)

While I'm doing rambling stream-of-consciousness anyway, here's another thing I like (sure I've mentioned it before): while I love once off sightings of thick glasses, the absolute best is when someone I know turns up one day in super-thick lenses, and all the time I have known them until that point, I had no idea they were seeing through strong contacts. It is somehow so intimate and personal, such a revelation of personal vulnerability or weakness.

All4Eyes 05 May 2011, 02:15

Tinyeyes: Sure it makes sense! I feel the same. I think there is an intimate sense of commonality between 2 myopes, especially with the need to get close to see each other clearly. But that doesn't explain why some myopes are OO and others aren't. And for ppl with perfect vision, there is an air of mystery to the world of myopes, an intriguing "other" they know they'll never fully understand. But that doesn't explain why some non-myopes are OO and others aren't.

tinyeyes 05 May 2011, 00:32

For me, the answer is also that I like being with the guy both with and without glasses. I'm most attracted to seeing them with their thick glasses on, but I have also been extremely aroused by seeing a guy grope around for his glasses, or having that blank look in his eyes that can't focus. I have had this fetish for so long, and I still don't really know why I have it. Of course, since I am a high myope myself, it obviously has something to do with that, but I still don't understand why I find it sexy. I think part of it is the intimate feeling of being close with someone without glasses and seeing each other at close range with our nearsighted eyes, and the brotherhood feeling of waking up together blind and putting on our glasses. If we both wear contacts most of the time, it's all the better -- it's our private world where we are transformed with our thick glasses, and unembarrassed and uninhibited by them since we both need them. Does that make sense?

tivosesante 04 May 2011, 16:09

james, i too have have had great rushes over sightings, one just recently at a local super market, almost losing all control i would lurk around this guy with what i believed to be a -18 more or less; and i would try to stand behind him where i could look thru his glasses to see what was on the other side, and sideways to catch the power rings , straight on to see the depth and width of the cut. it became a majer obsession with me the whole time i was in the store as a matter of fact i went back in again on the pretext that i had forgotten something on my shopping list, just to see him again, a very dark skinned guy, black, not bad looking....i finally got myself together and got out of there,but was quite hot for sometime....no i don't fantasize about his losing his glasses or seeing him take them off and put them back on...i do get a rush from feeling the lenses, especially thick ones....thanks for sharing about your fantasies...i could go on about other things, but don't want to take up the room here....

tivosesante 04 May 2011, 07:41

not ignoring you post james, just have to think about it awhile...meanwhile -29 is back with the wildest ever..... http://www.youtube.com/user/75gertz#p/u/3/JtrgksQX1_U

James 04 May 2011, 03:03

This fetish is so constrained to fantasy for me, I can;t even say definitively what I would do. Case in point: I recently had an, ahem, encounter with a super-high minus guy. He was -19 (born with Marfan's Syndrome), CRAZY thick glasses (not myodisc if you can believe it, but really bevelled at the edges). When it came to the crunch, i.e. fantasy intersecting with reality, I really kind of froze up and didn't know what to do. It was still a hot experience, but not because of me taking charge in any way....he ended up taking the glasses off, then later looked at a text message with one eye shut and the phone basically touching his face.

The experience made me think more deeply about this glasses obsession and what it is based on. There is certainly a vulnerability element to it - that a really masculine guy has to depend on glasses to see - but it is more than that and has elements I can't explain.

I know my fantasy would involve taking his glasses off, and then seeing his try to cope without them. The fantasy would also involve him putting them on again and having that "I can see" moment again.

But I can't say in reality whether a) I would do those things or b) they would actually be a turnon.

So basically, the most non-commital answer ever!!!! How about you guys?

tinyeyes 03 May 2011, 21:53

So I was thinking, Obsessed and James, and anyone else that cares to answer --

If you could be with this guy in the photos and do whatever you want with him (provided he was mutually consenting) would you prefer him to take his glasses off, leave them on, take them off for him... ? Just wondering.

Obsessed 03 May 2011, 17:58

But damn - he's extremely hot with a pretty extreme RX :)

Obsessed 03 May 2011, 17:57

I was wondering about the wife. I most certainly hope she's NOT dead and that she didn't make him unhappy by leaving him or anything.

James 03 May 2011, 13:41

If one were a conspiracy theorist though (which I am not), you would notice that in the more recent years, the taking off of glasses in photos stops at the same time the wife disappears (divorced? dead?) from the pictures.

Guest 03 May 2011, 13:23

He's definitely a hottie that keeps improving with age. I don't think the pictures without glasses are due to being self-conscious or his wife telling him to remove them. I think that he has had enough experiences where the glasses glared and 'ruined the picture.'

tinyeyes 03 May 2011, 08:44

I agree -- he's a cute sexy high myope, and only improving with age!

You're right about the bare-eyed photos, James. I just usually assume bare-eyed photos of super-nearsighted people are in contacts because they're so blind bare-eyed, but in this case, he seemed to pose for photos with glasses off a lot.

I think at this point, the RX is so high that he just won't do it any more. Also, he may be at the point where he looks cross-eyed or otherwise not normal without glasses. One guy I met looked perfectly normal (and extremely hot) in his -12ish glasses, but when they were off his eyes were crossing and had a very blank look.

Obsessed 03 May 2011, 08:21

I mean, what could be better than a collection of several hundred photoes with serious and smiling faces, STRONG (!!) glasses and semi-blind squinting, dressed and topless, with all parts of the body including hands and feet properly demonstrated? :)

Obsessed 03 May 2011, 08:19

Totally agree with all the statements! I think the bare-eyed pictures are actually bare-eyed and not CL. And yes - his RX seems to be stronger and he seems to be getting much hotter in general as time goes by. I think he's in the mid teens now (RX-wise, of course ;-)).

James 03 May 2011, 05:34

Another example of glasses on and then off

http://www.declium.com/threeofus/images/1999/Steve+Connie-atRodeo.jpg

James 03 May 2011, 05:31

This guy is a great find. He also seems to have "grown into" his looks and got hotter with age.

I think some of the supposed contacts photos are just him taking his glasses off though. There are lots of examples where he has them on in one photo and not in the next, and the squintiness of the eyes somewhat backs up this theory. An example:

http://www.declium.com/threeofus/images/2001/June/SC-060801.jpg

http://www.declium.com/threeofus/images/2001/June/SC3-060801.jpg

(I'm not implying he NEVER wears contacts though in the older pics)

Wonder if was self-conscious about the glasses or if the wife was telling him to take them off? Either way, he is certainly comfortable with them now, and that's a good thing, as he'd be blind without them (as he would've been then anyway!).

Definitely agree that the Rx seems to have increased over the past ten years though.

tinyeyes 02 May 2011, 00:55

Thanks, Obsessed. He's cute... I looked at the older albums and saw some photos where we wears contacts. Also in the older photos (2001 for instance) his RX seems to have been somewhat weaker. I would guess he's up to -11 or -12 now. Nice!

No need to worry James. That is from "Hangover I." Ed Helms' thick lenses were popped out for the promotional photos. In this trailer for "Hangover II" you can see that he is still nearsighted as ever.

I spent some time going through it, but it goes on and on and on so I only saw a couple of months worth of photos so far. I found surprisingly few guys with high minus RXs, but many guys with glasses in these impromptu photos. Happy hunting!

Warning -- full frontal nudity in many photos.

Wurm 06 Apr 2011, 02:54

Difficult to say for sure, but you might want to:

- run a virus scan

- change your Vonage password (using the regular Vonage site, not the one you get from Flickr)

After that you could try restarting your computer and see if the redirect is still happening.

In general, you should be wary of login pages that appear when you don't expect them.

Feel free to post again to the "Site Feedback and News" thread if you think I might be of further assistance.

Wow that's weird. I was going thru the pics on that Flickr page, when suddenly a page from Vonage comes up instead asking for my Vonage Username and Password and when I put them in it said they were incorrect, even though I could sign in to my Vonage account with them. Now even when I just go to Flickr homepage it takes me to the Vonage page. All other sites seem OK. Sorry to be off-topic, but does anyone know what's going on here?

I cannot believe how many exciting new websites are now online for men in glasses, boys in glasses, etc. Tumblr websites are particularly good, and I see that others of you have posted links. As you probably know, in a Google search box, you can just input "tumblr" and "glasses" and "boys" OR "men"--and about a half dozen tumblr glasses websites come up. (And the tumblr websites that are NOT exclusively devoted to glasses-wearing men and boys also incidentally have photos of many cuties.) Has everyone seen the photos of "T.R. Knight's glasses wearing friend"? I think he is absolutely gorgeous--to die for! (And I usually go for the skinner types!

Last post (for today at least!). The same site also has a before and after page (almost designed for OO's like me). HEre are some highlights:

http://www.visionsofcanada.com/eyeglass_lenses/bape/bape_dsp.asp?TYPE=BA&G=Near-Sighted&S=Glass&BAPE=100000034

(-15 Rx)

http://www.visionsofcanada.com/eyeglass_lenses/bape/bape_dsp.asp?TYPE=BA&G=Near-Sighted&S=Glass&BAPE=100000033

(yes, you guessed it, -16)

http://www.visionsofcanada.com/eyeglass_lenses/bape/bape_dsp.asp?TYPE=BA&G=Near-Sighted&S=Glass&BAPE=100000001

(not surprisingly, another -16, seems to be their niche)

http://www.visionsofcanada.com/eyeglass_lenses/bape/bape_dsp.asp?TYPE=BA&G=Near-Sighted&S=Glass&BAPE=100000029

(this guy's a paltry -12)

James 08 Mar 2011, 10:50

Here is yet another -16 guy on the same site (again, why are more of these -16 guys not in my life, or at least my VIEW?).

http://www.visionsofcanada.com/eyeglass_lenses/bape/bape_dsp.asp?TYPE=PE&G=Near-Sighted&S=Glass&BAPE=100000032

For me, easy as it is to speak as a non high-myope, this takes cosmetics to the point of ridiculousness. In the quest for thinner lenses, they have given him a frame that is RIDICULOUSLY too narrow for his face - how is that cosmetically appealing, especially when viewed front-on?

Also, at a mroe technical level, surely such tiny lenses would give acuity that is like tunnel vision at best? Wouldn't a slightly larger (not talking anything crazy and retro here) frame give a better visual result?

James 08 Mar 2011, 10:41

Here is a site advertising its credentials at making thin glasses for extreme prescriptions.

Here are my favourites:

http://www.visionsofcanada.com/eyeglass_lenses/featured_clients/fc_list2.asp?FC=100000015

(-16 in one eye)

http://www.visionsofcanada.com/eyeglass_lenses/featured_clients/fc_list2.asp?FC=100000003

(-12.5 in worse eye)

http://www.visionsofcanada.com/eyeglass_lenses/featured_clients/fc_list2.asp?FC=100000009

(another -16 - why do I not see more of all these -16's in the street?)

http://www.visionsofcanada.com/eyeglass_lenses/featured_clients/fc_list2.asp?FC=100000023

(-11.75)

Except for the last one, which I truly WAS surprised was a -11.75, with the others, while the opticians have achieved technical "thinness" in the glasses, it is still very clear, even to a non-OO I believe, that these are abnormally high Rx's.

tivosesante 08 Mar 2011, 07:20

it appears that he has a high script and the profile reveals a really thick lense, but modern technoligy has wiped out that exciting effect that shining light had on power rings in older lenses i guess mostly in the cr39 catagory and also even in the glass lenses although they never appeared as thick.

I would say so -- at least -8. I find it very sexy. I love the "tinyeyes" effect and the deep cut-in that is only accentuated by those huge frames.

Nice sighting this morning. I went to a gym that I don't go to normally, one that is frequented by downtown business types. Plenty of very good looking men! Including one young accountant/auditor (his T-shirt with company logo gave it away), with a great body, brown hair, scruffy 5-o'clock shadow, and wearing dark-rim glasses around -6. Very nice.... I am pretty sure he is used to wearing contacts mostly, because it was early in the morning, and he kept adjusting his glasses like he wasn't comfortable with them. Even better, then he took them off and looked very close to see a speck on them. Ahh, such a turn-on. I could have kept checking him out for a long time, but I had to go.

Chrissi 06 Feb 2011, 21:24

Hi, Cactus Jack! Sorry about missing your first post in response to my friend's situation. I mustve clicked post and then typed while your post came onthe thread.

Thanks for the advice about the rx estimations. I will probably just end up waiting for him to get the exam. Naturally, he'll tell me how it went, and then I'll probably ask him if he knows what the rx is. I'm still reluctant to wear my glasses. Part of this is because my glasses are a couple years old. I only use them around the house. I am going to get new glasses soon, hopefully. As for contacts, I'll probably wait since paying for glasses and contacts as well as an expensive school trip will be too much.

The thing about this situation with my friend is that he has never shown any signs of needing glasses at all. I have never seen him squint, and he has never mentioned it. However, I suppose that's not too out of the ordinary. He couldve just kept to himself until the right time, I suppose. I'll see him tomorrow, so maybe we'll talk more about it then. I'll be sure to post

if there is anything worthy to be posted!

Cactus Jack 06 Feb 2011, 20:52

Chrissi,

Please forgive the punctuation blunders.

Cactus Jack 06 Feb 2011, 20:49

Chrissi,

You are right. Your friend would probably just see blurry blobs with your glasses. It is unlikely that he could function this long without correction with an Rx anywhere near -13.

My suggestion is that you first show him your glasses and explain that they are very strong. You normally wear contact lenses, but keep the glasses around just in case something happens to the contacts. Because you have difficulty in unfamiliar environments without contacts or glasses.

Depending on his reaction to that, you might offer to try on your glasses over your contacts so he can see what your glasses look like. Explain that with double correction, you cannot see very well at all. If, after that. he wants to try them on, alert him that even though he probably needs glasses, it is not likely that he will need glasses anywhere near this strong. What he will see is pretty close to what you see when you are wearing double correction.

His reaction to all this is a good way to judge his character and perhaps decide if he is a "keeper".

Chrissi 06 Feb 2011, 20:00

Soundmanpt: we'll see how it goes. He mentioned a visit to the clinic his mother and brother go to, which is not the same place I get my contacts from. If he gets glasses though, I will certainly post about them!

Original Tony: I don't think he'd be able to see anything with my glasses on! My prescription is around -13....

He actually wanted me to wear my glasses to school tomorrow instead of contacts. I am extremely averse to this idea due to the strength of my glasses and the fact that I have not worn glasses in public for the past four years!

Cactus Jack 06 Feb 2011, 19:58

Chrissi,

I am sure you have posted it, but I cannot recall your Rx. If your friend is curious about what his Rx is before the exam, you might suggest the procedure I described on the Post Your Prescription thread in two related posts.

Post 1 at 30 Jan 2011 20:52

Post 2 at 1 Feb 2011 05:39

I suspect he is myopic, particularly if he does not have problems reading at typical distances, but he could have some astigmatism also. If he does the test, please let us know the calculated results and then the actual exam results if possible.

The reason I asked about your Rx is that if there is a big difference between what he needs and your Rx his first reaction might be that they are not much better than no glasses.

Original Tony 06 Feb 2011, 19:23

Chrissi

When you next see hime take your glasses along and ask him to try them on. Be intesting to know what he sees.

Soundmanpt 06 Feb 2011, 13:55

Chrissi

I would say it is pretty certain that your guy friend will need glasses and I would say from what he described that he will be wearing them quite a bit within a short period of time. Maybe you should mention having him go with you when you go for your contacts. I assume you are meaning your yearly checkup that you have to have to get your next supply of lenses? When he goes be sure to come over to the "Post Your Prescription" thread with the details. Are you anticipating any changes in your contacts?

Chrissi 06 Feb 2011, 00:22

A good male friend of mine brought up his vision in a conversation I was havng with one of my female friends. I talked about how I need new contacts, and the girl mentioned needing new glasses. My guy friend contributed, saying that his mom asked him if he could read these words on the tv, and he couldn't even tell that they were there. His mother let him borrow her glasses (her glasses for distance, he said) and he said that he could tell that there were words onthe screen, but still couldn't read them. Personally, I was a little surprised at this news because I'd never noticed him having any vision issues. He is going to an optometrist soon, but I do not know when. I wonder if he'll have to get glasses.

I told him that if he needs them, then he should get black plastic ones! Haha

He said that he almost wants his eyes to be bad because then he'll look smarter. I don't think that he has a fetish. He probably just wants them as an accessory. oh well.

Well, anyway! I hope he gets them! I am almost a little bit excited...

tinyeyes 31 Jan 2011, 23:04

It's hard to say if there are any particular behaviors with glasses that I enjoy, but I do sometimes see guys with that "day off from contacts" look -- it's hard to say how I can tell, but sometimes I just can. Yesterday there was a guy at the gym with that look. He was wearing a ski cap with the glasses, which were around -5, and he had a lot of tattoos. Somehow the look just didn't quite jive with the nerdy glasses, but of course they looked great on him. Sometimes guys (especially with lovely higher minus prescriptions) appear to be peering through their glasses and testing how far they can see. It's obvious they don't seem to be used to wearing them, and maybe they're getting used to the distortion and the small image size of their strong RX. Meanwhile I'm enjoying their "tiny eyes"!

James 31 Jan 2011, 13:00

Saw three of my favourite glasses related "behaviours" (I suppose that's what you would call them) today, all of them at various times on the Tube (subway).

1) high myope (at least -10, very inappropriately square wire rim frames, not in a hi-index material, I'd say clearly a day off from contacts, hipstery 30's-ish guy with long hair and a cap) lifted the glasses with thumb and index finger, eyes closed, squeezing bridge of nose for prolonged period.

2) another high myope (I'd say at least a -8, quite large aviator inspired frames, not worn with any retro sensibility, he was just an older guy, probably late 40's), was reading while walking. And by reading, I mean he tilted his head at angle so as to look over the frames, holding the page literally about 2 inches from his face - this behaviour is not to be confused with pushing the glasses down one's nose to read with your head at a normal angle. That wouldn't have worked for a guy with this level of myopia, hence his convoluted head-tilting and holding of reading matter ridiculously close. Bifocals anyone?

3) Yet a third high myope (it was really a day for sightings - when it rains it pours as they say - this almost guarantees the rest of the week will be serious myope free), I'd guess also about -10, this one with sensible high index lenses in a very small wire rim frame. He repeatedly pushed the glasses closer to his eyes to read the next station (displayed in a ticker tape style). Even when not pushing them closer (they were already very close, it wasn't a case of them sliding down or anything), the temples were at an upward tilting angle, indicating this guy definitely needed a bump in his Rx.

Any of these things individually is a treat. Three on the same day is almost too many to properly digest and appreciate. There were many myopes today, some high as well, but these are the three that stayed with me.

Does anyone else have anything in particular they enjoy seeing myopes (or indeed, hyperopes) do with their glasses?

tinyeyes 26 Jan 2011, 09:03

James, I couldn't agree more! Nothing is more exciting than when the high myopia "secret" is revealed! Wearing powerful glasses full time is hot, but wearing them only "at night" "because my prescription is so strong" is much more exciting to me. Especially if I'm the lucky one getting to enjoy the intimacy of being one of the only people who gets to see the guy in his usually hidden coke-bottles.

James 26 Jan 2011, 04:43

Tinyeyes - it is! Because it's a personal and major thing about the person that you have found out.....I find it almost more tantalising when the high myopes alternate between contacts and glasses. It makes the glasses sightings that much more special. And if they are a little uncomfortable in the glasses, so much the better!

tinyeyes 26 Jan 2011, 01:12

Wonderful story, James.... how nice that you were able to verify the RX! Isn't it just like striking gold when you discover someone has been wearing strong contact lenses all along? Nice...

James 25 Jan 2011, 13:23

Great sighting at my new(ish) job today.

One of my new colleagues, who shared my office for the day, showed up in glasses today. I'd never seen him in glasses the few times we'd met before, and in fact had no inkling, that sixth sense one sometimes has, triggered by the way someone blinks or even something undefinable, that he was a contact lens wearer.

Anyway, he is a scientist and what I would categorise as sexy nerd/geek....probably early thirties, maybe even late twenties, but with steely, completely grey hair, all thick and tousled and sexy, a completely ripped but effortless body that he is probably not even aware of.

The glasses were semi-rimless, i.e. rim at the top, rimless at the bottom, where part of the edge thickness (unless I am wrong) is attributable to the frame itself, i.e. over and above the Rx itself, so the glasses looked quite substantial. I also noticed he peered at the screen, leaning in quite close. This may just be a myope trait generally, or indicative that a stronger Rx is needed. Either way - it was sexy.

Shortly before he left (he doesn't live in London and was just in the London office for the day), he went to the bathroom, and when he returned to say goodbye, was in contacts. I am sure he had his reasons, but putting in the lenses at the end of the day strikes me as odd. Perhaps a sign he has never really got comfortable in glasses, never got over that first awkward phase, at whatever age, and if this is true, I can relate and do not judge him.

Anyway, seizing this perfect opportunity for investigation, I went to the bathroom and found his disposed of contact lens packets - one eye -5, the other -6.5. That is an Rx that I would scoff at on paper (give me the high myopes please, universe!), but it is not insubstantial in the non-OO world (certainly precludes you from part time wear), and with his particular frame, looked quite impressive. In any event, it was a lovely sight to behold all day.

LONG live SHORT shorts and big, THICK glasses!

tinyeyes 19 Jan 2011, 01:11

Big glasses are making a comeback, most definitely, with the young/hipster crowd. I've seen a few guys with large frames and surprisingly strong prescriptions! As with everything in fashion, when the people are young enough that they don't remember something, it's new again and the cycle begins again. I thought those huge frames would never come back, but here they are! Also, boat shoes from the 80s, and coming soon, short shorts!

Jennifer 18 Jan 2011, 11:39

Was at Starbuck's yesterday. Saw a guy there wearing aviator glasses, like those worn in the 70's. He was probably in his mid 20s. I was surprised to see a younger guy wearing the silver frames. The glasses looked huge on him, but the minus prescription was not very strong. He wasn't all that cute to look at, but his glasses did catch my attention. Just wondering if these frames are making a comeback?

tinyeyes 16 Jan 2011, 12:25

No link to share here, but I had many good sightings in the last couple of days. First, a very good-looking, almost model-handsome guy, around 30, at the gym, with a great body, smooth skin, scruffy brown hair, baseball cap, and plastic-frame glasses around -6.00. At a very straight gym and he looked straight. Then, at the home improvement store, a nerdy looking skinny white guy, mid-30s maybe, kind of a younger Jeff Goldblum look, with retro plastic frames and deep cut-in, around -8.00 to -10.00. Nice!

Then, attended a gay party with a mostly Asian crowd....not a great-looking crowd, but many in glasses. There were at least half a dozen guys in glasses ranging from -6.00 to -10.00 I would guess. Including a Chinese couple who both wore strongish glasses -- one of them cleaned his glasses and then took his boyfriend's and cleaned his too.

Found an intriguing poll question on Manhunt.

"If a guy is wearing glasses in his main picture on Manhunt, are you more likely to click through and check out the rest of his profile?"

Sadly, the voting is already closed but the results bode well. And there are some very nice photos of a bespectacled hunk, Zack, accompanying the piece. Definitely NSFW but if don't mind porn, you can keep clicking through to the original site for more shots and video.

I am a bit stumped on his Rx....in some pictures it does not look all that substantial (in the -5 range) but then in others, the left eye in particular looks high minus.

Anyone have any thoughts?

James 03 Jan 2011, 13:46

This is David Carey, the new CEO of Hearst (the media conglomerate). I like that he chooses bold unapologetic frames, and from a google search, never seems to wear contacts. There is even a slight squint/laziness detectable in some photos (this might preclude contacts?).

James -- I waste too much time on sites like adam4adam, grindr., etc.

I just ask guys if they have glasses and go from there. Chatting back and forth with that particular guy, he told me seldom wore glasses and didn't have a picture with them because they made his eyes look very small. Little did I know he was -13D! He actually took a picture and sent it to me before we met up.

I agree with tivosesente, and I feel that this chap is either from somewhere in the Ozarks, or in the general area. While you don't get a good view of him in the video, he has a much better picture for his profile now, and that is certainly a serious prescription in those myodiscs.

tinyeyes 24 Nov 2010, 00:50

The previous post was from me -- I accidentally put "eyescene"

eyescene 24 Nov 2010, 00:25

OK, well I guess he must be an "OO" himself, or he wouldn't bother with doing the GOC videos! I agree that he sure is hot in those glasses, and here's hoping the RX is real, but you're probably right.

All4Eyes 23 Nov 2010, 23:22

Yeah, the smoking guy and his glasses are hot (and probably not his real rx, or if it is he is clearly deliberately "playing to the OOs"). He seems to be making an appeal to the smoking fetish community too I'd say, though I'm not into that myself and don't know too much about it. Not that I mind it really, but the way he smokes without holding the cigarette makes me a wee bit nervous, what if it falls out of his mouth and sets the floor on fire?!

I ALWAYS make passes at guys who wear glasses (even if they're prolly GOC and have slightly scary smoking habits), Marie 8-)

James 23 Nov 2010, 13:34

Tinyeyes - I was. This is the same guy from a couple of years ago. On his flickr page, his Rx seemed to have doubled in the space of a few months.

When someone here commented on some of the signs the glasses weren't his real prescription, a new video would be uploaded the next day "correcting" whatever the mistake had been, usually the next day. When somebody noted this, the videos were promptly deleted.

Also, he just does too many OO-bait things, things real life high myopes (unfortunately) don't do, for the Rx to be real.

That said, he and his glasses are super hot!!!!

tinyeyes 23 Nov 2010, 08:41

I thought he was suggesting that the previous "smoking" guy was doing GOC. Maybe I misunderstood.

Julian 23 Nov 2010, 05:04

tinyeyes - James did say 'NOT doing GOC'. Perhaps you're due for bifocals ::)

tinyeyes 22 Nov 2010, 22:13

James, how do we know that he's doing GOC? That's disappointing -- he looks so hot in those glasses! Thanks for the other link, too.

This high minus guy on flickr (can;t recall how or where I came across him - may have been here):

circa 2007:

seems to have got new frames:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericcook/5129785572

Think I may prefer the old ones. Or it may just be the angle of the older photo and therefore the increased cut-in visible.

