I was all right with wearing glasses; when I got to the point I needed two ... well, three ... different prescriptions, I was still OK. Then I developed cataracts and my eyesight began going (did you know - they also distort your color perception? turns out everything had a yellow hue with them). So ... I had the surgery and I'm all right with the result - I don't need glasses to walk around, where before I was so nearsighted it wasn't safe to walk around without glasses. I do need glasses to read; I may have to continue wearing glasses when driving. The downside is that, because they give you replacement lenses with two different prescriptions, I can't read anything without glasses ... which is why I stand in the grocery with one eye squinted closed trying to decipher labels. And, for me, it exacerbated an existing eye condition. There's a slight - very slight - chance I'll lose the sight in my left eye. BUT! without the surgery I'd be blind in both eyes before too long, so it was something I had to do.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Do you just need the parts that go around your ears a little more bent? Because any glasses store should do that for your for free if you walk in and ask.
When they are more bend, they just form painful grooves behind my ears from sliding forward.... I think I have an oddly shaped skull.

Huh! OK, then, I dunno.
Sophia, I can totally relate. Fitting glasses on me takes many visits and millions of adjustments and they still slip down too much.

I used to have that problem until I caved and started buying really expensive frames.
I really really hope I don't need glasses, because I have no idea how that and the allodynia are going to cohabitate.
My frames are really expensive. Wah.
I've worn contacts full time since I was 13. I like the look of glasses, but every time I wear them for more than a couple of hours I get a headache and feel sick. I also am not a good candidate for LASIK due to asigmatism. Fortunately, I do really well with contacts.
Huh. In today's edition of Things I Did Not Know About LMFAO:
- The two members are related, being uncle and nephew.
- That dance they're all doing in the video to Party Rock Anthem is called the Melbourne Shuffle, and originated in my city.
I have a list of things I didn't know about LMFAO too!
- it's not just a net acronym?
Will you look at that?
I'm trying to suss out the best place to get whatever in my grocery shopping, and I'm currently irritated that my treat for the week is more expensive at Ralph's than at Bristol Farms or Whole Foods. WF does have NY steak for $19.99, but that's their guaranteed vegetarian stuff. Ralph's makes no such promise--it sells it for $19.49 near me, whereas the "normally friendly to cows we're about to kill" WF NY steak is $17.99, the same price it is at Bristol Farms.
Also, the Ralph's steak was pretty damned disappointing. I would have considered sending that back at a restaurant. And I still have one piece left....
