I’ve had glasses now for less than a year. Prior to that I never wore corrective lenses, save for that time in 3rd grade when I lied about needing them because Janeane from my class had glasses, so I needed some too. I got my vision checked when I found myself with horrible headaches and squinting at night to drive. After I got the glasses, all was better.
But now the headaches are back. I find myself squinting again behind the wheel. I think it might be time for another eyeball exam. My peepers have apparently crapped the bed.

Eyes are strange beasts. I’ve had glasses for years. Last time I had my eyes checked, my vision had actually improved. You’d think the decline would be constant, but I guess not.
Hey, I got glasses for the same reason in April. When I told my dad (who is a doctor and therefor thinks he knows everything) he was all doubtful like maybe I just made it up… why would I make that up and then spend $300 on something I didn’t need? Bah!
Here’s something to look forward to: when you hit 40 you’ll need bifocals! I refuse to get them. The bitch of it is that I need the contacts to see at a distance, but can’t read small print up close anymore. When the contacts come out, I can read just fine. I never want to go back to glasses full time though, so I continue to wear the contacts and just got some OTC reading glasses that do the trick.
If it’s any consolation, women in glasses are hot! ;-)
I’ve needed glasses since I was 5, some 35 years now. I was briefly tempted by RK surgery but the one friend who did have it (”when it was over I reached for my glasses on the table next to me & then noticed that the table was in perfect focus”) is back to wearing glasses.
Besides, everyone always assumes people with glasses are smart(er).
Oh yeah, if you ever consider laser surgery, there’s one doctor in particular - a pretty well-known one - that you don’t want to go to under any circumstances. My eye doctor says you wouldn’t believe the number of people who’ve come to him with major problems after this clown’s botched surgeries. For reasons beyond potential libel I can’t say here who it is. Send me an e-mail if you need to know.
That is something I could never do. No lasers near my eyeballs, please thanks.
