It's now day 6, and day 4 and 5 have been pivotal. Day 4 was the first day when I realized why I never wore glasses in the first place: they are damned uncomfortable. It might just be me, but when I was originally told to wear glasses back so many years ago, I hated it. They irritated my ears and nose, and were always a hassle.
And yes I asked for contacts, but who gives a 10 year old contacts? Back all those years ago, nobody. Not like some punks nowadays.
Anyways, I digress. Day 4 was the first day where the irritation hit the bridge of my nose, and I debated whether or not I wanted to wear the glasses to protect my eyes, or not wear them to not have those damn imprints destroying my sinuses from the outside.
You should know, of course, that while many people wearing glasses regularly suffer from sinus problems because of their glasses (according to one optometrist), their noses aren't exactly a big problem after awhile.
Which, of course, got me thinking. Who would want to buy glasses made specifically for people who spend ungodly hours at their computers and don't already wear glasses? Getting used to these are hard enough. Do they come with a subscription?
Once again, I digress. Day 4 was spent away from the computer until late at night, when hours of Crysis Warhead (review incoming shortly) and Stalker Clear Sky (also coming shortly) were played. For the four hours I spent on both games, I had no problem with my eyes whatsoever.
It was later on, when I decided to hit a few tunes with Rock Band 2, that I didn't have the glasses on and was...let's just say "meh".
Day 5 was spent similarly, with far too much time on those two games than is recommended. While my eyes were fine, my nose was really becoming irritated.
Even now, on Day 6, I've only worn them for 20 minutes and my nose is bothering me more than it should. I can easily feel the strain on my eyes with the brightness and contrast of the monitor at 50%, and when I put my glasses on it fades away.
Perhaps there's no way to please me, but I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place on thise one.
