I'm past school and haven't had LASIK, but am still thinking seriously about it. I wore contacts for awhile, but have been sticking to glasses for the past few years.
I don't mind the fashion part, but wearing glasses (or contacts) gets really annoying with anything to do with water--swimming or even rain. I'm also a bit paranoid I'm going to lose or break them when travelling or camping (I should buy a backup). I find dirty lenses distracting and it's a huge pain to keep glasses clean. I also find using SLR cameras annoying. I can adjust the diopter to get it in focus, but I have to take my glasses off when I hold it to my face.
I guess the grass is always greener on the other side.
- Yhippa 10y ago> wearing glasses (or contacts) gets really annoying Add sports in general and VR goggles to that list
- TeMPOraL 10y agoIndeed. I blame having to wear glasses since primary school for my general dislike of sports. And all the VR gear I ever tested is not compatible with glasses (also weird to use without). Even watching 3D movies in cinemas is... tricky.
- robin_reala 10y agoI climb in glasses fine, and my PSVR seems completely compatible with my frames. YMMV?
- unexistance 10y agosome 3d glasses in cinemas seems to fit my glasses just fine, Sony-made AFAIR
- pfranz 10y agoOh yes! I can't believe I neglected that. I often work on VR project at work. Prior to that I often worked in stereoscopic film which had the same problem.
- int_19h 10y agoReally, add anything that involves eye protection. E.g. shooting sports or hunting. Protective prescription eyewear for those is rather uncomfortable - due to the shape of the glasses themselves, the lenses are usually inserts, and have to be put in an awkward location where they're very close to the eyes.
