I thought this was how it was supposed to look for years

Hey buddy try scheduling an eye appointment next time funds are available, would be a natural next step (at least in an equitable world)

[dustydata@lemmy.world]

Prescription glasses expire as our eyes are constantly changing. You should get your eyes checked every two years minimum.

here is my messages from the first time I got glasses a few months ago

[aquatofana@lemmy.world]

ICL surgery was fucking fantastic for me. If your insurance covers it, I highly recommend! I had a bad astigmatism in my right eye, and now I see 20/20 in both eyes! Fucking game changer.

[flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

My prescription stopped changing in my late 20s.

I'm almost 40 so I know that time is coming to an end.

[peoplebeproblems@midwest.social]

You know it's been about that long. That's good thinking

[peoplebeproblems@midwest.social]

Funds aren't a problem, it's actually thinking about it and doing it.

So I guess I'm going to get an appointment scheduled lol

[raynethackery@lemmy.world]

Yep, that's when the nearsightedness and farsightedness start kicking in. That's the age I had to get my first bifocals.

[infynis@midwest.social]

Astigmatism can worsen over time. If you're having trouble, it's probably time to update your prescription

[aa5b@lemmy.world]

Yeah, my optometrist didn’t even sugarcoat it - went right to “and of course these will be progressive lenses”. WHAT?

[zidane@lemmy.world]

Wear glasses like a NERD? No thanks, I like my light spiky (also too poor to afford eye doc + glasses lol).

My Little Glasses: Optics is Magic

[fed0sine@lemm.ee]

I had ICL surgery with strong astigmatism and nearsightedness - I feel like I cannot see details of trees and fine lines like I did before with my glasses. It is honestly more than a little disappointing. I wonder if I gave the right verbal cues to my optometrist when they got the refraction measurements prior to making the lenses.

[happycampernz@lemmy.world]

Get polarized lenses

[lnxtx@feddit.nl]

Come on. Contact lenses could also correct an astigmatism.

Technically, no doc needed, go to the optic saloon and be examined by a optometrists.

[buboscandiacus@mander.xyz]

Wait

You aren't supposed to see the stars ?

[zidane@lemmy.world]

I could never wear contacts... I can't even put eye drops in without turning into an actual child.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

That day you put on your glasses at night and are like, "whoa! I can see!" is a game changer.

[higgsboson@dubvee.org]

That, or your glasses are dirty.