Anyone wanna guess the Rx? I'm thinking double digits for sure (but tend to doubt myself on these things).

tinyeyes 30 Oct 2010, 02:27

thanks, obsessed....what i have been doing is posting them on picasa web albums, which is a free download photo shop type program and from there they become as you say accesible to the internet, i guess i ought to be satisfied with this and leave it at that.......

Obsessed 23 Oct 2010, 17:58

typo correction:

"accessible", not "visible"

Obsessed 23 Oct 2010, 17:56

Well, giving us a path to a directory on your LOCAL computer definitely won't help ;)

You have to put the pictures somewhere on the web to make them visible.

One thing you can do it pay for web hosting and upload the images into your own folders.

hoping you all will be patient with me i'm trying to figure out how to send images from my gallery to eyescene without using the picasa web album site....the one i just sent works inside my system by right clicking on copy full path, but does not then after go outside or on to the internet itself....again i ask, does anyone have a simple sugestion as to how to do this?????

Thanks Rocker7 for both of those photos. If either of them is a medium prescription, I'd love that Rx for myself!

tivosesante: Those times when I see lots of high prescriptions leave me longing! But do you really think there are many goc'ers out there? I agree that a prescription so high it makes even hi index look powerful is great.... an extra intensity.

tivosesante 09 Oct 2010, 16:13

i would say -10 to -11 on the one and -8 on the other....really hard to tell with hi index lenses which i tend to despise unless the prescription is so high that it makes even hi index look powerful and i have seen a lot of those lately for some strange reason.....i suspect some of them are goc'ers

i also agree that they should certainly be afforded the opportunity to have 20/20, i'm blessed with that as a result of one of those operations and it has made it posible for me to create my own fanatsy world of guys with all sorts of thick glasses and also i happen to be blessed with several freinds with very high prescriptions who do not mind standing in front of a camera.....soon i hope to actually produce some ceative videos along simular lines with handsome hunks sporting vintage myopic eyeware....

Obsessed 29 Sep 2010, 13:22

That is so true!

I've known people who can see perfect through their -15 coke bottles and others who have problems focusing through -6 glasses.

Contacts and intraocular lenses seem to do a much better job overall. Unfortunately, even with RX as low as -6 some people already prefer contacts because they give them better vision.

Overall, my motto is: vision comes first. If someone can see clearly in their thick glasses, I love that. However, if they cannot do glasses, I will genuinely be happy for them because vision is irreplacible.

James 29 Sep 2010, 11:07

@ Obsessed - I hear what you're saying. What I meant was, I was unaware that there could be such divergent results with glasses and contacts (as the ICL is essentially an implanted contact lens) i.e. that you could be legally blind with one but 20/20 with the other. Thought differences were more slight (with contacts obviously giving better acuity at higher RX's). Live and learn, I guess.

Obsessed 29 Sep 2010, 09:39

@James:

some people cannot be corrected close to 20/20 with glasses because of their phisiology.

if the intraocular lens is the person's only chance to see well, then it must be used.

I love thick glasses myself (that's why I'm here), but I don't think anyone should ever be denied good vision without them if they make such a decision.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azuxqjaXCjg&feature=related

Why they couldn't correct him at least close to 20/20 with glasses if the ICL's get him there is not explained. Or perhaps didn't fit in with the story's angle.

since people have been sharing sightings i would like to share this one which was a little over an hour ago at a flea market in florida. one which i frequent and often see at least one or two myopics per visit...this one i had spotted a couple of weeks ago and this time he was in the shade of one of the indoor sales areas where there was no glare and i was able to get up fairly close, say three feet ...i would say he is latino probably mexican, about 14 to 17 yrs. of age good looking and with coke bottle lenses tinted in lime or say coke bottle green.... at least 1/2 in. thick at the outer edges and myodisc....with black frames wide lenses very deep cut and powerful silverish power rings.....i would say he is no less than -24 d and very obviously his glasses are what you commonly find among teenagers in style as well as being high index, but being so thick and strong they come off much like -17d's in the old cr-39 ers.....definitely the best and strongest glasses i have seen in years, i hope to get to know him sometime soon and do some foto work....meanwhile i am assimulating something of an image to give eveyone an idea what it was like and i'll post in about an hour on my picassa web album which is open to the public.....

tinyeyes 24 Sep 2010, 20:42

Wow... that sighting sounds amazing, James! What city do you live in?

I know how you feel... I have literally had my heart pounding and felt short of breath at sightings like that, when there was a combination of high or very high prescription and attractive guy.... Too bad you couldn't get a picture!

James 24 Sep 2010, 15:26

AMAZING sighting today in the queue to get coffee. Tall (must have been at least 6"3), skinny, handsome guy with at least -14 (honestly, I am very conservative with my estimations, he could have been -17 for all I know - in any event, a CRAZY prescription)....wearing skinny pants, tight white shirt and one of those skinny ties that seem now to be in fashion. Lots of gel in his (thinning) hair, styled in a messed up "bedhead" style....so much gel in fact, it was the smell of it that made me turn around and see him looming over me.

As seems to be de rigeur among the super-myope set these days, frames were wide plastic (but narrow top to bottom) rectangular frames,wide-ish temples, a pale blue in colour. Of course, confronted with this image, it literally takes my breath away, I felt almost winded.....obviously I tried to contrive many reasons to turn around and not seem like a TOTAL creep, but pretty sure I came off creepy (oh well! it was worth it). What made it harder to take a look was that he was looking dead ahead, i.e. at me every time I turned around. He clearly has a fast metabolism, as he got two sausage rolls and two doughnuts. I almost followed him down the street, but checked this possibility as beyond the realm of acceptable.

Cut-in was otherworldly in how extreme it was....you could have seen the whole planet behind him through those lenses, power rings for days.....

Sad thing (from a reality point of view) is, from his dress and demeanour, he could definitely have been gay (a RARITY for someone wearing thick glasses....maybe it was a day off from contacts?). I just go blank in these situations, my mind is an abyss, and the only sentence I could probably construct is I LOVE YOU, which of course is wholly unacceptable in polite society.

I had a frog in my throat as I ordered my coffee.

Resolution not sufficient. Can't tell.

But the fact that one can't tell right away means that even if there is an RX in those specs, it's quite low.

London actually has a glut of high minus sightings....never thought I would say this, but there are actually too many to process. At one point I actually wondered if I was hallucinating from lack of sunlight, but no, they appear to be real.

And when I say high minus, I mean at least double digits.

I have been thinking about it, and I think the prevalence is attributable to two main things:

1) London is a magnet for skilled labour from across Europe, Asia, Africa and even North America. A lot of this skilled labour are the geeky IT types; and

2) While a stylish city, people here have far fewer pretences and/or need for artifice than, in my opinion, the US or other parts of Europe. From this it follows (my theory) that people are far less likely to wear contacts for reasons of pure vanity (i.e. if they don't present clear visual advantages, whether perceived or actual).

thanks james, i too was recently in n.y.c. and for the second time inside of a month and on both visits i found guys with extrodinary heavy prescriptions,and thick glasses to go along with their prescriptions.....no other large city or small town that i have been to has had so many, but i do have several freinds here in tampa, florida who do have extrodinary high prescritions,one almost -15 now and the other with -18 in one eye and -8 in the other...they both wear glasses from time to time with real thick lenses, the one -18 you can see fotos of him on my web album, go back a few messages for the url...hope you enjoy....thanks....tivo....i'll post some of the other guy with -14 on my web album tomorrow morning......

I have recently relocated to the United Kingdom, and WOW, is London ever a place for MIG sightings. In my opinion, it rivals New York City, and even, and this part is almost unbeleiveable, Tokyo (where I lived for 2 years).

A case in point: yesterday I was at Sainsbury's (supermarket) in Balham, and saw a mid 30's ish guy in what were some of the strongest minus I have ever seen on a person who was not otherwise disabled in some way. Now I am a complete sceptic who tends to scoff at posters here who nonchalantly report myodisc and various other high minus sightings. But this guy had to be at least -14 (if I am being conservative) and possibly even -16. This was a handsome, hipstery looking guy (longish wavy hair), but the eyes were like pin pricks behind the lenses.

He had black plastic Armani frames, VERY narrow top to bottom and wide across the face. Had the thick arms in a way blended into the frames (i.e. not a sharp right angle) that obscured what could only be MONSTROUS edge thickness.

The strangest part: he had two kids, a boy and a girl in that indeterminate 8-12 age range - the physical resembleance removed any doubt he was their father, and NEITHER was in glasses. This was interesting to me, as even if their mother has the eyes of a fighter pilot, surely this guy's heavy dispensation for extreme myopia should have dented their genes somehow? Perhaps it is just a matter of time....

Many many other sightings of substantial myopes (and interestingly, hyperopes too) too numerous to mention.

VFL 18 Aug 2010, 21:14

Is there anything cuter than watching a highly myopic guy take off his glasses and rub his tired eyes at the end of the day? Maybe when he puts them back on and blinks hard a few times to try to refocus on the computer. God help me, I need to lie down with an icepack to recover.

russell 18 Aug 2010, 19:18

But oh, isn't he gorgeous!

Cactus Jack 18 Aug 2010, 12:29

Danny,

Very low if any. There is no displacement where the left side of his face is seen through the edge of the lens. Because of the camera angle there could be some correction in them and the displacement would not be obvious.

Danny 18 Aug 2010, 05:08

I'm never very good at estimating plus prescriptions, but this has to be in the double digits. The magnification is intense.

He seems totally accustomed to them. Too bad we can't hear what he's actually saying.

All4Eyes 10 Aug 2010, 21:37

This one's kinda funny. Methinks maybe the girlfriend has some OO tendencies, since she insisted he record an eye test and had tons of reasons why he shouldn't get the surgery.

All4Eyes 10 Aug 2010, 21:20

I know, I guess I'm happy for them too, if getting Lasik makes them happy. I just wish everyone was happy wearing glasses.

eyescene 10 Aug 2010, 20:54

dave 09 Aug 2010, 11:57

Well I mean its their eyes, their vision, they who have to put up with heavy glasses, so if they want surgery it's their privilege; as much as we might like to see them in glasses, it's kind of selfish for us to not want them to do it. Just my 2 cents.

tivosesante 09 Aug 2010, 11:27

i could feel that way i suppose, but rather i just create my own fantasies from foto shop and feel empathetically happy for those guys who get the operation and also get good results, think how wonderful it must be for them.....i have several freinds 10, to be exact who are very myopic and all of them have willingly posed before the lense for me so that i have been able to create the albums i have and to think about, why not go for the most ideal images if we have the tools to do so.....best regards....tivo....p.s. none of them, has yet to go for the operation, due to economic reasons, but many of them use cls. junior does them almost full time, but he is running into trouble all the time needing a higher script....elijah is very stable, but can not do contacts for a long period of time....latelle is going blind in 1 eye and is going for contacts, dayrle has gotten hi index lenses and will not use contacts, would never consider an operation.....and so on.....

Jennifer 09 Aug 2010, 08:45

I completely agree with you All4eyes. It's a tragedy!!!

All4Eyes 08 Aug 2010, 20:01

fracl 03 Aug 2010, 16:35

As to the lasik and other operations, next to making me very sad that someone has invented this, I must say that in Europe (at least the continental part) there seems to be no big rush for it. People know it exists, very few do it but there seems to be no hype. Out of all the people I know only 3 have undergone lasik of which one was forced as he wanted to become a ship captain at that time (he was a -3, and is very unsatisfied by his night vision, plus he wears -0,75 again permanently)

What follows should be no offense to Americans it's just some thing I remark during the plenty of traveling I undertake:

I hope that with lasik it will be like with the automatic gear shift, big success in the US and in Europe a few think they need to have it but it is seen as boring and unmasculine by most that still like to have control over their gears (or the way they can change their look with glasses and contacts).

I also tend to find most Europeans more fashion aware if it come to glasses then the US (leave NYC and SFR out of it) where I find most guys with standard wired framed black glasses, and I tend to find less of a "season" for glasses then I find in Europe where often you can see trends shift within a year or to from plastic to wire to rimless etc.

Other remark that you can comment on: I tend to see a lot of glasses wearing guys in very rural areas where opticians are far away and fashion less important. Then I also find that in big cities there are quite some guys in glasses (often the air is polluted and dusty, and the metro is windy, not nice for contacts and there is usually a sense of fashion that allows you to sand ou of the crowd, hence you can wear you designer glasses). The worst I find is your average boring suburban area or mid-sized city, contacts seem to flourish there :-(

fracl 03 Aug 2010, 16:17

This is one of my favored recent finds. The glasses are by ic! berlin , brilliant glasses manufacturer, a brand that I got to know thanks to two years with a -8 myopic boyfriend who had bought some fabulous wired ic! berlin glasses

Rather then making us sad about all these nasty people how get surgery have a look at this young fellow, it's hard to guess his prescription but the way the lenses are cut it must be over -12 if not he could have gotten normal lenses.

JP 03 Aug 2010, 12:05

In the supermarket the other day was quite a guy in his early twenties with dark rimless non-rx shades up on his hair. But in front of his eyes were fine, medium-strength plus lenses shining like crystals in their small silver wire frame. Now I don't often go for plussies, but this one caught my eye. I wondered how his vision was outside with the shades but no rx.

Soundmanpt 03 Aug 2010, 11:37

Jennifer

i like you have wondered over the past few years why health insurers don't cover more that 10%, if that much towards lasik surgery. It seems they consider it to be cosmetic which is rediculious by most standards. I can actually understand that contact lenses come under cosmetic, because they are only an option instead of wearing glasses. Lasik even though this site is dead set against it as we all want people to wear glasses as much as possible is a basic cure for many vision conditions these days for many people. It has become advanced now to the point of near perfection. I tell people all the time I do think it will happen that insurance companies will someday cover it in full. Sadly that will be bad for us guys that like looking at a beautiful lady wearing glasses full time. Currently cost is the main thing keeping many from getting the surgery done.

By the way, have you found glasses that don't slip down while your working in the ER?

Jennifer 03 Aug 2010, 10:19

Having worked in health care in America for a number of years, I've always asked myself why the vision care industry doesn't cover lasik, etc as a benefit. If these procedures are a sure correction to vision, why not make it a covered benefit. Instead most vision benefit cover an eye exam and glasses every two years. When insurance companies start offering lasik as a covered benefit, is when the insurance companies are convinced of safety, cost saving, and permance of these procedures.

For example, in California insurance is covering gastric bypass surgeries for morbid obesity. The positive outcome of the surgery has convinced health care executive of the cost saving of these patients. This surgery is very expensive and requires several days of inpatient care in a hospital.

So when is lasik going to be widely accepted by insurance and covered as a benefit?

James 03 Aug 2010, 09:52

Just for the record, I was joking about the oversight committee. I am a militant libertarian in "real" life. It is your life and your eyes to do with what you will.

What I was not joking about was that people (whether having LASIK/ICL/whatever refractive procedure) DO tend to conflate "curing" their myopia with "correcting" it.

Because these procedures remove the need for external implements (contacts/glasses), people either forget (or don't understand in the first place) that the pathology of high myopia is still present. In my experience, this is true of even otherwise intelligent and educated people.

Cactus Jack 03 Aug 2010, 09:00

The Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) discussed in the videos is replaceable and therefore changeable. Unlike the IOLs used in cataract surgery which replaces the natural crystaline lens, the Visian lens is placed between the Iris and the crystaline lens, like an internal contact lens and it can be removed. The crystaline lens is not affected and it retains its ability to provide the focusing function for close vision. I have not checked the available powers for the Visian lenses, but I suspect the reason the -22 patient required additional PRK is that the the Visian lenses do not go quite high enough in power to fully correct his vision.

Note that the patients are all older than the mid 20s. I doubt any eye surgeon would consider ICLs for any patient whose vision was not stable. Even if there were some changes, they would be small and if the -22 patient wound up needing + or - 1.00 glasses or CLs, that would be almost insignificant compared to -21.00 or -23.00 glasses. I am sure the patients are well aware that the ICLs cannot alter the risks associated with very high myopia, but the risks would be there with either glasses, contacts, or ICLs.

To my knowledge, Visian lenses are not available in plus powers which would be of interest to those wishing to be more myopic. However, the minus lenses might be ideal for those wishing to be hyperopic (Tino?) if you can find someone willing to implant them. Because they do not become permanently attached to internal tissue in the eye, they can be removed if you change your mind, but it requires surgery.

For those wishing for more oversight. Remember, the ICLs had to undergo years of testing before approval was granted in the first place. But for increased assurance, perhaps this would be a good task for the Ministry of Vision. If the MoV gave their approval, you KNOW proper procedures would be followed and all implants would be 100% successful. If, by some billions to one chance, your procedure was not successful, you could complain to the Ministry of Complaints, just down the hall from the Ministry of Silly Walks, and they could put you on the list for your formal hearing to get on the list for having the problem fixed.

Jennifer 03 Aug 2010, 07:59

Wonder why they wouldn't have the guy in RGP lenses not wear his glasses? As a commercial to sell the procedure, it makes more sense to show how thick and strong looking his glasses are. It would convince the viewer more. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my end. I agree with the unregulated aspect of the these surgeries. Does anyone have statitics to show how many end up back in glasses after a few years? All of us have heard of the bad outcomes.

tinyeyes 03 Aug 2010, 07:03

Well said, James. I think you might be right about the lack of oversight of this industry. I'll be right there beside you on the council, LOL!

James 03 Aug 2010, 01:20

I am enjoying these ICL testimonials a lot! I found two more I enjoyed:

This guy was -15 (!!!) in his worse eye, and you can really picture him needing those coke bottles (something about big puppy eyes always signifies high myopia to me)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvUqrsHh48c

This guy you at least get to see in RGP lenses before his surgery (closest we're getting to "before" shots I think). Added bonus: you also see him getting helped blindly to the table....alas, no glasses in sight.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8jiLloWi3E&feature=related

What worries me about this industry in general, though (in addition to the obvious, i.e. that they're helping people get rid of glasses!) is that they seem to be making otherwise intelligent people think that this is CURING their myopia, rather than just CORRECTING the error in much the same way (albeit more conveniently) as glasses or contacts.

I think this explains the nonchalance of the -22 guy - he clearly believes his myopia is cured. Otherwise he would NOT be going skydiving at that Rx. Any responsible opthalmologist would tell him that, at that Rx (which he still has, just corrected), he is at ALARMING risk for retinal detachment, cracks, tears etc when doing things like skydiving, scuba diving etc.

Also, the fact that they did PRK on a -22 (where they are actually SCRAPING at your cornea, or at least part of your eye) is completely outrageous to me. The industry definitely needs more oversight. I submit myself as head of the oversight council that will grant/deny high myopes applications for refractive surgery. I will be very strict.

tinyeyes 02 Aug 2010, 20:17

Nice job faking the pic of the -22 ICL guy. It's surprising how nonchalant the guy in the video is about his surgery -- I mean, if he was -22.00, it's truly a miracle for him to get to 20/20 without glasses! It's hard to imagine him in -22.00 glasses (and can contacts even correct that high an error?) But I guess it's true.... it just seems strange that his testimonial is about the same as someone with a -5.00 talking about how they can swim without glasses now, etc.

I would have loved to see Aaron Luna in glasses as well. Of course, with his .240 career minor-league average, he should have just skipped the Lasix and become an umpire. Even sans glasses he could see better than 105% of those already in the big leagues.

Thanks to this new implantable contact lens procedure, even the super high myopes can rid themselves of glasses/contacts. At least it's reversible -- without the implant, his eyes are still just as myopic as ever.

I definetely agree with Yasmin, this is an amazing place to share and enjoy this unique fetish. I truly thought I was the only one who felt aroused by glasses.

I am a 29 yrs old, my rx is -7.50 in each eye, and I wear contacts a lot more often than glasses. It probably has to do with the fact that I feel self conscious of wearing them in public, mostly because of my prescription. Still I find girls who wear glasses an a big turn on.

Hi all,

what a great place to enjoy my fetish - somehow it could not be that I was the only one.

I am a 28 old woman, contacts wearer almost full time, -6/-7. I feel very unconfortable in glasses and I find it's a turn on so see a guy who is just the same.

I have to say that I am estimatig the power of lenses since I am 14?/15 y.o. I just didn't know the word "cut-in".

So I enyojed your sightings very much. So I gonna give you one of mine, some years ago.

I went home form a club with a really hendsome guy, very athletic, musculous and a great dancer. After making out a bit, he excused me to take out his contact lenses. Wow - how great was that? Than he dissapeared into bathroom, came back to the bed and while sitting next to me, he pulled out his contacts. Absolutely Amazing. He told me that he is like -7. At that time I was still -5 and so it sounded strong to me. He did not put on his glasses and so I was sure, that his vision must have been blurry. Later he dissapeared again into bathroom and I was able to make out his glasses on the writing desk. Silver rectangular metal frames with nice and stong looking leses.

A beautiful sighting yesterday afternoon. A guy 18-20 out with his family wearing silver semi-rimless - the type that's hinged at top squared corners, with rounder edges to the bottom of the lenses. The striking thing was his new and deliciously thick lenses glinting in the bright sunlight. A standard-index -5, I'd say, when so few do standard index now. I love the way new lenses appear so clean and bright.

Tinyeyes,

Blind links are just a link with no accompanying text describing the content. They are much more likely to result in requests for removal from the content owner. To cut down on aggravation among Flickr and YouTube users, as well as bloggers, I ask that links come with some basic description.

It's also a courtesy to users here, so we can decide if it's worth a click or not.

Your flickr link is fine. But I still wouldn't have any idea what's behind your YouTube link unless I clicked on it. How about "French guy with rimless" or something?

Hope this helps.

On another note, Sweden's Princess Victoria was marreied yesterday to a commoner named Daniel Westling. Look up the wedding pictures--he proudly sports some pretty hefty lenses in a thick black frame, unusual for something as formal as a wedding picture.

James 20 Jun 2010, 03:16

jo 19 Jun 2010, 10:14

ok.... i think i like his old gasses better...something's not quite right with the new pair...but it's just my opinion.

btw, how old is elijah? does he own any older pairs of glasses? will be keen to have a look.

Also, any idea why he is so willing to pose for the pictures? Do u know him very well? Does he know that his pictures will be subjected to the fantasies and imagination of some of us here?

Dave 07 Jun 2010, 07:46

Tinyeyes -- You might have got a few years older but certainly you're getting better! No kidding. The first photo's the best since it isn't dark and your glasses are really hot. You should wear them more often.

I'm about -9.5 in glasses these days. I'm a little younger than David Lee King, so no readers yet, but I feel it coming. In RGP contacts I'm about -8.5.

Dave 31 May 2010, 09:40

Hey Tinyeyes -- How strong are you glasses now? I agree with you that David King is a hottie: not great-looking just so sexy.

tinyeyes 31 May 2010, 08:08

Thanks for that -- David Lee King is so sexy. He's -12.0 and he looks so good in his powerful specs. He also has readers he wears with his contacts, but of course I much prefer him in his coke bottles!

Chrissi 01 Apr 2010, 18:04

Have any of you out there seen the movie Gattaca? I watched it recently in my biology class, and I was wondering if those glasses were Ethan Hawke's real ones?

It's an oldish movie. there was this one scene where he had to cross the road with no correction and the camera viewpoint is all blurry..

Hey Jennifer - he was convicted for marijuana possession - so not exactly white collar, but hardly a mass murderer either.

Here's another shot of him, which shows that first picture was no trick of the camera, this is a SERIOUS Rx (any guesses?):

Jennifer 30 Mar 2010, 09:52

Very interesting find, Sam. I wonder how the other inmates treat him? Does he get teased or is he a tough guy that no one messes with. Did he commit a white collar crime? Or is he a bespetacled thug? Makes me wonder. I enjoy seeing glasses on those guys we wouldn't imagine usually wearing glasses.

tinyeyes 29 Mar 2010, 19:55

I do find that hot. He probably sleeps with his glasses on or under his pillow.

If he woke up without them in reach he'd be helpless.

Found this (amongst many others) while doing a project on the Florida penal system.

Nice strong Rx. As an OO, I of course like to imagine others stealing and/or breaking his glasses. Sadistic? Maybe, but there are no rules for fantasy.

More to follow.

Robert 28 Mar 2010, 15:34

Cactus Jack 12 Mar 2010, 08:01

mattp,

You can get and idea of the approximate size of a glasses wearers field of vision by observing the appearance of the eye from the side. This is because most optical systems actually work in both directions - looking out and looking in.

If you look closely at the glasses as the young man turns his head, his eye disappears from your view point very soon after he begins to turn his head away from the camera. When you can no longer see his pupil, he cannot see objects at that angle (actually, a bit less) from his central axis of vision. He likely has very poor peripheral vision. Strong plus glasses tend to act like telescopes or telephoto lenses because of the vertex distance of the lenses from the cornea. The enlarge and focus the image on the retina, but reduce the visual field.

Minus lenses can have an opposite effect. If you look closely at a person wearing fairly strong minus glasses, you can see their eye at pretty close to 90 degrees from their central axis of vision. They, of course, minify the image and act, to some extent. as wide angle lenses.

Very high plus or minus lenses tend to provide the best visual acuity when the central axis of vision coincides with the optical center of the lens. This means that people who need lenticular plus lenses or myodisc minus lenses are pretty much forced to keep their eyes looking through the center of the lens and move their head rather than their eye to see things well that are off the optical center of the lens.

P.S The two way characteristics of optical systems is why the examiner can determine your approximate Rx by looking in your eye with an opthalmoscope, retinoscope, or auto-refractor.

tinyeyes 12 Mar 2010, 07:09

Dave is very cute! I'm usually not that into plus but he's an exception! The frames are very small for such a strong plus rx, aren't they?

mattp 12 Mar 2010, 05:41

Here's some strong plusses--I wonder what Dave's field of vision is like with his glasses on! Yet I suspect without them, things are pretty blurry.

Anyone following the "Jihad Jane" story today will have heard the name Lars Vilks. He's a controversial Swedish cartoonist at the centre of an alleged murder plot, but most importantly, a SERIOUS myope!

For me, he's the archetypal sexy older guy, but I could be biased by the glasses.

What do you guess his Rx is? I'm gonna say double digits for sure?

I am with tinyeyes on this one, not sure of the rx but his right eye seems stronger. Cute dude

Myopic Grant 22 Feb 2010, 08:32

When you look at him in the pictures straight on, the cut-in looks about the same. I would say he's in the -6 to -7 range...

tinyeyes 22 Feb 2010, 07:30

Is it me, or is his right eye more myopic than his left? There seems to be a lot more cut-in on the right side. LIke maybe a -7/-10. He's a really sexy guy...

