I've needed glasses since i was 7 but developed a habit of not wearing them except for reading/tv/cinema, although i do kind of need them. So over the years i got used to the world of the slightly out-of-foucsed street scapes, pubs, clubs etc... relying on fuzzy outlines, good hearing and general alertness to get by. It was a vanity thng at first i guess plus i never like the idea of contacts.... Now i've taken to wearing them all the time (although the optician said i showed neither improvement nor worsening) and ya know what........ its a goddamn pretty world out there folks! I can actually see the details of peoples faces and recognise friends from far away. Its like a new drug and its a bloody great buzz just going down the shops.... Nuts! |

I did EXACTLY the same.. I kind of like the old world, where everything was fuzzy.. I don't like this sharpness... I did at first, but now I long for the old world (but my eyes have gotten worse after I started wearing the glasses.. before, when I didn't wear them, everything was fine, but now I have trouble reading letters that are more than half a meter away. |

Yep, wearing new glasses is like a visual augmentation... some cyborg stuff :D I only really need 'em for reading off white boards (I'm fine with blackboards) at a distance, but seeing as I have them anyway, I sometimes use them for driving. |

My eyes were already pretty bad when I got my glasses (apparently I'd been eating too much ). The difference really is amazing. A good way to experience it again is to share a hotel room with people who don't pay attention and somehow manage to step on your glasses while opening the window. I recently found a pair of old glasses I wore when I was 6 or so and hyperopic, and looking through them hurt. |

I actually had a sort of reputation at my old school for my habit of just buying a pack of toast a day and eating it dry. I stopped doing that at some point (I couldn't stand the stuff anymore after a few years), but even people who weren't part of the school then seemed to believe I still had that habit, years later. The fact that I'd merely switched to real bread fresh from a bakery (still warm, best thing ever) may have helped uphold the rumour. |

what I mean is, the skin around my eyes gets sortof swollen so my eyesight gets a bit tighter. |
