I like you, thought it wasnt that bad. As they gradually got worse i lost reference of what good sight was. I am enjoying it.
the most simple things give me much pleasure, I looked at the moon last night!
Quote: "Really? Where did you get this information? I've had to wear glasses since I was 8. For the past 10 years my prescription hasn't changed."
That is good to know, I too bought into that myth, and was afraid to wear glasses for fear of my eyes getting lazy. ive been reassured that there is a period of degeneration(with or without glasses) and then they get a little better, and i will never need reading glasses(that is a relief)
Quote: "I do love that feeling of getting a new pair of specs, though. Everything is suddenly almost uncomfortably better and more detailed. "
yeah, i nearly threw up when first wearing them, I kept looking into the distant regions and where there were supposed to be blocks of color there was detail, it took my brain a second to realize there was more information there to be seen. I still have to consciously make an effort observe distant detail as my brain switches to abstract mode at distance.
i must say that I was afraid that once i got used to wearing them I would have to keep wearing them, so if i stayed used to my vision it wouldnt matter, but damn, after putting them on i realize ive been seeing next to nothing for years.
very cool, thanks for your congrats and reassurances.
one side note, now i can see faces sooooo much further away its a little awkward while walking, recognising and making eye contact with someone when there is so much time until we pass by. before, by the time i had seen their face they were directly passing me, and now i realize people look at each other a lot and from great distance, its strange.
I guess i'll get used to it.
Sometimes I like to use words out of contents
