Heh. Without glasses I'm around 20/400 -- can't even read the top line on the vision chart, and things start to get blurry about 4 inches away from my eyes. "I need glasses" is a bit of an understatement.
With glasses I'm at 20/20 and 20/25. While that's OK, the minification is a bit annoying. When I look over the top of my glasses, my screen appears about a third wider than how I see it through my glasses.
Contacts aren't really an option due to astigmatism, and I'm right at the outer limits of LASIK, making it ill-advised for me...
The only remaining option to get rid of the glasses would be implantable contacts (IOL's), but those are around $3000/eye, which is way out of budget.
So meanwhile it's the extra thin lenses and small frames (larger frames = thicker lenses)
(The flipside is that without glasses, I can see very clear at 2-3 inches away from my eye, and can read most of the microprint on the old Dutch banknotes without a magnifying glass)
