How it’s going:
This is my prescription:
I think it means nearsightedness. I’m mostly fine with close-up objects (like my phone/computer), but things 10+ feet away are blurry. The glasses help! Nice for driving and being inside large buildings.
As my vision got worse, I honestly thought I just had watery eyes a lot, and that caused the blur.
I got prescription sunglasses, too. I got a buy-two discount from Warby Parker, where I went in person to pick out glasses, plus my insurance covered part of it. It was a fairly nice experience, and the glasses arrived relatively quickly. I already want to buy an alternate pair just for styling options.
I’m trying to ride the big change to my face with an attitude change too, leaning into the “personality-free dad in the school drop-off line” I was born to be. OK, I’m off to make banal comments about newspaper headlines over white toast.
Looking good Chris. Welcome to the nearsighted party. I got hit with that little treat very early. (14 years old)
a couple of years after i moved from theatre to software development, I was having headaches daily, and issues with reading. My wife asked “when was the last time you got your eyes checked?”
Anyway, I’ve only had glasses for about 7 years? life changing.
I kept increasing my terminal font until I tried to do a soldering project and realized I couldn't see a thing
turned out I needed bifocals. oof
good luck :)
As a fellow “personality-free dad in the school drop-off line”, welcome to the club.
Aren’t you worried that if you post your prescription online someone could steal your eyeballs!?
Welcome to the glasses club! I’m super nearsighted myself. Been wearing glasses since I was like 8.
