Sorry about the awkward title; I had a lot of trouble trying to word it.
Anyway, I got my first pair of glasses yesterday. I went in for my first eye exam in nearly a decade, and apparently I have mild astigmatism. So for the past day I’ve been getting used to the sensation of having glasses on (I never cared for sunglasses, personally; I’ve always found them hard to see in) and getting a touch of euphoria about how they conceal the brow somewhat. But then it kinda hit me that I don’t really know anything about glasses, having not used them until age 36. I probably should have asked some questions about it when I picked them up, but I was kinda sick and didn’t want to stick around there too long.
I know I could just google it, but google sucks now, plus, I may as well use the AskBeehaw platform, it’s pretty quiet.
Between work and home, I spend almost all my time on the computer! I never even considered that a separate longer distance pair could be helpful. Good to know.
My current glasses are plastic. This was me mostly cheaping out, but I did worry me a bit that metal would be uncomfy. I might get a metal spare just to see if I prefer that instead.
Thanks~
I can say that with metal frames, you’re going to have better luck finding a comfortable lightweight frame at a brick and mortar store, and they’re going to be expensive. I personally would not buy metal frames from an online store again. The cheap ones I’ve had are awful.
