#2Do we know whether Chris regularly wears glasses or not?

#3I was wearing Glass every day, all day long; I would wear it to Starbucks; I would wear it to the mall; I would wear it driving, and I would wear it at my office. There wasn't a minute I didn't have it on.
Maybe that's the problem? I wear mine in moderation and I've never had any pain problems with it on.

#4I wish google was less opaque about procuring a google glass. I did their begging/twitter spam but was not one of the chosen few. They do not even release projections on when they will release more. They never email me even though I signed up for their list. Oh well....

I'm still on the fence about ordering my Glass. I wear glasses right now and I'm worried that a new prescription (I'm due) + Glass will cause headaches for me. How often do you wear yours?

#6I think this problem is fixable with technology. Or sometimes it can just happen to a small number of people, just like 3D glasses.

#7I was very disappointed with my Google Glass experience. Incredibly difficult to setup - it never synced properly with my Android devices, couldn't get it to scan my wifi network, and baffling controls.
Add to all of that I never found a single compelling use case. It was an interesting, but frustrating, novelty.

For a prescription glasses users, aren't they counted on to wear it all the time? (not saying the author is one, I don't know).

I often wear mine for days at a time with absolutely no problem. People are different; saying "never had any problems" really doesn't mean anything in this sort of situation. What's fine for you and I might well not be for others.

#10While I think Glass is a flawed concept, remember this is a single anecdote. This is not evidence of the product causing headaches.
