Can wearing glasses make dents in your skull?

[seaglass]

I have some dents in my skull right behind my ears that were never there before. I just started wearing eyeglasses in the last year and have noticed the dents in the past month. The glasses don't feel too tight.

I know lots of people who wear glasses and have never heard them complain about dents. Is this one of those embarrassing things that no one talks about?

Do your glasses give you skull dents?

1. sure but they're not permanent

it isn't like, keep making those faces and your face is gonna freeze like that, bunky

when i have dents i bitch to the guy who adjusts my glasses and he (once it was a she) fixes

life is too short to live like that, go for it

14. That 'face is gonna freeze like that' is NOT bunk, it's TURE!!11!

It must be, I heard it on FoxNewsChannel.

2. I don't have them behind my ears but I do get nose dents

but then it's only at certain times. I think my face swells some from sinus problems. I had one pair that the earpieces were closer to my face and I'd get temple dents.

3. Not in your skull, no

The pressure from the frames can make temporary impressions in your skin/fat/muscle.

4. mine have almost disappeared since I went to contacts, and lost

a bunch of weight.

5. The dents are in the soft tissue, not the skull. Get the glasses adjusted.

6. It really feels like space between bone where the dents are

but maybe it's always been soft in that area and I didn't notice before because it wasn't dented.

I bought the glasses at a drugstore so I probably should get a loose pair.

7. Unless you have a severe and dire medical condition, there are

no spaces between the bones of your skull.

8. No but I'd get temporary oily , shiny, nose dents

Contacts really are better. I'm glad I got over my sticking-things-in my-eye fear.

[seaglass]

11. Yep, I have one of those too. I assumed it was temporary.

I only need glasses for reading, I can't wear them when I walk or drive so I don't think contacts will work for me.

9. I have them too, but I don't think that's a dent in the skull

just in the head and the fleshy tissue behind the ears. I don't think bone is involved.

[seaglass]

10. Well I feel better that I am not the only one. It just doesn't feel like

there are fleshy parts on my head, feels like bone and a thin layer of skin.

I am now wearing the earpieces pointing towards the top of my head so I can even out the dents.

12. Yup, I have worn sunglasses since I was a teenager

mind you the heavy framed kind like Vuarnet or Raybans. I have major dents behind both ears, I think that is cartilage back there?

Now my reading glasses have something to rest upon. LOL

No worries!

13. Sure. If you run into a wall fast enough

15. You can get nerve compression injuries around the ears

Lots of nerve traffic there. Glasses that make dents above or behind your ears could well be crushing fat, skin, muscle, blood vessels and nerves in those areas. Get 'em adjusted post haste.
