Considering getting these Matsuda’s

I need new glasses because my prescription has changed drastically. I’ve worn rimless for most my life. The last picture are my current glasses that are almost 10 years old.

Do these look ok, should I keep looking, or stick with rimless frames and maybe change the shape?

I need help finding glasses after wearing rimless frames for years.

I’m having so much trouble finding new frames. I’ve worn rimless glasses most of my life. They are the last picture. At 55, I think they make me look old and tired.

My prescription has stayed the same until my most recent eye exam. It was a significant change and I have to have progressive lenses now. 😔 so- the glasses can’t be as small as my current ones. Another bummer.

After wearing small rimless for years I’m in complete frame shock. Posted here are ones the optical shops (I went to 4 different shops 🙄) suggested based on my face shape and all told me NO MORE RIMLESS GLASSES - they age me. 😕

The 1st 2 pictures are my old glasses. The next two pictures are the same glasses one with my hair down and then up. Next two pictures are the same glasses - front on and side view, then a blue frame one salesperson picked out for me and lastly a semi rimless.

I’m at the point maybe I’ll just wear contacts and readers 😂.

It’s hard picking out frames when you can’t see how they look except in a mirror on a counter. These were ones the salespeople helped me with.

Any of them or keep looking?

Scoliosis sucks. I just want to look normal.

My curves are 40 degrees top, 35 bottom. The disfigurement is real as I’m sure all here feel.

The square torso, hunchback, uneven shoulders, uneven ribcage, one side of my ribs stick above the other, one side of my ribcage sits on my hips. No waist. I am a box.

Woe is me right? I should be thankful for what I have but it’s so hard just trying to find clothes to feel confident in.

I run, swim, weigh 128lbs and every top I put on makes me feel ugly. I go up a size I look boxy and frumpy. Down a size the disproportionate torso is 100% obvious.

I will try a shirt on over and over and over again checking and rechecking to see if it hides my curves or accentuates it.

I started taking pictures of clothes I try on because I’m a horrible judge looking in the mirror. Then I started doing videos- the horror I saw in my movement, how uneven my shoulders are, how bent forward my top back is made me almost vomit.

How do you dress? How do you feel beautiful in your clothes?

I workout, eat healthy, but look at my body in my clothes and feel disheartened.

I know this is vain. There’s much more important things in life than how one looks. But it’s not JUST how I look. It’s how I feel when I see how disfigured I am. I don’t care about fashion or makeup. I just want to look NORMAL in my clothes.

I’m so depressed. I ordered clothes for the summer. Some basic dressier tees, and a white top in different sizes for shorts and jeans. I have spent over 2 hours trying two tops on in 2 different sizes trying to see which one hides my scoliosis best and makes me look NORMAL. TWO HOURS!!! Now I just want to send everything back and wear nothing but my oversized graphic T-shirt’s and yoga shorts.

I’m so depressed. 😔
