people that take off  their glasses outside and are asked why are they doing it, what do you say?
do you lie?
do you say the truth?
going into vulnerable places without glasses is helping a lot my 'shemirat einaim' but i am not sure what to say.
any ideas?

I tell the truth. Any religious man will gain from taking off his glasses in some places even if he is normal.
The Blind Beggar is a character in Rebbe Nachman's story of the Seven Beggars.
If I view a woman as an object, I am powerless over lust, but I don't have to look.
I can guard my eyes.
I want to guard my eyes.
I do guard my eyes.
Why do I say these four lines?

I've never had anyone have even wonder why I was taking my glasses off.  I usually do when its so obvious that theres no hava emina otherwise.  let me ask you: Has someone asked you or is your yetzer hara making you feel self concious that youre doing such an act of tzedukus?

;D ;D
you are right! no one asked me, i was just thinking to myself that if i would see someone taking off his glasses when he gets close to some place when it is clear it is hard for him to see, it would look very wierd
