More people are reclaiming their prescription glasses as more of us turn our backs on invasive surgery.
Our culture seems obsessed with perfecting our imperfections. Every day there seems to be a new story on celebrity plastic surgery. And it seems in the drive to become perfect many men and women turn out looking less than human, from Michael Jackson to Jordan. And of course with surgery comes risks – the story of a former Miss World dying after having surgery on her buttocks shows how risky vanity can be. But what has all this to do with prescription glasses?
Prescription Glasses: The Safe Choice
When it comes to poor eyesight, prescription glasses are a physical manifestation of what some see as a genetic imperfection. What’s more, for some people worried about their looks, prescription glasses can be seen to be unsightly or even ugly. But with all surgery there is danger and although laser surgery can help many people to live a life without glasses, some end up with worse eyesight than before.
Reclaim Your Glasses
Just as there is a trend towards slow cooking, old fashioned values and recycling during the credit crunch, fashion lovers have reclaimed prescription glasses. In a world where everyone is busy trying to perfect themselves prescription glasses have emerged as an unlikely symbol of uniqueness and individuality. Wearing glasses has always been a powerful statement epitomized by John Lennon’s round glasses that came to symbolise the peace movement. Wearing prescription glasses isn’t just about being able to see clearly – glasses can be a fashionable statement, a political statement or an expression of individuality.
Prescription Glasses: An Iconic Statement
For those who find contact lenses infuriating and simply don’t want the risk or invasiveness of laser surgery or are too squeamish about their eyes, embracing their prescription glasses is the way forward. And with the fashionable frames and designer edge prescription glasses now offer, more people would prefer to wear their glasses over contacts or laser treatment. With high profile role models whose identity is wrapped up with their glasses – from John Lennon to Johnny Depp, Ghandi to Harry Potter, Elton John to Woody Allen – it’s not surprising that prescription glasses are still a strong style statement in a world of laser surgery.
