Carmen Marc Valvo is giving away glasses to four lucky FOFs. The winners can choose any pair of optical or sunglasses from this season’s line. Enter to win by answering in the comments below: Do you have good eyesight?How has a 40-something male fashion designer become the go-to eyewear designer for FOF women? Just ask Carmen Marc Valvo. From the day he launched his line, in 1989, his designs have been a hit with FOFs, including Iman, Oprah, Jessica Lange and Kim Catrall. Perhaps it’s because Valvo got his start as a ready-to-wear designer for Nina Ricci, who started her wildly successful clothing line at age 49.
Carmen also knows what FOFs want, because he surrounds himself with them–Vanessa Williams is a long-time friend who he partnered with in 2008 on a public service campaign about the importance of colorectal cancer screenings (he was diagnosed with the disease in 2003). In 2005 he joined Katie Couric and the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance (NCCRA) for the Be Seen, Be Screened campaign.
Valvo launched his eyewear collection in 2007, with an emphasis on glasses that transition from day to evening. “I wear and work with the brand because it fits my lifestyle,” says FOF Renee Edelstein, Western Regional Sales Director for the company. “I can go from casual to formal and my eyewear works for both.”

Enter to win glasses from Carmen Marc Valvo by answering in the comments below: Do you have good eyesight?
Four FOFs will win. The winners can choose ANY pair of optical or sunglasses from this season’s line.

gailyn shepherd says:
Yes I do ! Need a little help with small print.
Sue says:
Do I have good eyesight? Not anymore. The good thing about that is- when I’m putting on my makeup I think I’m looking pretty-good. Now my hearing is not so good either but at least I can’t hear people saying that I don’t look “pretty good” so it’s a win-win situation for me. I’m a happy girl!
Shari says:
My eyesight has gotten progressively worse in the last two years – I’m farsighted – so it affects all the things I love to do – reading, using computer (also my work), making jewelry, counted cross-stitch, etc. I would love a stylish pair of glasses or sunglasses as I always just get what’s cheapest because of our financial situation. I truly would love a pair that would serve as both!!!
Nursesing says:
I am very near-sighted, and have worn glasses all my life..since 8th grade, anyway..I really hate my current glasses I’d love some help finding a new frame..the current ones I have are making me look like an old lady..older lady..much older!!
merrill plumlee says:
My eyesight is fairly good so I do not always wear my glasses unless driving or absolutely necessary to read small print- I would wear them more often if I had some cool frames, not the ones covered through my insurance!
yyoerger says:
Do I have good eye sight? Not by eye doctor standards, but my sight brings me rainbows, blazing autumn leaves, the dimpled smile of my best friend, my cat curled in a cozy ball with flickers from the fireplace on his tabby coat. Yes, I have perfect eye sight.
amcintron says:
The older I get the more I feel I need to depend on readers….Would be nice if they were fashionable!
amcintron says:
Not great eyesight. Looks like I have to depend more on reading glasses now….I’d like them to be fashionable if possible!
Carol says:
I had to get distance glasses when I turned 40. Then I needed reading glasses about 5 years later. Now, my distance vision is good without glasses (?!?) but my reading Rx is getting stronger – ugh!
Barbara says:
I am a huge believer of taking my vitamins everyday calcium, D, etc. I also love to take a beautiful dark purple Lutein soft gel for my eyesight (for about 4 yrs now!! So I have my annual visit with the ophthalmologist and he remarks that my vision seems to have gotten a bit better!! WOW! How wonderful at 60 yrs old! I mentioned that I take the Lutein every day and his comment was “Oh I don’t think that has anything to do with it!” Well I would beg to differ!! Here’s to good vision, beautiful eyes and rockin’ CMV eyewear to go with it! Barbara
palapalaluke says:
No I wish I did!
Paulette says:
I started wearing glasses in my early forties and had cateract surgery in both eyes when I was forty eight. I now have great vision long distance, but have to wear glasses for reading. I love these glasses and I feel if it is necessary to wear them I should have fun doing so and wear something I like.
KAREN COGBURN says:
These are so lovely. My eyesight is no longer perfect so I would appreciate these.
Sherri Rodgers says:
Hmmm am I typing the rightbletters? I do not have good eye sight. I need new glasses in a serious way. I am having my eyes checked the first week in Dec and boy would I look great advertising you great looking glasses. They are very stylish and just right for me. Thanks for reading my post.
Carolyn Humphrey says:
Well. . . I have to say it ain’t what it used to be! I have a job that puts me in front of a computer monitor doing medical transcription for at least 8 hours 5 days a week – and then, of course, in my off time, there is Facebook. My eyes are subjected to a lot of strain and squinting (not good for the wrinkles either!), and I definitely do have to wear computer glasses and have for some time now. However, I think it is probably time to check into a pair of glasses to wear in other areas of my life – TV watching, reading labels when shopping, and, last but not least, driving.
sarah.ann.b.lee says:
I need sunglasses and love to be outdoors.
Gail says:
Never go in the sun without sunglasses and at 50 had to get perscription reading glasses so Yes I have have great eyesight
Roxyvictoria says:
Have worn glasses since 4th grade, mainly a contact-wearer so any kind of sunglasses works for me! People come up to me in stores asking me to read things for them and I can so I must not be too bad off….
OneFabulousNana says:
🙂 Love, love, love the Carmen Mark Valvo glasses! Classy and elegant!
Yes, I do wear glasses and have since I was in high school. I rebelled for several years but during college I realized they did improve my life and I let go of the “nerdy” label (glasses were not highly thought of by ANYone in those days!).
I’ve advanced (with age, of course!) to trifocals and now that I’m retired, bifocals are perfect. Over the years I’ve loved my Laura Ashley glasses the best, sat on more pairs than I care to remember, left one favorite pair in the front seat pocket of a plane (never to be returned!) and another pair in a movie theater! So far I’ve refused to wear one of those “around the neck” glasses holders, though I guess it might be helpful. I’ll do it one of these days…not ready to take that “old lady” (in my mind!) step, yet!
The older I get (and I wake up thankful to God for each new day) the more I “see”, with or without glasses. I try to focus on the little pleasureful things in life, birds singing, yellow leaves floating down the creek, an orange cat curled up in my lap sleeping. I see that forgiving is way easier these days…life is too short to let anger get in the way of living and loving. I’m blessed to be able to read lots of great books, a joy in my life. I am blessed to be able to Skype with three grandkids in Washington State and one precious two-year old granddaughter in Maine, all from our little home in Oregon…technology is so wonderful!
