fetish

I've always thought women with glasses were kind of cute, what with that being strongly linked to general nerdiness, but this is... wow. Diopter measurements given the same loving treatment usually reserved for cup size.

and I could have gone for new lenses in that frame, but the optician kept chattering on about how much better she would look in a smaller frame with hi index lenses, and polished edges. I usually defer to the optician's knowledge, as most of the time I have a prescription that I don't want challenged, but this time I could draw on my expertise. So, I told the optician that we wanted a small oval frame, either metal, or plastic, and a myodisc lens with a flat front base, and either a flat rear, or a slightly negative rear base. The area of vision should be 30mm or less, the lenses must be regular plastic, with an anti reflective coating, and no edge polishing, and if possible cut the center thickness to about 1 or 1.2mm. As I had expected, my instructions drew a stunned look from the optician. So, I explained that CR39, or regular plastic had the best abbe value, which meant crisper vision. I said that a 30mm field of vision would be about as large an area that she could see through without excessive distortion, and that this way there was no reason to make the lenses biconcave, with the resulting distortion that this causes. And, I explained that the flat rear base was needed with the front antireflective coating, because a positive base throws reflections from the side into the front of the lens. After she had digested all of that, I was prepared for an argument, but all she said was that the lenses would be pretty thick. I told her that they would be between 5/8" and 3/4" thick, and this is really the best way to go. She agreed, but not wanting to let it ride without any input, she asked me what I thought about blending the myodisc into the carrier part. I told her that that works on a larger circle, but we had already cut the visual field down as much as we could and still give her suitable vision.

This... is porn. It's not about the usual motions and parts and actions, but this is porn.

I love the human mind. It can eroticize anything.

Back when I was on a webcam portal I googeled my name and found a glasses fetish forum thread linking to the cam portal. They were apparently interested in glasses enough to figure out who had fake(non corrective?) lenses, that I was near sighted and understand lens prescription terms

Yeah. It's... kinda fascinating... to see people whose interest in glasses is strong enough that they can guess perscriptions from sight. Whose interest is so strong that they (judging from the content of some of these stories) wish their vision was worse.

I'm not sure if glasses fetish is more or less beautifully demented than long nose fetish. Probably less so.

That's... different.

Where are these people when I'm picking out my glasses?!

Well... they'd be telling you to go for the thicker, heavier, more awkward ones.

A few of these stories had a bit of a non-consensual D/s angle to them - characters who are just this side of being effectively blind without their glasses, and therefore... completely helpless and at the narrator's whim.

Which is true. I'm certainly not good for much without my glasses.
