glasses and salah

[Salman Al-Farsi]

Assalam Alaykum

Was just wondering if people take their glasses off or keep them on when praying??

[Al-ghurabah]

dont wear them..

[Ebony]

:wswrwb:

It would depend on how much it interferes with their Salah, particularly when in Sujood ? (pressure of glasses on bridge of nose ? :confused: hazy eyesight isn't really an issue...unless it gives you a headache? )

Most people I know keep them on.

The few who remove them, leave them lying infront of them during their salah or in their bag/pocket.

[Salman Al-Farsi]

dont wear them..

dont wear them in salah or not at all? :scratch:

[Hafsah]

Assalam Alaykum

Was just wondering if people take their glasses off or keep them on when praying??

lol...i was wondering the same thing y'day...cos my specs were annoying me!!!

don't wear them for fajr though...too sleep to see clearly :rolleyes:

[Salman Al-Farsi]

all my life I have prayed with glasses on and they are all slightly inbalanced. the other day I went to see my optician and she said I should take them off when praying.

Yesterday, for the first time I took them off for maghrib and then after salah I couldnt find them. I took another pair out cuz i was in hurry, later when I went to pray Esha/taraweeh I took them off and left them in front of me. this old uncle jee did not just walk in front of me while I was praying, he stepped on my glasses :(

Good thing I only went to the local one, and ended up walking home with a broken pair, couldnt see jack :( .. also the good thing was that was a spare pair. :up:

I recommend keep them on. :up:

[Al-ghurabah]

dont wear them in salah or not at all? :scratch:

only wear them when driving at night..

[Salman Al-Farsi]

lol...i was wondering the same thing y'day...cos my specs were annoying me!!!

don't wear them for fajr though...too sleep to see clearly :rolleyes:

My specs dont annoy me.

do you specs get inbalanced or slightly bent?

[Hafsah]

My specs dont annoy me.

do you specs get inbalanced or slightly bent?

my rimless pair annoy me the most :@

[Salman Al-Farsi]

[Al-ghurabah]

My specs dont annoy me.

[Hafsah]

[ibn suleman]

[Salman Al-Farsi]

How do you adjust them yourself? :scratch:

I lost all my rimless pairs :(

[Hafsah]

How do you adjust them yourself? :scratch:

I lost all my rimless pairs :(

erm...i know how to :D

lost?!wow..that cant be cheap..lol

[Salman Al-Farsi]

wear contacts..

My optician says I am not allowed to have contacts or I have to go on 3 month course or something :(

[Ebony]

I've always wondered this.....if someone could enlighten me :D

Doesn't it irritate you that you are dependent on your glasses to see clearly? :confused:

My eyesight is slightly hazy...not enough to warrant glasses (-0.5!)...but sometimes if I cant see something from afar...it really irritates me :help:

How do you cope with hazy eyesight? :confused:

[ibn suleman]

lost?!wow..that cant be cheap..lol

it can if you buy online :D

(i should work for some online company, and advertise- then i'd get payed :D )

Yeah I always wondered what people who wear glasses would do, but I noticed that most people tend to just keep them on during their salaah :up:

On the note of glasses, I think little kids who wear glasses look soooo cute :D

I wear contacts mostly but change to glasses sometimes when i arrive home. My home pair are annoying because they're loose now so always slip to the end of my nose when i'm in ruku/sajdah, so take em off as they're distracting. If i'm wearing the other pair that don't move about i'll happily keep them on:)

[islam..~*^rules]

i just dnt wear mine at all sumtyms
go around blind!!!!!!!!!! hehehe

Na'am Akhy- their the rimless type! But the frame itself is still waaay too thick for my liking you can get these really thin types like mine.

No the glazed thingy I have stays the same but protects my eyes as harmful rays from the puter etc. do not pass through.

[belal1]

i've been wearing contacts for a while, but since my eye's are messing up i had to switch to glasses. i forgot to take em off before I got into prayer and once i got into sujood i felt the pressure on the glasses against my head. very uncomfortable.

on one hand, i didn't want to ruin the new specs, but on the other hand i don't want to compromise my salaah. anyway i just take it off when doing namaaz now. I can hardly look at the point infront of me (where i give sujood) but it doesn't matter aslong as I can keep focus on the namaaz and not think about anything else....

[Orchid]

i don't like the thin ones..too flimsy


I used to have the rimless thin ones but everytime i'd end up losing them more often coz i couldn't see where i put them now i got rims again ah that's better...unless it's dark :rolleyes:

[Salman Al-Farsi]

I hve never tried contacts. Last time I had eye test, I asked if I can get contacts and they said I have to go on a course to learn how to use and look after contacts before they can prescribe. :scratch:

nO,. Somthing about them having to monitor the reaction of contact lenses.

