I've been happy with contact lenses for more than 20 years, but I guess I can wear glasses again if I have to... it doesn't sound as bad now as it did before, mostly because I haven't seen "right" for several years now, because of that darn presbyopia.

i sympathise with you, florence. i only started wearing my glasses all the time quite recently (a couple of years maybe ?). when i was younger i had perfect vision, but it's been getting progressively worse with time (and working all day on the computer doesn't help, i'm sure). now, if i'm not wearing them, looking across the street or in the distance it's a bit blurry, and it's worse when my eyes are tired. it's really disconcerting, i'm still not used to it. my ophthalmologist said that in a few years i will start getting presbyopia (?? that *does* sound weird, it's "presbytie" right ?), so then the two defects will probably cancel each other out more or less.
i hope you get used to your new lenses soon. if not, you could get some very stylie glasses ; i like mine quite a lot, actually, i just wish i could still see everything as clearly as before (with or without them)