Jonnie4eyes 12 Jan 2010, 10:59

I mainly agree with you guys. One other point: I'd have expected more cut-in and power rings for the thickness (compare with geektron's images).

Whatever the deal, though, I've rather fallen for him. (And I found him first, Tinyeyes!)

Maybe he's going through a 'Jey Ping Phase' - a high myope making the very most of it. JP seems to have moved on. Pity. But he hasn't completely disappeared:

http://www.jeyping.com/photos/16s.htm

tinyeyes 11 Jan 2010, 23:57

I agree on all counts, EXCEPT someone with a high RX like that might be wearing RGP contacts, which usually cause a more "squinty" appearance rather than the more glassy-eyed look of a soft lens. But I still think it's a fake. Cute cute guy though!

James 11 Jan 2010, 23:06

Definitely a faker/GOCer - here are the signs:

1. NOBODY who genuinely has a double digits prescriptios DOESN'T try to get the thinnest glasses possible;

2. 95% of the photos on the flickr are about the glasses, and make explicit reference to the glasses, indicating a fetishist;

3. Even high myopes don;t have their prescriptions "double" in "a few years". And in the rare instance that it did, you would surely be AWARE of this from your escalating contacts prescription....?

4. The photo where he is supposedly wearing contacts reveals that he does not have the tell-tale big, doe-eyes of double digit myopes.

Wish it was real though....

tinyeyes 11 Jan 2010, 20:50

I'm suspicious.

lentifan 11 Jan 2010, 11:30

They look real enough to me. He complains about the thickness, but some of us would give our right arms to be able to wear glasses like that. And some meddler is offering to get him thinner lenses. Away with you!

Cactus Jack 04 Jan 2010, 04:27

Guest,

The picture is not very good, but it appears that there may be a significant amount of Base Out prism involved. The inner edge is hard to discern, but it appears to be very thin compared to the outer edge of the lenses and there is a pronounced prismatic shape to the lenses. Could be in the vicinity of 15/15 BO, but you really can't tell much about the overall Rx and nothing about his orientation.

Guest 04 Jan 2010, 01:30

Well, I give a damn. How often do you see glasses this thick? Is he gay?

Yes, the bit at the end of that last video '20 in 24' is amazing too, where he's just finished & he's all hot and sweaty with his hair sticking up.. mmm!

James 03 Dec 2009, 07:37

He does it for me too. Havent't been able to focus all day!

If you go to their website, http://www.seeo3run.com/ in the last video, he references his poor eyesight, saying he can't see well during the day, let alone at night.

Hot!

VFL 03 Dec 2009, 06:47

on the contrary, particularly the second one is very handsome. Although, of course, de gustibus non est disbutandum, there is no need to be nasty. Also it is not very polite to contribute such remarks and remain anonymous.

tinyeyes 01 Dec 2009, 20:22

That's not very nice. I'm sure there are people here who would find these guys attractive, and if you don't, just move on or find more great links. There is no need to post negative comments like that.

tinyeyes 24 Nov 2009, 12:44

Yes, he was fantastic, but somehow the blond guy with sixties horn-rims was even better! Maybe because his look and style suggested that he normally or at least sometimes wears contacts, which is something I like.

Obsessed 23 Nov 2009, 20:49

Tinyeyes -

That bald guy is strong specs was definitely a fantastic sighting!

tinyeyes 22 Nov 2009, 21:53

Good day for glasses sightings today --

First at the gym, a hot bald/shaved bearded middle-eastern type guy with super powerful minus coke bottles (maybe -9 or 10)... it was nice watching him do situps lying down so that the thick concave edges of his lenses were visible...

Then, a hipster tattooed guy with long straight blond hair at the supermarket (with wife and child in tow) wearing big 60s retro frame black glasses. Deep cut in and power rings and also around -8 or 9d. I got the impression he was taking a weekend break from contacts. Nice....

Obsessed 22 Nov 2009, 14:00

Cactus Jack 15 Nov 2009, 14:47

Kevin & guest.

I think that most myopic men over 35 have become so used to wearing their glasses that they are simply part of their wardrobe. By then, they are probably well beyond any vanity considerations and prefer the good vision provided by the glasses. Vanity may occasionally raise it head when presbyopia gets them and they have to consider bifocals or progressives.

Kevin 15 Nov 2009, 14:25

Maybe it's just a stereotype on my part but most men over 35 if they're myopic tend to wear there glasses all the time no matter how strong they are.

guest 15 Nov 2009, 05:57

Kevin

What do you mean, at his age its usually all the time no matter what the strength is? Do you mean older men tend to wear fulltime even if not very strong??

Kevin 14 Nov 2009, 15:42

I saw Ricky too. I think he is only around -2 so I think it might be a personal choice to wear glasses. Though you don't see many men his age that wear glasses for short sight only sometimes, its usally all the time no matter what the strength is.

guest 14 Nov 2009, 13:10

and good news - he's thru to next week so let's see if he's wearing them then. Anyone have any screen caps?

First bespectacled contestant I've seen on the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing is Eastenders' Ricky Groves - don't know who he plays as I'm not a fan. Have seen him in rehearsals with specs but never on the programme. When people commented he said "it's the first time I've seen what everyone looks like". New prescription I wonder?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/strictlycomedancing/couples/2009/ricky_erin.shtml

Myopic Grant 13 Nov 2009, 08:02

Yeah, I think around -6 on those glasses. He's cute even though he's definitely got the whole Jeffrey Dahmer 1980's glasses going on. I'm sure he has different frames now with that being 10 years ago. I'm surprised someone like him who would endure that kind of jarring wouldn't opt for contacts...glad he doesn't though.

Obsessed 12 Nov 2009, 17:37

I think he's around -5.5~6 D.

Check the video out at 2:58 -> the cut-ins are so hot there!

Another recent sighting...

We were on the road in Long Island going to the North Fork. Got stuck in traffic at some point. As we stood there in the jam, a car pulled over next to us. There were two people in the cae - a driver and a passenger. They were discussing something actively. The driver was a gorgeos middle-aged American with a classical goatee and an amazing arms and hands. He turned his head in our direction once and stared at me for a second, but the look in his eyes was very empty for some reason. After a minute or two a couple of cars in front of us moved a foot or two forward, so the hot driver of that car was stopped from talking by his passenger and asked to go forward, as well. Can you imagine how delighted I was when I saw that he took a pair of ridiculously strong negative glasses off his lap and put them on his face? His RX was probably in mid double digits. Definitely over -12. Amazing... I was happy like a puppy :) The guy looked at the road and squinted a few times (probably checking if the focus was right ;)). Very nice thing to see in the middle of a difficult day.

ObsessedWithSpecs 22 Aug 2009, 19:34

I had a very cool sighting today. I was taking a little walk in New York with a friend of mine. I kind of felt hungry-ish and asked my friend if we could go somewhere and have a bite to eat.

When we entered the cute little Indian restaurant on the corner of the street and ordered our meals, a man walked into the restaurant with a woman (probably his wife) and sat down at the table next to ours.

He was probably half-Latin-American, in his mid 40's. Not slim, but not terribly overweighed. Very good looking. And on the tip of his nose he had a pair of fairly strong plus glasses (Rx +5..6). They added so much to his looks! I was even slightly disappointed that they were all the way down on the tip of his nose - clearly a pair of reading glasses (quite strongish though). He was going through the menu...

My friend distracted me for a while, and I got back to looking at that man after about 10 minutes. By that time we had all gotten our meals and were enjoy eating. The man's glasses were still down on the tip of his nose. Suddenly something really noisy went by on the street.

(suprise)

The man lifted his head, looked up, realized that he was totally helpless --- and slid his glasses all the way up to the bridge of his nose in order to make out what was going on out on the street.

I was delighted completely. One of those moments when one feels there IS heaven on Earth!

Didn't com across any of him in contacts. But I imagine his face would look "naked" in contacts - tends to be the case for people with high RX's anyway

The Nokia guy is great. I like all his frames! With that cut-in and those tiny blue eyes, I would say he's right around -10 or maybe -11. Very sexy RX....

Cactus Jack 08 Aug 2009, 11:00

Tinyeyes,

I don't normally pay much attention to this thread, but I think you are correct in asking if this is an "enhanced picture". The cut in does not appear to me to be optically correct. You can see the temples in the cut in, his hair line and the colored back drop, but no obvious ears for the temples to be resting on. If you enlarge the image there still are no ears. He may be myopic, but not as myopic as it appears.

tinyeyes 08 Aug 2009, 09:00

Did you guys see Baco's pictures of Jeff Shroeder?

In the US Big Brother, one of the contestants, Jeff wears glasses occassionally. My heart fluttered a little during a competition and he said, "I think I just lost a contact." And sure enough, later on that night, he was talking in the Diary Room wearing glasses. An already GORGEOUS man, but the glasses take him over the top.

-14 is about what I was thinking. The glasses are pretty large for such a strong RX -- I bet they're quite thick. I really have a bad case of glasses fetish, because to most people this guy is a mega-nerd (even without the glasses) -- but I find him attractive.

James 07 Jul 2009, 07:02

His left eye in particular is SUPERMYOPIC. You could see the whole world through that cut-in, if he wasn;t standing against a wall.

I would have to guess that Mr. Helms's glasses are more in the range of -6 to -8, just because mine are -7.5, and I have noticed about the same minification looking straight on, that is -- the amount of inset of one's face/head as it is reduced through the outer edge of the lens. At any rate, nice to see a star unabashedly wearing some powerful glasses.

tinyeyes 19 Jun 2009, 23:03

James-- thanks, those are great photos of Ed Helms that I hadn't seen! He is indeed a hottie in his glasses. Amazing cut-in on some of those photos! He must hate wearing contacts, because he is seen in glasses quite a lot. I think he wears hard contacts, by the way. I agree that the RX is very close to -9 or -10. Yummy! It's especially amazing to see a famous actor wearing glasses so powerful in public. Now if only Jake Gyllenhaal would wear his!

Tinyeyes - wow! We must have very similar tastes, you have snowballed a total Ed Helms fixation for the past few days. I even look at him differently now in The Office (where his character never wears glasses) and it now seems OBVIOUS he's in some seriously strong contacts.

What do you think his Rx is? I'd venture -9 or even -10, but I;m quite bad at estimating.

The other day I logged on to bukbuddies for the first time in ages, to find that the latest feature was a remake of 'The Band' featuring Dylan and Judd, both of them in glasses in quite a lot of the shots. The pics are mixture of new ones and 2003 shots, but they weren't available before - without paying to join, that is. These are the first 'new' shots of Dylan in glasses for five years, though he was squinting in some more recent ones, so I guess he hasn't gone for contacts, let alone lasik. It's no longer the 'front page' feature, but you can find it at http://www.bukbuddies.com/bukbuddies/dylan/catalog7/catalog.html

There are two best glasses moments in the video:

1. when he takes off the glasses and blinks confusedly at the audience

2. much later in the video, after they show the clip of the reality show that JT is producing, Jimmy says "you're going to get sued for that show. You'll have to sell those glasses" and JT looks amused but embarassed...

I have just one thing to say to all you adorable men who need glasses... Stop looking so darned cute because you are distracting me from things I really need to get done.

That is all.

Julian 05 May 2009, 00:46

Let's hope not. This quote suggests not:

When the famous singer Justin Timberlake appeared with glasses on his nose last week, everyone thought that it was just a part of his new image. However, the singer admitted that unfortunately, a new fashion accessory is not in question, and that he needs the glasses for his poor eyesight.

Whilst on the late night show �Jimmy Kimmel Live!�, Justin said to Jimmy �That�s just ridiculous... I can see you, but I can�t see any of you� (audience).

Timberlake is short sighted, and does not have a problem with having to wear glasses.

�I�ve embraced it (bad eyesight). Obviously I�ve made a commitment with these glasses. I�m good� says Justin.

On further reflection, I am thinking the recent glasses wearing may point to upcoming LASIK......?

I have never actually seen Justin Timberlake in glasses, so these recent photos were surprising. I had kind of decided he was one of those celebs who would NEVER wear their glasses in public.

While the Rx seems disappointing, and he does NOTHING for me sans specs, the glasses do get him a second (ok, and third) look from me.

Any guesses on the (mild) Rx?

I've just checked out Bukbuddies for the first time in ages, and there's a new model called Max at http://www.bukbuddies.com/bukbuddies/max/max.html In a few shots he's wearing glasses - oblong, white wire frames, look like low minus - and in a few more they're dangling from his vest. That's quite something for Bukbuddies these days; a few years ago it seemed as if any guy who had glasses would wear them for a few shots: Dylan, Darrel, Derrek, Daniel, and of course Jude and Simeon who were never without them.

I already thought he was pretty hot, but this is amazing!

All4Eyes 21 Apr 2009, 09:23

Tinyeyes, you did catch the only episode of American Idol where Darling Danny wasn't bespectacled. When I saw it I thought how much more fun that would have been back in pre-contacts days when you'd know he was bare-eyed and blurry, instead of wondering and thinking he's probably in CL's. But I think maybe he just enjoys being bare-eyed sometimes, because in some of the off-stage things I've noticed he will be wearing glasses at one moment, off the next and back again. I do strongly suspect he is One Of Us and I've considered sending him a bit of fanmail to inform him of our whereabouts, but I'm not sure, I understand some people are a little freaked out by us, at least at first 8-/. Anyway, I'd say -5 is a pretty accurate-sounding rx guess, I don't think -4 or less, I'm -4 and they do look a bit stronger than my glasses.

tinyeyes 18 Apr 2009, 08:51

I think I probably saw the one time he didn't wear glasses on American Idol, but I now realize he wears them a LOT. I don't know if he's got a fetish, but he definitely likes them as a fashion statement! I thought his RX was like -5, but now it seems more like -4 or less. I read one article that said his vision is 20/200.

James 17 Apr 2009, 00:43

Tinyeyes,

On the contrary, Danny Gokey is a total OO glasses fetishist who seems to favour glasses over contacts. Granted we're a bit behind here, but so far, he has worn a different pair of glasses in every episode, and NONE of them are rimless, blend into your face glasses, they're loud and proud.

I even read an interview in which he rhapsodises on how much he LOVES glasses.

What do you think his Rx is?

tinyeyes 14 Apr 2009, 21:05

I haven't been watching American Idol this season, but hey! Check out Danny Gokey -- usually in contacts, but also sometimes in glasses (at least offstage)!

Just do an image search on google for him to see glasses pics. Maybe -5ish?

Clare 14 Apr 2009, 14:05

We watched Gok's Fashion Fix tonight on Channel 4 and thought his over large glasses were a little overdone. Shame because his slightly less large frames in the previous series were rather stylish. Not sure I get this retro/big thing.

matt P, I saw Michael Jordan's son on Yahoo. I also read some of the comments posted about his picture. Some comments included, "With the money his father has, you'd think he'd be able to afford contact lenses." Another person questioned why he didn't have lasik done on his eyes. I was surprised by the hostility towards his glasses and the goggles he wears while playing basketball.

Carter--Where/what is chicken island?

On another note, watch the news for Marcus Jordan, Michael Jordan's son. He wears glasses all the time--even playing basketball--he seems to have a significant but not huge amount of nearsightedness. His choice of Central Florida for a college is a news item on yahoo, and video clips of him are all over youtube.

One of the times that the Folger's commercial was aired was a couple of weeks ago on HGTV during Design on a Dimes Top 35 tips episode. In that episode, Spencer, one of the designers, who's a myope, mentions that he got the job because they liked his glasses.

hey, TINY EYES how about joining this conversation, ciao

marsh 21 Mar 2009, 14:48

Hi VFL, interesting, I have the same problem. I never told countless others what the few told me. Who knows what the future would have held in store? I think they were all good people and no mistakes. VFL, you still did not give me your RX and age? I'll give you one more story- (I was invited to the home of someone i was doing business with in pa. when i got to his house his w was a -15 and a good cook,(I was -11 then) I of course said nothing about our coke bottles and had a good prime rib dinner. Years later, he told me he got divorced and remarried an old gf from wva. Several month after, he knew i was in ohio temporarily and after going away for weekend, i found a note that his ex was at friend for weekend in ncanton and looked me up to call her there. I got back tuesday, called her friend and she said, "where was i, __ came all the way here just to see me. I never called back, embarrased.) Later,VFL, come back with those answers! have you been to lenschat? ciao

VFL 21 Mar 2009, 06:43

So it seems that all of these women had very substantial prescriptions of their own. Interesting.

I'm not a shrink. I've spent years trying to figure out why I love men in glasses so, though. Maybe that counts?

It is not only the glasses that attracts me. The man has to be attractive to me anyway. But the glasses have to be there to complete the attraction. So I would say that what is going on wit;h me is a fetish, though not in the purest sense of the word. That said, I have been very vulnerable emotionally because of this. There are several times in my life when the man behind the glasses was not worthy of the affection I bestowed upon him. I got it all mixed up in my mind because the attraction to the glasses was so strong. This derailed my younger, single life in more ways than one.

I never came right out and told a man that his glasses turned me on. One did say that he thought that they did. I didn't answer. Wonder what would have happened if I had. I'm afraid it may have diffused the magic.

That's all for now.

marsh 20 Mar 2009, 14:49

VFL, you're something else. I felt all you said, it was long ago. one(a-13) stated the thick glasses attracted her, she didnt know why, but then she liked what was behind them, I believed her, another (-7)after pushing on sofa said she was attracted to the glasses - but didnt want me wearing them inside, she didnt either in her house?? There are more but not now. I was suprised, embarrased and relieved because i was self conscious too. The relationships did not last, -7 was too princess and spender$ (she married rich canadian)and -13 went back to school, with her kids, to be a psych. Yes its different? Yes it was "tingling" not to be worried about whether or not date liked the coke bottles (I hated c. lenses) I was self consious as youger person, now i dont care. Are you a psych? or similar or what? Whats your RX? tell me about your situations - in detail ciao marsh

VFL 20 Mar 2009, 14:08

Really, Marsh? Tell me what those girlfriends said to you when they admitted that they liked your glasses? How did that make you feel? Did you believe them? Were you surprised? Embarrassed? A bit shy? Were you more aware of your glasses after they "declared" themselves? If so, in what way?

I wear glasses myself...contacts more often so I "know" what it is like to need correction. There's nothing very romantic to it in reality, but the idea of it in a partner is something quite different. Wonder why that is.

marsh 20 Mar 2009, 09:47

b4 I saw this site, it was unusual for anyone to admit this but a few gf's did, I subconsciously felt everyone was looking at me, in younger days, at -11 with coke bottles. I am now at 60, cataract implants for the -11, with -4 left over in glasses, with the new interest and openness, I'd wear the -15's !!

VFL 20 Mar 2009, 08:00

Yes, it is the "almost never takes them off" part that is so endearing. Even when they come off for just a moment or two, it can be such an emotionally charged moment. Once a man I was absolutely crazy about was sitting next to me, in the middle of a conversation he took them off to polish them and looked me in the eye (how much he could see was debatable because of the thickness of those lenses) in such an intense way that I nearly had a heart attack. I will go to my grave believing that he knew exactly what he was doing to me. If he had taken off his clothes it wouldn't have sent more of a message in my mind. A few moments later, he turned back to the task at hand and in the act of replacing the glasses, the spell was broken and normalcy returned. It has been years and I still remember.

Kevin 20 Mar 2009, 02:03

Does anyone know if there's a gay dating site for guys in glasses?

tinyeyes 19 Mar 2009, 21:17

I dated one guy who was about a -9, and when he slept together, he would put on his glasses if we woke up at night, even in the darkness. I guess he could see a little in the darkness and he wanted to be able to see it clearly. He also put on glasses to use the bathroom etc. during the night, even if not turning on the light.

On another subject, I had a good sighting today at the gym -- haven't had that many lately! Very tall white guy, late 30s or early 40s, light complexion with brown wavy hair, and (of course) extremely strong minus lenses. The frames were metal and were very small to keep the lens thickness down, but they were still thick with deep cut-in. I think he was around -12 or so. I see that even though larger frames are in vogue these days, the really high myopes are still wearing small styles, out of necessity. I find that very sexy of course. Tiny glasses work very well for tiny eyes!

eustace 19 Mar 2009, 20:19

VFL: I'm with you! I particularly responded to your "almost never takes them off." I have fantasies about guys who almost never take them off--even to shave, shower, swim, make love, or have sex. Nothing is more exciting that the guy who does not take his glasses off until he is in bed and has turned out the lights, who puts them on if he must go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and who gropes for them first thing in the morning before he gets out of bed. The thicker the better. And bifocals, trifocals, and prisms are even more of a turn-on. I love that image of helplessness. I even have some fantasies about guys who are so insecure without their glasses that they sleep with them on!

Doreen 19 Mar 2009, 00:34

VFL: I absolutebly agree with you!!

jo 18 Mar 2009, 19:32

hi.. it's so rare i see someone from singapore... i'm from singapore too, practise GOC and gay... any chance of chatting more? email me at iwannabemyopic@gmail.com:)

Eric 18 Mar 2009, 02:59

Kevin, I would say nearly all men in Singapore are nearsighted. Many are wearing contacts, but still the vast majority in glasses. Even with those middle-aged and older, rarely to do you see a pair of regular reading glasses---most are nearsighted with an add for close-up work.

VFL 17 Mar 2009, 13:50

Without fail, a handsome man who wears glasses and tickles my fancy, can drive me absolutely crazy by removing those glasses to either polish them or rub his eyes. Extra points if he almost never takes the darned things off. There is a strange intimacy in that act.

Am I the only one to feel that way?

Kevin 17 Mar 2009, 11:27

Eric that story is amazing. Is it like that everywhere in Singapore?

By over here I mean America, have you noticed more young children are wearing glasses. Where I work when I notice a kid with glasses, there is normally a myopic parent if not both and strong RX.

Cactus Jack 17 Mar 2009, 06:51

Kevin,

I'm not sure where "over here" is, but I have seen evidence of connecting glasses with intelligence or education occuring in the US.

Some years ago, I noticed a small group of 3 or 4 teen males in a local supermarket, all wearing glasses. At one point, I got close enough to overhear their conversation and notice that none of the glasses had any prescription, in fact the lenses still had the tiny designer logos that you find on glasses on display in optical shops. Their conversation was in English and it was obviously their mother language, but it was also obvious they hadn't paid much attention to proper usage in class.

Apparently, these young dim bulbs felt that wearing the non-Rx glasses would make them appear smarter, improve their grades (?), or perhaps make them appear more attractive to potential mates. There is an old saying that if the girls were attracted to boys that walked around on their hands, many hands would have calluses.

I later wondered, but not for long, how they got their glasses.

Eric 17 Mar 2009, 05:31

I am an accountant in Singapore. We used to have only one guy in our office who did not wear glasses for nearsightedness. After working here about a year, one day he comes in wearing glasses---strength looked very weak, but I think he did not want to be out-of-sync. Now he wears glasses all the time.

Kevin 17 Mar 2009, 03:06

Do you think that trend will follow over here? My dad is -5, now I'm a -8, I have 3 brothers and they're all myopic, although I have the strongest glasses.

Cactus Jack 16 Mar 2009, 19:22

Kevin,

Unless there is a genetic technique developed to cure myopia, I suspect that it will only take a few more generations for almost all to be myopic. There will likely be a very few who aren't, but most will be. That population is very prone to myopia and the ones who study, become prosperous, and have children, who study, become more prosperous, etc. will likely overwhelm the rest. People in Singapore are pretty intelligent to start with and I suspect that high myopia is associated with scholarship in the society. Those few who aren't myopic will probably try to induce myopia, do GOC, or have some form of surgical "correction" so they will not appear less scholarly than the rest of the population because of group pressure.

Kevin 16 Mar 2009, 18:20

I just read that 90% of students in Singapore are myopic, now I'm just wondering how long do you think it will be until the entire population are myopic. My guess is around 2080, what does everyone else think.

I went to the Eye Doc -- getting bifocals with 1.50 add. He said that will make a big difference. I ordered progressives. Also, I got some readers to wear over my contacts.

I pick up the glasses tomorrow.

guest 555 - it is not the retinal detachment that causes high myopia, but the other way around.

your prescription after a detachment is usually the same, it is just the visual acuity that may have worsened, depending how quickly it was repaired.

also, it's not only the extreme myopes at risk - anyone over -5/-6 (which i suppose non-OO's WOULD consider very high) is potentially at risk, because their retinas are stretched very thin.

Here's a good article on the main ways to repair retinal detachments:

Tell me about you and your glasses jojo:) Except maybe as you are a girl we should move to another thread:) My real forte is blonde women wearing heavy minus in black rectangular plastic frames:) drool...............Pete

ehpc 05 Feb 2009, 18:28

You sound seriously cool jojo. I think I meet all your criteria except for the shaved head. I could always change that I suppose. Mind you, I do keep my hair extremely short as it is all white these days :) (I am 54),

Have fun Pete

guest555 05 Feb 2009, 08:24

WOW, that's all I can say about that German guy! his lovely chubby looks are so enhanced by those coke-bottles! I guess that retinal dettachment caused his severe myopia; all the people I've met so far reportimg such condition bare high minus rx's... as a high myope, I've always been told to watch out any time I start seeing clouds floating since it's a signal for this and you've got to be rush to the hospital to be treated... does anybody here know how it's treated?

Clare 03 Feb 2009, 12:00

Phil - I know what you mean about the optical shops in HK. They are awesome. A real thrill for some of the guys here I'd imagine.

jojo 03 Feb 2009, 10:37

jojo 03 Feb 2009, 10:33

ehpc as a girl i can definitely say i have a preference for mwg definitely minus does it for me a guy with a great sense of humour a shaved head and minus glasses anything from -6 to - 10 can really make my heart flutter. i think even stronger glasses can look really sexy especially if the guy is very confident

Steve Ballinger of Amnesty International UK wears nice frames in this video. Alas it's impossible to estimate the Rx, except to say that it's not that high.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7601269.stm

James 03 Feb 2009, 03:37

The heavy Rx at least explains why he wears frames that are clearly too small for his face.

I read an interview with him in which he said he had retinal detachments in BOTH eyes at the age of 20 - this also maybe explains why he doesn't wear contacts, even though it would probably have helped his political career.

