The guy at the optician who did the evaluation looked about 12, so I questioned(to myself) if he was even capable of making such a decision, but I have better than 20-20 vision with my glasses, so......
It took me about two weeks to get used to mine, now it just seems fine.
When I first got them, I was having pains in my neck, from cocking my head back to see things like the computer screen. I really didn't notice it that much, but my five year old was imitating me the other day, and he had his head all back, it was funny to see how they see me.
Have you considered the surgery? I have, and will look into it one day. Around here, I think it's about $1500 per eye, and my insurance won't cover it.
The type of work I do, I have to wear safety glasses, and our company pays for the prescription ones, but they don't offer too many "cool" frames. So at work I look like Buddy Holley with an attitude while working on the computer.
I hope they work out for you. Before you know it, you'll be used to them, and those grandbabies will have sticky prints all over them.
