IA: I got my new glasses last week. I've not worn glasses regularly in over 20 years, but my far vision has deteriorated to the point where I can't see more than a few feet away without significant blurring. This means, of course, I can't read signs, see faces, etc. My eye doctor said my vision wasn't that bad and I needed to only use my specs whilst watching TV, driving, or needing to see things in the distance. So I tried wearing them only for these things, and it's lead to splitting headaches. So I have to wear them all the time (which I think is going to ruin my vision).
UP: I like my frames, but this justifies me 1)getting contacts 2)possibly having corrective surgery, which I would love. Not the surgery so much, but being able to see well without glasses would be great. It constantly amazes me how much I couldn't see before glasses, so I look forward to the even better vision with contacts or possibly surgery.