[Hafsah]

nO,. Somthing about them having to monitor the reaction of contact lenses.

weird...try another opticians...unless you got some really mashed up prescription..shouldn't take longer than one session to fit the lenses...another to teach you how to use them.. (they probz trying to get loadsa money out of you :rolleyes: )

[islam..~*^rules]

i hav too wear my glasses at the moment coz ive broken my old ones and was using mt=y dads which gave me a hedake
ive never had to go thru a course for wearing my glassses even tho i was scared to wear them on
now i cn put my contacts in a sec :D :) :p

[Orchid]

[qwickmalik]

knocki ... knocki

[qwickmalik]

prayed with my glasses almost all the time, but since i got a new one this month, i've been careful abt praying with it.

i guess it's because its frameless and looks so fragile

yes the old one got a bit crooked

[Al Qadr]

I hve never tried contacts. Last time I had eye test, I asked if I can get contacts and they said I have to go on a course to learn how to use and look after contacts before they can prescribe. :scratch:

you shoulda gone to specsavers :rolleyes:

[oranges]

for those who wear contact lenses, how on earth do you get used to them? :scratch:

i went for a trial once and i cried the whole time :crying2: , my eyes just couldnt adjust. the optician made me wear them for a full 20 mins which seemed like hours, i was literally begging him to take them out :rubeyes:

btw, they were glass permeable ones (back in the old days :D )

[Hafsah]

btw, they were glass permeable ones (back in the old days :D )

no wonder :nervous:

[oranges]

^ apparantly my prescription was too high to have soft lenses.... but what about soft lenses tho' it's like having a huge spec of dust in your eyes, how can anyone get used to that?

i'm as blind as a bat but don't wear my glasses when i go out because of my niqaab. i want to learn to drive soon and i would definitely need to have them on otherwise i'll probably end up killing a few people...what kind of lenses would be best for me considering i have super sensitive eyes? (sorry if this sounds like i'm having a consultation with the opticians, lol)

[Hafsah]

^ apparantly my prescription was too high to have soft lenses.... but what about soft lenses tho' it's like having a huge spec of dust in your eyes, how can anyone get used to that?

soft lenses are very comfy...they settle in seconds...and after that it feels like theres nothing in your eyes

^ apparantly my prescription was too high to have soft lenses.... but what about soft lenses tho' it's like having a huge spec of dust in your eyes, how can anyone get used to that?

soft lenses are the most comfy lenses!
i hav many types of contacts and they ude to irritate my eyes but the soft lenses are really comfy tho. many people cnt wear soft lenses coz it irritates them but i gez that just depends on the persons eyes!

[Abu Mus'ab]

for those who wear contact lenses, how on earth do you get used to them? :scratch:

i went for a trial once and i cried the whole time :crying2: , my eyes just couldnt adjust. the optician made me wear them for a full 20 mins which seemed like hours, i was literally begging him to take them out :rubeyes:

btw, they were glass permeable ones (back in the old days :D )

They're very easy to get used to,i used to have a pair,but they met with an unfortunate accident *Roll Eyes*

I voted "I don't know" if I keep my glasses on. Which is rather stupid, cos then I probably don't even need them.

Basically I do both. Mostly I take them off because I don't want to ruin them. Sometimes little kids take them and run away, but I try not to fret and mostly they are returned in top shape, Alhamdulillah.

If I am outside, or I forget, and I leave them on. This isn't a problem because my nose is quite big (sticking-out-wise) and so they don't get pressed into the floor and hence don't get bent/broken. It might be more of a problem for those with more squat-noses (no names).

My sister wears her glasses to sleep, her eyesight is quite bad, she can't even see her dreams without them! I think if you are similar in short-sightedness it isn't a good idea to take them off because you will just feel vulnerable and insecure.

Sometimes when I wear lenses and do a sajdah it feels as if my eyes are going to fall out, really heavy feeling, although uncomfortable rather than painful. Can give a little bit of a headache, maybe its just me.

I hope all the chatter was useful.

I hve never tried contacts. Last time I had eye test, I asked if I can get contacts and they said I have to go on a course to learn how to use and look after contacts before they can prescribe. :scratch:

A course!? Did you lseem as if you were unreliable or hopeless by any chance?

Actually, I had two meetings to get the contacts in. My eyes were really sensitive to "violation" and I kept blinking to start off with. My siblings had a good old snicker at my woes. But Alhamdulillah now I ain't having too much problem - ha, showed them!

I misssss Salman al Farsi :( and his posts, his humour, inshallah he is keeping well :up:

I need to change my vote now, cos i wear it during salaah at times but leave it off most of the time during other salaahs :scratch:

Whats your prescription???? Is it in minus or plus. People with a high prescription have no choice but to keep it on.

hey sis is that a bit of pride/???/

i don't wear glasses so i couldn't say but just a tip for those who lose their glasses when they take them off (which i find hilarioous to watch as my sis is always doing it. she always walks arounf squinting then when she trying to find them and making a right fuss "has anyone seen my glasses?" and because she knows i find it hilarious i'll become the first culprit..."have you hiiden them ? its not funny you knw." hahaha but it is)

anyway my advice was have a special place for your glasses so you know where you've put them when you take them off, and if you take them off just to pray then put them next to your jay namaz.

oh yeah seeing as you know about glasses and stuff, one day i had left my glasses in the car and the sun had caught it in it's rays, when i came out and got it afterwards it looked like the glasses was scratched :| why does that happen? :rubeyes:

Well my dads a eye doctor and he sells glasses as well so i know quiet a bit.

Are you talking about the coating???

Do you wear a plastic frame??????

If you leave your glasses in the car where it's open to the sun's exposure you can warp your lenses and that will also deform your frame and sometimes change the shape of your lenses.

The uv raise from the sun could also be reacting with the coating on your lens.

I hads not! they just felt that way in my eyes, my poor eyes that day

coating shmoating :torture: it could be the coating thing, i got transition lenses remember, my frame is metal, i gave up plastic years ago cos it breaks too easily.

[$HugoBoss$]

errm waz dat? :scratch:

You don't know, guess where you got your glasses from they didn't explain it to you. It's a coating applied onto the lens, reduces glare, it's amazing for night driving, reading, watching tv and like viewing the computer and stuff. It has a colourish effect on the lens.

Yeah, don't ever leave your glasses in the sun, they can warp thats why.
