holy FUK is everything sharp I couldn't read a license plate 15 yards away before I got these and now it's like I'm living in a new world I'm 33 and have astigmatism/near sightedness probably from being jacked in to the net since 1998 glowing square staring all-day after the optician tested me in the machine he let me try the strength out with these weird ugly steampunk goggles and I swear it was like I was on a 2 gram shroom trip, that sharp and vivid It took me a while to adjust to the distortion, the floor felt very off at first but now its fine anyway, what I really posted this thread for is tips on keeping the lenses absolutely spotless and clean I've been using dish soap and cool water with a microfiber cloth but its a loving hassle and usually I end up smudging them because my fabric has already absorbed some grease is there an easier way??? can I just let them air dry or something?? are there kits?????? Theenks for reading fellow four-eyed dork(s)

ordered some lens cleaning spray. the instructions say washing debris off with cold water and then using the spray with a microfibre cloth is the way to go! also supposedly you t-shirt and or kitchen roll paper users are monsters according to the info I read!!! it can scratch your lenses if there are dust/whatever particles on the textile I luckily have 6 months of included insurance if they're damaged in any way - lost, dropped, scratched - they'll replace them thanks for the help fellow nerds

MoonshineWilly posted:I too marveled at tree leaves when I got glasses in grad school. I remember walking across campus thinking, “Holy poo poo, I can see individual leaves!” Ahhh loving pro tip right here Gonna use this with the circular wipe tech on both sides at once some goon mentioned edit: Klyith posted:For me one thing that made a huge difference was getting some glasses with anti-reflective coating on them. When I started using them, I felt like I could never gets them perfectly clean and was constantly annoyed. I finally figured out the real problem was that small reflections from my eyes or skin were making a "haze" on the inside of the glasses that felt like dirty glasses. Buying a decent pair of non-prescription readers with anti-reflection made a huge difference. Yeah these have that coating and it rocks, looks cool in the right light too - like a purple sheen My rx is R -0,75 "sphere" and L -1,25, "Cyl" -1,00. No clue what this poo poo means lmao AEMINAL fucked around with this message at 09:16 on Aug 21, 2023 |

cruft posted:I just moved from normal glasses to "progressive lenses" (fancy bifocals) and it was a similar "holy poo poo this is awesome" moment. Hell yeah. I was just at the liquor store and the clerk didn't even pause to think I was below 20 to ask for ID - something that usually always happens, unless they recognize me. This is Sweden and there is only one state-run monopoly liquor store where they are INSANELY strict with checking ID. Went from baby-face to kind of hot geek, thank you glasses.
