I probably have one of the largest collections of prescription eyeglasses of anyone in the world. I am extremely near-sighted and have worn glasses or contacts most of my life, so they have become a major part of my self-concept and image. I also like it that glasses symbolizes that a person is smart, educated and well-read (which I am). A few days ago, i got contact lenses, but I have to get several new pairs of glasses anyway, because I can't see to read or at midrange. Of course I also had to get some stylish new sunglasses.
