Glasses

[purple_alicorn]

After around a decade of wearing Hard contacts (and only hard contacts) I finally decided to get a set of glasses again.

The reasons were twofold, firstly I'm going overseas, so I want a pair to wear as back-ups in casde anything happens. Secondly I'm almost blind with out my contracts in, so hopefully glasses would motivate me to clean my contacts more, as with them I can actually >b>DO stuff instead of having to go to bed as I can't see anything.

And I mean anything - I'm around -10/-8.75 in glasses and -8.75/-8 in contacts.

However, as a result of this, even with THIN lenses - towards to edges I have coke-bottle bottoms, and at the moment, these curves are distorting everything I see, so that I see straight lines as curves... I feel like I'm living in a hobbit hole ;)

However, the ability to take my contacts out and give my eyes a rest while still be able to read is worth this inconvenience! It's just going to take a little adjusting to.

Woo glasses! Get some stylish ones (or at least as stylish as possible given your coke-bottle lenses) ;)
