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.

    If you play sports and you don’t care for contacts, or if you swim, think about getting prescription googles. 100% worth it.

    I realise it’s a niche thing, but prescription inserts for VR headsets exist too.

    Even if normal glasses fit under the headset, keeping the lenses of the glasses lined up with your eyes and the VR headset’s lenses is a pain when you start moving about. You just clip those into the headset and problem solved.
