Well, that’s the question I’m trying to answer and here’s the progress:
As I told you before, I think I over did it on my first day. The second day I wore my new glasses for an hour and even that was pushing it, so I back off for awhile – I think my eyes were strained by the first day and really need to recover, so I gave them time until they felt okay again.
Then I started back on the following schedule:
Date |
Hours worn |
| Wednesday, July 9 | 1 |
| Thursday, July 10 | 1-1/2 |
| Friday, July 11 | 2 |
| Saturday, July 12 | 3 |
| Sunday, July 13 | 2 |
| Monday, July 14 | 4 |
And with the exception of yesterday, where I fell off the train (I think I was just tired). They have felt fine. No serious headaches like before. It takes some concentration to see, but it improves with time.
I even have moments where I can suddenly see REALLY WELL. It’s a little eery, frankly.
So I’m going to keep building slowly and see how it goes. I think there are really two things I’m getting used to here. One is the fact that the world is shaped differently, ie no astigmatism correction. I think this is where the headaches came from. The other is strengthening my eyes so that I can see well with the glasses on.
Since I’m extremely sensitive to not being able to see, I am constantly trying to see better whenever I’m wearing the new glasses, and as they become my regular glasses, I think it will just become easier and easier to see like I’m used to seeing.
Thanks for listening!
