Don't wear them if you don't want to?

I don't usually wear my glasses while on the computer.

Right eye astigmatism here.

Glare reduction or contacts.

Either that, or lose more of your vision.

4 eyes losers

I hate my glasses, most people say I look better with them but they just get in the way, constantly, I'm in fabrication and engineering, they always get scratched or broken or get in the way when I'm wearing a welding helmet or they slip off or fall off or just get in the way in general.

I can't even wear closed ear headphones as they push the frames into my head and it actually gets unbearable over times, sucks for long gaming sessions.

seeing might be a problem then

>>7288763
OH U

>>7288772
What did he do BEFORE diagnosed then? Since he's complaining it seems he prefers it.

Contacts, faggot

You wouldn't gib a guy with glasses, would you?

Nearsighted fag here. Anything beyond a foot of where I'm sitting/standing is a blur to me, unless it's big, such as a trash can, monitor, big text, etc.

My glasses don't affect me in the slightest for browsing or reading the screen, don't hamper gameplay. Just remember to wash em occasionally (2-3 times a week) or they get a bit blurry from the dirt, which actually makes a small difference when trying to read details.

Obviously he went to his optometrist because his eyes were fucking up, but he didn't know why.

20/600 and 20/700 without correction + astigmatism.

Doesn't affect gameplay unless you also need bifocals/progressives, in which case the non-reading part(s) aren't big enough if you sit your ass right in front of the screen. Or anywhere in a real IMAX theater.

I bought my glasses online and got a specialty anti-radiation coating that really helps ease eye fatigue from reading stuff or working for a long time in front of a monitor.

I don't have astigmatism, but my glasses-wearing has done nothing but help my vision. That should come as no surprise, as that's what they're designed to do.

>>7288784
My visions been getting progressively worse over the past 3 - 4 months, so I went & got it checked out.

>>7288794
The eye doc said it wasn't nearly bad enough for glasses.

>>7288808
Thanks, brah.

>recently been diagnosed with astigmatism
you must be new here

Been wearing glasses since elementary school. If there's some wonderful glasses-free world of vision out there, I guess I'll never know about it.

>>7288834
Nah, brah.

>>7288827
How much did that cost, and di your insurance cover it?

>>7288833

WATT

It's only bad with far away pixels.

Like, distance from the screen. If I have my computer running through my 52 inch television, yeah. I've gotta squint a little to see each individual pixel. It sucks. Great for games, though.

But on a desk monitor? Glasses are fine. The only gripe I have is cleaning them.

Also, contacts are an option. Makes everything crystal clear, you've just gotta wear them lightly for the first couple weeks. Then you can keep them on all day, and they even sell some that can stay in your eyes for an entire month without taking them out.

Look into it.

>>7288848
lol woops.

*It wasn't nearly bad enough for contacts

>>7288846
*did

Fuck tonight.

>>7288857
Yeah, but contacts are generally god tier regardless.

I'm nearsighted, of course, so I'm not sure how contacts for astigmatism people work but I figure they're the same.

>>7288871
I've read online that there are special contacts for astigmatism, but this is irrelevant.

Also, any homebrew tips on reducing the glare from your eyes in the lens? its starting to annoy me quite a bit.

I have those same glasses op, but I never wear them because my vision is just fine even though I have one astimatism in one eye and loss of vision in the other eye, but I never noticed a difference other than everything was sharper on the screen, and i didn't like that very much for some reason.

A little late for this perhaps, but...

Kind of expensive but it's good.

install Gentoo in your eyes

>>7288819
JESUS FUCK THAT IS HORRIBLE

>>7288912
Oh shit. Those seem badass.

Have you purchased these?

>>7288734
>My brothers with /g/lasses, do your glasses affect reading the screen other than positively, and does it hamper any possible gameplay?
you'll experience vertigo alot.

>>7288949
God damn it, I already have problems with vertigo.

I could be wrong, but I believe most forms of astigmatism can be fixed permanently through eye surgery, if the concept of having your eyes sliced & diced and then put back together by a person whom you do not know doesn't terrify you entirely.

I have astigmatism on my left eye. I think I had 20/23 vision, which isn't bad enough to wear glasses so I don't know why I was suggested them. In High School, I tossed them out immediately when I got them. I don't know about my eyesight now. It seems fine.

Been using Crizal lenses for several years. They smudge fairly easily (despite the claims) but I have no problems with driving at night, using a computer all day, etc. (Normally you might see halos or rings/streaks around sources of light.)

Mind you, my vision is probably fairly close to >>7288819. I can't see shit without glasses so having a nice pair is very important for me. If it's just for occasional use you might not need this.

Anyone that sells Crizal should have a sample that you could check out to compare the differences.

>>7288983
Thanks for the tips, man.

i have a slight astigmatism. I MEAN STIGMATA LOL


i wear contacts anyway.

>>7288949 you'll experience vertigo alot.

Stop spouting bullshit.
