Adjusting to new glasses is the WORST
It doesn't help that my prescription only works for things 4-5 feet away or further (thanks, presbyopia!) but the next step down that most opticians will do is "computer glasses" which only work for things 1-3 feet away, and what I *actually* want is something that works, like 2~8 feet and then is just adequate enough for distance that I can drive in them.
I feel like I would either have to lie on an online order form or negotiate with another optometrist to get those though.

IT does appear that I can convince my left eye to focus a *little* closer at the expense of, like, some migraines while my brain adjusts. (The longer I wear them the clearer my vision gets.)
And the new glasses are actually my prescription and not a copy of a copy of glasses that were correct ten years ago.
But I'm still frustrated. And headache-y. Ow. Ow. Ow.

@tess I recently bright my kid to get his eyes checked because he obviously need glasses. Doctor said she wants to check him again in 8 months, and check me too while we're at it. The worst is, I know she's right.
I don't wanna goooooooo
