Who here wears glasses?

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

I've worn glasses since I was 5 and I just turned 23 today and got my newest pair last year after 6 years with my old ones and I had no problem adjusting. The brain does take 3 days to adjust so that might be it.

Happy B-Day Quake...

2012 marks the 20th anniversary of me getting glasses/contacts. I've dealt with them every day since the summer of 1992. My mom new it was time to take me to the eye doctor, because we were at an Orioles game in Baltimore, and I couldn't read Cal Ripken's batting avg on the outfield scoreboard from seats on the 3rd baseline area.

Anyway, I've had several prescription changes since then (at age 33, I've leveled out and haven't had a change in over 5 years), and I've never had the kind of issues you're having.

I'm getting lasik done this year. I'm so tired of dealing with vision stuff.

I've been thinking of going the lasik route too. You'll have to let me know how that goes.

I would suggest consulting with an expert on picking out which of the eye treatments are right for you, since there are a variety of techniques available.

I can't wait acutally. And after a few years it will pay for itself given the cost of glasses/contacts/solutions/drops etc.

A close friend of mine had it done a few months ago, and he won't shut up about how great it is. My dad also had it done, and went from having absolutely awful vision to 20/15. I'm aiming for late June/early July.
