How do you get used to wearing glasses? Whenever I'm wearing mine I can't stop thinking about it and the limited vision to simply what's infront of me exept being forced to bend around to get it within my line of vision.

My mom is forcing me to wear them but if it were up to me I wouldn't wear them at all.

I've been wearing them since I was four. That's how I got used to them.

You will get used to them eventually, it's better that you wear them a lot at first I think because you'll get used to them faster that way. It felt weird for me when I first got glasses when I was 11. But the more you wear them, the more you get used to them. I actually feel weird not wearing mine now so I wear them all the time.
It well get better after a while though.
Or you could always get lenses.

you wear them and after a while it will drive you nuts not to wear them

Sometimes I catch myself trying to find my glasses when they are already on.

Just keep telling yourself that wearing glasses makes you look smarter.

I loved my glasses as soon as I got them. I could see clearly through them.

I never got used to my old pair which i got a few years ago though as my sight wasn't as bad as it was now though so never used them much.

I first got some when I was 10, and didn't wear them due to bullies etc. Eventually - 7 years later I got contacts as I needed to learn to drive. I wish I had been forced more, or at least my mum had made more of a fuss as I really appreciate them now.
Upon wearing contacts for 4 years now, if I take them out I have to wear my glasses - otherwise the world is somewhat screwed up and bleary (short sighted roughly -2 diopter)
I know what you mean about the window affect, but in reality - you see stuff in that window with greater clarity. As long as you keep the lenses clean, its actually really easy to kind of end up seeing past them and back into the world.
I highly recommend wearing them, as I firmly believe I would have performed alot better at school had I done so - on that though, presuming I have AS, thats 2 things the school didn't pick up about me, both I must have been squinting alot to see the board, and that I thought differently to the majority.
Interestling, it has kind of become an obsession, in that I remember anyone who has worn glasses for the first time in my company (so going from none to having them) and am fascinated by the affect different lense materials have on the bending of light around the face (with short sighted making it narrower and smaller eyes, long sighted enlarging eyes)

I got my glasses 6-7 months ago, and I am VERY used to them because I put them on at morning and took them off at night. The consistency has made me used to them, to the point that if I don't pay attention at night I will sleep with glasses.

I've done that before. :)

I've worn glasses since the second grade, contacts since the sixth. They're a pain at first, but you'll get used to them over time. Eventually you won't even realize that they're there.
