glasses update

[arguchik]

wow. i'm completely amazed at what a difference these glasses are making in my life. i don't fall asleep on my books anymore. i can concentrate on a text more fully and for longer periods of time--i.e. my eyes don't wander from the text as often, so i'm getting more reading done, absorbing more from it, and enjoying it more.

my eye doc was right. i had no idea how much i was working to focus, before. when i put my glasses on, it actually feels as if they are massaging my eye muscles. of course there are still problems: they constantly slide down my nose (i've had them adjusted at the eyeglasses store twice, and will be going back for a third adjustment on saturday); they are always smudged and also difficult to clean; and walking around in the pouring rain yesterday was a pain in the ASS because glasses covered with water droplets are a major detriment to vision, thus to navigating a world full of other bodies that don't like being run into (as well as objects i don't want to run into, and cars that i don't want running into me).

when the conditions are right, though, the glasses are a godsend. viva la vision!

i too heart the glasses. i've discovered that the world, which was perfectly acceptable before i got new glasses, is not worth reading without them now. good for you.

yay for technology! we are cyborgs, all of us.

the revelation i'm having--the huge *jump* in productivity--is similar to the one i had when i gave up my television in the divorce. holy shit! and i had no idea...
