How would furs wear glasses?
Anyone else think that when your ears are either nonexistant or on the top of your head it'd be a little hard to wear them?

Re: How would furs wear glasses?
I would think that the glasses would simply be directed towards where the ears actually are (eg. the top/sides of the head). In cases where there AREN'T any, there's always pierced eyeglasses, which actually look pretty cool, if painful, and things like full-head straps, which would look silly.
Additionally, eyeglasses could be made that hold themselves to the head by applying slight pressure (sort of how headphones work by clamping to your ears), though it wouldn't be as sturdy. Still, the muzzle/etc would provide more surface area for glasses to grip, which reduces the need for a sturdy clamping mechanism. Last edited by Runefox; 01-19-2009 at 09:55 PM. |

Re: How would furs wear glasses?
I think the muzzle - that is, the elongated bridge of the nose - would provide for a decent place for some sort of clip for the glasses, like it lightly clamps onto the bridge.
They could just goggles, which wrap around the head. A sort of steam-punk look... The arms of the glasses could go back, and then up to wrap around the back of the ear, but if they're prone to twitching their ears around, it might not work so well. Alt answer: contacts.

Re: How would furs wear glasses?
I just kind of figured it was a balancing act. Maybe have it so the connector between the lens stretches open and then clamps down onto the bridge of the muzzle... sort of the way bifocals balance on the end of noses, ooor something.

Re: How would furs wear glasses?
I think at the very least furries needing glasses would give eyeglass companies some new design ideas.

Re: How would furs wear glasses?
Glasses like Morpheus has, except most furries are nowhere near cool enough for that.

Goggle glasses or Piercing Glasses would work.

For canids, it could rest on the extra fur on the side of the head.

Re: How would furs wear glasses?
God, can you imagine trying to put contacts on with claws?
"Wow, you have a lot of scars by your eyes, what happened?" "well I accidentally sharpened my claws and tried to put my contacts in."

Re: How would furs wear glasses?
Oh my, those pierced glasses are the craziest thing I've seen today. I'm still debating over whether they're really cool or just really creepy.

Re: How would furs wear glasses?
Hmm the glasses with a bit of spring in the parts going around the ears pretty much cling to the sides of my head... actually they tend to ride up a tad and hover quite contently just above my ears ^^
But if its specifically for furries then adding a little toothed comb to the ends would prevent them from sliding, so long as they are not being jostled around.

Re: How would furs wear glasses?
I think that all glasses would have to have a strap like ski goggles and swimming goggles.
