So... It's official, I need glasses!
Tried on a few at the docs office, which of these do you like best? I'm not sure any of these are in the final running, I'm hoping I can find someplace cheaper to get them. Tho bcs golly gosh they're damn pricey!
Apparently it may help some of my double vision, which was getting super bad... I could barely read my phone for half the day and I have it set up to big bold font!
Apparently it might also help with my 3 week long headache and migraines so that is a huge selling point for me even though I'm really apprehensive about the investment cuz it's a lot of money and a big commitment!

And we all know I'm terrified of commitment.... Like I research things for months before I buy a new lipstick for Christ's sake haha but I need the glasses in a hurry because of the headache issue... so don't be surprised if I just start like a random live stream for input when I'm at the glasses shop because I have no friends to go with me 😂👌

Now in lies the fun of trying to find the time and health spoons to get myself to the store as leaving the apt is a massive ordeal these days but hopefully I can manage it this week because I'm losing at least half a day to these things! Even if I can get the pain manageable it still leaves me with lots of cognition issues, nausea, dizziness, light/sound sensitivity... I'm just a wobbly squinty mess haha so fingers crossed!

Also I know nothing about glasses, I'm feeling pretty intimidated and lost, so any tips or advise for finding your first/a new pair is super appreciated!

To the best of my recollection I have some astigmatism and issues with distance vision that may be the headache issue so that's the Rx I have now. But then he said I may need something for close up too but then those are transition bifocal lenses? How am I supposed to pick haha
Is it better to invest in a good distance pair and get a crappy pair for close up instead?
Haaaaaaalp
