Twenty Four posted:literally can barely do anything without contacts, glasses are too heavy to wear for very long without getting a headache and are basically just used for "get to the bathroom to put contacts in" Yeah "normies" don't really understand this, glasses are a pretty unpleasant option for those of us with crazy bad vision. They're heavy and more importantly the lensing makes your peripheral vision all distorted so it's even kinda disorienting. You can get used to it but even then it's kinda annoying, makes you feel kinda funny and makes you have to turn your head more to look at stuff Hooray for contacts! |

Renegret posted:That was not boring it was very educational. I just got my first pair of glasses about a month and a half ago and I had no idea what they were talking about with this -.75 stuff. Thats a pretty good point. I haven't had that happen, but having sudden contact trouble while driving is pretty scary. And yeah I wasn't eligible years ago but maybe they have figured out how to do it now? The price is still an issue though, especially with some pretty necessary big purchases comming up for me that I also can't really afford. alnilam posted:Yeah "normies" don't really understand this, glasses are a pretty unpleasant option for those of us with crazy bad vision. They're heavy and more importantly the lensing makes your peripheral vision all distorted so it's even kinda disorienting. You can get used to it but even then it's kinda annoying, makes you feel kinda funny and makes you have to turn your head more to look at stuff I can relate to all of this. Even with titanium frames, lightweight super ground lenses, and having the lens edges laser cut down or something, glasses are still super uncomfortable and things like "looking left or right with your eyes more then a little bit" isn't really in the cards. I'm pretty used to the peripheral distortion though since my eyes have been garbage pretty much my whole life, even though it was untreated until I got to school. I was one of those "can't read the blackboard from the front row, even though I know how to read" stories. If it wasn't for modern optics though, I don't think I would have been able to hold any of the jobs I have ever had, so yeah, hooray for contacts!

alnilam posted:Good for you, I'd be legally blind and probably dead from a magoo scenario gone wrong, i can't even see if a car is coming to cross the street Yeah your prescription is pretty close to mine. "Just using your eyes" isn't a thing we can do. Like I can't really walk around safely unless I am in a familiar place like in my house where I know where things are, and even then I can run in to things. "Who left that chair pulled out dammit?" The best way to describe it I think is that I pretty much just see a blur of colors, and can sometimes make things out when I already know what it is. "Thats the television because thats where the television always is." "What is on?" "Uh, sounds like baseball?"

I can pass the test without glasses too but being able to see the world clearly is just so wonderful. The first time I went to see a movie with glasses on was incredible. Before glasses I'd have trouble focusing on the screen and I'd have trouble following what was happening if there was a lot of movement.

umm deep dish peat moss if you're too sight impaired to drive a car i don't think "move to a place where they'll let me drive" is the right solution :/ Sorry about your uncorrectable vision problems

Bad Eye Chat - doing things by feel a bunch and leaving things in specific places so you can function. Like I am sure lots of people do this stuff but it is probably because of habit not necessity. - Put the remote in the "remote spot" and can turn the TV off or change the volume after just waking up. Using the channel guide to pick a different channel? No chance! - Get drunk or whatever, go to bed, wake up, and reach for where you normally place your glasses that aren't there, then you panic and just stumble into the bathroom to put your contacts in via muscle memory so you can find your glasses, or have to ask for help finding glasses. - The shampoo goes on the left and the conditioner goes on the right. *Goes to take a shower and first thing dumps a bunch of conditioner on head and doesn't realize it until it obviously doesn't feel like shampoo in your hair* *sighs, someone moved my shampoo and conditioner to different spots again* The last couple doesn't happen a bunch but it does make me appreciate the shampoo and conditioner bottles that are different colors, or where one is upside down from the other. I'm not even that old, just unlucky and my body is conspiring against me!

Edit - I mean I used to work with a girl who used some hair oil and didn't really wash her hair and it still looked amazing and smelled nice but I don't think it was a "just use conditioner only" thing. I think that would just make my hair too greasy. Twenty Four fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Apr 6, 2017

Yeah the long hair is there and has been almost forever, part of why I am even more confused. Edit - eye and hair chat, sorry, I will keep this topic going in the shower, where I am going now to wash and condition and deal with contacts.
