Good morning friends and strangers!
I just got some new glasses and I'm really unhappy with them. My entire life I've disliked glasses and opted for contacts, but in the last 10 years or so, I've had some glasses that I've really liked and felt were stylish. Plus, I could see really well with them.
This year, my prescription changed quite a bit and my doctor and I decided I would get progressives. I went to a well-respected but pricy place since progressive lenses have to be done correctly and tailored to each individual. I hate my glasses, they are terrible! I can't read my laptop at all, I have to fling my head back (or lift the glasses up off of my face) to look through the bottom of the lenses, and then I can only see the top half of the screen. I'm making errors at work because of this.
I can't see distance well, either, I have to slide the glasses to the tip of my nose to look through the top part. And the middle part of the glasses, the part you usually look through, doesn't seem to have much correction at all in them.
Also, the frames are really heavy and start hurting my face by the end of the day! I don't know, they are like thick metal man-glasses or something.
Wish me luck I'm going back to see what can be done. Hopefully they will make it good, or I will start hating glasses again.
How about you? Do you wear glasses or contacts or both? Do you like them?
