There were such different responses to cataract surgery. One person said she couldn't wait to get rid of her glasses. At the opposite end of the spectrum, I told the doctor that since I've worn glasses since the age of nine or so, that I would prefer to have glasses. And that turned out accurate as I had to wait a month to get a new prescription and I was looking for my glasses out of habit and reflex. I got the lenses taken out and wore them to solve that problem.
Have you ever been tempted to get glasses frames that stand out from your face and demand attention? Maybe yes or no - I think it depends on your professional orientation. We can sort the groups who will be interested in them. Remove all the engineers as they are looking at the data and not at peoples' faces. It is said that doctors want functional, protective, and comfortable eyewear. What would you expect from lawyers? Traditional, professional, conservative glasses are preferred.
I guess it is people who want to be "seen" - wouldn't that be celebrities and people in the arts? They seem to be the ones wearing unusual eyewear frames. However, the market for the glasses are "ordinary" people who want to exude those vibes.
Frame styles today have names such as the Bayonetta, Expressive Futurism, Quiet Luxury and Pillow. It makes me think of the Pantone Colour of the Year.
You can take a stroll through Hollywood celebrities wearing glasses. HERE it is. And below is a nice collage of famous movies showcasing eyewear in their posters.
And you can get the birds' eye view of eyewear trends with the chart below.
And following that is a chart of famous eyewear through the decades. Even after cataract surgery completed, it seems very hard to read.
