Hmm that’s interesting. Do you think they just got the prescription wrong initially? Hopefully the glasses help me with my headaches lol.
This is the first time outside of being offered during school, that I had a proper eye exam done. Man didn’t realise how expensive the whole thing gets if you end up needing glasses. Don’t think I would’ve gotten tested if I didn’t have insurance.
Honestly didn’t even register that it might be eye related. Optometrist said that I could potentially move onto permanent glasses as well if I wanted (apparently my far vision is slightly off as well and I have astigmatism) but I just couldn’t get myself to start wearing glasses full time lol
I had changed the default zoom on everything from 100% down to 80% so that I could squeeze more onto my screen for work, and thought that was the reason for some of the issues, and so when I really started noticing it, I went the full other way and went to 120% zoom lol.
Still found myself squinting and things being a little blurry (though I couldn’t really say with any confidence if it was actually blurry or if Ai was getting in my own head lol - though that was confirmed today when I went for the eye exam)
I’ve always had pretty great eyesight, but have been having regular headaches and neausea midway through the afternoon when working on the computer.
I thought I’d get my eyes tested, and was told I nead some reading glasses (albeit very weak). Can’t believe I’ve gotta wear glasses now :(
Interesting regarding the headaches. Been doing some reading online and it seems that some optometrists sometimes recommend a +0.5 add (very minor correction for near sight) for a lot of people that do a lot of computer work etc, to help their eyes with some of the heavy lifting. This is the exact prescription that I got so hopefully it helps.
Yeah since my test, I’ve since learned, through reading online, that a lot of people recommend those online retailers. Here’s hoping I won’t need to buy too many glasses in the future, but if I need to do so, it’s good to know these things. Plus we’re going to Japan this year, and it seems they have a lot of affordable glasses and services where you get your prescription glasses made within a few hours! None of this waiting for a week plus business lol.
