I only have one pair of glasses so I don't have that problem. Every thing looks like poop to me.

Take heart! You may never get used to them. If you do then it's prpbably time for trifocals. :(

PS do you do the "head bobbing" thing? My coworkers had a lot of fun at my expense when I first got bifocals.

I have switched my contacts between eyes and couldn't figure out why I couldn't see.

I deleted two days worth of photo, in a workshop because they SUCKED. I was complaining to another photog and he said let me see what you just shot. He said that if those are out of focus, he was throwing his camera away. DUH, I didn't have glasses on. I only need them when I am tired! I forgot.

No lines is the way to go! No glasses would be even better, but then I would not be able to see.

My husband does this - DRIVES ME NUTS! ;-) He has vision issues, and frequently looks out the top of his eyes... it's hard to explain... he puts his chin down to his chest and looks 'up' a bit. He has glasses... does he WEAR said glasses? NO>>>>>>

I've embraced my outer nerd with my current pair of glasses (bold black frames). I'm near-sighted and have astigmatism, so I wear 'em all the time. I'm waiting for them to make me seem more aloof and artsy (and thus worthy of charging higher fees). Mainly they just help me see.

Never had your issue as I probably couldn't even find my computer without my specs on!

Princess wants me to wear those fasionable little "peep hole" glasses. I want glasses I can see through! I don't care how they look. I don't have to look at them, I have to look through them! So, I don't care if they are big as a picture window, I just want to see!

Just the opposite here... My regular glasses (bifocals) can't see the screen for squat so I have a pair of drug store readers that work just great for computer time. My problem is walking away from the computer without my REAL eyeglasses on and then finding that everything is blurry. Of course, I never realize that until I get to the far end of the house... or outside... or anywhere not close to the computer desk.
