Default Why do some housemates wear specs with clear glass?
Fashion glasses, OK, but they look stupid. That Marnie was wearing them too.

No optical lens, just clear glass.

Lotan and Rebecca have been wearing them too.

Daft.

how do you know it is not optical glass, did you measure its optical properties?

Could be they are contact lens wearers that wear glasses when they take their lenses out !

Because if you look through the glass to the outer edge of the face and it's a straight line, they're clear glass.

I wear glasses intermittently too.However they are prescribed optical lenses.Only for reading,telly,xbox,driving and General concentrating on things.Maybe these are the same?

If it is just clear glass then i'm in the dark tbh.Glasses don't exactly look cool.Unless its some kind of 'geek chique' type thing?
