If you’re reading this with a lens between you and the screen, you’re a member of a group you never knew about. I’ll call us “glassers,” a term for anyone who uses glasses or lenses to interact with the world. We have enough groups to belong to, enough listservs, tweeters, and friends to follow. Yet here is a place to bring together all of us who view the world through corrective lenses, to share our experience.

On this site, everyone who carries around a lens can learn more about the community of glasses-wearers. This site is dedicated to everyone who has loved, hated, rejoiced in and regretted their glasses. Many of us! We are a group, a tribe, a collectivity who share the experience of wearing glasses and lenses. What do we have in common? You tell us.

Here you can learn more about glasses and their history; read the stories and confessions of people who have lived behind glass, in their own words. Meet others like you who wonder about how their lives have been shaped by glasses.