I didn’t mean for this to be so lengthy. It’s just that I am grateful to be blessed with healthy eyesight, glasses that help me see and an open heart and mind that help me to see even more. My life is fabulous! It’s not perfect, mind you, with chronic health issues that I live with but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
God has blessed me with good vision, both physically with my glasses and from my heart, always. 🙂 Thank you for the opportunity!
jkbartist says:
I need reading glasses and love to be outdoors.
etangel18 says:
I have good eyesight and do wear glasses for reading. I must wear sunglasses out as my eyes have always been sensitive to the sun.
qat41 says:
My eyesight is constantly changing making it hard for me to wear my first choice of contacts so I would love a stylish pair of frames.
mabolf says:
Yes, pretty much but sometimes I wish I didn’t see some of the things I do.
jetlag383 says:
I’m thinking with those sunglasses, I will channel my inner Diane Keaton.
Bring them on!
KAREN COGBURN says:
My eyesight has progressively gotten worse after 40. Love these.
DUHFARMER says:
I wear prescription glasses and have for years…but I try to get glasses that look classy on me
daypfeifer says:
Fair to partly cloudy.
fsesq2b says:
I could use a pair for sure!
Rozzie68 says:
Always wore contacts (hard ones) — from age 19 to age 52. New husband really liked me in glasses. I’m now a “senior” — feel age is just a number. Would love a really “cool”, fun and, of course, stylish !
I’m terribly near-sighted, but am able to read without my glasses (this is a real pleasure). Would be thrilled to win.
Toni says:
had Lasix 5 years ago – 20/20 now but still need readers
Maria says:
Yes my eye sight is perfect
mona52lisa says:
My eye sight is not that great, but I wear glasses for driving and will soon need glasses for reading.
i just lost my prescription sunglasses and I miss them so much. It will be time for a new pair soon.
queencarol says:
I am blind as a bat! Now I cannot see up close or far away. Worn glasses since the fourth grade! Wore contact lenses for 20 years and now am most comfortable wearing glasses. I love the Carmen Marc Valvo frames!!! Maura is my favorite!!
AliHayden says:
Do I have good eyesight. That is a bit subjective. After yearso f squinting at computer monitors and a bout with optic neuritis 15 years ago, it’s not nearly as good as it was. However, I have a cousin who is leagally blind (he does whear glasses) and compaired to him, my eye sight is great! My best friend once dated a guy who was completely blind and compared to him I have exceptional & amazing eye sight. So, I wear glasses, but can read and paint so it’s pretty good, huh?
bajjmayer says:
I have decent eyesight–I can see far pretty well and use cheap readers for close–so a pair of these would “ratchet up” my eyeglass collection to the classy level!
AdeleI says:
I am nearsighted, but I need reading glasses to read. My eyesight is definitely not as good as I want it to be.
travelgirl says:
I do not have good eyesight. I was born with bilateral horizontal nystagmus (constant rapid eye movement). I also have a high degreee if astigmatism, and now need bifocals in my glasses. When I wear my contacts for distance vision, then I need reading glasses for close. I definitely need to get new glasses so this prize would be awesome.
DonnaJ says:
My eyesight has definitely been getting worse over the years. I have contacts and glasses (near-sighted), and now I am finding I need to use reading glasses over my contacts. So now, I am paying more attention to buy frames that are beautiful and stylish!
Moonchime says:
I used to have terrific eyesight, but now I need to wear progressive lenses. I miss my good eyesight without having to wear glasses. It would be great to win such a gorgeous pair of glasses from the Carmen Marc Valvo line!
Marlene Sultan says:
Well, I finally have nearly perfect vision. After 40 years of wearing contact lenses and classes I did lasix and am thrilled with the results. I was very near sighted and had astigmatism in each eye. It’s great to wake up and see the clock without reaching for my glasses! I always wear sunglasses, all year.
Lisa says:
I do not have good eyesight; I don’t have good depth perception and therefore don’t drive at night!
Gail Armstrong says:
To say I have terrible eye sight is an understatement. But with glasees on it’s easy to see that the Marc Valvo give away glasses are spectacular. They would look good on all face shapes. The designer has taken great time and used the creative spirit to know what looks good on women. I would be honored to be looked through the lenses of a Marc Valvo frame.
Tracey says:
No, as a person over 50 my eyesight is not what it used to be!
mspurplelady11 says:
I am blind without corrective contact lenses. I am very blessed that they make lenses strong enough to correct my poor eyesight. Your beautiful glasses will help shield my sensitive eyes.
nancdep5 says:
I need reading glasses that have been increasing with strength each year. I do prefer lighter frames to keep the pressure off my nose. I just got transition lenses so that I can read outdoors better.
smfsprout says:
Would that be my eyesight with or without my contacts? Funny how as my age increases so does the font on my computer screen.
valorosa says:
Sure I have good eyesight as long as I wear my glasses. I have been wearing glasses since I was in the third grade (hmmm, I guess that’s about 60 years now) It seems like I need a new pair of glasses ever couple of years, so that’s a lot of glasses for me. I have had transition type before and I really like them because as a gardener I don’t have to get another pair of prescription sunglasses to do my outside hobby.
drsusan32 says:
I feel I have very good eyesight as a FOF. I like being myopic just the right amount to see perfectly up close. I am glad I never had lasik or any other refractive procedure to correct my distance vision as then I would need to use reading glasses. I do wear progressive spectacle lenses and multifocal contact lenses, but it is very nice to be able to remove my spectacles or contacts while at home and be able to pluck my eybrows or thread a needle with nothing at all.
gailstep says:
I wore glasses from early childhood until last summer, when I had lenses implanted after cataract surgery. Now I have better vision that I’ve ever had in my life and wear glasses only to drive at night. It’s wonderful being able to pick out sunglasses without having to worry about what works best with thick lenses.
Sue says:
Just returned from appointment with optometrist. Need to wear glasses now for better vision plus I have problem with night driving. Need to purchase anti glare lense but frames at office were not very fashionable so looking for a frame that will stand out above all the rest.
djhnkl@aol.com says:
I do not have good eyesight. Started to wear glasses when I was 6………….and then complicated by a brain aneurysm that left my left eye permanently dilated. But the brain adjusts to injury and I at almost 70 years of age can read with no glasses. I need them for driving.
Marci says:
My eyesight needs improvement and a pair of these amazing glasses would help!
frumsarah says:
Hi,
Yes I do have decent eyesight in general.
The only exceptions are reading (1.25/1.5…) and also when I am driving at dusk I have a really difficult time with depth perception.
