Glasses Leash

[Highlander]

OK, cool or not cool? Do you guys and gals like the "glasses leash"?

Seems I have been "in between" glasses for the last four or five years. Gradiant bi-focals, and I just can't find the reading part, unless I lean back in my leather wing chair recliner to watch a game. Then they are quite evident as I can't see the TV

Anyway, they are up, down, on, off all day and night long, depending what I am reading or looking at.

I think they can look pretty good, giving one an intellectual air. Also there is the increased practicality to consider. I think it also depends if it complements the individual's style.

In short, if they you're comfortable wearing them, they can look great.

No No No, don't do it ! Not cool at all. That is my opinion.

I agree #6; I've avoided using them for years - even though recommended by others. My pride and vanity have prevented me from ever getting one. So I continue to switch glasses and drop them - but I will never leash them!

Isn't it a lanyard? I thought a leash was for things that could walk under their own power.

croakies?

I use croakies with certain pairs of my shades so I won't loose 'em [huh]

Not a fan myself, unless with pince nez.... maybe a set of those might be your answer? As for the varifocals.... just a thought, but were the frames a modern style with a shallow lense? Seems to me a deeper lense might give a better 'reading area'. [huh]

Once I put my glasses on, I almost never take them off. Unless I was wearing a set of pince nez (and I wouldn't count on that happening anytime, anyplace, anywhere in the future of my life), I don't think I'd need a lanyard for my glasses. I never lose them and I never take them off. If I have to, I put them on the table or in my coat. If I have nowhere else to put them, I fold them over my watch-chain and leave them there until I'm done doing what I'm doing, then unfold them off my chain and put them on again.

Besides, spectacle lanyards don't necessarily protect your glasses or prevent their loss. My grandmother could testify to that.