Micha 03 Feb 2009, 00:43

He is -16 diopters. Enter his name + dioptrien into Google.

tinyeyes 02 Feb 2009, 21:23

Wow, that's a heavy prescription. Interesting to see -- I wasn't familiar with this politician. I'd say he's somewhere around -13d?

James 02 Feb 2009, 03:58

I forgot no. 5:

5. Even though I know better, the fact that I could swear 90% of the photos of him are taken by OO's trying to highlight cut-in, edge thickness and general awesomeness of Rx

James 02 Feb 2009, 03:52

OK, so I've now posted my favourite photos to the LOTS OF LINKS thread. There are lots - I just couldn't narrow them down further.

Here are some of the things I love about him:

1. The temples of his newer glasses don't really fit properly over his ears - this is weird (and also titilating) as he clearly wears them ALL day EVERY day and yet somehow this issue never came up

2. The glasses also aren't wide enough for his (lovely) face - this is highlighted in all the frontal photos.

3. He just keeps his eyes closed even when the TV make-up person takes a break from applying his make-up, realising there is little point in opening them while not wearing his coke-bottles.

4. The way his face gets fatter during the course of his campaign, especially in the chin area (glasses + chubby face/jowls = HOT!)

James 02 Feb 2009, 02:26

So I've been scouring the internet for the last few days poring over every photo of Thorsten Schaefer-Guembel ever taken. There's a lot of stuff on www.zimbio.com and www.daylife.com (I may post my favourites later).

Late last year he also changed frames, and by the looks of it, even had a bump in already hefty prescription.

This photo is particularly interesting - it's obviously a campaign photo that's been heavily airbrushed to make the glasses look less strong. This airbrushing is clearly highlighted with him standing in front of it.

http://jackmyers.daylife.com/photo/0e24d4I9SO0El?q=Social+Democratic+Party

Any guesses on his Rx?

VFL 30 Jan 2009, 14:15

Aw, Mits, see?

Give the girl what she wants. Take her along to help pick out the frames. Make it a date!

Mits 30 Jan 2009, 12:47

I am 42 and finding I need to lift my glasses up to read up close. Looks like it may be time for bifocals. That may be why I'm not doing well with my contacts.

By the way, VFL, I asked my wife if she ever thought my wearing glasses was at all sexy, and she definitely answered in the affirmative. Who knew?

I think you've made me decide to ditch the contacts and go to the optometrist for a prescription for bifocals and get new glasses.

Dieter 29 Jan 2009, 18:49

jojo,

This conversation hijacked this thread, but . . . . .

Like everything, there will be at least two sides to every story. The OOs will love your glasses but there will be many others with a different opinion. Suffice it to say, that you can't please everyone. Still, isn't it nice to know that in the eyes of some, you have something very special.

jojo 29 Jan 2009, 16:50

thats really cool, i do have a lovely husband who looks sexy in his glasses although he prefers contacts, he would also prefer me to wear contacts so its nice to know not everyone feels that way. he has had people say horrible things about his glasses in the past which i think has made him feel really self conscious and put him off the whole glasses thing

Dieter 29 Jan 2009, 12:42

jojo,

To add to your excitement, optical obsessives will find you the most desirable. When wearing glasses you will "transgress to a higher plane".

VFL 29 Jan 2009, 10:30

That's great. Now we are all made up and can be friends again.

Let's clean our glasses and start anew.

jojo 29 Jan 2009, 08:00

sorry guys i didnt mean to offend at all course im not anti gay! i was just so excited when i found this site to think there are guys who would actually find me attractive when im not wearing contacts!

VFL 29 Jan 2009, 07:45

You all are very dear to me. I don't know how my life could have ended up any happier than it is, though.

There is nothing more charming than the sight of a handsome man wearing a well-chosen pair of eyeglasses. Absolutely nothing. Just the thought makes my pulse race and my knees grow weak.

Nearsighted, farsighted, astigmatic, presbyopic or a combo of the above. It doesn't really matter. One younger guy with blended bifocals nearly had me drowning in my coffee cup a few years ago. I've never seen them before or since. He was a cute 30 something attorney with big brown eyes. Nearsighted. Most all of my nearsighted guys have had brown eyes. Has anyone else ever noticed that?

But I do prefer that the man need to wear the glasses full time.

Charles 29 Jan 2009, 06:43

VFL

The thought of what might have become of you is quite an exciting one.

How I wish in my younger days, when my myopia was increasing steadily, I had realized that some people might have found my glasses attractive.

Cut-in UK 28 Jan 2009, 14:18

It is very reassuring, but not entirely surprising, to find passionate women (VFL, Katy and Jennifer) moved by thought and the appearance of males in glasses. VFL we know well as a transparently passionate person. She writes as she speaks, and she is driven by feelings. Music, poetry (and myopic women) do it for me. They are triggers to the extreme emotions which many, but not all, possess. With passions, come mood swings, and cycles of elation and depression. It make life, and the persons involved, all the more interesting. I imagine that the poetry of Wordsworth or the music of Beethoven would not exist if they were not people of passion. Be bold and true to yourselves ladies, and continue to enrich the lives of those around you!

ehpc 28 Jan 2009, 13:25

Do you girlies have the same general prefence for minus MIG that many men (definitely myself:)) have for minus GWGs? I never know how much minus I am. About minus 6 or 7 I think..........................

Pete

Mits 28 Jan 2009, 11:37

In case you all were wondering, I can make it to and from the bathroom in the middle of the night without my glasses, but I do take them with me so I can see to shave after my shower. And for some reason, I can see the clock onthe nightstand OK without them -- but if I get more than 16 inches away, I cannot.

I have contacts, but I think I actually see better with my glasses on.

Jennifer 28 Jan 2009, 10:45

Definately Katy! The prescription at the end of Mits post did get my blood pumping! I think he did that on purpose (knowing what it would do to us!)

highminusdude 28 Jan 2009, 10:03

Guest 555 -- What bar and where?!?!

Katy 28 Jan 2009, 09:26

For me, Mits has just demonstrated what VFL was talking about, that glasses can change our perception of a man (which isn't always good). Before, I thought Mits sounded narrow minded and judgemental. Now he has put his prescription on the end of his post I think 'Ooh, he sounds nice!'. Hmmm.

Phil 28 Jan 2009, 09:06

Restraint is the difficult bit. But you are right Jennifer: a non-OO is easily spooked. As you say, every OO needs another! I wish I'd married one. If I had known what I know now I wouldn't have settled for any less. But when I was younger I just thought I was a bit "odd" being attracted by glasses! I've never mentioned it to my wife: she'd call me all sorts of names if she knew.

Jennifer 28 Jan 2009, 08:59

Mits, I think most of us have learned a great deal of restraint when it comes to our attraction to a man in glasses. The last thing we want to do is scare the guy away because he thinks we are more interested in his glasses. To this day, I am very guarded about the strong attraction. I have strong thoughts about the guy, but am very careful to never come across inappropriate. Although, I have to stop myself from starring at a handsome guy with glasses, many times. Maybe this is the forum where we can express our true feelings about that good looking guy with glasses who crosses our path. I do often wonder what it would be like if two OO's ended up together? Wild sex! Wow

Mits 28 Jan 2009, 07:48

VFL,

I didn't intend to be mean to you. I do appreciate your affinity for men in glasses. It just sounded like you were in bed with ALOT of men in glasses. But then you explained that it largely fantasy. That's fine! We all fantasize, don't we?

Mits

Phil 28 Jan 2009, 03:22

Katy, I do, I do! I'm much more of a mig now. I don't wear at work but I wear throughout holidays and weekends, and going to and from work. It's a necessity! At -4 I am at last finding it difficult to function bare-eyed! I couldn't follow TV programmes, I was smiling at all the wrong people (which was going to get me into real trouble one day) and I couldn't find anything in shops.

Richard 28 Jan 2009, 02:33

VFL

You might have lived even more happily ever after?

Katy 28 Jan 2009, 02:24

Jennifer - he sounds gorgeous!

Phil - I think you have to actually wear your glasses to qualify as a mig - there is an 'in' in there... ;-)

VFL 28 Jan 2009, 00:34

Dearest Charles, I only wonder when I were a single girl years ago what would have happened to me if the internet had been so popular.

Phil 27 Jan 2009, 10:07

Jennifer, Katy and VFL, it's a great thing for us migs that there are girls around like you. Especially when you are gwgs yourselves.

I wonder how many mig/gwg couples there are where both are OOs? I observe quite a lot of couples where both partners wear specs. But what I read here indicate that in many partnerships one is a reluctant gwg/mig non-OO and at best tolerates the optical interests of the other.

Is there any OO here who has an OO partner?

Charles 27 Jan 2009, 09:38

VFL

As far as I know, I am one of the most myopic men to come here. If only I could have met you years ago!

Jennifer 27 Jan 2009, 09:26

Katy and VFL, it's comforting to find there are other girls out there similar to me. Through the years, I have done some crazy things to get close to a man in glasses. I have to say that glasses wasn't the only thing that got me going. There had to more to it than that. I remember one incident in my younger days, when I was seeing a very handsome, MIG. Went to meet him at work and saw him without his glasses. I knew that he needed his glasses badly. Turns out he broke his glasses in a fist fight. It was his only pair and was struggling to get through the days until he got a new pair made. What turned me on the most was that he really needed those glasses! He complained of headaches and it just made me melt. I wanted to comfort him and pamper him. I knew how nearsighted he was. Oh, he was so cute with or without his glasses! OMG!

guest555 27 Jan 2009, 09:19

Sorry guys, but this dissertion about whether glasses on a guy leads to explore the dark sides of soul's getting kinda out of place... VFL, I'm sure you're such a fine lady and to be treu and honest, if I was str8 I'd love to be with a girl like you, who besides my thick glasses likes my spirit, anyway... I wanted to tell that just the other day I went to this gay bar and I saw something you don't get to see every day, a guy about 40-something, fair skin, average built, cropped hair, both ears pierced, wearing black leather boots, pants and jacket, and bearing some of the thickest eyeglasses I've seen. They were light-grey tinted myodisks with quite a plus carrier and fitted in an oval shaped plastic black frame... at first I thought of them as plusses with a reading add, but after a closer look and examination I realised they were myo's... not the biconcave type, but the single one... When he arrived I noticed most guys just took a look at him and got off right away... In my case, I'm not a big fan of skinhead leather guys, although I guess the leather bit was OK on hi, he had a decent looking body, but if it wasn't for the glasses I wouldn't have given him a second glance! When I went to the john I saw him closer and I saw both his eyes very extremely tiny behind them, almost impossible to see since the reflections were very extensive. I noodded at him, he nooded back and went off... since I was with a friend, I coudn't tarce him...I'm hoping I can go there once more and maybe get to see him again, so I can get a chance to chat with him...

Katy 27 Jan 2009, 08:08

VFL, lol, I don't think Mits sounds like he would like to be smacked, but that's a whole other story...

Looking back, I can't believe some of the things I have done because of men with glasses. I know exactly how you feel, all reason goes out the window. It's as though it has more control of me than I do of it. But I don't think I have much choice about it, it's always there, whether I want it or not. And you're right that's it's a mixed blessing - it makes life more complicated, but a lot more interesting... :-)

VFL 26 Jan 2009, 18:39

Thank you for coming to my defense Katy. Mits is mean and should be smacked.

It is all about thinking not acting. Aren't most of our glasses thoughts fantasies anyway? Mine are. Sometimes they overwhelm me. I'm a very sensitve person. Men I fancy who need glasses to see clearly make me come undone. It is my Achilles heel so to speak. I look into those corrected eyes and lose control of all reason. It has gotten me into trouble in more than one occasion. I give too much emotionally because of it. That is a very bad thing because sometimes the man behind the lenses is not worthy.

Definitely not worthy. But the glasses (and the power rings) draw me in. What can I do?

If you can only say something snotty, don't bother to comment. Remember, I am a real person and a real woman and not a fake. This is as raw and as real as it gets. I am putting it out there for all of you like minded people to see.

Dieter 26 Jan 2009, 14:14

Well said, Pete!

As far as glasses being considered sex toys, they do a lot more for me than anything else. But especially when they are real. Everything else seems like props, including fake glasses.

VFL, hope that helps.

ehpc 26 Jan 2009, 13:58

Being a very 'straight' man, I see stylish glasses on women as a sign of intelligence, competence, courage (look at me- I'm a hot GWG!!!), confidence,and the woman having her head together. That's the turn on for me.......................Pete

Katy 26 Jan 2009, 13:44

Mits - I think you're on the wrong website, or at least the wrong thread.

Glasses and S&M equipment do have some things in common, if you see glasses as a sign of vulnerability and helplessness, which quite a few people do.

If you had read what VFL said, she was talking about *thinking* about guys, not sleeping with them. But if she wants to sleep with them too, then that's up to her :-)

Mits 26 Jan 2009, 12:07

VFL,

What are we supposed to say? You seem to equate glasses and hopping into the sack with a guy. Do you really sleep with that many men, or do you just make it sound like that?

We need our glasses to see, and for most of us, that all it is. They are not some sex toy like a vibrator or S&M equipment.

VFL 26 Jan 2009, 08:55

It would be really nice if someone would respond to what I said. I am a very real person and kind of going through a hard time. You could say I'm asking for commiseration. Or help so to speak.

VFL 25 Jan 2009, 16:21

Wilder. No one in my real life knows how I really feel. I hide it really well. I have this ability to make every man who wears glasses that I fancy to take them off almost immediately and place them in my hands.

It is a mixed blessing and curse. I lie awake nights and re-live these moments.

Thank God I hold myself so well.

Now you know.

Alan 23 Jan 2009, 04:26

How can anyone not realize this is a wig - and not just any old wig, but the worst in US political history? It's not just his glasses he has to take off at night.

Phil 23 Jan 2009, 01:31

Oh Clare, I hate to think of you being lonely! Why don't you pop down to one of the many optical stores and get a test and some new specs? Hong Kong's a veritable cornucopia of frames and lense-types!

Mits 22 Jan 2009, 14:57

VLF,

Are you as wild as you sound?

VFL 22 Jan 2009, 14:13

I don't think it is a wig. I think he just has a rotten hairdo. Poor boy needs to grow it out and get it styled. He probably goes to an old fashioned barber who takes his glasses from him and only gives them back when the "deed" is done.

He has potential. But I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers if you know what I mean.

Clare 22 Jan 2009, 10:27

mmm I'm not sure if he's wearing a wig.

But it maybe that I'm just sad and lonely and jet lagged and working in HK this week ;)

VFL 22 Jan 2009, 05:08

He is beyond handsome. I'll campaign for him and clean his glasses before every speech. It will be a sacrifice on my part but somebody has to do it for the good of the country.

tinyeyes 21 Jan 2009, 22:39

Yeah, I realized that after posting this. There is a lot of stuff on the internet about whether he is wearing a toupee. I think it may just be a bad haircut. I originally saw a really cute picture of him in the newspaper, where his hair looked great. Well anyway, he would be handsome if bald, too, I think. But definitely needs to get a better haircut and/or get rid of the toupee if it is one!

Myopic Grant 21 Jan 2009, 21:14

20 Jan 2009, 16:32

they can't wear contacts?

Todd 20 Jan 2009, 16:11

There is a grocery chain in my city which tells its employees that if they have been prescribed glasses they must wear them at work. They need to be able to see across the store or across the parking lot, so no matter how slightly nearsighted, or farsighted for that matter, that someone is, they have to wear their glasses.

The result: a lot of young stockers, checkers and bag boys with glasses. Same with the female employees there, too.

I wonder if they grew "dependent" on their glasses this way? Do they just become full-timers?

Cut-in UK 19 Jan 2009, 13:20

JoJo; assuming you are female, at -10 you are a goddess to many of us ! Tell us a little more about yourself and your optical history and how you feel about wearing glasses.

Myopic Grant 19 Jan 2009, 09:21

In regards to Joe Jonas, I think in the first picture, the pair of glasses he's wearing are someone elses. He's doing a face that looks like he's just put on someone's glasses and he's saying, "you're SO blind." even though they look to be only about -2.00. Plus they look like female frames, and not a style that would suit him. It's hard to tell in the second picture, but there looks to be very little prescription.

ehpc 19 Jan 2009, 07:35

There certainly are emphatically 'straight' men who adore women wearing minus 10. Me especially :) Pete

Katy 19 Jan 2009, 04:27

I don't think jojo was being anti-gay, I think she meant it's a shame there aren't any straight men here who would appreciate her -10 glasses. Which there are, of course :-)

Welcome Jo Jo I too went through many years of thinking I was the only person in the world who was obsessed with glasses. Then I found Eyescene. It was a relief and a very exciting discovery. I have learned so much from this site.

We are not all gay AND what difference does it make if some of the participants on this site are gay?

Does anybody have a guess on this guy's prescription:

Yes, bald guys with strong glasses are extra sexy to me for some reason...

And you're probably right about Craig's voice. The one problem with David King -- he's a straight man!

James 24 Dec 2008, 05:23

Me too. There's something about David King's baldness, piercing blue eyes and clear comfort with and acceptance of wearing glasses that makes him sexier than Craig could ever be.

Craig is also sexy, at least until he starts talking. I tend to turn the sound off on his YouTube videos.

tinyeyes 23 Dec 2008, 22:18

Well if I had to pick, I would have to say I find David King much sexier than Craig. I'm not sure why. David's VERY nerdy, though! Funny, they have about the same prescription.

Cleventine 23 Dec 2008, 13:33

Thanks

he's one of the guys. but admittedly, he kinda resemble a girl...

Seeker 05 Dec 2008, 18:45

The guy at the start has a great squint and he's probably not the most myopic. Jo is it the other guy or one of the girls.

Jo 05 Dec 2008, 05:12

basically, he was telling how he once rode bare eye on a scooter, when he was younger with a prescription of -5, and was caught by the traffic police, cos he went past them without seeing them. the name of this guy is "高山峰" (gao shanfeng) and you can do a search for him if you like. But mainly, the pictures of him are without glasses.

tinyeyes 04 Dec 2008, 22:26

That's a wonderful video! But of course I can't understand a thing. I love the guy who shows up around 4:30. What is he talking about? Can you translate?

this video shows some taiwanese selebrities talking about their struggle with myopia and sometime into the show, they even put on their prescription glasses, with the highest among them having double digits. if you understand mandarin, there's even part one and two of the video where they discuss about their issues with more depth. enjoy.

Martyn 27 Nov 2008, 16:17

HI Emily gosh i,m shocked at the rapid increase of your RX over a couple of years, your RX has almost doubled, going on at theis rate you will need myodisc glasses, how would feel weaing those glasses. Hope your doing well at Uni long time since had sent you a little message. take good care Martyn

Martyn 27 Nov 2008, 16:13

HI Tinyeyes, i have a friend who is a professional photographer, he always likes glasses wearers to take their glasses off especially if they have a high minus RX,

10 the lenses can act like mirrors and distort the picture. 2) the eyes are an important part of having a good pic taken.

Wearing high minus RX glasses the glasses are noticed more than the person behind them.

I agree take your specs off to have your pic taken.

Emily 27 Nov 2008, 16:09

Tinyeyes -- Over -2 each diopter correlates to about 20/n, so -8 would be about 20/800. I'm -14.50 and my optometrist says I'm about 20/1,400.

tinyeyes 27 Nov 2008, 13:49

Yeah, people tend to have most of their pics taken without glasses unless they wear them all the time (sometimes even then!) Does anyone know the RX for 20/800? I'm guessing around -8 or so, but I know it doesn't exactly correlate.

russell 27 Nov 2008, 11:23

Concerning the discussion board mentioned in the previous post: isn't it interesting that so many of the guys say they love their glasses, never go without them, or prefer to wear them over contacts--and yet, their pictures are bare-eyed?

tinyeyes 26 Nov 2008, 16:43

Just found a glasses discussion online at this website: http://www.realjock.com/gayforums/250818/

Most interesting was this cutie,

http://www.realjock.com/profile/?id=145647

who says, "I almost always wear my contacts (RGPs) instead of my glasses. But this isn't for vanitys sake. My vision is horrible (somewhere around 20/800) and the lack of peripheral with the glasses drives me crazy. Plus to not have the glasses be thicker than coke bottles and extremely heavy on my nose, I have to get the smallest frames available. Which severly limits my range of vision to what is directly in front of my eyes. Then I can't just move my eyes to look at something I have to turn my whole head. However, if it weren't for the limited vision I would probably choose the glasses because the upkeep on the contacts can be a pain sometimes. And I definately agree that some guys look really hot with the right pair of glasses."

Too bad we don't get to see him in his glasses, because they sound like high-minus wonders!

tinyeyes 24 Nov 2008, 00:00

Thanks, 6.0. You look great! I would love to see you in your high-index lenses, too. This reminds me of a few years ago when my then-roommate had a friend visiting who I discovered wore hard contacts and VERY thick, large outdated coke-bottles not unlike the ones you're wearing in the videos. His RX was around -9 (very close to mine). At the time I had a pair of high index glasses with very small wire frames that were quite thin. I tried on his glasses (when he wasn't around) and realized our prescription was almost exactly the same. I was amazed that I could have such thin lenses, yet still see clearly through his thick glasses! They must have been about 3/8" of an inch thick. Although quite a bit older than me, he was very attractive -- tall and muscular. I only saw him wearing the glasses early in the morning a couple of times during his visit. I still wonder what he would have thought if he'd tried MY high-indexers on. He never knew anything about my fetish or my attraction to him.

Interesting few months watching Kevin Rose--former Tech TV host, founder of Digg and current Diggnation host. Back in May he put out a tweet that said, "I need glasses - I've denied it for a long time, but the time has come - not all the time, just for certain tasks. Suggestions?"

http://explore.twitter.com/kevinrose/statuses/822088479

Then in june during Diggnation episode 153, he tired on his co-host's glasses and exclaimed, "Holy Hell I'm blind." among other things.

http://revision3.com/diggnation/2008-06-05epic/

Finally this week, he showed up wearing his own pair. Interestingly the episode was done as a multiview, meaning the viewer can chose from multiple camera angles--including one that's a close up of Kevin and his new frames.

http://revision3.com/remix/

Decent frame selection. And the lenses while not high for this crowd seem not unsubstantial for a first prescription. Hopefully he will wear them often, despite his protestations at the opening of the episode.

Eustace 28 Oct 2008, 04:20

I appreciated Kendyl's honesty regarding the Matt postings. I agree that it might be a good idea to have a separate thread for those of us who would like to share our fantasies (and get reactions from others) but who are not quite ready to complete (or send to one of the fiction websites) a finished story. I have lived in a fantasy world since childhood--many (but not all) of them sexual. I too have many ideas for stories but just don't seem to have the time (or maybe the self-confidence) to sit down and write a more complete story. Or, I keep changing things around in them. It would be nice to be able to float an idea for a fantasy and solicit reactions--sort of a writers workshop approach, I guess. I WONDER IF WURM WOULD CONSIDER A SEPARATE THREAD FOR SUCH? It might be simply called "Fantasies" or "Stories in Progress." I can understand that many posters in Eyescene have serious questions and problems that they wish to share and to get advice on--or even just true experiences and sightings that they would like to share. They should not have to sift though our fantasies.

Of course, I would prefer separate threads for gay fantasies and straight fantasies--but I suppose us "Fantasy Psters" could begin our posts with some kind of label--Gay Men, Gay Women, Straight Men, Straight Women, etc.

What do some of the rest of you think? Also, it would be great, if someone would send a post giving the contact information (e-mails, etc.) for getting stories "published" in one of the fiction websites--all in one directory.

Kendyl 27 Oct 2008, 22:22

For those of you interested in the "Matt" postings, please refer to my posting in XXX Links ONLY if you are not offending by honesty!

Eustace 27 Oct 2008, 14:36

Very interesting exchanges about Matt's postings! I was not duped by this one. I have been fooled in the past. For example, Mark who claimed to be extremely myopic (with trifocals, as I recall), hearing aids, paralyzed from the waist down, a wheelchair racer, and with an entire family with vision and hearing disabilities (and even a brother who was a double amputee)! And then there were the teenage twins who had rapidly-worsening vision and hearing. Actually Matt's story was rather exciting, if just a bit too pathetic. (One of the most unconvincing lines was the one about his not having an old, back-up pair of glasses--because his mother insisted in giving all of his old glasses to charity!) Actually, Matt could work this into quite an erotic story for one of the gay glasses fetish websites: Those mean locker room boys could strip all of his clothes off and throw him into the shower (with his glasses on, of course). He could then bargain with the gang that, if they would promise not to touch his glasses, they could "have their way with him."

"On the internet, no one knows you're a dog." ::)

tinyeyes 24 Oct 2008, 22:23

Regarding the fake stuff, I guess I'm pretty naive. I really thought the Matt story was real. I guess because I was bullied as a child, I was more susceptible (although it wasn't because of glasses per se). To me, the internet seems like a place where there is no reason to lie, because it's all relatively anonymous, so it strikes me as odd when people do it. I guess some people get a kick or a turn-on of some kind out of making up a story and getting reactions. I would think they wouldn't waste their time on online pranks -- wouldn't it be more fun to play a joke on someone in person, so you can see their reaction?? Oh well, go figure.

Wurm, thanks for running the site and taking care of all this!

Julian 24 Oct 2008, 16:54

Well Kendyl, there are places for posting glasses-related fiction. There are Yahoo groups called 'glassesfetishfiction' (the founder of which has resigned and left me i charge!) and'gayglassesfetishfiction'. I have seen another site too, which I found much more sexually explicit and less congenial. And then of course there's Bobby's wonderful archive at http://bobbygoc.sweb.cz - I suggest that's the place for writing fantasies, though I must admit I used EyeScene in this way in the early days - and I wasn't alone in this either.

Kendyl 24 Oct 2008, 13:30

Is it against the websites policy to post fictional stories to fulfill fantasies? I thought this was what the website was about, for OO's to come together and be able to share their stories/fantasies/etc and maybe some are true and some are not true but where else are we going to post our fantasy stories about glasses? Maybe I was wrong about the purpose of this website but as I posted, I have been coming here for years and years and generally post under a different name because I usually go awhile without posting.

Wurm 24 Oct 2008, 13:06

I might add that the usual internet caveat applies -- don't start exchanging personal info with someone you aren't certain about.

Wurm 24 Oct 2008, 13:03

No worries all. I have the distinct advantage of visitor log data to review.

Maybe someday I'll post my list of dead giveaways, but I think Julian's approach has a lot to recommend it (take posts at face value unless something really jumps out at you). No sense in everyone getting all paranoid - that's my job!

