I got my filters today!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #521 of 816 |
I can see a lot better on the computer now. Still not perfect, but
I guess computers always emit some flashing (even a very nice LCD
monitor).

I really wish I had got the frames bigger. I always went for big
frames with regular glasses because I figured I could see more. And
I finally stopped wearing glasses because I felt any frame
obstructed my vision. But in reality, I don't see that much at a
time so I could just turn my head. So they told me the small and
cute ones were in style and the ones I usually get are for men. But
the thing with these is, I already notice I can't walk outside
easily.

I'm supposed to get sunglasses too, but I'm not sure I'll be able to
afford them this year anyway. They were going to be wrap around.

But these are really nice inside. And outside if I just put my hand
over the top, it's really cool looking at things and they have space.

The thing I can't tell though, is that my room seems darker now, is
it supposed to? I mean, to most people they walk in and tell me I
have a very dark room (I only have a very small light in it). But
before it seemed bright to me still and I wanted blackout curtains
and only my single light.

Anyhow, here is a pic of me with my new filters:

You can get contact lenses instead of the glasses? That would be kind of cool. Then they wouldn't have all the light leak I'm guessing. I still can't decide...
