Good points Praziquantel Send a noteboard - 24/06/2011 11:35:05 PM
I'm in a very similar situation to you. I started wearing glasses when I was about 6 or 7 and my vision just kept getting worse and worse. And I know exactly what you mean... after that long, glasses just feel like another part of you, like clothes or shoes. You indeed feel 'exposed' if you're not wearing them.

I think we have similar experience as far as vision goes, but have you ever had to make do without your glasses for a few days? While it did restrict what I could do, I was kind of impressed at how much I could do based on familiarity of the 'blur' that was in front of me, as well as my other senses. I managed to get through it because I decided not to focus so much on vision (which would eventually give me a headache if I tried to focus too hard) and rely on hearing, position, and touch. It seemed to work alright until I got my glasses back.

I've read it destroys your night vision. Do you need to drive at night? *NM* - 24/06/2011 08:53:36 PM 412 Views
It can impact it (create halos), but not necessarily destroy it... - 24/06/2011 09:05:42 PM 834 Views
I drive at night, but I do have a little trouble with halos... - 24/06/2011 09:33:28 PM 1024 Views
To be fair, I've had that same problem with contacts. - 24/06/2011 09:45:34 PM 929 Views