-10 24 Oct 2008, 07:02

If it sounds too good/compelling/heart-wrenching/captivating to be true... it probably is.

-14 24 Oct 2008, 06:57

I'm glad that Wurm exposed the hoax. It kept me from making more of a fool of myself.

Julian 24 Oct 2008, 00:54

I guess Wurm was able to see that the posts came from someone else's address. I generally take posts at their face value, but even I thought Matt's style was remarkably adult for a high school freshman.

tinyeyes 23 Oct 2008, 21:21

Gosh, well if it was fake, I feel duped and naive. How do we know it was fake?

VFL 23 Oct 2008, 09:39

Katy, that lens thickness and the power rings does me in every time. If it is the right man who really does it for me he could be reciting the phone book and I would be mesmorized. The first time I saw a handsome guy in obviously strong rimless glasses with highly polished lenses I nearly tripped over a Manhattan curb at rush hour.

Galileo 23 Oct 2008, 08:18

Well I read Matt's posts and I immediately though "fiction". Wurm (as usual) spotted the inauthenticity. Stories like that are just too stereotypical, even down to the prescription.

Alan 23 Oct 2008, 01:14

Looks as if Wurm is keeping track of urls to identify fictional posters - ie, people who post bogus autobiography. Good. It's annoying enough to have what are in effect short stories published as real testimony - and really sad when people manifest genuine sympathy or are otherwise taken in. Wurm, since the bullshit detectors of regulars on this site don't work very well, I'm glad you're activating yours!

Kendyl 22 Oct 2008, 11:41

Wurm:

I am not sure what is going on with this website but it seems that certain posts are being deleting intentionally and I am not sure why. I have been visiting this website/posting for about 8 years now, going on 9 and at times I do change my name because I go awhile without posting and at the time, feel a different name suites me best.

Wurm 22 Oct 2008, 10:43

One username per person, please.

If you are a regular with an occasional alter-ego, I can tolerate that. I'm more concerned with people who try to develop a suite of characters on the site, or are serial trolls.

-14 22 Oct 2008, 10:41

What has happened to the 5 or 6 previous postings?

-14 22 Oct 2008, 10:38

Maybe Wurm should start a new thread - "I don't believe it" - so all the "Anons" can have their own forum and leave the posters who need some help and confidence building alone.

Matt - don't give up on us. Many of us have been through the same thing and together maybe we can help you through this. I know how tough it must have been to be bullied and then embarrassed by mother nature and left blind and hurt. Speaking for myself my heart is with you.

tinyeyes 16 Oct 2008, 20:11

Oh, he finally sent me photos... he's a sweet guy. I won't share them online unless he says I can, though...

tinyeyes 15 Oct 2008, 23:32

He's 25 years old. We don't live in the same city, so it was basically a one-time encounter. In the end I think it was more of a friend vibe for me, even though the glasses were amazing. Unfortunately, I may have scared him off, because he won't answer my email!

Eustace 15 Oct 2008, 20:23

Tinyeyes:

What an exciting and wonderful encounter! I hope things develop into a least a nice friendship for you--though I can imagine that it might be fraught with frustrations. (It would be for me.) How old is he?

tinyeyes 14 Oct 2008, 20:29

I was out of town this weekend and I met a guy at the gym who wears -13 glasses...we talked and ended up hanging out for a bit, but it was kind of an awkward encounter. He was 25, from Taiwan and has only been in the U.S. for 2 years. When I told him I liked his glasses, he was very surprised and told me how he hates, hates, hates wearing glasses (Which is understandable) It makes it weird and awkward when someone is saying they find the glasses a turn-on, since it's a very negative thing to him. I've found this before with guys, but it was especially so with this guy. He told me didn't get glasses until he was 10 years old, and was a -4 at that point. He tried some kind of Chinese medicine thing to correct his vision without glasses, but it didn't work and within a couple of years he was -9! I think it was a very traumatic experience for him. By the time he finished high school, he was up to -12. He said he's tried contacts (hard RGP) but finds them very uncomfortable. He's hoping to try for Lasik (probably impossible for him) or ICL or PRK. I wanted to discourage him, but I understand how he feels. Guys with OO fetish are few and far between, and in the gay world it can be tough for someone who must wear -13 glasses all the time!

As far as how we met, I saw him as we were both coming into the gym together at the same time, and did a double-take when I was how strong his specs were. I said hi, not even sure if he was gay. As I worked out, I couldn't keep from looking at him because his glasses were quite unusual with lots of cutin and distortion (of course). Finally, he came up to me and started talking! Very nice guy, but a bit of a language barrier and also just beginning to come out. All in all it was an interesting experience!

[NOTE: This is a repost of a previous message. We are trying to reach the widest possible audience, and we apologize if you see multiple copies of this message.]

Dear readers (man or woman),

We are a group of scientists from Sweden and Italy doing research on sexuality. Many sensitive issues in sexuality are poorly understood, mostly due to lack of research. To partly remedy this, we do research on "fetishism", broadly defined as sexual preferences that are both fairly strong and not very common. No moral judgment is implied: we simply view fetishism as one expression of human sexuality.

We post here to advertise a survey that targets people who are sexually aroused by a partner or potential partner wearing EYEGLASSES/SPECTACLES. To take the survey, click on the link below. It will take at most 20 minutes to complete the survey. We offer a substantial privacy guarantee: no sensitive data will be monitored or stored at our site, only the answers you explicitly provide.

James, he might not be an oil painting nowadays but 25 years and 25 pounds ago he might have been. Also 25 years ago was pre high index lenses. He is definitely in the double digits. I hope you get the opportunity to meet face to face someday and that you get to talk about and try those glasses on.

James 03 Sep 2008, 11:19

I have this weird thing where I have to google the people I am exchanging emails with at work to check what they look like.

and today, I unearthed this gem:

http://www.routledges.co.za/routmod/modules/OurPeople6/content/index.php?id=7&bio&uid=AlastairMorphet@eversheds.co.za

OK. so he is no oil painting, but there is some quite considerable myopia there to be sure.

Can somebody hazard a guess? I was thinking definitely double digits, but not too sure whereabouts....

I agree, he's dreamy, although without the glasses he'd be much less so. I think -13 is a good guess for the RX. Maybe even higher?

James 19 Aug 2008, 00:55

Tinyeyes,

WOW! That guy leaves me a bit breathless and at a loss for words.

A dream guy in every sense of the word. And clearly so confortable in his glasses, because he has no other choice. Also not a heavy duty contact lens wearer (I scoured all the pics), and his face looks kinda naked without the glasses.

Also a dream Rx....am very bad at estimating, but I'd say well into double digits, say -13....your thoughts?

tinyeyes 09 Aug 2008, 16:20

WOW guys... GREAT new links! I'm still digesting all this.... especially the two Asian guys... gosh, Asia and Asians are such paradise for high myopia OOs!

James, I agree with you about the Singapore politician... he's quite striking with those small frames. It's hard to guess but I would he's closer to -15 than -10. Maybe some of our Asian readers can enlighten us, but I think double-digit myopia is quite ordinary in places like Singapore. I think these days, really small frames have fallen out of style somewhat, but they continue to be used for people with really strong RXs to keep thickness down. It also helps hide how small the eyes look in relation to the glasses frames. It's definitely hot! Good find.... I also LOVE the guy who posted his RX slip.

As for the French guy, who knows what he's saying? Those myodiscs he's wearing are intriguing. Any idea of the RX there?

So my usual question: can anyone guess the Rx? Watching the BBC story (Gaaaah! I wish I could find a video link to it) I was SURE it was well into the teens, but now, I'm starting to doubt myself).

PS - sorry for doing this in 4 parts. There is obviously a limit on the number of links per post that I was not aware of

This morning on the BBC World New Business programme, they had an interview with a Singaporean member of parliament. Needless to say, after I saw his glasses, I completely lost my faculties and could not remember, if my life depended on it, what the interview was about.

OMIGOD. Such strong glasses. what's funny is that the BBC cameraman was a closet (or maybe not closet) OO. More than once, he filmed through the lenses of this guy's glasses, and you saw the TINY interviewer on the park bench next to him.

Anyway, I've scoured the internet, but alas, it is not to be found, even on the BBC's gargantuan website. It had the feel of a filler story anyway.

Here are some pictures of him found during my Friday fodder of procrastinatory internet perusal:

This one, his parliament website photo, does the Rx NO justice:

Just had a similar experience to the one I posted the other day...I was at the gym (one I don't usually go to) in the locker room, and had another one of my contact-taking-out viewings. But wow, this was a really good one! The guy went to a locker near mine, and I immediately noticed that he was very good looking -- tall, very nice build, white, early 30s, short brown hair with a slightly receding hairline, looked like a hunky young attorney. He was all sweaty from his workout. I didn't pay too much attention until -- of course --- I saw the glasses case and contact lens case come out of his locker. He took the glasses out of the case, then uncapped the contact case and started pinching out his lenses. The contact case was resting on the bench behind his glasses, and I could see that the contact case looked very very small through the lens of his glasses. Yes!! He held the case very close as he put the last contact in, and then put on his glasses. Oh wow, this already very hot guy looked SO sexy with his black rim glasses on, his blue-gray eyes tiny, his RX about -8. The lens edges stuck out from his frames quite a bit too. VERY nice.... and he looked really relieved to have his contacts out, too. I watched him as long as I could...but unfortunately I also noticed a wedding ring. This guy was so my type, I was getting kind of a weird heart-pounding feeling.. I love when that happens!

Tinyeyes... that sighting about the guy removing his contacts sounds just great!! I've done that myself b4 taking a flight and on some other occasion, (like when I'm at work and my contacvts start bothering me after some hours in front of the screen) and I've found people looking at me with a mixed thrill and surprised look... I guess it all has to do with most people thinking that the putting/taking out contacts thing is one of the most difficult tasks in the world, and watching it being done with such ease and calm... don't you think??

tinyeyes 21 Jul 2008, 08:30

I was traveling this week and as usual, had a number of interesting sightings. Airports are great for seeing a variety of good looking guys, many with surprisingly strong RXs. One fun sighting was in the airport bathroom, where I saw a very cute guy in his early 20s taking out his contacts (probably in preparation for a long flight). Then he took his glasses out of a case, cleaned them carefully and put them on. His RX was only about -3 or so, but watching a guy remove contacts and put on glasses is a favorite fantasy for me.

Also, at the event I traveled to, there was a tall, ex-military type guy, late 30s maybe, who wore glasses around -10. What made it more interesting is that his glasses were large round wire-rims, and very thick with flat fronts. They looked like they were from the early 1990s. The cut-in and concentric rings were amazing! He had light blue eyes that looked small and distant in his specs. I think they may have been CR39. I remember when that type of glasses were popular and I miss it a little! I saw him switching from the glasses to a pair of RX sunglasses once, but he was too far away for me to check out the sunglasses. They must have been thick too! He made the switch seamlessly, using one hand to remove his glasses while the other hand brought the sunglasses to his face.

VFL 21 Jul 2008, 01:05

Yup, I'm a gusher all right.

Isn't it funny that something that lots of people find a "negative" is a "positive" in our eyes?

It just goes to show that as my grand-mama used to say, "There is a lid for every pot."

Love makes the world go 'round. Our little "quirk" is part of that. There is nothing wrong with it or bad. It's just a piece of human nature that has somehow manifested itself.

You say that you are English and traditionally educated. I am going to say it outloud...smart is sexy! And oh, gosh, by golly, that accent is also cute, cute, cute...uh, and darling as well. Glasses are something that smart people tend to "need." (In some cases dumb people as well...ha!)

I am all passion and expression...but, gosh, isn't this glasses thing great? There are other "quirks" in this world, but isn't ours just the greatest? It is so common and doesn't hurt anybody.

You guys in your specs...cute, cute, CUTE! Thanks for lettin' me look...

Cut-in UK 20 Jul 2008, 23:57

VFL, I'm with you all the way on the effect of power rings. For me it is that flicker as a -5 to -7 woman turns their head slightly towards you and half a dozen or so rings suddenly fill the side of the lens! It is a defining moment, even though I do not have the gift of being as overtly expressive or passionate as yourself,(I'm English, and traditionally educated!) I can still sense that trigger of a 'rush'. It really is great for those O-O's who have the 'ring thing' badly. Also, I'm aware that even that phenomenon has variations, as you clearly get the 'rush' with even higher myopes, straight-ahead. This is really the wrong thread; more technical than gender-specific, sorry, but I love a girl that 'gushes'.

Why, why, why is that "negative" in so many people's minds...my turn on? Sometimes it is just stupid to ask why... Ir just is.

Freud would have a field day with me. Jung...well, even though he stood on Freud's shoulders would NOT agree...

Eustace-

It was the labs decision to roll the edges and my guess would be they would be a few more mm's thick if they had not done so. The lenses are 1.60 which I presume is in the middle neither high nor low. I started wearing glasses when I was 4. I wear both lined bifocals and progressives with a +3 add and have no problem switching between them. The index of the progressives is 1.67 and are 13mm. BTW what is your RX?

Eustace 16 Jul 2008, 17:58

14: The thickness of your lenses is most impressive! Am I correct that if you had not had your lenses rolled/beveled they would have been even thicker? Do you have high-index lenses? You have probably posted more details re you Rx at some point in the past, but I don't recall. How old were you when you first started wearing glasses? And do you have bifocals, trifocals or progressives? Again, my apologies if you have posted all this before. As you can see, I am very curious about such things--not to mention very detail oriented!

Brian-16

Looks like soon your username will also be your RX. My -15.25, 11BO are 1.60. even so the edges are almost 18mm thick. The lab rolled the edges but they still touch my cheeks. I wonder how thick they would be if they were CR39s.

guest555 16 Jul 2008, 09:05

Eustace:

I really think guys wearing glasses AND braces look adorable since it creates such a thrilling "tender and vulnerable" look, besides, kissing (or blow-jobing) a guy in/with braces it's such a hot experience. I can tell on both sides being myself a wearer a few years ago and believe me, every guy I kissed commeented on how good it felt! (man, it sounded like me being such a manwhore! damn! LOL) I think it all has something to do with the little scratching sensation.

Regarding the "28" guy in the videos, his strong plus glasses are something really hot, although as you mentioned, they don't have the same power as a pair of strong minus... anyway...

tinyeyes and Guest555: I love the posts and You Tube links that you both send. I think the three of us must have a great deal in common. (Perhaps we should exchange some "off-line" e-mails.) Yes, I thought the young guy with the accent (British?), glasses, and braces was adorable. I agree with 555 that the combination of glasses and braces is just wonderful! However, I did not think his frames were very flattering--at least for his face. He appeared to be a high hyerope, and I must confess that I am much more attracted to high myopes.

Cactus Jack 15 Jul 2008, 17:37

Brian-16,

With your Rx and prism, CR-39 is an extremely good choice. It has extremely good optical characteristics and a much better "Abbe Number" (a measure of chromatic and spherical aberration characteristics) than most high index materials until you get to optical glass. With prism, the good abbe value means minimal color fringing. The only downside to CR-39 is its relatively low index of refraction (around 1.50) which means that the lens will be comparatively thick.

Brian-16 15 Jul 2008, 15:34

Eustace - The lenses are about 11mm but just less than half an inch.I have never asked if they could make them in high index.I guess they could.I always am interested in checking out guys in strong thick lenses.

Brian-16 15 Jul 2008, 15:30

guest555- A lot of times when I am out the guys ask me if my glasses are "bullet-proof". I just let the comments go by.By the way corrected I am 20/30 overall.But I am content with that vision level.The doctor said thats because of some muscle problem from a long time ago.My friend does have 20/20 but always says things look a little smaller and distant.He does not go to the same doctor I have.

Eustace 15 Jul 2008, 15:27

Brian-16:

Guest555's latest post arouses more questions from me: (1) I would love to know how thick your lenses are on the outer edges--either in inches or centimeters. (2) Are you attracted to other guys with very think lenses?

(3) Could your Rx be refracted in high index, if you chose?

guest555 15 Jul 2008, 13:40

Brian:

My comment was merely based on the reactions I've got myself from my circle of gay friends and people I've met so far as a -10 wearer (got new glasses recently and jumped from -9 to -10) ... they are like "such nice eyes and face and those weird glasses" but all I do i caring less than nothing. As long as I can see, it's all that matters. Just like you, I'm never fully corrected, all I can get it's a 20/40 due to some corneal issues but is ok, I'm still pretty functional and I can drive in daylight. As for you glasses, they sound really amazing, being so thick and yet you like them!! You must look really hot and interesting... what do guys at clubs ask you about them? When I was younger I used to care a lot about mine, but nowadays it's something I enjoy, all the attention and stares I get with my glasses... My former BF was very supportive and grew to like them a lot, he insisted me on wearing them as much as I could, and now I think of it, I think he might've turned out to become a little turned on about being with a high myopic guy...

Brian-16 14 Jul 2008, 13:50

Eustace- Yes my friend and hang out quite a bit this summer.My brother,not so little now still has bifocals.I do have base out prisms with good old CR-39 lenses as I love thick glasses especially at the edges.

VFL 14 Jul 2008, 12:23

Straight...gay...bi...I don't care...

If the man looks good in glasses I take a second or third look.

Why, why, WHY? Do those eyes look so darling behind those lenses? I don't give a good healthy G-damn, but I'm glad that they do.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for having problems with your focusing power.

I am forever in your debt!

Love you, love you, love you!!!!!!!!

I wear glasses and contacts myself, but it's you guys.... Oh, God....I could nearly faint with the pleasure of it all...

Brian-16

More questions for you: As I recall you have prism lenses, but I cannot remember whether you have high-index lenses. (But I always forget: Can prism lenses be made in high index? Or is it astigmatism that cannot be corrected with high indexes?) And I am also wondering if you ever convinced your little brother to get trifocals. And what about your high school chum? (Do you still see him? As I recall you were going to different colleges.)

Eustace- Hello again and how have you been? I will be 22 in late October and this is my last year at college.Almost never take off my glasses except when sleeping.Last exam I passed -15 and the add is +3.50 with trifocals.I read books,etc,close up.I was able to convince my roommate to get bifocals and he is comfortable with them although he is around -6.He is one of a few who has 20/15 with glasses and he spots things and signs before I do.I am still not fully corrected and probable never will be.

Eustace 11 Jul 2008, 14:32

Brian-16:

It was good to see your recent postings. I believe that we "joined" Eyescene about the same time--when you were only 16, I think. It's hard to believe that you are now 22, so that was six years ago! I especially remember your posting that you shower with your glasses on (as I do having been inspired by you)--and that this way your glasses get clean at the same time that your body gets clean! (Actually, recently I have begun sleeping with my glasses on! Then, I don't have to grope for them in the morning or if I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.) Have you graduated from college yet, or do you have another year? I note that your Rx is up to -15. What is your add for your reading lenses now?

tinyeyes 10 Jul 2008, 20:52

Judging from this website, it seems that straight men are MUCH more numerous and active as far as being OOs (Optic Obsessives). I know gay men are a minority, but from the activity here I still have a hunch that the percentage of gay men who have a glasses fetish is quite a bit lower than the percentage of straight men who do, even within their own groups. I could certainly be wrong, though!

Brian-16 10 Jul 2008, 20:04

guest555 - I know other gay guys are interested in high rx glasses and I have also noticed guys want to know about my -15's I wear when I am out and about...

guest555 10 Jul 2008, 16:03

As for guys into glasses, I'd say most str8 guys are more willing to be seen in glasses or wear them full-time (even if they wear coke-bottles, let's say at the -9 & up range) than the regular gay guy... since they don't care about such vain details as much as we gay guys do, and on the other hand, gay guys would rather stay home all weekend long if they are having an eye infection and cannot wear their contact lenses to the club in a saturday night (heaven forbids, a guy wearing coke-bottle glasses at vanity and beauty sanctuary??!!) I think he would get funny looks and even being a hot looking guy, he would be considered nothing but a geeky nerdy guy in glasses.... such a shame, since most of the time glasses make a very strong personality and fashion statement... anyway... the day I find a guy in such kind of glasses at a club, I wont take my eyes off him and I'll make sure I'll let him know he looks good in those spectacles...

guest555 10 Jul 2008, 16:03

VFL 10 Jul 2008, 11:52

Nah, it's not just the gay guys...straight dudes have issues with specs as well.

I wore my glasses in front of a man I fancy for the first time last week and you should have seen the way his eyes lit up. There was no mention of them, but I could tell he was turned on.

When you don't say anything, but the lenses are there (and pretty substantial) the fascination is intense. Especially when you wear contacts full time and I think that RGP's are pretty noticable....

Love it. Love it. Love it.

Presbyope Lover 10 Jul 2008, 09:38

Glad to have initiated this discussion. I also agree with Rob, but do not understand the reasons as my original interest was with girls in glasses. Any thoughts?

James 10 Jul 2008, 06:06

I agree with Royboy to an extent.

But I think it is also more about the vulnerability of glasses. It is what the glasses mean.

It could, in this sense, be viewed as a more idiosyncratic variant on the bondage fetish...e.g. you want to chain someone up (or be chained up yourself - GOC anyone?) because of the helplessness / vulnerability it involves.

Brian-16 10 Jul 2008, 04:35

royboy-I agree with your theory.

royboy 09 Jul 2008, 16:58

i agree with Presbyope --- i think gay boys/men r very much into guys with glasses --- because of the sexual repression that occurs in younger [gay] boys when they r grapple with their sexual identity --- they tend to fixate [and develop fetishes] on very personal items/clothing belonging to someone of the same sex.

--- that is my observation [or at least my consolation] after having been confused for may years with what i thought were 'weird' fetishes.

does anyone one else identify with that theory too?

guest 09 Jul 2008, 07:55

The gay guys here are a rare minority. I think gay guys, in general, are less into glasses. It's probably due to vanity or self esteem. I believe that if you walked into two bars (one gay, one straight) with the same number of guys in each, that each would have about the same number of guys that need (or once needed) correction. The straight bar would have more guys in glasses, some in contacts, and a few who had lasik. The gay bar will have many CL wearers, several who have had lasik, and rare few with glasses. That's my two cents on the subject.

Presbyope Lover 09 Jul 2008, 02:42

Quick question to the group.....do you think gay guys are more into glasses? Seems like there are quite a few of us in here.....and if so ...why?

tinyeyes 08 Jul 2008, 21:25

tinyeyes 08 Jul 2008, 20:27

So I was in the locker room at the gym tonight, and I saw this guy with glasses. He wasn't looking at me so it was hard to tell, but the glasses looked like they had a significant RX. For a second I thought he looked like this guy I went out on a coffee date with a couple of months ago, but I decided it wasn't. Then he looked up at me and said hi -- turned out it was him! He had told me when me met before that he wore contacts, but I hadn't seen him in glasses before. His RX looked to be maybe -5 at the most, but it defintely made me much more attracted to him! He's white, tall and lanky, and kind of sexy-nerdy even without the glasses, so of course with the -5s I was ready to jump him! He mentioned that he just got off a plane a few hours earlier, so maybe that's why he wasn't wearing his contacts. Normally, -5 isn't that exciting to me (I've got a terrible fetish for high myopia), but there is something about this guy. I don't know how compatible we are otherwise, but I had to call him and leave him a message after I left the gym.

As long as I'm posting, I'll mention that I saw an Asian guy at the same gym with what looked like about a -13 or -14 RX -- amazing! But I didn't find him attractive at all, and he seemed straight anyway.

royboy 07 Jul 2008, 19:13

-10, thanx for the john lennon exhibit link --- very touching. ive never seen a review like this referring so prominently to an individuals glasses. JL's glasses at the time seemed so much just a part of him and were noticed subconsciously --- so much so that an extreme OO like myself never fixated on his glasses!

VFL 07 Jul 2008, 15:32

One other thing. I love seeing a guy who wears glasses full time in his sunnies for the first time.

I once had a guy I worked with walk with me from his office to lunch. It was 5 maybe 6 blocks away and when we got there he realized he'd left his clear specs on his desk. He didn't say anything at first, just paused for a moment as though he were thinking, then took the glasses off for just a moment. He looked around and blinked a few times as though to clear the fog, then just put them back on.

The sheepish way he asked if I minded if he left the sunnies on was so endearing I could have kissed him.

Of course he was a potential employer so that wouldn't have been the thing to do. It didn't stop me from wanting to, though.

Fritz 07 Jul 2008, 09:50

VFL: Yesterday I was having lunch at a pizza parlor and watched a very good-looking guy wear his prescription sunglasses throughout lunch. Out of solidarity, I presume, his less attractive pal sat with his non-presciprion sunglasses on throughout their lunch. At one point, when the non-presciption friend was watching the overhead tv, the cute one lifted his glasses for several seconds to look at the counter but quickly let them drop back on his nose. My estimate was that they were at least a -4/5 thus making them necessary for even seeing things clearly up close.

VFL 07 Jul 2008, 08:38

Over the holiday weekend I was thinking about how cute it is to watch the boys make the switch from their clear glasses to sunglasses. One in particular was sitting on the deck and leaned so far over his lap to do the old switcharooni he must be practically blind without them. Plus he did it so quickly I nearly laughed. What a self conscious move on his part. He laid the case on the umbrella table next to his drink. I kept stealing glances at that case so often you would have thought it was Pandora's box. He didn't even lift his head until the switch was made. Gotta see this boy bareeyed. Just gotta.

Good comments, all. I just have to laugh at online guys like that and move on. I may try to be a little less aggressive about glasses and Rx questions, though. It seems to scare some guys off. I do find that people are often ruder online -- sort of the way people are ruder when driving a car -- because they can get away with it.

DNBursky 03 Jul 2008, 08:24

Tinyeyes,

I find that online some guys are more willing to be seen in glasses, others say it's an odd request, in which I respond, I've heard odder things online.

David

guest 02 Jul 2008, 11:42

In my experiences I have found that gay guys are open to talking about their glasses when I initiate the conversation with a compliment about the style of their glasses. From there the subject of prescription will come naturally. I have also noticed that more gay guys know their prescription. Probably from also having contacts which list it on the package.

guest555 02 Jul 2008, 09:12

Tinyeyes: as for this guy, I do actually think he might be a "band-member" as he had a very warm approach the moment he picked up the coin I dropped... str8 guys are not usually that kind.. but who knows, he might be some sort of a good samaritan only... anyway, concerning your question for being too straight-forward asking a guy for a pic of him in glasses, it doesn't seem to be a harmful nor a twisted-minded request, just a "different" one I'd say...nothing to freak about.. as for me, I've never got an answer as rude as the one you got, I guess that guy's kinda resented with life for giving him the chance to see the world through some lenses... and yes, just like Brian, I've found gay guys are more open to talk about glasses and contacts more than other people... I guess it all has something to do with our broader horizons...

