Today I went to Rotterdam to have new lenses put into my glasses.
I have been exited about this ever since I was told I would have eagle eye vision :)
I got in the store and was greeted by the nice optician.
She sat me down and went to work on my glasses.
Just 5 minutes later she was done.
She put the glasses on my head and the world changed completely.
The world became so sharp that I didn't know what to do with myself.
The amounts of detail I could see is sort of hard to describe.
I felt sort of lost in the store just looking at things.
She told me it could be a while before I got used to them completely.
I got home after a pretty sharp car ride (looking at all the number plates) and sat behind my computer.
Then I noticed something very odd.
The monitor was no longer straight.
It seemed to run inwards towards the bottom (like it was bend).
I went to the TV and noticed the same.
I then looked at several square objects around the house.
One of them a big old wooden chest.
With glasses it was so sharp I could see all the little details in the wood but it was 'bend'.
Without glasses it turned in to a more blurry box but straight.
I decided to call her up and explain what I was seeing.
She said it was normal and it will go away in time.
(While I'm writing this it has gotten less but it's still there, I hope she is right).
I went to the park to walk the dog.
It was magical.
The leaves of the trees were so sharp I stopped at times to look them.
I think the last time I looked at trees this intensly was when I was high on mushrooms years and years ago!
I was also surprised by the amount of depth I could see.
It was just cool. I was enjoying myself.
It started to rain half way which was nice because it's bloody boiling in the Netherlands.
I stood in the rain for 5 minutes enjoying the sight while Trevor was doing his thing.
When I got home I lid the green egg.
My dad was here too and we had a great meal.
Now after having these new specs on my head for about 9 hours my eyes are bloody tired.
Seeing all the details is hard work and I guess my brain is making overtime adjusting to a new world.
The optician asked me to give her call in a week to see how I am doing.
I hope by then everything is straight again!
What I am gonna do is enjoy every moment of my new vision.
You often get used to new things rather rapidly and it becomes the new norm after a while.
Enjoying the time before you get there is important.
And I will!

I use specs from six standard. Obviously it was transparent. When I wore it seemed Somewhere elevated and somewhere low of ground. After some days it has normal and sharp from before. That was my experience. Your's will be perfect.
Sir, You are looking so gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your some sweet memories of life.

It is common problems if you change the lens. Your eyes and brain need a little time for adjustment. It's great that you have a sharp vision. Hopefully soon you will overcome the bend problem. Meal is great. Have a nice time @exyle

Great attitude to enjoy our new vision while it's still novel @exyle.
My new glasses always take a while to get used to so hopefully everything will settle down in a few days as your optician suggested.
Glad you had a nice evening with your dad and enjoyed the rain earlier. We could do with some more here! 😊

I’m really happy for you. It’s almost like you are discovering completely new world with all these details. Have you ever considered laser eye surgery? My brother in law used to wore lenses, after quick and safe laser surgery he doesn’t need anything. His vision is 20/20 now. Few more of my friends have done it as well.

This is awesome. There's nothing like seeing the world with new eyes, being able to enjoy the sights you have forgotten about. At times like this, you realise that the world is truly beautiful.
I believe in a week's time, the bend you experience when looking at square objects will disappear. Well, I am not an optician, so what do I know?

I also had this when I received my first glasses. The church is built out of stones, the leaves EVERYWHERE !
I had my eyes lasered. No more fuss with that -6.5 , eagle eyes now with no extra tools. Wish I had done it years before

I gave up contact lenses, glasses long time ago, my kids were little at the time in just a matter of 2 months I had to buy new glasses. I opted for laser surgery and it was the best decision I ever made not only my eye sight got to 20/20 but it haven't deteriorate since. Maybe is something you should consider