I’m OK during the day and at night, it’s just those early evening hours…
superdumb says:
I am horribly nearsighted. Someday, I would love to be able to wake up in the morning without fumbling for my glasses!
Debra Stoykovich says:
These are FANTASTIC!!!! Please, please!!!!!!! My sight is fairly good, but I MUST wear sunglasses whenever I go out as I have photophobia in bright sung…LOVE THESE!!!!
Francine ONeill says:
I only wear glasses to read.
Elizabeth says:
Cool frames around our eyes draws attention to our soul since the eyes are the windows of the soul. I have a good soul and despite having type 1 diabetes for 45 years, my eye sight is good… I guess my soul is shining bright keeping my eyesight bright!! yea!!
Patricia says:
No I do not have good eyesight. I have been nearsighted since 3rd grade. I had lasix done about 6 years ago. Love it!!! However, not since I am FOF, I need readers!
l5143 says:
picking a pair of sunglasses is hard as its an expences item that can make you look and feel the best you can I have blue eyes very sentive to light have to wear sun glasses even in the winter the problem is as I am getting older I need to change the style many styles are for the younger gal mid 50’s I need a professional and classes look
KAREN COGBURN says:
I would love these as my eyesight has gotten worse in the last ten years.
Sharon says:
Looks like a pair of glasses that will really put you in the fashion world of great looks.
margaracantu says:
since my teenage years i have suffered from bad eyesight, and had recently a cataract surgery. i think there would loook great on me!
krispy9 says:
I have good eyesight with a littl help fom glasses. I had eye lasix 15 years back. It worked great however I’m a bit nearsighted now over time. I have fun picking my frame each year and would love to add one of these to my selection.
Sharon says:
Yes I wear glasses…..and semi-permeable contacts.
Contacts for normal seeing, adding reading glasses for close work.
KAREN COGBURN says:
My eyesight gradually changed until 50. Now I must wear glasses or contacts.
Cynt1 says:
My eyesight isn’t that great, but it could be much worse if I didn’t wear glasses to read.
Cynthia says:
My eyesight isn’t bad, but not that good either!
wjoycebrown says:
I am far sighted. I also have trouble seeing at night while driving. I would love to win a pair of these glasses that compliment the FOF woman of today.
mindy42954 says:
I have worn glasses since 3rd grade and have always felt I didn’t look my best in them. I tried contacts when I was a teenager, the hard type, And boy were they uncomfortable. And they flew out of my eyes every time I sneezed! I have allergies. Anyway, when I was in my twenties my eye doctor talked me in to trying soft lenses. I have worn them ever since. I would love to have an attractive pair of glasses to wear on those days when my eyes need a rest from my lenses. Ones I really felt like I looked good in. I have never owned a pair of glasses I really loved.
Kattrinka says:
Alas….no. My arms are just not long enough anymore…
mimi1411 says:
My eyesight is pretty good, but I need reading glasses.
Rannata says:
I have presbyopia & astigmatism. My eyes are in good health as I get my eyes dilated yearly & I work with both Ophthalmologists & Optometrists as a Certified Ophthalmic Assistant.
Kanosha says:
I am in the process of trying to find the right prescription and is tough since bifocals are hard to wear…have had good vision all my life and is difficult adjustment.
deborah says:
My eyesight is not perfect so I wear corrective lens. During the past year I have experienced a fuzziness in one eye – it’s like looking through a cloud of mist. The obstruction moves around causing me to wink in effort to clear the view. Sunlight exacerbates the problem. Beautiful new frames that cover my eyes better may help alleviate this problem and promote a positive outlook.
Sheila Chaffins says:
I am a little nearsighted. I need to wear readers when I read.
KAREN COGBURN says:
These are lovely. My eyesight has faded over the years so I now wear glasses.
phluff54 says:
Only in one eye – the one with the lens implant after cataract removal surgery; the other eye is extremely near-sighted (as both had been since I was in second grade). I MUST wear prescription eyeglasses for driving, and I would LOVE to be able to choose from this line of gorgeous frames!
elizabeth says:
I am very nearsighted. No bifocals, just can’t see anything further than 5 inched away from me. I have to wear glasses or contacts at all times. I sometimes can’t make my way into the bathroom at night.
ggtodd says:
Great distant vision had great close up vision until I turned forty been going down hill since then it changes so often I get glasses from the dollar store. Love your big rim sun glasses would love to have a pair.
Debbiet says:
One eye sees near & one sees far? They do not work together, but each works when needed. I’ve learned to live with it over the years.
thriftyniftyfifty says:
thankfully, i have good eyesight, and just need reading glasses.
leslie says:
I have fabulous eyesight…when I wear my glasses I have worn sunglasses for years since I was told they can prevent wrinkles and I look at glasses as a necessity and accessory
mama says:
Umm, bad eyesight here. Would love some stylish glasses!
jcgjbg says:
Good eyesight…uh no. Ever since I was kicked in the eye in acrobatics at age 4, I have worn glasses…of course those were the kitty cat glasses of the 1960’s.
joyzkim says:
I have pretty good eyesight for up close, but i need a prescription for far away and its hard to get great looking fashionable frames with a prescription.
Mary Rose says:
Yes
fran says:
Pretty good with any of my 3 pair of glasses (bifocals,sun biofocals and computer.)
I LOVE the big frames at Top of ad!! –
I go crazy trying to fund BIG ones-
My current ones I got from a freinds mother’s things- they are over 20 years old. Usually the glasses people will not put new lenses in old frames but since I had 2 frmes exactally the same they agreed to.
Why is it that local optcal places cannot or will not find BIG ons like these????
KAREN COGBURN says:
I had great eyesight until 50. Now I wear corrective lenses.
LULU says:
My eye sight is more difficult at dusk (I guess that is age). I think if I had one of those great frames to wear, my eyes would work great because I would feel attractive and great! I am 61 and my sons think I look to old fashion. I could use your help and improve my looks. Now that would be great! Thank you
Barb says:
No. I’m the person who has the large magnified reading glasses by the bed, AND the pair of progressives that have all the bells/lights/whistles (ie darken in the sun, special scratch resistant coating, anti-glare, etc) for everything but bedside reading. After nearly 2 years of letting my brick-henna’d hair grow out to it’s natural brown-and-unicorn-hair color (my teen daughters description) I’m ready for some bling in a really bright color frame. That way I can SEE them when I need to find them to put them on (my current glasses are lenses and basically frameless).
elegantlady63 says:
I am nearsighted and wear glasses with progressive lenses. Eyewear retailers don’t seem to offer fashionable glasses in a reasonable price range for the average fab over fifty working women. Most of the time you end up purchasing very ordinary eyewear. I would love, Love, LOVE to have a pair of Carmen Marc Valvo’s glasses. In addition to wearing the ultimate fashion statement in eyewear, I would also be contributing to a great cause.
sydney85 says:
I had wonderful eyesight until I hit 50 and then my eyesight seemed to deteriorate. I need glasses to read at home and when I work. I also need sunglasses all year long. These glasses really look fabulous.
