    Same with buying shoes; how do you expect me to go to the shoe store without having shoes to walk in?

    And for glasses; how can I find my glasses without glasses?

      you were trying to be sarcastic, but instead you have revealed a major issue with the recidivism of homelessness and crime that affects every modern society.

      if one of us is in chains, none of us are free.

        Lol no, I know better than trying to be sarcastic online, I was making the same point as you (although less eloquently). Wholeheartedly agree with what you said!

      For real though, don’t ask if I like the new frames I’m trying on. How am I supposed to know? I’m not wearing my glasses

        Nowadays one way to do it is to record a video in selfie mode while you try on the frames and move your head around a bit, then switch back to your real glasses and watch the video.

        Some glasses dealers now have apps which CG the frames in question onto your face, and the results are getting more impressive and less cartoony.

          This is a great piece of advice thanks for sharing it!

          I’ve tried the CGI frames before but none of them look like real glass to me. I do have a big head though so that’s probably a part of it.
