Really: quote: "They wear glasses, they must be smart," said Ms. D'Aversa, 32, who graduated from teachers' college in July. "It's the first thing they see before you open your mouth. If you're nervous, it's a good way to mask that. I don't have to speak, the flasses speak for me," she said, sliding her flasses to the end of her nose on a café patio.Although Ms. D'Aversa started wearing flasses for fun, she quickly learned they bring out her bookish side. "It's a more introspective version, a more studious version, of myself; someone who thinks a lot," she said. Micheal Mason from Ottawa wears flasses to his job as a retail manager. "I'm 22, right? I wear the fake glasses to change my look. I feel more mature, a little older or a little more professional when I'm wearing them," said Mr. Mason, who hopes to sport his flasses in an office setting after graduating from Carleton University this spring (he also wears them to job interviews).
I guess there's something to it; certainly some people think glasses are a sign that you're an intellectual.

I'd love to get LASIK. What I hate about glasses, among other things, is always needing to clean them, and sometimes they get scratches, and it sucks. Oh, and prescription sunglasses cost an infinite amount of money.
