Oh, I got this pair from my local optometrist's office.

Haha, noted! I am absolutely the sort of person who would do that. I'm probably just going leave them on most of the time.

Thanks!

I'm glad this thread has helped!

I'd say I do have have sensory issues, but they're mostly audio/feel/taste related, not visual. That being said, I've been indoors most of the time so far, so we'll see how the sun affects me.

I have a pair of over ear headphones that I haven't tried with these on yet. I put them on and at first, anyway, they seem to be comfy enough. Does seem a bit quieter than usual, though.

Thanks!

Between work and home, I spend almost all my time on the computer! I never even considered that a separate longer distance pair could be helpful. Good to know.

My current glasses are plastic. This was me mostly cheaping out, but I did worry me a bit that metal would be uncomfy. I might get a metal spare just to see if I prefer that instead.

Thanks~

I'll look into that, thanks!

Yeah, I imagine it gets pretty nasty. Thanks!

Yeah, I saw some of the prices online, and yeah, going to buy some spares there. Thanks!

I got fortunate that with my first pair, they seem to fit on all those criteria. Will definitely keep that in mind when buying spares. Thanks!

Well noted, thanks!

Yeah, they seem to be sitting well on my face now... at least I haven't felt any discomfort. Not sure if I got lucky, though. Thanks!

All good stuff! thanks!

Yeah, this was part of the reason I made this post. Like, I was really afraid that I'd stupidly scratch up my glasses because I didn't know how to clean them properly. Thanks!

Yeah, the prices there are def better than the clinic's were. I bought one of the cheaper pairs they had and it was still $60. Thanks!

Ooh, neat, good to know. Thanks!

That's actually really good to know. My glasses came with a magnetic sunglass attachment, so I'll make sure to make use of that. Thanks!

Check the screws and whatnot on the hinges periodically. Sometimes they go loose. Depends on the glasses.

I did buy rather cheap glasses, so I suspect I'll run into this issue eventually. Thanks!

Yikes. Well, at least we have something easy to point to when we're asked why we're defederated from lemmy.world.

I agree completely. Our collective minds in the U.S. have been warped by decades(if not centuries) of propaganda by the rich and powerful. Things aren't exactly going to change overnight. Change needs to come from the bottom up, and that's not going to happen until we start working together to build a culture of compassion.

I hope that this ends up being the right decision. The Dems must really, truly think they can't win with Joe Biden. Kudos to Joe for setting his ego aside, I know that can't have been easy. Let's unite behind whoever gets picked and beat Trump.

I'm doing a replay of Dragon Age Origins. Slogging my way through my least favorite part of the game(the Deep Roads) right now. I'm not that good at the game, so for the harder encounters, I've cheesed them by having one member of my party run forward to aggro one group, then run back to where the rest are in order to deal with them one group at a time. If I let my party fight normally, they accidentally aggro multiple groups and they get overwhelmed. That plus saving after every difficult encounter is helping me get through it.

My warden is an elven mage; she's mostly built for casting ice magic and healing. I usually use Alistair as a tank, Zevran as a dual wielding damage dealer and Leliana as an archer/support unit.
