When you take them off, put them in the case so if they are accidentally knocked off the table, they won't get broken.

And, from experience, I can tell you, never ever clean your lenses when they are dry. Always use a cleaning solution or just water if cleaning solution is available. Cleaning them dry will scratch the lenses, and there is nothing more irritating than a scratch that you have to look through all the time.

Wearing glasses isn't so bad, Jolie. I've had them since I was 8 years old. And glasses are very fashionable now. It may take a bit to get used to them, but before long, you won't even notice that you have them on.
I'll have to keep that in mind to put it in the case or leave it on my face because honestly, I'm not far by an organized person. Heck, I even lose my keys from time to time LOL

So you're saying that if the lenses were cleaned while it's dry, there are chances that any little foreign objects could be easily transferred from somewhere else and on to the lenses in order for it to be scratched? Does the lenses get scratched easily, even if nothing was done to it at all? I'm just wondering since I'm learning all about this. My mom has been wearing glasses for as long as I remember but I never had really paid attention to what she does with it because I didn't think it would concern me. Now it does.

When I was choosing out my frame, I didn't even know which one I wanted because there were so many frames to choose from. Some of them were cool but some of them were so uh.... tacky, and doesn't suit me. It's funny because when I narrowed it down to the last 2 frames, I kept looking at the mirror trying to decide between these 2. I was like - I want both of it LOL but I knew I couldn't because I can't afford having 2 of 'em. So, I was thinking "Nah, this one looks so-so" and "Yeah, That looks just great". It was so mind boggling trying to find the exact one I wanted. In the end, I chose one that I thought would suit me in the long run. You're right, I've noticed it becoming in the trend with fashion.
