Glasses wearers

I have a new pair of glasses, i normally change them every couple of years. Some I bond with straight away, some take a few days maybe more.

How long does it take you to get used to them

They are a new prescription so everything is a bit blurry, my eyes have always been bad +6.25 right eye +6.00 left eye

I've stopped wearing my new ones, I tried them for a few weeks and couldn't work out why I kept getting headaches so I'm back with my old ones and it's magically gone away. Can't be bothered to argue any more with the opticians who are always convinced they are right and you are wrong. I'm not getting any more, I'm just going to get my eyes lasered and be done with. Glasses are a pain in the ****, end of.

Did your prescription change?

Laser treatment only lasts 10 years dont it

it's indefinate nowadays

previously they shaved the lens at the front, so it grew back

nowadays they open it up and take a chunk out of the middle, so it lasts for ever

that's the way i see it anyway, no pun intended.

I doubt there is a laser on earth powerful enough to do my eyes......."she canna take any more captain"

I'd rather have the 10" CRT that I can look at, rather than the 35" TFT that pokes me in the eye in the morning .

If you think you've got something 35" trying to poke you in the eye first thing in the morning, then i think you either very lucky or your prescription is far too strong

takes a while for me to adjust to new lenses, how long this takes depends just how much my prescription has been increased....next one will be big, i havent been in 1 1/2 years. may also have to fork out for lenses that are thinned aswell, as my current ones are thick enough around the edges, stronger ones are just going to be mad

i can only hope one day soon my eyes stabilise so i can get the damn things zapped

It starts to get expensive when you go for a high index lens, i have gone from a 1.67 to a 1.74 frames and lenses were £340 my prescription has not really changed much in 35 years, my opticians has my records since i was 5.
