I'm actually really blind with super thick lenses so nobody would add my prescription to em. And if I used glass they would fallen off face from how heavy they'd be. I got contacts and tried to get them filled with blanks and nobody wanted to do that either cuz the lenses are so small.<br />
<br />
I feel like glasses are one of those things that just need to be metal and round and your like 90% there.<br />
<br />
If you stalk eBay and etsy some nice ones will come around for reasonable prices.

<p>Tim Twiss has a pair of old glasses that he offered to loan me for the Cemetery Walk but I was afraid I'd do something to damage them and the sides were so short, I couldn't keep them on my head, anyway.</p>
<p>I know we tend to be larger people than they were 160 years ago but I probably would've been about average.</p>

<p>my period glasses are originals and I simply took them and had real glass lenses with a prescription. probably much safer to use modern lenses. </p>

<p>These obviously are not at all as nice or authentic as yours but then I don't have as much ambition. I bought these on Amazon. There are others to chose from rather cheap and some more expensive. These served my purpose as a prop when I portrayed an 1830s school teacher for a cemetery walk. I only wore them as each group was approaching.</p>
