I wear my glasses to bed, while sleeping. Avoids this issue entirely. Highly recommend. It's not uncomfortable and they don't fall off.
I also wear them during sports (including gymnastics when I was younger) & during sex. It's not really that big of a deal if you are really used to wearing them. I've been wearing glasses since before I could talk.
I'm guessing a lot of people just don't get used to them.
- Obscurity4340 2y agoHow? Can't you only really sleep on your back that way?
- astura 2y agoNo, I sleep on my stomach. How? Um, just lay down without taking them off? Idk what else to say?
- invalidator 2y agoAre you far-sighted?
- astura 2y agoYes. far-sighted with astigmatism.
- invalidator 2y agoIn my experience, farsighted people tend to be very casual with their glasses, whereas us nearsighted folks protect them carefully. My theory is that being nearsighted, I can see my glasses - every smudge or speck of dirt is immediately visible to me because it's not too far from my focal distance. For farsighted people, the glasses on their face are so far out of focus that those things simply disappear. If I lay down with my glasses and they rub against my face or the pillow, I know they're going to get smudged and I'll suffer eyestrain until I find a lens cloth and carefully clean them. Any nick in the lens will drive me crazy until I can get it replaced. As such, I am very protective of them - any time I lay down I'm fold them closed and lay them face-up on the headboard so they won't need more than quickly brushing off a few specks of dust. I also buy very thin, light frames because I can see them pretty clearly in my peripheral vision. The people I've known who are farsighted (including my husband), are oblivious to anything on the glass. He'll just roll around in bed with them, and maybe once a week ask me to clean them for him. We have to get him heavier frames because the lightweight ones would be a mangled mess in a month. So yeah, I'm guessing you have the latter experience... Sturdy frames and you aren't too bothered by some smudges when you get up.
- hollerith 2y agoSome eyeglass frames are very flexible. Are yours?
- astura 2y agoNo, they are just normal glasses? I've had dozens of pairs over the years both metal and acetate. I'm currently wearing https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/eyeglasses/RX5169%20MALE%20rb5169%20optics-blue/8053672927849 https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/eyeglasses/RX5169%20MALE%20rb516...
- saghm 2y agoThe few times I've fallen asleep wearing glasses, they've pressed against my face in several places to the point where they're imprinted and sore, and the glasses have gotten slightly bent. I do tend to aggressively toss and turn when sleeping though, so this might not be a common issue.
- pasc1878 2y agoOr you turn over and break the arms of the glasses.

- newzisforsukas 2y ago> Highly recommend Dunno, that all sounds more like great ways to break eyeglasses.
