For the first of the year I got new glasses. Not just one pair, but two. One pair will be for my everyday wearables. The second pair are sports glasses. Now I have only tried them once, but I hate these new sports frames.
I played soccer Monday night and found that it is going to take me a little time to get used to the new frames. The frames are big and black. Some of my vision is blocked off. It feels as if I am being forced into seeing through a tunnel.
This is really to be expected. I have not worn any corrective lens to play soccer in something like six years. Some would say I am blind, but I have done a half way decent job without them. Lately my old age has had me rethink this strategy. I also blame leo. He helped talk me into getting a pair. They are a good idea, but as I said it might take me sometime to get used to them.
I only wore them for the first half of the game. I didn’t do bad with them. I had to turn my head more often when covering people. The second half I ended up scoring a goal without my glasses on. It was still only the first time, I’m sure things will get better.
Why don’t I get contacts? This is a question asked by almost everyone I know. I have my reasons. The simple reason is that they are expensive, but that is not all of it. The second part is the most important part. In the past I have scratched my corneas. Not once, but twice. This is not a good feeling.
So the idea of me paying money to fuck up my eyes is just out of the question. Maybe one day I will try them again. It all depends on a few things. First I need to have some disposable income. My contacts still cost about six hundred dollars and I only get one set which they say should last a year.
Right now I have no plans on getting contacts, but who know what will happen later this year.
