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.
Be careful when cleaning them, otherwise you’ll get scratches. Even expensive ones. Don’t use those wipes with alcohol, it’ll damage them. Either use soap and water with a clean cloth or sponge and dry by dabbing with kitchen paper. You could also get an ultrasound cleaner, which is like a little bath you just put them in. Don’t wipe them when they are not wet.
Yeah, this was part of the reason I made this post. Like, I was really afraid that I’d stupidly scratch up my glasses because I didn’t know how to clean them properly. Thanks!
