Title: Would getting glasses help conceal my forehead/brow, or make it worse?
Post by: Blackwaters427 on November 15, 2016, 03:17:45 AM
Okay so my eyesight is getting a bit worse lately and I think I need glasses. I refuse to use contacts. There's absolutely no way I'm putting a foreign object on my eyeballs. Not happening!
So, do you think having glasses would help conceal my low brow and jutting forehead? Or would it bring more attention to it?

Yes, I think glasses help a lot there.  However, contacts are not the end of the world though, LOL.  I use both depending on my activity.  Contacts are much better when you are physically active and moving and sweating a lot.

I use both contacts and glasses, and I feel the glasses do help. Wearing women's frames also helps give people one more hint how you'd like to be gendered.

I wear glasses with a heavier and more feminine frame. They distract from the eyebrow and ridge, and the designs give a feminine gender cue.
