We all knew this was bound to happen sooner or later.

Lately, I've been noticing my glasses are getting too weak. Had a sight checkup a couple of days ago because I'm getting contacts and whoa! It's worse than I thought, and mostly on my right eye. Astigmatism. Party ( Read more... )

Själv har jag blivit informerad om att hornhinnan på vänster öga är toppig och att detta måste korrigeras med lins. Så hädanefter ska jag ha den ekonomiskt så förargliga kombinationen linser och glasögon. Det hela kan väl sammanfattas med att glasögon är en soft accessoar men att synfel är fail.

Ooh, det bästa av två världar!
Word, om glasögon. Jag vill operera, men det får jag ju inte förrns synen har stabiliserats. Och det verkar eländet inte vilja göra.

Astigmatism? Välkommen till klubben! Har dina glas (obs, bara glas, inga bågar) sprängt 1500-kronors vallen än?

Man kan ju byta glas i dem hos vissa optiker, även om det beror lite på modellen.

Jag har snäll astigmatism, så hittills har jag klarat mig med billiga glas. Venne hur det blir nu.

Jag vet inte om det är lönt att byta glas i Internetglasögon för 400 spänn. Men de turkosa ska jag nog fixa.

Jag skaffar alltid bara ett par neutrala glasögon, de håller ändå bara 2-3 år. Plus att jag skulle glömma att byta iaf
Den här gången slog jag på stort när jag skaffade solbrille-clips till :)

This is why I only ever have one pair: my eyes change too frequently to justify having more! I have heard that they're supposed to get better / level out when you stop being a student/reading all the time. Become stupid, and you'll be able to see again!

Although I wear contacts most of the time, the glasses I currently wear are a prescription from over 10 years ago. I've reached the age at which my vision is actually starting to improve-although my close vision is getting worse.

The stronger your prescription, the longer you'll be able to use it-but in any event, don't worry: your eyes are in a constant state of flux for the rest of your life.

I was informed by the optician here, which I experimentally visited after being really disappointed with the last three places I visited, that the reason I tilt my head to the right all the time (something people have been commenting since I moved to sthlm and got a new prescription) is because they corrected the astigmatism wrongly, actually as wrong as it could be. He turned the lens and I went "Oh! It is clear now!" in an amazed voice.

I am probably going to invest in new lenses for the three or four of my pairs (my eight pairs.. Hrrm.)that I wear the most but luckily I actually work for one of those intarweb-cheap-glasses-sites so I can do it relatively cheaply at work. Still costs enough that I am grumpy about it. Meh.
