I had contacts until my eyes didn't like them anymore (always dry and painful) so I got used to not having corrective vision for a few years. You cope, you think it's fine, you don't know any better. So what it takes a bit longer to read highway signs etc, they get closer anyway. Getting a 21" monitor (CRT days, huge) and using a projector to play FF7 should have been a clear sign :) Anyway finally giving in, it was an amazing experience to see clearly again after all that time. A world of detail opened up I didn't think possible. How can my brain process all that information at once. I was literally simply walking outside to marvel at all the detail. Never again without. Glasses aren't perfect though, hard to keep clean and free of scratches. Contacts are out and I'm not sure about eye surgery in the long term. I'm getting measured for new glasses this Monday (nasty scratch on my current one right in the middle) looking forward to it. |
Fuck contacts, there is nothing normal about having plastic resting directly against your eyeballs. It's fuckin wierd, uncomfortable, and yeah they do dry out. I could never wear them and not look like I was hammered, stoned, or both.