Brian-16 02 Jul 2008, 04:42

Tinyeyes- In my experience at college I find gays more than non gays more willing to chat about their glasses and eyesight.Of course I like to strike up a conversation first.This past year (my third) I do notice more students with bi-focals.I guess the strain of so much reading has taken its toll.Who says lined bifocals are out of date?

tinyeyes 01 Jul 2008, 23:16

Guest, your encounter was just great! Did you get the idea that the guy might be gay or interested in you? Even if not, it's still fun to talk to him about his glasses, huh?? He sounds just dreamy!

guest555 01 Jul 2008, 15:54

Hey, hello everyone! Dropped-by just to report I got the chance to have a small talk with the clear glasses guy, as we both were in line for our usual morning coffee!! I hadn't seen he was in line right in front of me (very long waiting line actually, everone's waiting fort something to wake-up) till I dropped a coin (I wonder, was it just mere unconcious accident?) and he leaned down to pick it up same time as me. We both smiled at each other, I said "thank you", he smiled back once more and then, right then and there, I gathered all my nerve and said "I've seen you here before..." He turned out to be very nice and friendly, a little geeky tho, but very nice. He realised I was wearing my glasses as well and suddenly we were talking about eyesight issues. He said his contacts are kinda uncomfortable lately and he's back in glasses for a while, besides, he says he's OK with wearing them, as it gives him a chance to rest his eyes. I asked about his RX and said it was about -12 , that his lenses were the thinnest his optician could get and they were fine... I mentioned I like glasses quite a bit, and he was kinda surprised to hear me say that... as Tinyeyes mentioned, he could've been bothered by this straight-forward comment and say bye-bye immediatly, but he just kept talking till we both got our orders. Hesaid goodbye by saying "Hope to see you later dude" and left... what a sighting! don't you think??

He's one of my favorites...He has huge eyes and sometimes wears fake plano glasses that accentuate his huge eyes.. but in reality he's super myopic and perfectly tiny-eyed in his glasses. I asked him what his RX was before, but never got an answer. It's got to be well into the teens... Imagine him groping for this coke-bottles when he wakes up in the morning....so sexy!

Awesome! Good luck with the clear glasses guy! I have sightings from time to time but I don't usually write about them. Here's an interesting one: I saw a guy at the gym the other day (Asian, late 20s maybe?) who had glasses that looked like they were about -3 in one eye and about -8 and much thicker in the other eye! That's always an unusual thing to see. It must be odd to have vision like that where one eye is so much better than the other.

guest555 19 Jun 2008, 10:20

hey y'all! I saw the cutie guy in the clear glasses again! Just as I thought, he's a regular at the Starbucks I usually attend! This time I saw him in a rush, as I was about to leave and he was arriving (in a casual attire, light baby blue shirt, khaki pants and some nice shoes, no blazer) and wearing the "spec"tacular clear glasses! I nooded at him as I was leaving hoping for him to remember our last saturday eye-encounter, to which he just smiled back slightly in a very friendly way... I hope I can run into him this coming weekend so I might gather the nerve to talk to him... now I just can't get enough of him!!

Great sighting, guest555; keep 'em coming!

guest555 18 Jun 2008, 10:10

It's been a while, and there seems to be just a little action arounf here... hasn't any of you guys had a sighting to report, or an experience to tell lately? I wanted to share a sighting I had last weekend, when I was at Starbucks getting some brown sugar for my order, I saw this guy entering and even though he was nice-looking (5' 7" aprox, slim, fair skin, brown hair, wearing blue jeans, white t-shirt and a blueish leather jacket, very stilysh), it was his glasses the thing that got my attention (I mean, c'mon, isn't it always the same??)... clear (and I mean cristal clear) plastic frames with thick (frame-width, actually)arms with some white decorations and a tiny silver-brand logo (I think they were Armani o something like that) holding very thick minus lenses I'd put in the -10 or something range, lots of power rings, quite a cut-in, very clear polished lenses, which I was able to see properly only when looking at his face, the extremely thick clear arms were quite a move to conceal his high myopia, giving the "My lenses are thick but you can't tell 'cause they look like one-single-clear-piece" look... He got in line and was looking at the menu-board when suddenly realised I was looking at him (that sugar was taking long to get!), gave me a slight smile (I blushed) and continued to place his order. I went back to my seat and continued watching... 4 minutes later he got his order, by the name "Freddy" and left just like that... I want to think he's a regular to this Starbucks, so I maybe get to run into him!!

Or were you all referring to the contact lens guy? Yeah, there's no way THAT kid is 28!

Highmyope 04 Jun 2008, 10:45

Sorry to break the news, but in that guy's video, he explains that he had cataracts when younger (hence the super high plus lenses) and would be getting implants later this year. Guess they didn't want to do the implants till he reached a certain age?

mattp 04 Jun 2008, 09:29

Jennifer--

If you go to his profile from the video of him and if you assume the profile is a also the same person in the video (he does talk about "My" lenses, then the cute guy is 28. But I don' believe that--the guy looks to be a teenager.

guest555 04 Jun 2008, 09:26

sorry about the mispelling... if you check CUTE's profile in youtube it says he's 28... but he looks SO much younger...

Any guess on how old the CUTE guy is?

guest555 04 Jun 2008, 06:58

That guy in the video posted by Tinyeyes looks so CUET!! A dream guy!! Love the accent, the eye colour, everything!! The braces and glasses combo give him that boy-ish nerdy look that drives me wild!! He seems to be quite farsighted, and with tons of cyl... I thought RGP were prescribed for nearsighted or extremely astigmatic eyes...

about the video posted on the chinese guy... I don't understand a word, and wosrt of all, even though the video lasts over 25min we never get a chance to see any glasses on the guy!! all we see at the end is him getting an intraocular lens and it seems it works fine since we see him smiling at theend... on the other hand, I can't hardly believe this guy's rx was -42!! I mean, I've met people in the -25 and beleive, that level of myopia is equal to being blind without really being vblind... -42 sounds more like being blind with just some light reaching the eye... I don't think he was able to see anything... say, what's the highest amount of myopia you guys have seen so far (in a guy or gal, whatever)??? in my case, I met an old friend of gramps' bearing -27 in eye while -23 in the other. He wore myodiscs lenses and when we meet, he saw my glasses and mentioned he had sorta my level of myopia when he was a boy. His eyes were extremely tiny and you could only see them looking closely and straight in his lenses.. If he had been younger, I would've gone for him, for sure!! I love guys in thick glasses like mine!!!

guest555 23 May 2008, 10:15

Concerning the guy in those videos, I do think he's got very limited and low vision even with his thick glasses. His eyes seem to be very weak (they actually look like a blind's person eyes)being unfocused, and squint-like. He seems very concerned about blind and low vision people, so I guess he's quite related to such conditions. Those glasses seem to be above -15, not yet to the -20 in wich his eyedoc would've suggested biconcave or lenticular eyeglasses. IMO, this guy's concerned about the blind in the same way we all high myopes know what's like not being able to see properly, we all feel like part of a "brotherhood" and understand how people conceive our condition. In my case, every time I meet a high myope like me the subject rises up and suddenly we're talking about things we only understand, like poor night vision, contact lenses, lenses' thickness, etc etc...

23 May 2008, 07:31

Wow. What do you think his Rx is? I noticed he is concerned about the blind. Does he have low vision with glasses?

tinyeyes 21 May 2008, 14:08

I can't seem to find a record of the stories I'm thinking of here... or on my computer. I will look around at home later.

Eustace, I would be interested in hearing more about your friend's reaction back then.... was he happy to indulge your fetish, or did he think it was weird (or both?) Was he embarrassed about his strong RX? More details would be great. For instance, did he put on his glasses to see the bedside clock, or just lean very close to see it? Did he continue to wear contacts full-time throughout the relationship? Hopefully he indulged you at night or at home by wearing his specs (and giving his eyes a rest.)

guest555 21 May 2008, 07:19

As Tinyeyes and Cactus have already said, RGP stands for Rigid Gas Permeable contact lenses, so, I guess the point's made clear... As for your experience, it sounds truly amazing how luck works sometimes, being a high-myopic guys' admirer ending up in a relationship with a very high-myopic boy right next to you without even knowing!! I'd like to know how he reacted furthermore, was he supportive towards you "special taste"? did he wear his coke-bottles lenses instead of his CL's just to please you? In my case, recently I got into this relationship with a very myopic guy (around -16) but it ended very fast since we were just wrong right from the start, all the attraction for me towards him were his glasses, and he claimed he wanted an "open" relationship, term which I just don't like at all. (I'm not a side dish, I'm a main course!! ) anyway, things like these, in which people get together just for some particular shared interest or fact, leads to unsuccessful hook-ups most of the time... so sad!! I think it's something really common, specially for us with this taste, (and so many others as well). Tinyeyes, browsing through old post I found some of your experiences and let me tell you, maybe not as as often as you, but I've been there, done that, meeting guys in thick glasses who are ashamed of them, wearing contacts 99.9% of the time (myself being a 95%, but that's another story), guys getting LASIK just because they think glasses don't fit the "regular gay guy" image (rubbish!)

Eustace 20 May 2008, 18:21

Tinyeyes: Yes,do post your stories again. I think I must have missed them.

tinyeyes 20 May 2008, 15:02

Eustace, RGP means Rigid Gas Permeable... that's the newer form of hard contacts, basically. Guest 555 mentioned that he thought the guy in the last photo link had a lot of cylinder in his RX-- I think that usually requires the hard lenses because crisp vision isn't always possible with soft lenses for someone like that. (I'm in the -9/-9.5 range in glasses with a lot of astigmatism, and I require RGP lenses myself.)

As for your story about your first boyfriend, what a delicious experience that first "reveal" must have been! I love it! I have a couple of similar (true) stories that I posted to this forum a long time ago. Should I post again?

Highly myopic guys wearing contacts is my ultimate turn-on. I find it more exciting than someone wearing glasses full-time, even if a very strong RX. I think it's because I'm similar, and also because I love the "secret" being "revealed"....

Cactus Jack 20 May 2008, 15:00

Eustace,

RGP = Rigid Gas Permeable. That means that they are hard contact lenses that let oxygen thru to get to the cornea. The cornea has no blood supply and therefore its oxygen has to come from the air. Early hard contacts were not gas permeable, which contributed to their discomfort and limited wearing time. The oxygen for the cornea had to come from the tear film that managed to get under the lens.

Eustace 20 May 2008, 14:36

Thanks, guys, for all the wonderful high minuts photos and videos. Guest555: What does RGP mean? No one commented on my You Tube postings! Can sometime tell me an easy way to cut and paste URL's onto an Eyescene post? Your stories reminded me of my first long-time(9 years)lover. When we first met, I had no idea he was very myopic but wore contacts. On our first sleep-over date, somehow I was bold enough to mention that I was attracted to guys who wear very thick glasses. He ask me to hold on a minute, and he went back to the bedroom where he had left his overnight bag and came back to the living room wearing wonderfully thick glasses in heavy metal frames. They must have been at least a -9 (and I think this was before high-index). I was in heaven!

Eustace

tinyeyes 20 May 2008, 10:16

Actually, the guy kinda broke up with me, and then moved away later.... we still talk sometimes though. He was a game-player and not the best person to be around, in reality... but definitely sexy and spexy! That is how it so often turns out..

guest555 20 May 2008, 07:27

Tinyeyes! so sad to learn your myopic friend is now so far away from you!! I bet he was a nice guy and spexy on top of it! So sad when 2 people meet, seem to get along very well and then PAF! suddenly, everything goes to c**p for some reason... Answering your question, Yeah, my glasses were kinda thick, since -9 is my CL's Rx, and as for glasses I think is somewhere in the -10.... in a rather big (51mm wide) plastic frame and I guess the mignifying effect was quite significant... As for the guy wearing spex in the pic... I'd estimate a -16 or more... and it seeme to me there's a lot of cyl going there... maybe this guy's a RGP lenses wearer giving his warped and weary corneas a little rest while reading....

I had a similar experience a few weeks ago . I was visiting a friend when his roommate who normally a somewhat attractive girl that I thought had 20/20 disappeared in her room for about half an hour, when she emerged my heart jumped a beat when she walked past us and I could clearly see glasses! (as well as a tshirt that did nothing to hide her assets :D). I followed her out to the kitchen and found that she was at least a moderate myope but the frames were dated plastic librarian types that made her look a lot older than she was :(

The few times we've chatted, she wants me to change my hair but I wouldn't mind changing her glasses :)

tinyeyes 19 May 2008, 21:42

Well, I guess that's one thing hetero guys and gay guys can agree on, at least when it comes to the glasses fetish!

hetero guy 19 May 2008, 15:55

For straight guys, nothing turns on as much either as suddenly discovering that a girl we're dating is a high minus girl. I dated a lovely girl 6 times, thinking she was 20/20. On the 7th date she opens the door and there she is in high minus glasses with flat fronts. My heart melted. That was the first night we slept together, She apologized for wearing her "ugly" glasses, because she had scratched her cornea. Here's to scratched corneas!

tinyeyes 19 May 2008, 15:16

Wow, an experience like that would be a dream date for me, and a huge turn-on! NOTHING turns me on more than discovering that a guy with no glasses is actually very nearsighted. These days, I wonder if most people can really detect how strong your lenses are though, with high-index lenses and all. Were your lenses particularly thick?

A couple of years ago I went on a few dates with a guy who I had no idea wore glasses, although I got a clue when he wasn't able to read a sign we were looking at in the distance once. I thought maybe he was slightly nearsighted. A couple of dates later, I went to his house to pick him up to go to a movie, and he opened the door wearing what must have been -8D glasses! You can imagine my surprise (and arousal)! Apparently his contact RX was in need of a bump! I still remember the door opening, and seeing his handsome face framed in rectangular black frames with telltale cut-in, power rings, and small eyes. When I complimented his glasses, he said the weather was so hot and dry (it was summer) that he just couldn't bear wearing his lenses any more that day, so he switched to glasses. On another date, he came to my house (wearing contacts) but brought his contact stuff and glasses with him so he could change in case he spent the night (which he did.) I LOVE the intimacy of being "in" on the contacts "secret" -- especially with a high myope! Unfortunately, my myopic friend lives halfway across the country now.

19 May 2008, 11:45

guest555 19 May 2008, 09:58

Regarding the article Tinieyes mentioned, has any of you guys who are myopic ever been set up for a date and been through the "my-contacts-hurt-like-hell" situation just to see your date's reaction towards the moment when high myopia's revealed to the counterpart??? I mean, I've been there, I'm a -9, and there was this guy I went out with for 2 previous dates, and on the 3rd I wanted to know what he would think about me being highly nearsighted. We went to this bistro place and kept rubbing my eye every now then, and he started to ask if I was OK. I said "yes, just a little dust got into my eye". Just after the waiter took our orders, I excused myself to the john saying my eye was itching, took my eyeglasses case (conveniently packed in my pocket) and went in... and then, I came back bespectacled... he just kept staring at me , I said "sorry about the glasses, but those damn things were killing me" and then he asked... are those your real glasses?? he was kinda surprised, mentioned he hand't thought that my eyes were so "damaged" (as he expressed)... I just said, "that's the way it goes for me". Dinner went through OK with no further comments on my eyesight (wich was kinda a turn-off, since I would've answered any question) and well, even though our relationship never developed to something more due to some other differences, I think he barely surpassed my little test... what do you guys think? ever had any experience like mine?

tinyeyes 18 May 2008, 20:35

Cool video...I love it when he has to hold the paper so close without his glasses! I don't think he's -10 though---probably more like -6 or -7. I wonder if that's the actor's real prescription?

On another subject, I have a copy of the gay magazine "Instinct" for April 2008 (sorry for the late notice), and they have an item about 2 guys going on a blind date. One of the guys has glasses that look to be around -7 or so. I would have been pleasantly surprised if he were my blind date!

Good question. Has your boyfriend brought it up?

Jennifer 07 May 2008, 14:36

VFL, I agree with you. Too, too bad. He's not my type either. I just don't like his attitude towards wearing glasses. He makes it sound so horrible. I wonder if he would change his mind with all the possible side effects. I believe he won't change his mind. He wants the glasses gone. What would happen if a significant other pleaded with him to keep them? Would he???

guest555 07 May 2008, 13:58

I guess we should warn them about the risks and/or side-effects of having LASIK, such as poor night vision, light glare and halos, dry eyes, rugged corneal flaps causing permanent blurry vision, etc etc... what do you say? isn't that enough? if I wwas being told all that I'd think twice b4 going 4 it

VFL 07 May 2008, 09:24

At least -5 something with a healthy dose of astigmatism to boot.

I agree with you Patrick B. I did enjoy all the referances to his bad eyesight and the struggles he had to overcome. To me, this movie was an OO's dream! I had so much fun watching it. I already ordered a DVD copy from PBS! It's been a long time since I've seen a film with so many references to eyesight. It made me wonder if the screenplay was written by an OO??? I would have written just the same! Love men in glasses!!!

Patrick B 21 Apr 2008, 09:10

Too bad that Daniel Radcliffe and David Haig didn't wear real glasses in last night's showing of My Boy Jack.

Jarred 08 Apr 2008, 14:48

I recon the reason there seems less minification of Matts eyes than the cut in would suggest is because there is some prism in there too. There is definately something going on in the esotropia/exotropia front. I have about 11D base out of prism and have a little bit of cut in with a -2D CYL +2D SPH correction for astigmatism. Great picture though! Its a shame there isn't a side shot, if there is prism involved in what is already a high minus prescription I would imagine those lenses are pretty thick.

alan 08 Apr 2008, 00:58

Matt Boyle is certainly for real - I think, with smaller frames and thinner lenses, high myopes wear specs closer to their eyes than they used to; hence slightly bigger eyes but still amazing cut-in.

tinyeyes 07 Apr 2008, 22:20

The Matt Boyle picture could be faked, but I think it's real. The photographer doesn't seem to have anything else like it in his photos, or any reason to fake high myopia for a photo shoot.

07 Apr 2008, 08:10

Shouldn't his eyes appear smaller given the substantial cut-in ?

guest555 07 Apr 2008, 07:04

Those lenses are definitely over -15. or he's not using a very high-index lens material. This handsome guy seems to bare another condition in his eyes, since they look as if he couldn't focus very well. Take a look and you'll see some difference between both eyes.Is it that all high myopic people have some other condition attached to their nearsightness? like retinal detachment, keratoconus, lazy eye, etc etc ??

Bottom line: this guy's really hot!! A dream come treu for an OO!!

Myopic Grant 05 Apr 2008, 19:40

That's an incredible cut in he gets with those lenses! I'd say that was over -15. Wish we could ask him...

Sorry, that's 2:20 on the SECOND video "I of the Beholder."

tinyeyes 05 Apr 2008, 08:05

If you want to cut to the chase on the first video link I just listed, go to about 2:20.

tinyeyes 05 Apr 2008, 08:04

He said he had lasik but I think he's joking? http://youtube.com/watch?v=gdgcw--VuTE

See him bare-eyed here. (Or is he wearing contacts? I am confused.) Either way, this is a fun video for a glasses-lover.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=vwsgr557jog

I think he's really cute and sexy.

04 Apr 2008, 14:31

when you look to his synonym GaerSummer there are a lot mre videos of him in glasses

guest555 03 Apr 2008, 10:47

that German guy looks great in those glasses... what RX could we stimate?? I'd say a -10 minimum, those are really thick glasses!!

guest555 28 Mar 2008, 11:20

I don't think that with such prescription he shows off in that pic he was actually able to drive. I mean, my BF is just -2.50 and he doesn't dare to drive without his glasses during daylight, not even squinting!! as for me, being -8 it's something I wouldn't even consider for a minute without my contacts or my glasses on. Anyway, I guess there many guys driving bare-eyed since there are SOOO many car accidentes these days everywhere...

guest 24 Mar 2008, 17:41

Lorenzo's rx had to have been lower than that. Here is a link to his lasik doctor's website in which he mentions driving without glasses.

http://www.castervision.com/hardcopy.php

24 Mar 2008, 15:06

For those of us who can't download YouTube, could someone insert a still of Lorenzo in glasses? I didn't even know he used to by myopic...

guest555 24 Mar 2008, 14:03

mmm... at his myopia level I guess he had to squint a lot when bare-eyed... what RX do you stiamte? -6, -7 perhaps??

guest 24 Mar 2008, 08:40

I like the nearsighted Lorenzo too. Too bad he got lasik. He recently turned 50 and still looks pretty hot but would look even hotter in his thick glasses which would probably have an add by now.

tinyeyes 23 Mar 2008, 22:31

Thanks... I LOVE the nearsighted Lorenzo Lamas. I hate lasik!!

Mark One 21 Mar 2008, 23:12

James,

The Actors thread has a link to several other shots from that series. Take a look at some of the other angles and the effect doesn't seem all that different from the pair he's wearing in the movie clips. I'd wager it was his real Rx at the time. The newer ones might be slightly stronger but more likely, you noticed an effect of that particular shot's angle.

tinyeyes 20 Mar 2008, 21:02

Love the new shot of Wentworth. Are those glasses rimless? What a hottie!

Alan 20 Mar 2008, 11:17

I'd say it was obvious his Rx has increased - no one would bother to wear minus CLs under a minus Rx.

Fritz 20 Mar 2008, 11:15

I'd say it's -6/-7 and clearly his real prescription which, cosmetically, is far too strong for his film work where it would show too much cut-in and too many power rings (not for us, of course!). If his character requires glasses, he is probably filmed in a weaker pair or perhaps a combination of a weaker pair on top of contacts. I really hate fake glasses and find it so annoying when you know a star is wearing contact lenses underneath the plano lenses. Alfred Hitchcock also insisted on the real thing.

James 20 Mar 2008, 08:55

Now I am getting confused. Wentworth's Rx looks significantly stronger here ( http://img181.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=63674_afton11oo3_122_186lo.jpg ) than it did in that movie, which points to a number of possibilities:

1. that was not his real Rx;

2. being in his twenties, his Rx is still increasing; or

3. he is just standing at a more "OO-delicious" angle in this shot

Can somebody estimate the prescription based on this photo?

19 Mar 2008, 15:09

Enjoying?

tinyeyes 18 Mar 2008, 20:18

Enjoying "Beauty and the Beast". I like these nerdy guys, even the one without glasses! Besides Matt, John (who got kickted off already) had nice glasses and looked to be about -8. Of course, that's nothing compared to Matt!

Yeah, I've heard of Prison Break and I saw photos of him with the short hair, but I've never seen the show.

James 16 Mar 2008, 00:32

Tinyeyes,

He's the dude from Prison Break - does that not bring up any pop culture references?

anyway, he usually has a shaved head and no glasses.

tinyeyes 15 Mar 2008, 23:56

I'm not familiar with this actor, but he's really cute! I looked him up on IMDB but there are no pics in glasses. I would guess maybe -6 or -7? Great find!

Wentworth Miller in glasses - any guesses at Rx?

Wayne 14 Mar 2008, 21:09

I had a nice sighting a few days ago. I was in an auto repair shop and spoke with a slim, nice looking Latino man -- early to mid-30's apparently with premature presbyopia.

He had cute oval wirerim bifocal glasses that really suited his face. The distance Rx appeared to be low plus and the reading portion significantly stronger.

13 Mar 2008, 08:24

However myopia comes about, Matt certainly has a hefty dose of it. Being just 21, it's sure to increase. All I have seen so far are the few snapshots and video preview. I was hoping that someone would have uploaded to You Tube. I can't watch the episodes on my computer because CWTV requires Move Media Player which does not work on old (4 years) Macs. Can anyone here who has ever downloaded torrents recommend a good website. Did the subject of Matt's glasses come up in the first episode?

Julian 12 Mar 2008, 19:05

DOES that follow? Can't myopia start later but still go pretty high? To me the nice thing is that eight out of nine are spexy guys.

Myopic Grant 12 Mar 2008, 17:09

Wow, that Matt guy must have started wearing glasses when he was three to be that myopic at 21. Amazing!

12 Mar 2008, 09:36

Serious myopia on Matt. I haven't seen Beauty & the Geek but was wondering if the show does makeovers. I hope not because they will probably put him in contacts.

James 12 Mar 2008, 05:50

SZ6 11 Mar 2008, 20:10

Anyone interested in high-minus guys might want to watch "Beauty and the Geek" this season. One of the guys, Matt, wears extremely thick minus glasses, probably at least -20. He's not gorgeous or anything, but not incredibly unattractive either.

more lurker ;-) 02 Mar 2008, 12:18

I dunno that you have said, but I would have wished he was about 20 years younger. Also one thing that hits me could it be GOC and a experiment ? Its very selldom seing a sight like that, most high myopes has gotten inplants by now in all civilized west countries

lurker 02 Mar 2008, 08:42

I think his might be a case of "If you can't beat them, join them." With glasses like his he has probably met guys who are turned off by them and those who are turned on. He has probably had more fun with the ones who are turned on and has decided to accept it and be upfront about it. I once knew a guy who had bad eyes, but not as bad as this guy, and would post pictures without glasses on personals sites. When guys met him in person they were disappointed because they were not expecting the thick glasses. This guy is doing it right by basically saying 'this is who I am. I have to wear these glasses that I am basically blind without and if that turns you on let's get together' I'm with you Fritz, I wish he wasn't so far away.

Fritz 01 Mar 2008, 23:29

tinyeyes and royboy -- the dude is really hot and must be into his glasses since he's so upfront about being blind without them. -20 or thereabouts? Wish he were in California.

Out of town again, met a guy online who told me beforehand he had a -11D RX. (And sent a photo to prove it). You can imagine my excitement. Cute Asian guy who looks part Caucasian but is not. He came to meet me wearing contacts (as I requested). Later at his apartment I watched as he pinched out his soft contacts and practically touched the contact case with his nose as he put them away. Then he put on beautiful rectangular wire-rims with very small lenses. The cut-in and power rings were amazing, and his eyes SO tiny. He was actually very nice about my fetish and found it mildly amusing.