Janis Hall says:
I am nearsighted and wear glasses with progressive lenses. They just don’t offer fashionable glasses for a reasonable cost so you end up getting something quite ordinary. I would love, Love, LOVE to have a pair of glasses by Carmen Marc Valvos. That would certainly be the ultimate fashion statement in eyewear.
Zenaida says:
No. I am nearsighted and I have astigmatism.
Michelle in Htown says:
I have great sight in my left eye, and poor sight in my right eye. Luckily, the left has carried her weaker sister for years, enabling me to wear just one contact lens since I was in my 20s. Lately, however, I’ve switched to multi-focal contacts, so the girls finally have to pull together for the sake of my vision. Long may they reign.
ctgal says:
Glasses in third grade (baby blue ones) and then contact lenses with bad astigmatism. But then…Lasik! The answer to all my prayers. Now I have great distance eyesight, but close up, forget it! And glare isn’t too great either. But I can read those street signs!!!
hofken says:
I’m nearsighted and now I also need readers = bad eyes!
Cynthia.Richardson@azbar.org
angel says:
when driving i always have to wear sunglasses even on an overcast day. even when the sun is trying to come thru the fog just the brightness makes me squint and my eyes water. A new bare of great looking sunglasse would make my year !!!
Faith says:
My eyesight is so-so but I have noticed that it is not as good as it once was. So, now I wear glasses for television and for smaller print. I would love to wear something that is stylish and really looks good on my face! These look like they would fit the bill!
Phoenix says:
It’s fairly good except at night.
melmorgan4 says:
My eyesight is good….with corrective lenses.
Laurie says:
My eyesight is dreadful without my glasses. I would love to have an extra pair as stylish as these!
sandy9787 says:
These frames are gorgeous. I would be thrilled to wear these for my not so great vision!
kariann says:
I have to wear glasses all the time, so I have good eyesight with glasses and would love a pair of these.
Patricia Assanowicz says:
My eyesight is great for distance, anything close up I need my glasses to read small print. Totally love your sunglasses, very chic, thank you for this great opportunity.
Kathi says:
I have Good eyesight, and just lost my sunglasses last month on vacation and would Love to win a pair, they are really nice!
Patricia Caradonna says:
I had RK surgery done 18 years ago to correct my vision (back then I had terrible vision). Due to the fact that I am getting older, my vision is changing and I need glasses to read. Great looking sunglasses!
KAREN COGBURN says:
I had great eyesight until I turned 50. Now use glasses so these would be lovely.
scoutcrs13 says:
I’m a proud member of the reading glasses club! I’d love to get some new big shades though!
Cathy B*****y says:
What an awesome giveaway! Sadly, I do not have good eyesight… unless my glasses are on. But I always having trouble choosing glasses, whether sunglass or regular optical or reading glasses. I spent 2 hours last time I was at eye drs, trying to figure out the best for my eyes and face… and ended without a decision!.. I desperately need both sunglasses and Regular glasses, so winning this would be a complete and appreciated blessing! The Carmen Marc Valvo style eyeglasses are beautiful! The eye dr sactually told me I would be better off with 3 pair!~ sunglass, reading glasses, and driving glasses!
suzanne says:
Interestingly enough, my reading eyesight is better in bright light…but not quite as good when the lighting is dimmer. I am VERY interested in Carmen Mark Valvos sunglassses!!! Would love to win a pair…however, I think I feel I’d be winning if I got a pair in any event! xo
Tammy B says:
I have been blessed with 20/20 vision until this year. I need a little help with the small print on coupons, etc. but long distance is still fine. New sunglasses would be fabulous. I have to wear them practically everyday when I go out or otherwise I will get a migraine headache from the glaring.
akiss50 says:
Without my glasses on I need a dog and a stick. I have terrible vision. It started to go bad when I was 40. I had thought I was going blind. The doctor told me is was just normal aging. I don’t consider the fact that I see everythihng as blurry as normal. I am grateful for corrective eyeglasses.
lisas4 says:
I do have bad eye sight, I’m near sighted
Laurab says:
After having awful eyesight all my life I paid good money to see well. Of course I now have to wear reading glasses but it’s still worth it!
Fashionable 60s says:
I have excellent eyesight as long as I am wearing one of my progressive pair of glasses or better yet, my progressive contact lenses. Since I started wearing my progressive lenses, I no longer need reading glasses anymore so I consider my eyesight as almost perfect now. I love wearing different shapes of non prescription sunglasses with excellent UV A and B protection since not only do they protect my eyesight but they also make me look very glamorous, indeed. Yes, allow me to be one of the recipients of the sunglasses.
Lexiquin says:
No, my vision is not good. I’m extremely nearsighted; however, now that I’m older, I also can’t see up close to read! Thanks for the giveaway.
Wanda myers says:
No I don’t have good eye sight . I wear tri glasses and I read alot and I’m a outdoors person . I would love a pair of sun glasses
Kat S says:
I have great eyesight with my glasses (lol). If I could afford them, I would get trifocals so I could see the laptop screen without holding my head way up.
marla_j98 says:
All my life, I had 20/20. Then, starting in my early 50’s, I started needing reading glasses. Now at 54, I have to use reading glasses for small print.
orchidlady01 says:
I’ve always been nearsighted and can’t see much without glasses. I’ve had progressive lenses for years now and like them.
Victoria says:
Gorgeous frames instead of the plain black military type I wear, nothing would make me feel better about being a gal who wears glasses!
Ianete says:
My eyesight is grand when I’m wearing my specs. It would be too, too sweet to have grand specs to go with my grand eyesight.
Rose says:
I have good eyesight as long as I’m wearing one of my two pairs of eyeglasses, so I’d love to have one of these awesome frames to wear!
beth weatherford says:
I have excellent eyesight, thanks to RK surgery almost 20 years ago. I still consider this surgery a gift from God. I was warned that I would still get far-sighted at the age appropriate time…I am there and wear cheaters to read.
Kai W. says:
No, not anymore. I can’t see far without my glasses. Now with them, I can’t even read. Need to get bi-focal now.
