I wear glasses and i only have one pair – rimless. So whether I am dressed or not, I just wear those. However, I’ve been thinking about getting a second pair for when I am dressed. So I am curious if any you ladies use the same glasses when you dress or do you have a pair just for when you enfemme? or do you possible have uni-sex glasses?
And if you do have a pair for when you are dressed, did you buy them online? I’ve looked at a lot of online sites that sell glasses and they seem resemble priced. Just curious if any one has any experience with any of those sites.

I wear my glasses all the time, and the ones I have are from the men’s section, but I think they work well enough. Having said that, as long as my prescription didn’t change this year I’m going to get at least one pair of femme glasses, and maybe sunglasses also. I wear bifocals so getting them on line is an issue due to measuring correctly for the lower lense, so I’m just going to get them where I normally do. I figure they will just be happy to sell more glasses.

Jennifer without my glasses I can watch flies at 100 yards crocheting but I can’t see my nose. I have 1 pair of guy glasses and 2 pair of girl glasses. My first pair was through a Walmart optics shop and my second through my optometrist. They looked at me a little funny when I picked my frames but said they looked nice and did what I wanted. Good luck finding what your looking for.
🍷C I wear glasses and a few months ago had my eyes examined. There was little change in my presciption and the associates at the discount store were I go assumed I would not get new glasses. I told them I wanted their deal, 2nd pair half price. So I got my usual guys wire rims and nice pair of blue plastic rims that I thought looked very feminine. The cost was less than $200, including my transition lenses.
. . SandyI only wear reading glasses, but I need them when shopping. I have worn my guy glasses, but I picked up a pair of +1.50 women’s reading glasses at Walmart for under $20, and they work for me.
Don’t wear glasses but last time had eye exam asked my DR if could get a pair of contact designers a different color. So instead of natural brown eyes now can be green eye girl.
I do wear glasses and basically need them to read, (if my arms were 4 inches longer i would be ok, LOL). I went to Dollar General and bought the lowest magnification reading glasses in a color that i loved. Nothing great but they look feminine and I can still see up close.
Hope this helps

MichelleI’m in the same boat, I guess my glasses are unisex enough but I prefer the look without them. Some of the girls have great sunglasses to, looking at you Grace! I need some.

Thanks Abbie…..xx
Hi Jennifer….
I do wear glasses for reading but….
all my female eyewear is non prescription… I adore all my glasses, they add to my look and just boost my confidence……. and they are really my trademark. Grace does not go anywhere without them……
I don’t really care if they are “over the top” or what people think…..after all, I choose them, it’s what I think that counts and I love them…..
Spec- tacularly yours, grace xx
I’ve been very short sighted all my life. How do you do eye make up when you can’t see without glasses!? Would it matter anyway? When I developed cataracts a few years ago, despite my phobia of things near my eyes, it was a case of get artificial lens implants or give up driving. So I bit the bullet. Wow, I could see trees’ leaves rustling, not just hear them!
Not quite perfect at close range, depending on light and environment, so I have a half dozen cheapo frames with reading lens dotted around the house, and in the car for when I go shopping, and yes, I do find the “women” frames more colourful and attractive to me.
Cheapo is what cheapo is, but bear in mind opticians have had massive price mark ups for years. You don’t have to pay a fortune anymore for a single decent pair, just spend the fortune on a selection!

I have been ‘blessed’ with glasses since 4th grade. It really crushed me when my mom insisted on picking my frames for me. I had been dressing a little by then, and the ones she picked were definitely NOT near what a girl would wear at all, more like Clark Kent.
She finally let me choose when I was 12, and I picked round frames, like Janis Joplin wore, but could still pass for boy glasses too. Since then, all of my later frames were round or as near that as I could find.

I normally wear bifocals on frames my wife picks out for me. However they are too masculine. I found that glasses can substantially change my look. I started out with reading glasses but found I could not see very well in all cases. Two years ago after getting a new set of drab glasses I got a copy of the prescription and ordered a set online. It is night and day for my look and it is nice for Diana to see again.
I have to wear glasses full time – I have horrible vision and usually wear full progressives now.
I bought two specific pairs of femme glasses with my prescription lenses from an online store (EyeBuyDirect). One pair has clear lenses and a pretty floral print frame (they are the ones I’m wearing in my posted pics), and I think I paid just over $120 or so for those with progressive, hi-index lenses. I also have a pair of prescription sunglasses from the same place that are advertised as ‘unisex’ but which I think are definitely more on the femme side and with the same progressive prescription lenses, tinted and polarized, I think those were around $230.
I confess that even if I didn’t actually need them to see, I think I would personally be wearing glasses when dressed because the frames do me a great service in hiding the dark circles/bags under my eyes – which are getting worse with each passing year! Thank goodness for glasses, and, nuclear strength concealer!

I have to wear glasses as I am blind as a bat.
For the longest time, I would wear my male glasses all the time, dressed or not. When I look in the mirror, even fully dressed, something seemed off and it was the glasses. Like you, both my male glasses are rimless, so even despite the clothes, wigs, makeup, the glasses made me look more drab.
I finally bought a pair of girl glasses online. The first pair was a bust, as the frames did not have any nose bridge support so while the frames looked very good, it did not fit well. The 2nd pair I bought I made sure the frames had nose support, and I wear them when I transform into Wendy. It is a nice blue girl frame, so now when I look in the mirror fully transformed, I do see a girl looking back. It was buying the girl glasses that pushed me over, and I wished I bought a pair of girl glasses earlier.
I bought them online, I saved my prescriptions and used that to buy the glasses. It was really inexpensive and free shipping. I had to adjust the ear piece and nose bridge, but finally got them set right so now with those glasses it looks way better. I made sure I only bought girl frames, not unisex.
I have a rimless pair, which I use in both male & female modes.
As to where to purchase eye glasses, I recommend Zenni Optical for on line purchases and Walmart Optical for in person purchases. I have used both for many years and highly recommend both. It just depends whether you want in person personalized service or you want to save money and buy on line.
