    Disregarding the comment about meds, people are really weird about glasses. Yeah, your face looks kinda different with or without, but it’s not that extreme. Is the general population really so face blind that they can’t look through a simple accessory? Are they confused when people with hats take them off?

    A platypus!?

      depends on the face and the glasses. some people it makes zero difference. others it’s like night and day.

      it’s all about the SHAPES. there is a whole science behind facial shapes and how they can be altered by accessories or makeup

      I would say the strength of the prescription can make a big difference. Stronger glasses can have a magnifying effect that changes how the eyes look significantly so they look like a different person without them.

      The woman in the photo doesn’t seem to have that effect going on though. I would bet those are either fake glasses for fashion, or a very light correction.