Dee S says:
I have terrible eyesight! These are gorgeous glasses…would love to win a pair!
FabulousMimi says:
My eyes are very sensitive to light and glare. My vision isn’t terrific, but it isn’t terrible either. I find myself squinting and I’m not sure exactly why. I do love beautiful eyeware, and believe it can be a fashion accessory.
catherine lawton says:
Yes I have good eyesight, I went to my optamalogist two years ago and he told me he did not need to see me for 5 years my eyesight was so good. I had all the test necessary. I would love to have a beautiful pair of sunglasses from this collection, I would be a hit on the beach with these shades.
dbo says:
i did but now i’ve aged so as life changed so did my vision
nailteck says:
I wear bi-focal contacts and still need readers! i would like to find a good pair of glasses so I can ditch the contacts sometimes.

I have awful eyesight. As a result of being used as a human guinea pig in a drug trial program, both of my eyes don’t work the same, so I have no depth perception and need reading glasses as well just to call on my phone. Those glasses are beautiful.
Kim Cage says:
I use to have perfect eyesight until I hit my 40’s and since then it has been downhill; Have to wear my glasses to be able read anything, not just the small print anymore. Also,
have to have them on fro the computer now,also. I’m hoping at some point my eyesight will improve gain and I won’t have to wear glasses anymore. Faithfully wear my sunglasses as they are like sunscreen for the eyes.
sheilasshowcase says:
I can not see far away. so I believe I am near sighted. I would love to win one of Carmen Marc Valvo glasses. They are so stylish. I believe you are Italian. So am I and i have been married to my husband Al Caruso for 40 years. He is full blooded Italian, I am only 1/2. Italian.
starsmom says:
not too bad…….but I have bifocals for part-time use…..
Barbara Wicklund says:
I had lasik surgery 10 years ago because I was near sighted. Now I need “cheaters” when I read.
Barb says:
I like most getting older and for years working at computer , I now have to wear glasses, I refuse bifocals as I get migraines & worries it would bring them on, to help when I’m at the computer or reading, I purchased reading glasses and were my prescription lens for cooking or watching TV. happy that so far, not needed to wear while driving.
Noelle says:
I think it would be great to view the world through these gorgeous glasses. I have finally accepted that I need to wear glasses to read but continue to buy over the counter reading glasses which are functional but not flattering at all these would be absolutely fantastic …thanks for a chance to win
Becky Beer says:
Only when I wear my glasses!
Pam Munro says:
My eye sight has always been a problem – 2 different eyes – & other problems – now my eyesight is getting worse 7 worse. ugh
donnarp1 says:
I have pretty good eyesight. I just had my eyes checked and I do not need bifocals as yet. I just need glasses for reading or any close up crafting . A fabulous new frame is always desirable.
Lin says:
I had a routine eye exam at school in the 6th grade and was sent home with a note saying I needed glasses. I had none of the telltale signs (i.e. squinting, falling grades, etc.) My poor guilt-ridden mother cried on the way home from the eye doctor as I squealed with delight at the whole new world I discovered wearing my new glasses. How was I to know I couldn’t see like everyone else? In my older years, glasses are a part of my face and I would be thrilled to have something stylish!
Cecilia Griffin says:
really beaytiful glasses. I could really use a new pair
The Coder says:
I have worsening eye sight, need to take the time and $ to have my eyes checked.
Louise says:
My foresight is better than my eyesight, which is 20/40, and even that’s not too bad! Love the sunglasses; they look comfortable and seem to protect the entire eye very well.
AMOGINESQ says:
My eyesight is much better since I had Lasiks. After being nearsighted all my life, it was a real treat not to have to wear glasses all the time.
sfern@live.com says:
Unfortunately no I don’t have good eyesight and was diagnosed last year right before I turned fifty with macular degeneration…sunglasses are not an option for me but a absolute necessity, but of course I still want to look stylish! Living in Florida they are a necessity but I still consider them an ACCESSORY!!! They are absolutely gorgeous, my fingers are crossed!
dmnyes says:
Actually, I have very good eyesight for my age. I don’t wear glasses. I’m sure time will eventually catch up with me, but for now I am blessed.
Kira says:
Small wrinkles and lines from my teen years? Yap, squinting all the way through school having no inspiration to wear the dreaded glasses. Now, much later in life, I drive in my one pair of classy glasses, and use sunglasses over them when the sun shines 🙂
arlenes says:
“Mine eyes have seen the glory…”. Frames that can “fit” almost any lifestyle. Way to go Carmen Marc Valvo.
I have corrective reading glasses, but can get by with slight magnifiers too!
The multi-color frames are fun.
carrie obrien says:
Not terrible, but I don wear reading glasses!
fhoagland says:
My eyesight has diminished after 40 and I now wear them all the time. I have progressive lenses but find I have to use the “drug store” magnified lenses when I read at night because of the lenses….I have a hard time finding truly fashionable frames and these are just gorgeous!
cindy b says:
unfortunartely i wear glasses an contacts 🙁
judy jordan says:
not really.
Janice says:
What a beautiful collection of glasses. I have worn glasses since 5th grade and have never owned a pair that came close to being as gorgeous as these are! Awesome giveaway!
Terrie says:
My vision has deteriorated with age. I can still get away without correction on a daily basis as long as I don’t want to read anything! Unfortunately have to carry some type of reading glasses with me at all times now.
Donna Blair says:
awesome frames !! Now that I’ve had lasik done, I now only need sunglasses…and these fit the ticket. Please pick me !!
Myrla says:
My eyesight isn’t as good as it used to be. I’ve been using readers for years. Distance wasn’t a problem. This year I just got glasses with progressive lens…I’m still getting used to them.
VeryLiberal says:
I’ve worn glasses for distance vision since fifth grade. Barely need correction for close-up reading now which, I’m told, is the result of beginning of a cataract. Btw, I’m 73 years young, so I’m trying very hard to think positively, and that my vision record is “pretty darn good.”
elisse says:
I’m 52, just had an eye check-up last week, and I still have 20:20 with my contact lenses! And I had sucessful eye surgery on both eyes for detaching retinas in 1993, to boot! I can ONLY chalk this up to Dr. Farkas in NYC: I’ve had the same eye doctor- first the father, now the son- since I was 16 when I first got my hard contact lenses. I am Incredibly nearsighted, and had thick, distorting “coke bottle bottom” glasses; getting contact lenses literally stopped my myopia from worsening. I wear gas-permeable multifocal contacts 100% of the time and LOVE them! (My “back-up glasses” are the ones I had when I was 16!)
