4 eyed Pete

So yeah.. Peter's getting glasses.. so happy! I always knew that my right eye was noticeably weaker/less focused so it wasn't really a surprise, especially how much time I spend in front of a computer screen, eyes focused intently on the small, fast-moving objects during a game of LoL..

But I always thought it was fine, that glasses wouldn't really make a difference because meh, my good left eye could carry the weight of the poor right eye.. but then... she gave me some type of device which would simulate what it would be like with glasses.. and man.. holy shit, I look at the screen and the pixels are so clear.

Hard to elucidate the experience... Closest thing would be going from watching a movie in a normal cinema (you think, meh, this is good enough for me, I'm used to it etc.) and then watching the same movie in iMax and realising what you were missing out on.. Or a more everyday experience.. watching a movie in blu ray vs watching a movie in standard DVD quality.
^_^

Pic related, my new pair of glasses.
So after that I spent a good 30 minutes choosing a pair of glasses.. until I finally settled on the above. Fits well, looks nice and yeah, slightly hipster but ah wells, I like them. Would have preferred something from Warby Parker or Oliver Peoples but this is close enough (although quite pricey at $440 or something with lenses -_-). Well.... we're only paying like $200 because health insurance covers the rest ^_^

Sigh, this post is so #firstworldproblems it hurts.. "my $440 glasses weren't the first choice I had in mind"

In other news.. I dunno, life's OK. Honestly can't be bothered blogging anymore unless I'm bored and have something exciting to post about
