Finally got glasses like 8 years ago. What finally pushed me over the edge was when I was sitting in the bleachers at Fenway Park and could barely make out the digital scoreboard behind home plate and my friend sitting next to me could read it clear as day.

I've only updated my prescription once, earlier this summer.

Same really. I’m not blind as a bat without them necessarily. I can drive fine as long as I don’t have to read signs from afar.
Same. I can get by without them if I need to but I'll be squinting and likely have a bad headache.

I tried to put them in and failed miserably. This was right before Covid hit and I never went back to try again

i'm not sure i would be able to physically wear them. i never wore sunglasses b/c i dont like things that close to my eyes. i think i would just squint all the time
you've never worn sunglasses? that would drive me crazy.
maybe when i was like 14 for a day or 2. i've worn a baseball hat for probably 50% of my entire life. if the suns in my eyes i turn it forward.

I’ve never worn them either. Though lately, while driving on a sunny day, I’ve noticed my eyes get tired from the brightness.

I’m not a fan, but some this summer when the sun was killing my head. I’ve worn them a few times running when it’s bright, but I don’t like wearing them otherwise