Suzanne says:
I can’t read anything small anymore without glasses! The Carmen Marc Valvo glasses are so stylish, I would be thrilled to own a pair and show them off to all my bff’s.
shewalk says:
My eyesight is pretty good during the day since I had laser eye surgery a few years ago, but I have halos at night.
Jill57 says:
I have just recently had my eyes checked and my vision has changed both in the nearsightedness and farsightedness, would love to have a pair of these to put my new prescription in.
liza says:
These frames and glasses are SO BEAUTIFUL! wow…i only wish i needed to wear glasses. They look very expensive. I love Carmen’s dresses..he’s so talented. I met him at SAKS at an event!!
S Smith says:
I wouldn’t say I have good eyesight but it’s also not bad. It has actually improved some after I had major surgery – not on my eyes! But the bifocals are certainly necessary and the astigmatism is ever-present.
Judy Brenner says:
These would make a great Christmas gift!
Patti T says:
I have good enough eyesight to ‘see’ I need glasses most of the time.
DLori27 says:
I used to have 20/15 vision but as I’ve gotten older, I find reading is becoming more difficult. However, I’m very sensitive to this issue and have refused to get glasses because so many of the glasses I’ve seen really seem to age one’s face. If I had a gorgeous pair of glasses such as a pair from this collection, I would be less hesitant to correct my vision. The glasses would not only help me to see better but they are a beautiful fashion accessory as well. Thank you for the opportunity to possibly win these beautiful glasses and Good Luck To All!!!!!

ygnyc says:
I have recently begun to wear glasses…they are workable…but oh my…to wear those beauties would make my eyes LIGHT up!
Nicki Hale says:
I do not have good eyesight. I used to—-but not anymore!
kristingilbert2@aol.com says:
I have good eyesight during the day but at night its terrible
Michelle L says:
I have really bad eyesite, especially far away. I must wear glasses to watch tv, drive, at the movies, etc. I would love to be able to be “fashionable” while performing these activities.
hugochou says:
I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2008. Am in
remission now for three years. So I do know how
important having screening for cancer and colonospys
is to each and every person. Not too long after
finishing chemo treatment I lost eye sight in my
left eye due to cataracts. Had to have cataract
surgery which was successful. To protect my eyes
which are very valuable to me besides my health
I wear inexpensive sunglasses when outside. But I know that with your sunglasses it would be perfect
to wear outside and would be complementary to
my face.
j27 says:
I do not have good eyesight and am beginning to get a cataract so I wear glasses all day. I would love to win a pair of Carmen Marc Valvo’s glasses since I am unable to wear contacts. They would really make me look younger.
glormon says:
I have worn gas perm contacts for over 40 years now and with them I am able to see 20/20, without I see 20/150. sure need something to see haha!
sattalia says:
No, it’s gotten worse. I need glasses to read all the time now.
LLL says:
My cataract surgery changed my life – with new corrective lenses implanted in mono-vision, I am able to see better than 20-20 & even the doctor was amazed.
Debi208 says:
I need readers now. The fine print on medicine bottles is impossible to see now without them. I have to wear sunglasses to see outside or I have to look down at the ground when I walk. At least now they have improved. When I was young I had to wear 2 pairs of sunglasses at a time to drive!
mmmoore240@yahoo.com says:
I am over fifty-five and need all the help I can get looking great! A pair of these great glasses would really help out my weak eyesight.
gin says:
Unfortunately I don’t have good eyesight. I didn’t realize until I was in my teens that I suffered from amblyopia so it was too late for correction. I wear contacts daily and now readers along with the contacts.
sandram says:
Yes, so far I have been very fortunate to have good eyesight. I only wear readers and I am 65.
mary1 says:
My distance vision is still 20/20, but my close up vision is horrendous and getting worse each year. I have to wear readers to read, paint, cook, etc. My what a difference an attractive pair of glasses would make.
fes5128 says:
I have come to the conclusion that sunglasses are like shoes. A girl can never have too many pairs. It’s a win win!
hedgies says:
Now that I just turned 50, I completely get how my mother felt. She blocked out that whole year (she doesn’t even remember the surprise party we threw her even after looking at the pictures to prove it).
A pair of these stylish glasses, since I currently wear one for driving, one for the computer at the office, and one pair for the computer at my home office, it would be terrific to upgrade my appearance.
ginny gavin says:
love the glasses
AJB says:
My vision has been poor since I was a young kid and everything far away was a blur. I had Lasik done 7 years ago which corrected my vision to 20/25 and have been happy with that. I occasionally wear reading glasses but don’t have to all the time yet — my reading vision is still quite good.
suri40 says:
I love those glasses, classy and functional. I hope I win!
mink says:
My vision is marginal – I see okay but headaches.
laclay says:
I had perfect vision until age 45, now I can’t even grocery shop ( or read menu’s ……) without my readers. I have several cheap pairs- a pair in my purse , a pair in each car.
mandrada says:
My eyesight has gotten progressively worst, that’s all due to the computer work I do all day. I could use another pair of new glasses and frames, but my insurance dictates I have another year to go for replacement. I’d wear these glasses to death if I win one, and would definitely add a new me look – better lift me up look…(who says glasses are not in fashion…they make a fashion statement!)
tdixon1957@sbcglobal.net says:
i wear glasses due to my sight is not the best.these glassses will set my face out to the high stylish point.i would love to win them.thanks
vivi says:
I was born with poor vision. I’m nearsighted and in the -800 range. I haven’t purchased a new pair of frames in years and REALLY need an updated look. I’d love to have a pair of beautiful frames – it would certainly give me a boost.
BlueBear says:
I was just diagnosed with macular degeneration and the opthalmic surgeon has me on a “watch” right now so, no, my eyesight is less than great. I have a particular sensitivity to light and have double vertical vision at night. In the day, I never leave the house without sunglasses!
sandy haber says:
I have 20-20 distance but not so good for reading or the computer. Gave in and got bifocals because I was always forgetting to bring reading glasses with me. The joys of getting older! But these glasses sure would take the ‘pain’ away!
Ann Russell says:
Aging eyes…aging eyesight. At least I don’t see the dust as well!!
MARY says:
I had Lasik surgery years ago. Unfortunately, I now need glasses to read but that is better than wearing them for distance.
mrsbecky says:
My eyesight has been getting worse for the last two years. I wish I could afford the eye laser surgery and not have to wear glasses anymore. I can not wear contacts very well either. Things could be worse, I am grateful that is all that is getting worse.
