I am going to get glasses on friday. I never before had daily wear eyeglasses and I have some questions. I am quite shortsightseening... myopia that is Razz
Its like -2 on each eye If I would have to guess.

Basicly I am wondering should I get plastic or glass glasses. Plastic ones are more expensive but not much.
Any advices about what should I avoid etc?

Well for the glasses I bought, my lenses had a scratch resistant coating. I think you may need to ask for that as extra.

Don't worry. No gay shit with big black(or red or something) borders. Simple glasses. I just want them to be quite durable and not to obscure my view.

Lasik... Would love too but My eyes are not all that bad to spend so much money on it. Its very expensive. I would rather get best pc possible for this Laughing
maybe in a couple of years if I will get it all stright

there is no such a thing as best pc, so you would rather spend money $$$ on upgrading your PC each year...rather than invest in your overall health??

I only had -1.25 in my right eye and -2.25 in left but I had huuuge astigmatism.

Your vision will never improve and will only get worse.
Word of advice, I can give. Make sure to get anti-reflective ones if you seat in front of PC screen for many hours a day

Also I had lenses that change to dark color when there is a sun but those are quite expensive, paid around 1200zł in Poland

I plan to spend up to 400pln on glasses. Lasik is still too expensive. Offcourse I would prefer going for my health than pc - that is obvious, but I dont have that kind of money right now. Not for new pc or lasik Wink

As for PC - my pc is 5yo and thanks to glorious consoels, it is still a good pc. I cant imagine what pc I would get today for money ive spent on my baby 5years ago. it would be insanity compared to consoles Shocked

Go plastic lenses with anti-glare and anti-scratch coating. Plastic lenses weight less and can survive a drop.

Also for daily glasses that you will be wearing all day long go for about 70% of total eyesight, never do 100% or your head will hurt a lot by the end of the day.

You're italian, don't need to make excuses for it.

I've been using glasses since the late eighties or early nineties when myopia set in due to too much computer screen.
I would not get LASIK as long as I can see conventions of these eye surgeons and specialists who all wear glasses; if it's not good or safe enough for them, it isn't for me either.

Kio Yamato Titanium frames are the best i have ever owned. Very pricey though but i love em.

I like my plastic lenses because there so light. But mine even being coated still scratch quite easily. I replace my lenses often, there quite cheap.
