Wearing spectacles at Glastonbury.....

[Gnomicide]

I only need glasses for seeing.

I also have prescription sun glasses so end up taking both. I don't think I've ever got close to losing them at a festival but they can be a pain if it's raining.

I tend to carry one pair in a hard case and swap between them as and when but if I was in a particularly frenzied crowd (unlikely but you never know) I can fit them both in the case.

I've just got contacts and there ace especially the Daisy's think ill drie in my glasses and take a few pairs of dailies still not sure about putting in taking out late at night though

Bring them in a hard case and only wear them when watching a headliner or taking in the view from the stone circle maybe?

I was usually fine at festivals with my glasses except for my first Glastonbury. I went with my best friend and the two of us were blind as bats without our glasses. Somehow I managed to lose mine on the way and my friend stood on hers. Luckily the lenses didn't smash just fell out of the frames. So we had one lens each until my friend dropped her's in the mud. After that we were going around like the blind witches from Clash of the Titan's fighting over who got to use the lens!

Since then I graduated onto contact lenses and last year got laser surgery so I'm looking forward to my first glasses and contact lens free Glastonbury

I'm taking mine for the first year this year (I'm around -2 in each eye). Coped during the day for a while but as others have said, my vision is absolutely terd in the dark. Shangri La can be scary enough at times.

I hope I work up the courage to have laser eye surgery one day. Doubt I will though.

Without my specs I wouldn't know a long drop from a lorry

I can honestly say I've never had a problem wearing them at festivals apart from in the rain, when a pair of windscreen wipers could be handy. Do take a hard case (one for your day specs and one for your sunnies) just in case they get squished in the tent or in your bag.

The only problem I've had wearing glasses at the festival is when it pours with rain - really pours, and my glasses just get wet and I can't see a thing. So I'm afraid I'm one of those annoying people who have an umbrella on those occasions. Of course we won't have that problem this year.

I wear contacts now, but on days where I can't be bothered to put them in I revert to the glasses. Wear them if you need them, it's not an unusual affliction to need them. If they are such a new thing for you though then might be an idea to leave them off when under the influence as you won't yet have trained your addled head to take them off and keep them safe.

Depends how blind you are though.

Girls dont make passes at boys who wear glasses.