Kathleen says:
I have far from perfect eyesight. I would love to own a pair of eyeglasses that are not only stylish, but comfortable. I’ve found stylish, but the comfort just isn’t there. That leaves me wearing contacts more than I prefer to.
Nancy says:
Yes! I am blessed!
Ellen says:
unfortunately, No.
c smith says:
I need reading glasses, but distance sight is good.
tgreenstreet says:
No-horrible eyesight. I have worn glasses since I was in grade school and have hated every minute of it. I graduated to contacts as soon as I could afford to buy them for myself at 17. I am fanatic about wearing sunglasses whenever I am outside.
Kathy Bratton says:
I got so passionate I forgot to answer the question! No, I no longer have good eyesight.
Fab55 says:
Glasses are the best and worst. I love that these are jewelry, and actually enhance your face… but I HATE that I still would probably have to take them off to read the newspaper so close-up that I get newsprint on my nose!
goldieholliday says:
Unfortunately I don’t anymore…I can’t see objects close up @ all…everything a blur. My eyes are super sensitive to light…even wear shades when it’s overcast…LOL :))
Headinclouds says:
Good but not great! Need readers now and noticed my distance sight is getting a little less clear. Wouldn’t mind wearing glasses at all if they looked as fabulous as these and transitioned from day to night so well!
ktpotat says:
one eye is good the other is weak
Kathy Bratton says:
Has anyone else noticed that TV makeovers always have the lucky person remove her glasses? Some have even had to put them back on to view their “new” self in a mirror! Not everyone can wear contacts! Thanks FOB for making it clear we can look “Fab” in the right glasses.
ChristyJan says:
I’ve always had good eyesight, but lately I’ve had to start using reading glasses.
Kathi Elster says:
My eye sight is pretty good for my age but I do need to wear glasses to read and write. The best part of wearing glasses is that they cover the bags under my eyes!
janetatchley says:
I never wore glasses until I was 45 then it was just readers. As the years have gone by, I now cannot function without my biofocals. I truly hate wearing glasses but when you have the right frames it’s just another fashion statement.
Melissa says:
I remember getting my first pair of glasses at the age of six and seeing, for the first time, the individual leaves on a tree, I have never forgotten that experience, I was actually amazed! It is now 52 years later and my vision has only gotten worse over time. I either wear contacts or glasses, and since my mid forties, when I wear contacts I need to use reading glasses. The glasses I wear are very much a statement of who I am, so I search until I find a style that ‘is totally me’.
SharShar65 says:
I have worn glasses since I was 13. I’ve always bought the least expensive frame because it cost so much for trifocals, etc. I’d love to get a pair of glasses that are as pretty as Mr. Valvo’s. I love those little red ones.
loeloe says:
I can’t wear contacts any more because they can’t accommodate my type of prescription. What better than to look fabulous with glasses since I need them anyhow?
loeloe says:
I can’t wear contacts any more because they can’t accomodate my type of prescription. What better than to look fabulous with glasses since I need them anyhow?
Nancy G says:
I have excellent far vision after getting Lasix almost 15 years ago. Unfortunately my near-vision has deteriorated significantly in the last 4 years. Now it’s glasses on, glasses off all the time and most of the readers you see in the stores are so ugly!
valerie johnson says:
i wear reading glasses, but i have good eye sight, and the people that see me in those glasses would say, you look marvelous!!!!!
JIGGYDOT@AOL.COM says:
SINCE MY CATARACT SURGERY I HAVE PERFECT DISTANCE VISION BUT EXTREMELY WEAK CLOSE UP VISION. I CANNOT READ WITHOUT GLASSES. OH, HOW I’D LOVE ONE OF THESE BEAUTIFUL PAIRS OF GLASSES.
Sharonsue says:
I have pretty Blue Eyes and have worn contacts for years. Now, I need reading glasses as well. I would greatly appreciate winning a pair of these gorgeous glasses! I cannot afford to go and buy a nice pair….have had too many health problems!
Mollie says:
I would love to own a pair of these beautiful glasses..I need a better pair of sunglasses to wear
kathypt1 says:
My eyesight has always been good though I do wear prescription eyeglasses now for my aging eyes. Recently, I have developed floaters and flashers and now am struggling with them. They are driving me crazy and making me feel very bad about my eyes.
bjensen says:
I don’t have goodsight. I have had 5 cornial transplants. The most recent 2 were about 10 years ago. I stil have so much astigmatism from where my stitches were that it makes it so I can’t wear contacts anymore. bummer
CB says:
Once I started wearing glasses for reading….it was downhill :/ now have to use every day @ office…and mercy if I forget to take those readers out for to a restaurant for dinner lol
Karen Bain says:
Hello! Considering my age, I’m happy to say my eyesight is pretty good. Yes, I wear glasses to read. However, they are not necessary when I drive. Quality eyeglasses make a statement ~ and as a Florida resident, their need is obvious. Thanks for doing this contest. And, y’all make it a great day.
javierl22 says:
I also have one eye which is near-sighted and one far-sighted…interesting for eye makeup aplication….overall i am nearsighted and don’t see acurately past a few yards…I’ve gotten into wrong cars …
I once went to kiss and hug my grandmothers friend who I loved like agrandmother as well…..I wound up scaring the daylight out the wrong lady I had mistakenly hugged without glasses…
one consolation; the men are starting to look better!!
rosevincentia says:
Since I have to wear glasses for reading and computer work, I love to wear colored frames. Needless to say, I would love to try the colorful frames featured above, or perhaps really good sunglasses, since I’ve started to wear them most of the year.
debbiehoskins says:
I always had great vision, but when I hit my 47th birthday, everything changed! Now I have to have readers on half of the time. I can’t see print without them, and it drives me crazy!
Penny Boyer says:
I do not have good eyesight. I had cataracts last year and they found astigmatism in one eye. In addition, I have severe night blindness. So I have wear glasses all the time. I would be nice to have some attractive glasses to wear!
Asya says:
I am wearing eyeglasses. But always try to look nice..:) I need a new once,wearing this from11 years:(
PJohnston says:
My vision is poor but when corrected with contact lens is actually very good. I do have some problems driving at night, however.
eddyrobey says:
At our time of life, the notion of good eyesight can be relative. Yes, I wear glasses, and don’t see very well without them. However, my vision is wonderful, when compared to what it was before cataract surgery. The most important thing is my gratitude for what I see. November is a month to be thankful, and I am.
Jane says:
I’m fortunate at age 60 to not need glasses, although I find using low level readers prevent my eyes from tiring for a favorite and luxurious pastime – spending long hours with my nose in a book.
