Vision: a bit blurry
Aug. 1st, 2007 01:10 pmI've worn glasses since I was 7. Contact lenses off & on since I was 12. If you'd asked me a couple of weeks ago, I would have sworn blind that although if I look, I can see the blurry edge around the glasses (as compared to contacts, which have no edges), I'm entirely unaware of it most of the time.
Then I got prescription sunglasses, a fortnight ago (I lost my regular glasses so needed a new pair, & the sunglasses were on offer). And the first time I put them on was weird as hell - because I've never before worn sunglasses that had an edge round the vision. I wouldn't have predicted that I'd notice it - because I wouldn't have said that I notice it with glasses - but I really did. Most Peculiar.
It feels less odd now, but I still keep trying to look over/under them when the light changes a bit, & it still doesn't work. And now I'm more aware of the edge around the regular glasses, too.
[pokes at eyes with sticks]
Every so often I think again about the whole laser surgery thing. Still coming down as 'no' though (er, even if I had the thousands of quid required).
ION: thank you very much to everyone who made kind comments yesterday about Rowan.
