I paid for college working in the glasses business. Glasses are just not comfortable to wear all day. You can have them adjusted up the wazoo, but after a few hours, they're just annoying. Then the lenses are easily smudged. Or they're easy to bump. The reasons are long.

- akira2501 2y agoGlasses are fine to wear all day. People often select their eyewear based upon style. Which is fine, but to avoid the problems you're describing, you really should get several pairs then to avoid the fatigue those types of frames often produce. Meanwhile you just get a pair of glasses that are built for comfort but don't look particularly good and they'll sit on your face comfortably all day. I honestly don't even think about it. I tried but cannot remember the last time I have. Three or four times a year I end up laying down in bed, roll over, and realize I forgot to take my glasses off. Either I'm super odd or it's possible to get glasses and not have these problems.
- mauvehaus 2y agoSorry, what? I've been wearing glasses for three decades and the only time they feel uncomfortable is when I'm also wearing both over-ear hearing protection and over-glasses safety specs. I've resolved that by getting a pair of prescription safety specs. Oh yeah, and when the nosepads are brand new and sticky. Otherwise I've never had a problem. I'm at -3 or thereabouts with a cylindrical on both eyes, if that matters.
