From "Superstar" to "Glasses-wearer 2003"

The lower-Bavarian "Superstar"-contestant
Daniel Küblböck is "Glasses-wearer of the Year".
The board of trustess "Gutes Sehen (Good Seeing)"
honoured the Eggenfeldener on Monday in Cologne
with this title, because he's a "real glasses-personality"
with a face "that isn't imaginable without the
trademark-glasses". Küblböck specially concisely
accented his personal style with the glasses.
His example shows that "wearing glasses is fun and brings sympathy".

Daniel's vision problem was found when he was
12 years old, says the lower-Bavarian.
"Then I was wearing contact lenses because they told
me at school that the glasses don't fit to me."
But now he loves his visual aid: "I found glasses that fit
to me and I stand out with them.
Today I'm wearing glasses because they belong to me."

He bought his current glasses for € 250 (about US$ 250) in Eggenfelden. For public events Küblböck has
2 models [one in dark red, one in dark green; comment by the webmistress]. He additionally wears 10 other models
and sun glasses in his private time: "They are in fact very garish." Mostly proud he is about the fact
that he made it on many title pages with his glasses: "Many publishers don't want to work with glasses-wearers."
