First time wearing glasses, what to watch out for? (no pun intended!)

[Shady Pioneer]

Been prescribed glasses as it seems when I concentrate on things I get blurry vision, didn't really realise how bad it was until I had an eye test yesterday. So things like driving, gaming, using computers (including work) and pretty much anything else means I need to wear them.

What should I do to help the process of getting used to them?

I'll tell you what, it's like going from SD to HD.

Weird at first isn't it?! I found not moving my head quickly or too much helped, it will only take a day of so to get used to them! I would wear them all day at first then start swapping between wearing and not!?

Don't put them down, unless you put them in the case, somewhere sensible.

Remember where you've put them, if you put them down, but really, try not to put them down.  You WILL lose them.

Clean them with the cloth in the case, not your t-shirt.

Do NOT wear them while using a grinder.

Do NOT wear them while using a grinder.

or while having a fight with a chav

Thanks guys. Yes Nick it is wierd at first, still is but it's nice being able to see clearer, especially when driving.

Thom, you bumder.

Mr. H, I don't plan on putting them down apart from in the case, I've heard horror stories, and Chelsea always loses/sits/stands on hers, I'd rather not do the same.

may as well just loose them on the 1st day,  just get it over and done with it's going to happen anyway.

i had that same experiance last year, and its like going HD with added zoom function. i sat on mine and now one of the lenses pops out, and i clean mine with what ever T shirt im wearing, only use mine for gaming or using PC or playing Darts.

Get some small microfibres (or cut up larger ones) that you can leave in various areas eg car, jacket, work desk etc. Since I started using microfibres, I find even a tiny speck is incredibly annoying.

Don't wear them whilst at the pub.
If you do, be prepared to have drunken cretins coming up to you going "Lemme try on yer glasses, mate!" as they rip them off your face before you've had a chance to reply.