Fritz 19 Feb 2008, 09:50

Looks like Cute Craig of YouTube fame has his own hair -- at least it looked real when he tugged at it in his latest video while wearing his really hot glasses. I think he's balding somewhat in the front and just has his hair combed forward somewhat to hide the receding hairline. He really needs a good stylist.

Cactus Jack 18 Feb 2008, 20:55

tinyeyes,

Torics are only good for astigmatism. So far, there is no way to put prism in contacts. It might theoretically be possible, but they would be almost impossible to wear. Even torics move and rotate some on the eye and prism is even touchier than astigmatism regarding the positioning of the lens.

Reduction in apparent eye size is a very good indicator of Rx, the amount of reduction in size and cut-in are related to the Rx and the vertex distance.

tinyeyes 18 Feb 2008, 20:14

Thanks... I don't think I quite understood that distinction. So, with high amounts of prism, are toric contacts needed? Hmm, at any rate, the other way I gauge high myopia is by the "tinyeyes" effect of image reduction. That is a good indicator, right? That always seems to go hand in hand with cut-in, though... Hmmm...

Cactus Jack 18 Feb 2008, 08:27

tinyeyes,

I didn't mention astigmatism in my comment about BI or BO prism affecting cut-in because astigmatism is not related to prism. Cylinder and axis usually correct for irregularities in the curvature of the cornea and prism usually corrects for muscle or eye position control problems and sometimes for accommodation problems. High cylinder could affect cut-in and the appearance of the lens, but it depends on the amount and the axis.

Toric soft contacts can be used to correct moderately high astigmatism if the contacts will stay in position with the axis aligned properly. There are many factors that can affect axial alignment of torics such as amount of astigmatism, tightness of eyelids, tearing, and skill and experience of the examiner.

tinyeyes 17 Feb 2008, 21:34

Thanks for the tip, Cactus Jack. I knew that there is more to it than cut-in, but it's one of the best indicators I have for strength of prescription. I did date someone a few years ago who seemed very nearsighted, yet there wasn't much cut-in to his glasses. So are you saying such a person would have a lot of astigmatism? Would they be able to wear soft contacts (because he did)?

By the way, Craig looks really awesome in his new video wearing glasses.

Cactus Jack 14 Feb 2008, 18:16

tinyeyes,

You can't always judge an Rx by the amount of cut-in at the outer edge of the lens. Base Out Prism can significantly increase the amout of cut-in at the outer edge and Base In can significantly reduce the cut-in.

tinyeyes 14 Feb 2008, 07:19

Actually, looking again, maybe his RX is even higher. Maybe -13 or -14? The cut-in is amazing! What do you think?

tinyeyes 14 Feb 2008, 07:17

I'm no expert! Funny thing, his profile says he's only 21, but he looks much older. The RX? Hmm, I'd say he's around -12 or so maybe. It's funny the way he takes his glasses off in videos. He must not have contacts.

James 14 Feb 2008, 03:30

Awesome find tinyeyes!

May we have your professional and expert assessment of his Rx?

tinyeyes 13 Feb 2008, 22:04

VFL:

Yes, your fantasy is a real turn-on for me. My fantasy might be embellished (or detailed) a bit: Both guys are naked and do not remove their glasses at night until after turning out all the lights, and both put their glasses on before they get out of bed. Even better if both have very thick lenses--with Rx of -10 or higher. Even better if at least one of them wears bifocals--or even trifocals. And, of course they shower (perhaps together?) with their glasses on, etc., etc. Well, I could go on . . . .

tinyeyes 08 Feb 2008, 19:12

Wish we'd had more of a glimpse, but yeah, I would guess Ben's RX to be around -4 or -5. I like his glasses, but it doesn't hurt that he's extremely good-looking, too. I would love to get a better look at Ronnie's glasses, too!

VFL 08 Feb 2008, 11:08

Oh, I know! I go crazy over just the thought of a man putting his glasses on before even throwing back the covers. It is in that automatic, well-practiced move. Add this to the fantasy... you are his partner lying in bed on your stomach beside him while you both gaze out the Manhattan skyline together, snuggling under the covers to soak up that last bit of warmth before getting up and mock fighting over who gets to make the coffee.

Julian 08 Feb 2008, 06:47

I'm with you there, tinyeyes; and I think Ben is superhot in his glasses. You're our myopia expert, what do YOU think his Rx is? My guess is -4 or 5, but you'll know better than I do.

A glorious summer day in New Zealand enhanced by a glorious sighting. Sitting outside a cafe in the sun four beautiful guys happy with themselves. All wearing glasses, two in sunglasses so did not take much notice of them; but the other two! One wearing the latest (in New Zealand anyway) IC Berlin frame in silver perhaps best described as rectangular with curved corners and almost straight temples. Lens about -3, fair stylish hair, beautifully dressed and a really good looker. The other wore glasses similar to the late James Dean, lower minus about -2, in a light brown colour. Both pairs perfect for the wearers. A great sighting. I had to go in to the cafe to look out the window for another angle, left and went down the road a bit and came back to have another look. Truly glorious!

Julian 27 Jan 2008, 17:18

Julian 27 Jan 2008, 17:18

tinyeyes 26 Jan 2008, 17:18

Wow, Fritz, great sightings.... those guys sound amazing!!

As for Craig, I hope you're right about him. Whether gay or straight, though, I think he's in a relationship because in his other videos he talks about "we" a lot, as in "we" like to throw parties, etc. By the way, if you look at his other videos, he shows his old glasses he got 18 years ago, but he doesn't try them on.

I really like him-- I think he's cute and seems nice and his glasses/RX are awesome. Check back because he says he will post a video wearing his glasses as soon as he gets them back from the optician.

Fritz 26 Jan 2008, 14:02

tinyeyes and royboy -- did either of you listen carefully to the video that guy did when he found out that he had lenses too strong for his prescription?

He mentioned that they referred to him as a "she" so that he wouldn't know they were talking about him and the error the lab had made. Geez, doesn't he know they were being rude and, of course, assuming he was gay. I can't imagine him not being gay and, if he isn't, then he's really got an identity problem.

Good sighting here in SF. A rather cute late thirty-something with a sharp widow's peak and biconcave lenses in an extremely small oval frame. Estimate: -15/-16. Another great sighting in my club's locker room: a stocky guy with clean-cut Irish looks and very trendy (and extremely small) rectangular plastic frames which were a sort of clear red. I'd guess his lenses were at least -14 with a lot of cut-in, numerous power rings and, I think, slightly biconcave. Quite hot.

Julian 24 Jan 2008, 11:35

Matt: I see what you mean, but I think what you think is a bifocal line is the edge of the lens, and the lower line is its shadow on his cheek.

mattp 24 Jan 2008, 07:34

And in #21, it looks like his glasses are bifocals.

sam12744 24 Jan 2008, 02:56

I'm glad you guys liked those videos -- aren't they great? The Brazilian guy's did seem very erotic, with his shirt off and everything. So hot! The other guy seems gay to me, but probably has not idea that people would find his glasses erotic. But I certainly do! I loved his description of wearing his powerful lenses for the first time and how tiny everything looked. Look at his other videos-- in his first one he shows off his 18-year old glasses with a broken earpiece, and in another video he describes about how his new glasses were actually -13s and that's why he was having trouble with them! I hope he does more videos wearing his glasses, next time without his contacts on! LOL he was wearing like -24 diopters of correction with both on!

royboy 20 Jan 2008, 17:06

hi fritz, my old sfo friend --- yes, he did say that his old pair was -7 and the new pair was 10.5

quite a leap!

royboy 20 Jan 2008, 17:03

tinyeyes --- thanx for posting that utube vid of the heart-throb from brazil --- he is to die for! i even managed to drop him an email complementing him on the vid which i exclaimed was somewhat erotic [in a subtle way...]

Fritz 20 Jan 2008, 15:19

Tinyeyes - Great sighting in SF! I live in San Francisco and have always thought that more men will wear strong glasses here than in LA. As I have always maintained, however, most people are oblivious to lens strength unless the lenses aren't hi-index and are noticeably thick (something you don't seem much of anymore.) I'm having dinner tonight with an Asian friend who is 40, tall and quite good-looking. Best of all, he wears glasses that are somewhere between -10 and -11. Too bad he's straight!!

I should be in LA and the Desert over the next several weeks and will have to put my theory to the test. Oh, thanks for the video links. Those two guys are awesome, although it was too bad that the Latino (?) didn't speak. I think his new glasses were stronger than the old pair they replaced. Any thoughts?

The airport was especially good-- I saw a very good-looking, scruffy guy in his late 20s who was wearing powerful plus lenses when reading, but took them off when he got up and walked around. They looked strong to me, so I was surprised he was able to do fine without them.

Best of all was a smaller-build, fairly cute guy in his 30s with dark features (Jewish or Israeli maybe), who was wearing what must have been -14s or -15s. Amazingly, his glasses weren't very thick (the frames were small). In fact, even though his eyes looked very small and the cut-in was deep, he looked pretty normal and I think most people wouldn't notice how strong his glasses were (except for an OO like me, of course.) He had a great pair of glasses.

tinyeyes 04 Jan 2008, 23:25

James, too bad you're so far. It would be great to meet other OOs...

James 04 Jan 2008, 02:04

tinyeyes,

I am South African and live in Johannesburg. Don't seem to get those gym sightings as often as you do though - clearly I'm going to the wrong gym!

tinyeyes 03 Jan 2008, 23:40

Yeah, I've enjoyed watching that myself. Where do you live, James?

James 03 Jan 2008, 23:05

tinyeyes,

thanks for that, you're definitely right. also have a contacts fetish, and nothing is better than watching someone blind putting in / taking out lenses at the gym

tinyeyes 03 Jan 2008, 21:32

Forgot to mention, I assume he's wearing RGP hard lenses because I can see the edges of them inside the colored part of his eye. Hard lenses are usually much smaller than soft lenses, which would extend into the white of the eye. David's are actually pretty big for hard lenses, which surprises me considering the high power of his prescription. Contacts are just like glasses in that the larger they are, the thicker they are (with a minus RX). If I'm wrong, please correct me.

tinyeyes 03 Jan 2008, 21:28

James, I have a "contact fetish" myself -- particularly for hard lenses.

Look at the largest photo size and you can see his lenses:

James 02 Jan 2008, 23:51

tinyeyes - couls you a post a link to the photo where you say you can see he is wearing RGP's (and maybe how you could tell)?

I find that sort of thing (visible contacts) quite a turnon

tinyeyes 02 Jan 2008, 20:55

Wow, I wasn't sure David's RX was quite -12, but there it is from the guy himself. Awesome!

James, I think you're right about RGP lenses. I think most people who wear them tend to stick with them and not switch back and forth with glasses as much. But I guess this guy is an exception. He seems very un-self-conscious about his glasses, which is so cool!

Myopic Grant 02 Jan 2008, 07:38

I wonder how old this David guy is and how old he was when he started wearing glasses. It would be interesting to see old pictures of him wearing different glasses over the years and how they gradually got stonger.

mattp 02 Jan 2008, 06:49

James--

I've been browsing David Lee King's flickr photos. He seems like quite a cool guy. I love his glasses--strong lenses in a small frame like his result in really compressed power rings that I find a real turn on.

DLK needs to shave what hair he has remaining--the half-bald look just makes him look old and nerdy. Full baldness crosses the line into sexy.

James 01 Jan 2008, 23:18

Tinyeyes,

You're right on the money. Just found this photo in his Flickr collection where, in the comments below, he says his Rx is -12.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidking/326293949/

Interesting that you say he wears RGP's - my impression was that people who wore hard lenses wore glasses very seldom (because of the warped corneas etc.) but he seems to wear his a lot, possibly even more than half the time (not saying you're wrong, YOU would know, just that it's interesting).

tinyeyes 01 Jan 2008, 14:16

Thanks James for posting those. I discovered him recently, and I think he's awesome and very nerdy/sexy... just a dream guy as far as I'm concerned. Did you see his videos? There are quite a few where he wears his glasses. http://blip.tv/file/126829/

I think his RX is more like -11 or 12. Definitely double digits. In one of his photos I could tell he was wearing RGP hard contacts, so he probably has a lot of astigmatism along with a very healthy dose of myopia. :-)

Thanks James! 31 Dec 2007, 13:27

His prescription is at least -10 and the small glasses certainly do suit him. Based on his age, I bet he owned a very large pair in his teens or twenties and they probably weren't high index either.

James 31 Dec 2007, 11:40

Happy new year to all on this board!

As a new years present, have posted 69 photos of a myopic (though unfortunately straight) librarian and computer geek to Guys Glasses 13, here

http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/guysglasses13/photos/browse/c85b

He seems to have no special interest in / fetish for glasses, and yet, coincidentally, lots of the photos almost seem taken to titilate an OO.

Anyway, have posted some pics of him in contacts too, both to show the contrast, highlight his AMAZING eyes, but also because he is such a beautiful man I couldn't resist.

From my stash of photos, it seems like he wears glasses more than 50% of the time. Think he is the PERFECT example of glasses fitting and suiting a person's face well - obviously he's wearing the tiny ovals that don't suit 90% of the people who choose to wear them, but somehow seem made for him.

Anyway, this guy does things to me, not sure if you guys agree. In any event, can some of the experts hazard a guess at his Rx?

He's also a good candidate for liposuction. I don't think even the best frames would make him look better.

Patrick B 26 Dec 2007, 15:41

I'd guess that guy's glasses are somewhere in the high teens and probably very old judging from the out-of-date frames. At least I hope the pictured glasses aren't his new ones. If they are, he really got hosed. He's the perfect candidate for lenticular lenses in a more appropriate and modern frame.

26 Dec 2007, 15:10

anyone care to guess what his rx is?

Morgan 26 Dec 2007, 13:41

HI! Just got my new rx and it's gone up another -.75 and the prism increased too!! Well, I added that in! So, that puts me up to a -11ish now. Love to chat and get to know other high RX buddy's and prism wearers. I am in the Baltimore area (east coast). I am a bi/gay masculine guy and I am starting to see alot more guys with a significant rx difference between the left and right! And I must say it's got my attention even more! I like it. Guess I am freaky, but hope to chat more and contribute more. That guy with the -23's is pretty good lookin too! Hope to meet someone that I can share my glasses collection with! Say hi!

James 17 Dec 2007, 01:19

Tinyeyes,

As a born cynic, I am also always skeptical as to whether the prescriptions are real.

Like it in particular when you see the person's progression with different scripts over a period of time -this definitely ups the "real" factor, so long as the progression is realistic (good example of UNrealistic: George, whose Rx was -8 two years ago, and is supposedly -13 today....hmmmm....)

tinyeyes 16 Dec 2007, 14:12

Thanks for posting.. I had seen some of the photos before, but many of them I had never seen. Amazing! With these super-strong RXs, though, I'm never sure if it's real or GOC. Either way it's interesting to see, but for me, it's always for fascinating if the RX is real.

James 15 Dec 2007, 21:54

I think at one time he said his RX was -23 and those are not lenticulars. You can find more pictures of his glasses here.http://community.webshots.com/album/301007506vsJJns

Hi all--

If you go to the youtube site to see George in his -10 glasses, be sure to look over in the right hand column at an interview with Jensen Ackles by Teen People magazine. I have no idea who Jensen Ackles is, but I guess he's an actor. Anyway, he's a nice-looking young man wearing some low RX glasses that fit his face quite nicely.

tinyeyes 19 Nov 2007, 23:00

This guy looks great in his -10 glasses-- too bad he's getting rid of them!

tinyeyes 14 Nov 2007, 23:27

Well, that's a little disappointing, but it's still a cool film. Now, I would like to see what the filmmaker looks like!

DNBursky 13 Nov 2007, 12:47

I found out that the webfilm about the guy who helps a girl from a stalker doesn't really feature the actor's eyeglasses. I found out and the glasses belong to the creator of the film. He wouldn't tell me more.

mattp 07 Nov 2007, 08:02

I had an interesting sighting at a birthday party the other night. Years ago, we were friends with a young couple; the husband/father wore some pretty serious plus glasses (magnified eyes, lenses beyond the frames on the top). The couple got divorced early on, and we lost touch for a few years. At the time, the son was maybe ten years old and did not wear glasses.

The woman remarried, and we became friendly again with her and her new husband; we had not seen the son or father in many a year until the second husband's birthday party the other night. The first husband was there (surprisingly) with his thick plussers, now in bifocals. More interesting was the son's vision--now in his mid-thirties, he was wearing plus glasses close to his father's in strength. Nice looking, he takes after his mother, but those glasses--he got his father's vision! Interesting that he did not wear glasses at ten the last time I saw him--I would think that much hyperopia would have been evident then, although maybe, like most children, he refused to wear his glases.

tineyes 30 Oct 2007, 22:09

mskay 29 Oct 2007, 19:36

I was walking into my apartment building where I have lived for 3 years and as I got out of my car, a very handsome young guy got out of a car a few cars down. He looked my way and I saw he was wearing wire rims frames with maybe a -3 or -4 prescription. He had short dark hair and was very well built. We walked into the same entrance then headed to different floors. Hope I run into him again soon and get a better look and get a chance to talk.

dillusionbr 24 Oct 2007, 12:59

I spotted a young guy on the train today: about 20 yo, tall and in good shape, closely cropped blond hair. He sat facing me but I didn't take much notice of him as he wasn't wearing his glasses -- until he was getting up to get off at the next station. He started fishing for his glasses in his backback and produced a rather small, rectangular, blueish-colored plastic frame with the most powerful plus lenses I've seen in years. Generally, I'm more into guys in strong minus glasses, but he definitely made my day. His rx must have been at least +8, maybe even more. A good friend of mine is a +6, and this guy's glasses were definitely stronger, so he had been sitting their in complete blur!

17 Oct 2007, 09:43

I think the smoking dude spend too much time rubbing his obviously tiny pecker.

He's a sick fuck and ugly to boot. Infact he's so ugly he could turn a gay dude straight.

12 Oct 2007, 09:16

Real or fake, I think it's great that he is making and posting these movies on you tube and pictures on flickr. I just wish that he would mix it up and leave the bathroom. Marlover/Baco if you are reading this please continue to show us your glasses. I'd love to see you film yourself waking up, feeling around for your glasses, then lighting up your first cigarette. I'd also love to see any old glasses you have.

11 Oct 2007, 15:03

Looks like someone suggested to the "smoking myope" that squinting might make it look more authentic. He spends too much time peering out from underneath his frames or out the sides. I don't know any other self respecting high myope, including me, who does that. I think James' first posting was spot on.

James 11 Oct 2007, 11:43

I wasn't so much expecting squinting, which I don't think would make any difference at that level of myopia....more just what I can only describe as the "blank" stare of high myopes without glasses. Does anyone else know the "blankness" I mean?

Anyway, I am much more convinced after this latest video with the "ah, now I can see" moment, and in any event, would much rather you guys were right about him being the real thing anyway.

tinyeyes 10 Oct 2007, 00:22

I was a little suspicious too, but I'm convinced for the moment that he's a real high myope. He had kind of a "now I can see" look when he put his glasses on. I love that. Also, I hate smoking too, but somehow, I must admit it's a little erotic. It also gives him something to do while modeling the glasses for us.

Julian 09 Oct 2007, 16:35

I didn't mean to post this comment, but neither of those videos does a thing for me. Apart from the very valid point Russell makes, I find smoking a total turn-off, even when it isn't done with that masturbatory fervour...

09 Oct 2007, 15:16

Agree with MinuX16. He's also way too comfortable with his glasses not to be a high myope.

MinuX16 09 Oct 2007, 11:25

Hello! James, sorry to disagree a little bit, but as a high-rx user I can tell you that when I'm not wearing eyeglasses, and I'm familiar with the location I'm in, I don't squint so often. I just keep my eyes open naturally and even better, since the CL's are not hurting my eyes (they do hurt a little bit, permanently, even if you're a long-time wearer) and I can manage as if I was able to see perfectly. It's quite hard to tell when somebody is wearing RGP CL's, since they're so tiny and do not get out of the iris region, but I can tell this guy knows what he's doing even if not being able to see the camera properly... and well, just a thought

James 09 Oct 2007, 10:16

Now I'm the LAST person who would ever want to ruin the fabulous porn but is there anyone else who thought he looked like he could "see" too much when looking at the camera before putting the glasses on?

Didn't seem to have that high-myopic "blank" stare.

Just a thought though....

sourgrapes 09 Oct 2007, 07:56

I'm sure the lung cancer fetishists will still love him. :)

Awesome video and clearly glasses porn with some super thick biconcave lenses. Must be at least -13/-14, perhaps a bit more.

tinyeyes 04 Oct 2007, 20:31

OH, and in the excitement of the video, I almost forgot to mention my glasses sighting tonight. At the gym, a tall, muscular, good looking, very nearsighted young asian guy with great looking black framed glasses to match his jet black hair. His glasses were just thick enough to have a coke bottle look, and around -8 maybe. And yes, he was "tiny-eyed". It was fun stealing glances at him, but he seemed perfectly straight. He gave me a surprise bonus before I left though... I was in the bathroom area and he walked to the sink, took his glasses off and washed them under the faucet, washed his face, then stood back and looked at himself bare-eyed in the mirror (what could he possibly see?!) and then after drying the glasses put them on as he walked away. WOW!

tinyeyes 04 Oct 2007, 20:05

Wow, it's glasses porn. Finally, we needed this! Very cool.

MinuX16 03 Oct 2007, 12:26

I'd say the chubby guy in the pic bears from a -12 to a -14 RX, but these days you never know, since high-index lenses are the rage and everywhere... Mine are a -16 and something else (due to my high cyl correction) and they look like a regular -10... so... anyway... IMO, that spexy guy is definitely NOT a sexy guy.

Any guesses on the RX of the chubby guy? I'm thinking it's at least -13 or -14?

tinyeyes 02 Oct 2007, 23:25

Cute is in the eye of the beholder, but if you like strong minus glasses, this guy definitely has that in his favor!

MinuX16, I have met guys who were accommodating (to a certain extent) about my fetish, but usually they were kind of tolerating it because it wasn't their thing. More often, I was too shy/embarrassed to really admit the fetish to them. There was one guy who I think actually shared the fetish, but the relationship ended for other (very dramatic) reasons and we never got to explore the shared fetish further. He was about a -9, too, and full-time glasses wearer! I hope you find that partner who embraces you, your glasses and your fetish. Me too!

Tinyeyes (gosh, I just can't help falling for you nickname, so cute!!) As you mentioned, meeting guys wearing thick minus glasses as we do is quite difficult and when the chance comes, it turns out either he's not interested or hates the fact he wears glasses, and often complains about the coke-bottles. In my case, it used to think that way, but nowadays it's not only that I wear my glasses when I'm feeling like it (actually, not so often, since I get better vision in CL's) but the fact that it's been sort of a prerrogative for me that I only date guys who wear glasses. I think a guy in glasses would react much better than a non-wearer when they find out I'm blind as a bat and when they see I wear the coke-bottle glasses, although it could turn out wrong... in my case, if the guy turns out to ask me to take off the glasses, it would instantly mean "Hasta la vista, baby" since they're a big part of who I am... anyway... and what about you guys, say, has any of you ever dated a high myopic guy with no issue with the glasses thing? I really wander how is it like actually being able to show off the thick glasses with no hesitation, but arousal or empowerment instead? any thoughts?

Jay 30 Sep 2007, 18:02

Julian and Fritz. My harddisk gave up on me and so I had to wait until I could get a new one and transfer everything - it's been ages since I could get online again. I had another eyetest but he said there was no significant increase (phew!) but gave me and add of +3.00 to help with reading. I get my new glasses soon. The builder I told you about before turned up again and asked me to go to a pub but when I got there he wasn't wearing his glasses but contacts! Damn I thought he looked so ordinary so I told him. When we met again (another pub) he had his black spex on which really made my day. BTW Julian, I don't get my nearsightedness from my father - it comes from my mother and we all inherited it from her. My father has allowed us to choose our new glasses ourselves so I'm going for the black frames in some kind of plastic.

Fritz: I have THREE brothers (2 older 1 younger) and two sisters and we all wear glasses although my two older brothers now have contacts which leaves me and my younger siblings as the "foureyes" in the family. My little brother Fred is very nearsighted at around -14 but proudly wears his spex and doesn't mind the names he's called. I'm happy to be getting new glasses and don't mind the thick lenses now - at least I can see!

tinyeyes 29 Sep 2007, 00:03

MinuX16, thanks for your nice words. My frames are dark plastic, with semi thick arms, but probably not as wide as yours. Yours sound great! I would totally love to see you in glasses and it's always been my dream to have a boyfriend with strong minus glasses, but it just never seems to work out quite like that.

Can you post your photo, maybe in the Yahoo guysglasses group? I (we) would love to see it!

SIMEON NAKED 28 Sep 2007, 09:47

Sweet, sexy, myopic, Simeon must be blind without his glasses. They stay on his face even while he swims and jerks off. Still pictures and video

sam12744 28 Sep 2007, 09:17

MinuX16,those glasses sound great and I would love to see you in them.Nothing turns me on more than a guy in thick,powerful glasses and the way you describe yours,they sound just perfect.

MinuX16 27 Sep 2007, 08:37

Tinyeyes (BTW, what a cute nickname) you're so right, having a pair of glasses as a backup is so right, specially for us, the high myopic... for me, they're very useful when I remove the CL's before going to bed, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to make my way to bed! and for so many other tasks as well. My eyesight it's damn bad at -16, so, I think your point's quite clear. Say, what kind of frame do you have? mine are suited in a black plastic CK frame 48 width and thick arms, in order to help me hide the thickness, and the lenses are 1.7 high index with AR coating. Although they cause a weird minifyng effect on my eyes due to the cylinder, I think they don't look that bad on me, they're still kinda fashionable, the only thing it's they're quite thick... I used to care a lot about that, but since's that the way things are, well, nowaways all I care it's that I can see and I like other guys in glasses. I think I'd like to have a BF that wears and likes glasses just like me, it think it would be so cool!! unfortunately, there seem to be only a small group of guys that like guys in thick glasses, and well, they tend to keep it a "secret" ...

tinyeyes 25 Sep 2007, 20:42

I've been wearing hard or RGP contacts for many years, and I wear them for at least 12-14 hours per day as well. Sometimes I give my eyes a break from them and wear my glasses -- especially if I'm doing something that stresses my eyes, like taking a long flight. I have glasses of course, although in my teens and early twenties I actually went through a period where I didn't have any glasses with my correct RX -- only contacts. That wasn't the best. When you're highly myopic, it's nice to have glasses as a backup even if you only wear them at bedtime. I also see much better with contacts than glasses, and that's one of the reasons I don't wear my glasses very much.

