Oddly specific: other glasses-wearers, how do you deal with your eyelashes smudging the inside of your glasses? Is this specifically an Arx problem? Do I need to shave my eyelids?

For me, it's not my eyelashes so much as my brow furrowing and rubbing delicious face-grease onto the lenses.

But, basically, as with anything else glasses-related... Just clean them a lot more often than you ever expected or wanted to. It helps when you realize that fancy mini-cloths and expensive cleaning sprays aren't really that much better than a faucet, some kitchen soap, and a paper towel.

I cant say ive ever given it any thought. How long are your eye lashes mate?

My brows often dirty up my glasses. When that happens, I use liquid soap and a faucet.

I haven't done any research but I doubt it's advised, put something between your nose and your glasses to distance them instead, at least you won't be using scissors near the eye while fighting the instinct to blink.

Sounds like you need an Opti-grab™!

Either one, depending on the tone. I think.

Is there a word for words that can take on completely opposite meanings?

Is there a word for words that can take on completely opposite meanings?

There are three: such words are contronyms, antagonyms, or auto-antonyms.

Thankfully my local galesses place gives me free microfibers and free alcohol-spray wipes.

Pro Tip: Rubbing Alcohol is perfect lens cleaning material. It's a wonderful solvent and dries fast.

I wear contacts.

I wear contacts.

Note: Do not use rubbing alcohol to clean contact lenses.

Or do it, whatever. I'm not your mom.

I got jalapeno oil on my fingers and didn't realize it til the next day once. It had since been cleared off my hand but still lurked in my lens case. The worst part was when the burning in my eye subsided and I realized I had to do it again.

If you've got a job in sewer inspection and maintenance, is it dishonest to introduce yourself as working undercover for the government?

My name is Bond. James Bond. I work undercover for the government. Now show me your man-hole.
