@Cassandra @monstreline I was extremely nearsighted + heavy astigmatism before the vision correction procedure. I was always worried about breaking my glasses and being effectively blind for days, so I took extra good care of them. Glasses off when I sleep.

@mayintoronto @Cassandra the dream is vision correction! I’m farsighted with heavy astigmatism. I’ve reached the age that for most people is reading glasses but for someone already farsighted who has had the ability to accommodate most of their life…as that accommodation deteriorates, the hyperopia it hid spirals fast. Right now my prescription is changing twice a year. I know it’s time for a new one because I keep thinking “I need to put my glasses on, I can’t see properly” but I’m already wearing them. I get being worried about breaking your glasses. I’ve been ordering the cheapest ones possible so i can get a backup pair but cheap online glasses are a pretty recent development.