MinuX16 25 Sep 2007, 13:06

hi Tinyeyes! well, the reason I just couldn't wear my RGP's last weekend is still a little unknown for me, I just couldn't keep one of the lenses in, it kept popping-out my eye with no reason, although I kept cleaning it often... so I couln't bare wearing just one (it's damn uncomfortable as you might know, being able to see crispy-clearly in one eye and almost blind in the another) so I decided to go for my glasses. Ams as far as I'm concerned to other people, I got all those stares due to the weird minifying effect the lenses have on my eyes, although I still think there might've been some other great guy just like you that was looking at me in other way.... anyway, say, have you ever had an experience like mine? how long do you wear your lenses per day? I do wear mine for about 12-14 hours per day, and I almost have no problems with them... and well, honestly, I do have a pair of glasses "just in case" and because I like wearing thick glasses just as I like seeing guys in them as well.

tinyeyes 25 Sep 2007, 07:33

MinuX16, I would have been staring at you in your coke-bottles, too -- for different reasons than the people you saw, perhaps! I wear RGPs, too -- how come you weren't able to wear them that day?

MinuX16 24 Sep 2007, 07:55

Hello everyone!! Yes, as you've said, taking a little break to go to the WC and refresh a pair of dried RGP CL's is a cool chance to try some other eyeglasses, actually, it's kinda fun, you know? the thrill, the rush, the mix of a little guilt with excitement... wow! BTW, I was going to tell, just this past saturday I've a "bad CL day" and had to spend the whole day wearing my glasses.... at first I was up to nothing since my vision doesn't reach a 100% in them, but later on I felt bored and went to the local mall for some shopping. I got quite a few stares regarding directly to my coke-bottled eyes, and honestly, I got a little aroused, since most people migth have thought that I wasn't able to see them properly (at a point it was true, the darker it gets, the blinder I go) but in the meantime I liked the idea of attracting that attention.... nice thing to do for a change... I might be doing it more often!!!

Fritz 17 Sep 2007, 17:26

At least you two have an excuse to go to the john: rewetting your own contact lenses and spending that extra bit of time doing a search. No harm, really.

LAX 17 Sep 2007, 17:19

tinyeyes and minux16 you aren't alone!

MinuX16 17 Sep 2007, 09:10

I fully agree with with Tinyeyes, checking out other people's glasses is a guilty pleasure... but surely a harmaless one! I don't think sneeking in the bathroom just the way he did it it's a bad thing. It just happened and that's all. I remember doing the very same thing at my uncle's during a sleep over his place when I was younger (by that time I didn't know why he and Peter, his BF at that time, would be living together and why they were so close) and when I entered the bathroom, I saw 2 pairs of glasses next to a bottle of CL's cleaning solution. I took one pair and tried them.... they were too weak for me, maybe about a -3, but the others made a significant change, maybe a -8 (considering I was a -7 at 15). I was kinda aroused, and nervous, so I finished my duties and got off. Later on I saw my uncle coming out of the bathroom wearing the thick glasses! then I understood the other pair were Peter's. I liked the way they both looked in glasses (an together actually) So sad they splitted up...

tinyeyes 15 Sep 2007, 08:32

Checking out people's glasses is a guilty pleasure. I don't get the opportunity that often, but I'm sure I'll do it again! You ask how did the glasses look on me? Actually, I was in a hurry for obvious reasons, so I spent more time checking out the vision with them than looking at myself in the mirror. And since I only popped out my right contact when I tried them on, the left eye had about -17 diopters of correction and was very blurry!

There is another friend/date, hunky gay guy who is around a -6 or so, but I've only seen him in glasses a couple of times. He invited me to spend the night and cuddle sometime. In that case I'm sure I'll get to see him in his glasses and try them out (and he'll see mine too.) If it happens I'll report back.

I love hearing these bathroom/hidden glasses stories, so please share more!

Krieger 14 Sep 2007, 14:13

Welcome MinuX16, glad you joined us, hope you can also join the guys with glasses groups... maybe you will find something interesting there.

Cheers!

guest 14 Sep 2007, 13:00

Tiny Eyes, I'm jealous. Please visit more people and report your glasses finds. In my opinion no harm was done. Then again, I am guilty of doing the same thing every chance I get. The best pair of glasses I ever found had a big difference between lenses. I'd say -7 and -10. By the way, how did the glasses look on you?

MinuX16 14 Sep 2007, 09:37

Yeah, KC reffers to KeratoConus... I'm the one of those 1 male in 10,000 (according to stadistics) with this contidion... I was detected when I was 18, fortunately, I've been wearing my RGP CL's since I was 15... they do give me 20/15 clear crisp vision... although in glasses I'm corrected only to a 20/60 ... I guess you can't have it all in life... anyway, I like wearing thick glasses and spotting guys in them as well...

Katy 14 Sep 2007, 09:02

myopeinhere 14 Sep 2007, 08:29

I'm terrible,my friend,who's always in her contacts with a pair of glasses hidden away somewhere invited me round for dinner,

So went to the bathroom for a genuine reason and there on the shelf were the most impressive glasses I've ever seen!

Must have been early 90's frames,big round metal with normal cr39's in them,the lenses stuck out about an inch and had the edges cut out so the arms could fold flat,well tried them on,and wow!

Never saw them after that,but she's now a full time gwg sporting a lovely -10 in very nice frames,but every time I see her I think of tose old glasses

MinuX16 14 Sep 2007, 07:29

Hi everyone!! I'd like to introduce myself, I'm a 25 yo GWG and just like most of the guys in here I do wear glasses, due to a KC that puts me in the -16 range. I wear my RGP CL's most of the, and recently I've had done some backup eyeglasses in order to give my eyes a little rest every night... I'm very attracted to guys wearing glasses, and well, I'd like to take the opportunity to exchange thought and experiences with you guys in here.

anyone feel free to contact me...

Phil 14 Sep 2007, 01:24

Yes, we all do it! My wife always asks why I'm so long in the bathroom at home of a friend of hers whom we sometimes visit for lunch! And years ago I only discovered just how myopic the wife of a friend was when I tried on her old brown NHS-style frames which she kept in the bathroom. Lovely power rings! In those days she wore contacts. Now she's a consultant psychiatrist and a fulltime gwg with very high index progressives; and she looks just gorgeous.

Katy 14 Sep 2007, 00:43

tinyeyes - yes! If there are a pair of (minus) glasses left in a bathroom, I have to try them on, I can't help it. I went to stay with a friend a few months ago, whose boyfriend has got some great black plastic frames with lenses that looked quite strong to me. I was dying to know his rx, especially as he had tried my boyfriend's -6s on and said he could see quite well (there was my opportunity to ask, I know!). In the bathroom at their house, I had to have a look, and found the box of contacts: -4! Not sure why they look so strong, maybe the wide frames. I did feel guilty, but pleased he hadn't beaten my bf for minus power :-)

tinyeyes 13 Sep 2007, 23:20

I did something tonight that I really shouldn't do, but couldn't resist.

I went to visit a former co-worker I hadn't seen in a while, and I already knew that his boyfriend (who is very attractive, tall, slim and muscular) is very nearsighted. When I got there, the boyfriend was there, looking good as I remembered, and wearing contacts (I saw him once in his glasses a few years ago and he looked great.) After a few minutes, I excused myself to go to the bathroom. Here's the bad part: I did a little snooping. As I had hoped, his eyeglasses case was on the bathroom counter. Of course, I couldn't resist opening up the case. Inside was a pair of silver frame oval glasses with high-index lenses, which of course, I couldn't resist trying on. They were quite strong, and I popped out one of my own contacts to get a view. I could see pretty well; they seemed almost as strong as my own (I'm -9). Even better, on the shelf were some boxes of AcuVue disposable contacts with the prescription printed on them: -8 in one eye and -8.5 in the other. Nice!

A guilty pleasure, but hopefully no harm done. Has anyone else every done this sort of thing?

sam12744 12 Sep 2007, 03:47

Nice little sighting yesterday in Boots the Chemists.Tall lad of about 19,not specially good looking with a mop of dark brown hair.Wearing some strong minus glasses.Current fashion of rectangular black plastic,with wide black arms,which branched into two white metal sections for the last 3/4 inch to the hinges.The lenses were clearly very high index material and yet still quite thick,with much minification and serious cut-in.I would estimate a minus script in the mid-teens.The frames suited him well and,given the strength and thickness of the lenses,were a sensible choice.

Julian 05 Sep 2007, 00:08

So, Jay, how old are you if your father dictates what kind of frames you can have? Presumably you've inherited your myopia from him if he thinks about lens thickness? (Mind you, when I was 18 my mother insisted on basic NHS plastic, but that was because she was paying.)

Fritz 04 Sep 2007, 22:03

Jay:

"We"? Do you have a twin or kid brother? My advice to you is to get the hottest frames and the highest indext lens material. Even if they're somewhat thick, so what. Make a statement and don't worry if your lenses look strong. After all, they are and clearly that hunk wasn't too bothered by his obviously strong specs to try and minimize their strength through subterfuge. Let us know how your next eye exam goes.

Jay 04 Sep 2007, 16:40

Don't mind the questions Julian. They are some kind of plastic as far as I could tell from just having a quick look and feel. Although the lenses were very strong the whole frame didn't feel too heavy on my face. I wanted to get spex like these but my father insisted that we have these small metal frames because they would keep down the thickness of the lenses. Just recently he has relented and let us choose our own so I'm having new glasses soon and hope that Ican get something like these sexy Asians have!

Julian 04 Sep 2007, 09:13

Jay: sorry, another question! You say your delicious hunk's glasses were 'big, round and black' - what were they (the frames I mean) made of? And, while we're on the subject, what kind of frames do you wear yourself?

Jay 04 Sep 2007, 06:46

Julian.

Thanks. Yes, I am nearighted and wear strong lenses of -9 so it was fairly obvious to him that I was "blind as a bat."

Julian 02 Sep 2007, 05:18

Jay, if you said you're blind I didn't notice. I only asked because he was hardly going to start comparing notes with somebody who didn't have a substantial show of power rings - as I guess with your Rx you must. I mean, I wear glasses, but I'm not in your league (low plus).

Jay 01 Sep 2007, 16:42

Fritz and Julian

Thanks for the feedback. It was a real turn on for me to talk with him about out mutual bad eyesight problems but I'm nowhere like as nearsighted. He was around -14 (and his glasses were way too strong for me to see properly) and I'm -9.50L and -8.25R at my last check but I have to have another test and expect that to change. I know I said I was blind and realise that some people are worse than me but over a certain Rx without correction I just can't see much. I expect it's a relative term.

Jay.

Pretty hot sighting and a chance to chat as well. Lucky you. I have always liked hunky construction worker types with thick glasses. Seems so incongruous. I recently checked out a really hot Latino guy who was working with a construction gang and probably wearing -10s. Am sure that none of his other workmates had even a clue just how blind their co-worker was without correction.

Jay 28 Aug 2007, 13:37

Just spent the bank holiday with my aunt in Cambridge. She has builders doing work but this morning when I came down to breakfast, what a sight! A hunk about my own age was hard at work pushing a barrowload of sand but it was his glasses which captivated me. They were big, round and black with amazingly thick lenses - he'd be blind without them. At their tea break I asked to give them the tea and got to speak to him. He saw I was wearing spex too and said what a drag it was being so bind and so I said, How blind are you then? He let me have his glasses and wow! I couldn't focus at all. He said his rx is -14 and with lots of astigmatism so we compared spex for a while. I told him I didn't mind wearing glasses at all now and he just laughed and asked if it didn't turn off girls. Not a problem in my case I said. He got the message.

Yeah true, I just tried to ask him a photo of him wearing them to understand how they look...but I don't know if he will accept to send it. Anyway, I was once in Italy and lots of guys like to wear glasses there, usually as a fashion/ design accessory... that's probably the reason why this guy is really ok about his high rx!

tinyeyes 08 Aug 2007, 20:43

Yeah, the guy selling the glasses seems very nonchalant about them. -12 is a very strong RX, but he acts like it's no big deal and even mentions that you might be "lucky" and have his same RX. I'll say! To me, -12 is about the ideal RX.

Craig 08 Aug 2007, 09:00

To tinyeyes:

yeah the cool thing is that it seems that he is not into fetish part but they are one of his actual glasses... i wonder how are the others...... :)

Chris 15 Jul 2007, 12:42

In a nearby resturant yesterday I was the first customer and was served by a good-looking young guy with very long, wavy hair aged about 17 or 18, I guess a student doing a holiday job. He was explaining what was on offer and then said "And the specials are on the board over there" pointing at the opposite wall. With my poor sight I asked him to read them to me and to my suprise he blushed and from his inside jacket pocket produced a pair of rimless specs - and he turned out to be nearly as myopic as me. He had to squint a bit to read everything and so at my suggestion kept on his glasses for the rest of the time I was there. Since they weren't busy I managed to have some conversation (about eyes and specs of course!) and complemented him on his glasses which really did suit him. He told me that he'd had the same RX for two years now but accepted my suggestion that he get a test ASAP. Altogether a nice young man and a nice evening for me.

Fritz 15 Jul 2007, 09:55

Yesterday Ithink I saw the thickest myopic glasses ever on a modestly good-looking white guy about 28/29. The lenses were in a frame a bit too large for the prescription, but it probably wouldn't have made all that much differenc if it had been a bit smaller in diameter. The lenses were biconcave, had been beveled and an estimated three-quarter inches thick on the edges. (I'm also including the bit that also stuck out from the front of the frame.) They were certainly high-index and probably -25/-27 judging by the thickness,the enormous amount of cut-in and masses of power rings. His eyes were actually hard to see clearly, and I doubt that he had anything approaching 20/20 juding by the way he held his iPod to his face to see it. I think he was also squinting to see if the bus was coming, although it was hard to tell because his eyes were so distant behind the lenses. You'd have thought he would have had myodiscs at that stage which would have been far less noticeable and probably provided less distortion.

Again, not a major cutie but some appeal.

Last night in a restaurant, a very good-looking Italian-type (about 55)beautifully dressed with a gorgeous Cartier watch walked in with rather plain wire-rimmed glasses about -7. Looking around the well-lit bar for his companion (clearly gay) I noticed that he was squinting slightly trying to see across the room. A moment later, out came a new pair of very cool rectangular glasses, plano-fronted and at least another diopter stronger. End of squinting!! but he had to move them down his nose a bit to read the bar menu.

Wayching Wimbledon, I've noticed one of the young players, Janko Tipsarevic wears Oakley glasses, more often than not. Here's a link:

http://cornedbeefhash.wordpress.com/tag/janko-tipsarevic/

(just scroll down for the glasses pics - there are also loads more if you just type his name into Google Image).

Anyone able to estimate an Rx? It's very difficult, if not impossible with this Oakley type frames, but in any event, am sure it's nothing too substantial but obviously enough to help his game.

I watched some of his other videos where you can see more of his glasses. I would guess around -7 or -8. He wears contacts in some of his videos, too. The rimless frames he wears make the glasses look even more powerful than they are. Thanks for posting that video!

Went to a party tonight, for a friend's birthday, and had a very nice, extended sighting of his cousin (who was a straight guy) .... very good looking, hunky, tall Asian guy, in his early 20s, with really nice black rim glasses with around -8 power. They had edges thick enough to stick out well past the plastic frames, and great power rings and cut in. It was really nice to see this handsome guy confidently wearing his strong prescription. (By the way, my friend with birthday is also around a -7 or -8 I think, but I've never seen him in glasses because he always wears contacts.)

not so new guest 17 May 2007, 20:43

Euestace suggested that I cross post this one from the nearsightings thread:

funny you should mention the bare eyed and barefoot thing. A couple of years ago I went to a mall early one morning to see what shops were still in business there. It was still early enough for none of the stores to be open, so it was mostly senior citizens there getting their morning walk in. Anyway, what stood out was this one guy. He was in his early 20's, he was barefoot, just jeans and a t shirt but was wearing some of the thickest glasses I had ever seen. He had to be every bit of a -20.00 myope. I got to thinking about how screwed he would be if he lost or broke his glasses, but imagine how much more helpless he would be if it happened when he was barefoot. Trying to grope around a strange environment when your barefoot would be pretty hard if you couldn't see the ground or what you were stepping on.

That was what I thought. In every other picture Ricardo wears shades which might or might not be corrective; that's the only one with clear lenses and a definite Rx.

How did you like Daniel? I've looked again and in several of his galleries there's an odd one with his glasses on.

Well, Bukbuddies didn't reply to my feedback asking for more models in glasses; BUT this week's collection includes one page with shots of Daniel either wearing his glasses or holding them in his hand. He might be more to some people's taste than Jude was - he certainly is to mine: http://www.bukbuddies.com/bukbuddies/daniel/catalog6/VOL1607_001.html. I also found some other spexy shots of him: http://www.bukbuddies.com/bukbuddies/daniel/myfirsttime_001.html and even one solitary one from only six months ago: http://www.bukbuddies.com/bukbuddies/daniel/catalog5/VOL4106_10_05_06_001.html. Low minus Rx I thnk.

Clare 18 Apr 2007, 12:38

Phil - now, do you mean you *always* wear these -4s in the dark, or that you *only* wear them in the dark? Symantics I know, the beauty of the English language ...

But come on, I'm no adviser on spectacle wear, it's taken me 15 years to find the first pair that I actually like!! Good luck.

OttO 18 Apr 2007, 09:42

Interesting observation ehpc. As a middle-ager with trifocals I can identify with that. I automatically adjust my distance to the reading material. What I really notice, however, is that when I'm in a book shop, grocery store, museum, etc, first I'll zero in on something with my intermediate or distance lenses, and then I find myself backing off or moving in closer to focus on what I'm looking at. Something I never had to do when I was younger. As far as I can figure, it must mean that my accomodation is about down to zilch! Fortunately, I don't think about it much. I just do it.

ehpc 18 Apr 2007, 05:25

Share prices are difficult in The Daily Telegraph too...............but what really foxes middle-aged eyesight, in my experience, is MAPS, which I obviously use a lot travelling around doing concerts and recordings.Maps really are designed to fox middle-aged eyesight as much as possible - if you can read the letters that say ENGLAND you can't read the letters that say Nether Wallop or whatever, and the other way round. The road numbers e.g. B7031 are another size again....etc etc etc..........it is a business of permanently bringing the map nearer one's face and then putting it further away......and then nearer..............etc etc etc......And then you get to the city, take out the A to Z, and the whole process starts all over again...........................

Phil 18 Apr 2007, 03:28

Not yet Clare. I've been rather busy at work.

The cheapo -4s now give me exactly the same correction as my -3.75 varifocals. And I've taken to wearing them in the dark!! So I don't think I'm in need of much of an increase in my minus rx this time.

But I'll be pressing for an increased add. I test the reading portion on the fractions in the share prices in the Standard! And an extra .25 or .5 makes all the difference. That's a good test for anyone who may think presbyopia's setting in! Try reading those tiny figures with the minus specs on. If you can't focus it's add time!!

Any ideas on frames? Wouldn't it be a hoot if you could come along as my adviser?

Phil 17 Apr 2007, 10:24

Fran,

You can buy minus specs by post, using a cheque, from Glassesdirect.co.uk. They are excellent, cheap and fast. I have four pairs from them: two pairs of lined bifocals, one executive style, one rounded; a pair made up to my reading rx (as assessed by me not some "mean" optician"; and a pair of single vision with just a little more minus. All ace!

Fran 17 Apr 2007, 10:17

I can't order online as I have no credit card

tinyeyes 16 Apr 2007, 22:11

Just to give my opinion, I like both Jude from Bukbuddies AND Matt Hale. Both are cute and spexy!

aviator -oo- 16 Apr 2007, 15:08

Fran: don't give up, it's not so complicated! In some countries (China, for example) you can buy ready made up glasses with minus values of between -1 and -6, in just the same way that you can buy reading glasses. OK, so if you're not visiting that part of the world it will be a bit more involved, but not too much. Regarding contact lenses, you could always start by asking your optician for some non-prescription cosmetic lenses, simply to change the colour of your eyes (for fun). That way you will get measured for them (actually, there are only a few different sizes) and get shown how to put them in. After that, you could order some prescription lenses on-line (lots of people on this site have discussed this in the COG thread). Forging a precsription is really very easy, I could e-mail you such a thing I and when you are ready. Have you ever been able to wear someone else's glasses for a reasonable period of time? If you do not need glasses, that could give you a feeling for what power of lens your eyes are able to 'accommodate'.

Fran 16 Apr 2007, 09:25

I'm from Ireland. I don't get the whole forge thing. And how would I get a pair of contacts? My only hope is to fail the test.

sam12744 16 Apr 2007, 01:47

aviator -oo- 15 Apr 2007, 16:08

Fran: my advice would depend on which country you are living in. In the first place however, I would suggest playing it straight in the eye exam - if you are not prescibed glasses, I would then think about forging a prescription and going to another optician saying that you needed to order a spare pair or something. I can provide further advice on how to forge a prescription if you need me to: a as a graphic designer, I have forged several using my DTP software. Also, you might like to think about what level of script you would like to have. If you want medium to high powered lenses (say over -3), then a contact lenses / glasses combination would be advisable, however if lower powered lenses appeal as a way of starting, then you could just go for a -1 to -2 script which you should be able to handle without compensation from contact lenses. Let me know if I can help some more.

Fran 15 Apr 2007, 15:39

Hi,

I'm going for an eyetest this week and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how i could become myopic. I don't wear glasses but i wish i did, any ideas would be great.

Julian 14 Apr 2007, 16:15

Bukbuddies again: in the (very explicit) 'Horny Houndogs' section there are two video clips featuring a spexy model called Chad who doesn't seem to figure in the still photos section. Might be more to some folks' taste than Jude.

sam12744 11 Apr 2007, 09:51

Julian,

Nice to see any model with glasses,but oh,that hair!

Julian 11 Apr 2007, 07:34

Mark One: it's always nice to see a post from you and know you're still around ... yes, I know what you mean about Jude. My point was that for the first time in - how long? - there was a new spexy model on Bukbuddies rather than what he actually looked like, and I sent feedback asking for more shots of Darrel, Dylan and other guys like them in their glasses. Maybe some more of us could follow suit?

Mark One 10 Apr 2007, 23:59

Julian, I got very excited when I saw your post and immediately clicked over. Sadly, Jude doesn't do anything for me. Closed that window as fast as if he'd been female. ;)

Julian 10 Apr 2007, 23:13

Ye-e-es. My real favourites are Dylan and Darrel. They both wore glasses in some of their older galleries, but they're also cute, cute CUTE!

Brian-16 10 Apr 2007, 18:44

Julian-One of the models (Bobby-no specs) looks like he would be a fun guy!

Julian 10 Apr 2007, 10:31

Hey, I've had my first proper browse for ages on Bukbuddies, and found a new model, Jude, who appeared last month and WEARS GLASSES! Not the loveliest ever IMHO, but it's the first set of spexy pics in years: gold wire, low minus; decent figure, decent legs; well-endowed. Anyhow, check him out for yourselves: http://www.bukbuddies.com/bukbuddies/jude/jude.html

Fritz, thanks for telling about the high-minus sightings. They are rare, and great! It's interesting how very high minus Rx's seem to cause the person to need to hold things close to see, even when corrected with glasses. Maybe it's because there is so much minification with an Rx in the high teens.

Fritz 26 Mar 2007, 12:41

Tinyeyes -- -18 is great and so rare. I think I saw a -16/-18 recently in the local USPO. Older guy around 50 who probably was once pretty good-looking in a clean-cut way but somewhat gone to seed. I'd noticed him before with his very thick glasses not only because the lenses were so strong but he also held paperwork quite close to his eyes. He just got new glasses with much smaller frames and clearly stronger lenses since they're just as thick as the old ones and, I believe, slightly biconcave. Still holds things pretty close to his face. Also saw a guy in the market also around 50 who had really small oval glasses with the left lens at approx. -15 and the right at least a -18. Kind of sexy in a conventional way and rather friendly. Shame they opened up another checkout and offered the first place in it to me. Normally a good thing but not this time.

tinyeyes 25 Mar 2007, 14:40

-18D? Wow, that's so amazing! I am just beginning to plan a trip to Asia. I wonder if there are really as many high myopes as I hear. -18D is hard to contemplate. How did the guy look in his glasses? How thick were they? Did you ask him if he ever tried contacts?

I like your idea about spotting glasses guys... but that would only work for guys who work in public places. Most of the guys I see are working out at the gym, shopping, at restaurants, etc., at random times. It's a great idea though!

jo 25 Mar 2007, 02:41

Any one who happens to be in Singapore should check out this guy who's working at the HOMEFIX store (note there are 2 HOMEFIXES. This guy is in the one that's selling mainly drills and heavier duty equipments) in the Alexandra IKEA building. Chatted with him and he mentioned his glasses are about -18D sphere with 5D of cylinder. Thick black frames and even thicker lenses. Not very tall, but still decent looking. Early twenties.

Just wondering, maybe we should have a thread to post about specific places where we can spot cute guys in thick glasses. So anyone who happens to be in that country could make a trip down to spot the cutie and perhaps even make it a part of the travel itinerary for OOs like us.... just a thot.

tinyeyes 23 Mar 2007, 07:15

Your sighting sounds great. I have seen high minus guys with rimless frames before too, and I always wonder how they got them. In my experience they always tell me rimless would be impossible (at -9).

I seem to have so few exciting sightings--and it's not for lack of being on the lookout. But, this past Saturday at a Russian Easter Bazaar, I spotted a good-looking young man--somewhere in his 20', short blond hair, fairly husky built, maybe 6' or close to it, with beautiful completely rimless glasses with high minus lenses. I would guess at least -10 and probably closer to -15. There were lots of power rings and sparkling reflection of the lights in the room, and the edges of the lenses were neatly and smoothly beveled. And his eyes were somewhat minified. Unfortunately, I was with my partner and not in a comfortable position to speak to him, but I do hope to run into him again one day soon. A real turn on!

Eustace 21 Mar 2007, 16:24

The surevey posted on Guys in Glasses is intriguing. I haven't taken or even looked very closely at this survey. Has anyone responded to it? If not, why not?
