Sometimes they look nerdy depending on the person but obviously it doesn't look nerdy on some but nerdy on the others. In some cases it looks good.

The media portrayed them that way.

 

[barbernator]

possibly dates back to the monocle days?

 

[kaz1]

you study so much your eyes go bad

duh

but in my case I think it was watching too much tv and going on the computer too much

Glasses aren't even bad, some people pull them off so well.

I hate glasses. After wearing them for five years lol.

I'm a danger to other people without them though.

I don't think they make me look nerdy. Never been called nerdy because of my glasses either.

As a matter of fact, I have been for a while. They just seem so... Annoying.

They do take a few weeks to get used to but u get the hang of it eventually tbh

Have have something called auto k. They're hard lenses which you wear at night, and you can see during the day without contacts or glasses

I wear both contacts and glasses (contacts when I'm playing soccer)

I got told to wear glasses since I was 7 because my right eye's short-sightedness was about 0.25 more than my left eye...

It's worse if you do well in school and you wear glasses..... sigh

11 years. And I'm 15. and I can't get contacts cos I'm long sighted.

Auto K - Don't they forcibly shape your eye so you can see for a day?

Not sure how that'd go with Astigmatism.

Ha, that may be the difference. I COULD have done well in school... I just didn't care and though most of my teachers were full of shit. Turns out they were .

Lol sucks to be you, I hated glasses.

Is there anything at all that will allow you to not wear glasses? (besides surgery). E.g some weird contact or something

Ortho-K? Yeah I use them too, much prefer them to glasses.

I only wear glasses when I am studying

I'm moderately short-sighted, but I only wear my glasses in class and watching tv. That's it.

I've been told that glasses make me look super smart (but not in a nerdy way). I think it comes down to whether you choose glasses that complement your face; when you don't, you look nerdy.

Never want to try contact lenses - I hate touching my eyes.
