I see the world differently now. It seems to have changed.

Okay, not much but just a little. I an now wearing glasses. I went to the eye doctor last week and she said I could have them, but they are not legally required. Getting them may help reduce the glare of nightime driving which could start to become an issue. So I got my prescription and now I have my glasses which I wear quite a bit so I can get used to them. The really difficult part is not getting used to the feeling of wearing them, they are not heavy and don't feel weird. The difficult part is that the world is magnified in one area but different just outside of that area. I still see all of it, but have to focus on the area within my glasses so I don't get disorientated. People with glasses probably don't remember this adjustment but being an adult learning to use them I am noticing this one.

One odd thing is that it is not as difficult when I have the sunglasses part attached as when they are off. I am used to sunglasses, but the difference without the sunglasses is very noticeable. I hope I'll get used to them soon.
