Sorry about the awkward title; I had a lot of trouble trying to word it.

Anyway, I got my first pair of glasses yesterday. I went in for my first eye exam in nearly a decade, and apparently I have mild astigmatism. So for the past day I’ve been getting used to the sensation of having glasses on (I never cared for sunglasses, personally; I’ve always found them hard to see in) and getting a touch of euphoria about how they conceal the brow somewhat. But then it kinda hit me that I don’t really know anything about glasses, having not used them until age 36. I probably should have asked some questions about it when I picked them up, but I was kinda sick and didn’t want to stick around there too long.

I know I could just google it, but google sucks now, plus, I may as well use the AskBeehaw platform, it’s pretty quiet.

    I don’t wear mine often, but I find that somehow the corners always get smudges on them no matter how careful I am to not touch the lenses. Keep a microfiber cloth around to clean them.

    I use EyeBuyDirect for my glasses and don’t have any complaints. They come in a box with a microfiber bundle to carry them glasses in and wipe them off with. Obviously since it’s online you’ll have to be careful about getting a pair that fits correctly, but if you get a temporary or cheap pair in real life that you know the measurements of you can find a pair with similar stats.