InMO says:
I’ve worn glasses since I was in first grade and switched to contacts in middle school. I am so nearsighted that my selection of frames is limited if I don’t want my prescription glasses ro look like the bottom of a soda bottle.
Tina Ashton says:
I am far-sighted and getting a little more so each year but a new pair of stylish glasses would be welcome. Glasses can soften the look of wrinkles around the eyes and I have them in spades!
Margaret Wheat says:
My eyesight started fading when I hit 40 and has gone downhill since then. I wear prescription glasses for reading and won’t go out of the house without my sunglasses. The sunglasses I have now are about 15 years old, but I can’t find any that I like to replace them….
bclaxton says:
Not awful. I wear glasses to read and to use the computer (i.e., can’t see close or medium distances). My far distant vision is very good, however. I wear sunglasses whenever I’m outside or I get headaches.
Amy Henry says:
I depend heavily on reading glasses and struggle with how to wear them conveniently. After ditching my little-old-lady chain, I now wear them pushed up on my head but still find myself juggling and fumbling between reading glasses and sunglasses. Every so often I’m tempted to give in and just go with bifocals but I haven’t been brave enough to take the plunge (yet)!
Barbara Blackmar says:
Am now confronted with the aging eyesight problem – difficulty in focusing. Have to wear glasses for reading and require stronger lenses every few years
Phyllis says:
I live in Florida so you know how worthy I am of these sunglasses! Please send them to me!!!
With all the “snowbirds” hitting our “slopes” this time of year, I need somewhere to hide!
Thanks!
Kym says:
If taking off my glasses to read the fine print qualifies as good eyesight then yes, I have excellent eyesight LOL.
nanawill929 says:
No my eyesight is not as good as it should be, but I’m sure these glasses will help 🙂
Kelly Saucedo says:
For many years I had terrible eyesight. Between heredity and having German measles as a kid, I had coke bottle glasses most of my youth.
When I was 43 I had Lasik Eye surgery that reduced my need for prescription lenses to the ‘cheater’ reading glasses you can buy in drugstores. It was one of the best things I ever did…now I can wear all those cute sunglasses that I could never wear before!
VJ says:
No, I have to wear reading glasses. My far sight is still pretty good. However, I NEVER leave the house in the daytime without sunglasses and never have. Even on a cloudy day I must have my sunglasses.
midnight4567 says:
I have all right eye sight, I have worn glasses for about 20 years, I do wear sunglasses all the time when I am out side. I would love a new pair of sunglasses.
Mamavalveeta03 says:
Um, depends what you mean by “good”:Can I hit the broad side of a barn? Probably. Can I read the ingredients list on the side of a product? Not with a gun to my head!
Camilla Wilson says:
I have alwys had good eyesight but since I hit 50 I have noticed a slight difference.
Donna Woodruff says:
My arms have grown so long it is ridiculous!!!!
Sandra Anderson says:
I must wear reading glasses yet my distance is alright. I also wear sunglasses with reading help that I purchased in Bangkok about 15 years ago. I know it is time to replace them but can’t seem to part with them.
km756 says:
I do not have good eyesight, I have had glasses since I was 8 years old, 47 years.
mabrei says:
Unfortunately, I have never had good eyesight.
Tina A. says:
I have been in glasses since the age of nine. At sixteen, I switched to contacts, and have been using them ever since. I now have mono vision contacts (one undercorrected eye allows me to read).
Christa says:
I have the exact same problem Murphy has. I have a small face and love the smaller glasses, but the ones I always choose are too small for my prescription(I need bifocals).
Dorothy says:
I need glasses to see far away especially for driving.
ctaylor60 says:
I have worn glasses for over 40 yrs. Ater I turned 50 I had difficulty wearing my contacts due to dry eyes…oh and I simply gave up when bifocals came in to play! Hello glasses….remember me? Time to work on our relationship again.
Debe says:
No I do not been wearing contacts since I was 16 – and glasses for back up…thank gawd for plastic lenses otherwise I would have “coke” bottles for lenses. Everytime I see the eye doctor I ask him if it is time for the seeing eye dog yet? I hate it when your eyes go south once you hit fifty…not fair!
Treva says:
I have to wear sunglasses and glasses to drive. I am 70 and single and need new glasses that look good.
Theresa Hill says:
My eyesight is so frustrating. I wear contact lenses. They have corrected one of my eyes to see distance and one of my eyes to see close-up. This results in my vision being only “fair” for either distance or close-up! Without my contacts I can see up close PERFECTLY!! But with my contacts I have to wear Reader Glasses to be able to see anything up close or to read. Since I am a seamstress, I do a lot of close-up work so I end up wearing contacts & glasses at the same time. Ugh!
jo.cavins says:
I’ve never had good eyesight. The far-sightedness that has come with age has only exasperated the near-sightedness I’ve lived with all my life. Not fair.
Annette D says:
No, I’m sorry to say that I do not. I have been wearing glasses or contacts since I was a child.
Mary Dierschow says:
No, I do not have good eyesight. I’ve been wearing corrective lenses since the 3rd grade. I’m too chicken to have laser surgery, and have been wearing RGP lenses since 1973. I always wear sunglasses because of my blue/green eyes and fair skin.
cruisinsusan says:
With age the nearsightedness improves a bit and the farsightedness gets worse. Oh the challenges of aging and eyesight! 🙂
KAREN COGBURN says:
After I turned 50 my eyesight was compromised. I now trade off between glasses & contacts. These are lovely.
Debra Stewart says:
I have poor eyesight. I wear prescription glasses. When I am in the sun, my eyes are very sensitive, so I also wear prescription sunglasses. Good looking glasses are a big part of my accessories.
JEANETTE says:
Well it’s not what it use to be (like everything else). I look at things far away and tilt my head as if to make it clearer. I ask my five year old grandson if a piece of string was it a worm. He just looked at me and did not answer! It’s time for new glasses and a new look.
Maggie says:
No, I need to wear either contact lenses or eyeglasses.
vasslt says:
Yes, I do have good eyesight, but need to wear sunglasses all the time, especially when driving, here in Texas.
Murphy says:
No, I don’t have especially good eye sight. I have one eye that is far-sighted and one that is near-sighted. I work on a computer quite a bit so need glasses for that but my distance isn’t to bad, however, having blue eyes, I definitely wear sunglasses all the time.
Murphy says:
No, I don’t have good eyesight. In fact, I have one eye which is near-sighted and one far-sighted.
