Medical Forum / General / Vision / August 2007I need comfortable eyewear
I hate my eyeglasses. I work in a hospital environment where I routinely perform invasive procedures. I treat many patients with HIV and Hep C. My glasses often slides down my face and the lenses frequently fogs up and gets clouded by particles whenever aerosols are involved during patient treatment. Often, with my blood-ridden gloves, I often touch my glasses during the procedures And aside from work, I find it difficult to clean my lenses and fingerprints get onto them very easily. I also play games from time to time and nothing gets so annoying as having to take a break from the game just so I can clean and re-position my glasses. I've really had it with my glasses, and I would appreciate any suggestions on what frames/lenses are best suited for a person like myself. I don't care much for style as long as the eyewear is safe and isn't strange looking and I'm willing to pay a premium for something comfortable.

I wear Silhouette's Titan Minimal Art frame with Trivex (lens material) lenses. They're the most comfortable glasses I've worn (I started wearing glasses when I was about age 9, I'm age 55 now). If you choose this frame, opt for the one without hinges for the highest degree of comfort.

While I can't recall (and the invoice doesn't detail) which model I got, I have the no-hinge breed with "wavefront" lenses in a PAL. They most definitely ARE great glasses -- quite stylish, featherweight, easy to clean, seemingly scratch-proof, and nearly forgettable on my face. Good luck! > >I hate my eyeglasses. > > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Hope this helps That was a very kind and helpful post. However, aren't there other solutions? My parents made me wear wraparound earpieces. I didn't like them, but there was no concept of slipping down or falling off. Aren't there also straps that go around the back of the head? There are all sorts of options, like getting your glasses adjusted for example. It is amazing how often people complain about bad glasses when all they need is some straightening or temple adjustment. dr grant > There are all sorts of options, like getting your glasses adjusted for > example.
