So I finally got some glasses.

I had an astigmatism, 20/50 in the left and 20/40 in the right. Got my glasses today.

Should I expect to be kind of freaked out when I wear them for a while? almost like I'm dizzy. And I can tell that my eyes are working hard.

Yeah that'll happen for a while. It takes a bit to start "tracking" with them on. Do they work well with the coboy hat?

The day I received my glasses I well remember thinking "Wow!! The trees have leaves now!!" Eye glasses have easily been the most useful investments of my life and (beyond fogging and being rather expensive) have never caused me issue. YMMV.

20/40 and 20/50?

I don't think you'll end up wearing the glasses much.

Yes. Especially when you look in the mirror & wonder who is that bespectacled old f*k starring back at you.

I did it mostly because I was squinting looking at the computer and my face was starting to hurt.

jeremy i think one of the best eye glass tests would be to stare at the "chest thread" today.


this will show you how effective your new glasses are.


the value added bonus is now by wearing glasses, NOTHING CAN POKE YOU IN THE EYES ANYMORE!


your eyes are the most important organ your body has. for without eyes you cant see what the other organs are doing and sometimes that can get kind of SCAREY!



always wear safety glasses around pointy objects!
