I have new glasses.
I should probably say: I have glasses. I had glasses before but for distance. Which I never really wore anyway. Since I'm going away, I thought I should get new pair. Turns out in the past 3.5 years my prescription has changed, big surprise. So now I'm nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in another. And I have an astygmatism (sp?). So the eye doctor wants me to wear these new glasses all the time, not just for driving and movies. Yuck. No offense to anyone who wears glasses but I don't like this idea. But I decided to be a good doobie and wear them for a bit. I was told that the astygmatism correct might make me dizzy for a few days and then I'd adjust. When I picked them up, I wasn't dizzy at all, so no adjustment problems there.
Except now it's 3 days later and I still don't think I see distances as clearly as I did with my old glasses. I went back to the eye doctor and they told me that I should take at least a week to adjust to them, then come back if I was still having problems. I hope it doesn't take too long, because I only have 2 weeks left before I leave!
But I am wearing them every day. I am now a person who wears glasses. I still don't like it though.
