My fairly cheap Superdrug (that’s SuperDRUG, not-DRY) glasses broke last week, and I’ve yet to replace them. I’ve worked quite nicely without, as I’m only -2.00 in my worse eye, so screen use is generally okay. The only issues I’ve encountered have been seeing who’s down the end of the corridor, and reading information screens at the station.
Now, a fair old while ago I tried contacts again for a friend’s daughter’s 16th birthday party (the first time being for my wedding, many years ago now), and I’m tying with the idea of giving disposables again. I wore them for a day over the weekend, and the only issues were insertion and removal, both of which sucked. The main things that tempted me were that my old glasses were always a bit skewiff, the cost (and slight faff) of buying nice glasses, and that I do prefer my appearance without glasses. A nice wee extra was that a colleague told me I looked younger without glasses…
