daOn Tuesday, I went for my 2nd of five visits to the optometrist as part of a research project on eyestrain. They gave me my new glasses, which initially made me a bit... alarmed... because the effect of turning my head was a bit like... that Hitchcock depth-of-field movie effect? You know the one I mean? Anyway, they did funky things to these glasses. I think it's a bit like progressive-lens bifocals, or maybe they're n-focals since it also does something odd side-to-side.
The research student tells me my eyes will figure out where to focus for close-up and distance work, which is slightly worrying, but the fact that I'm essentially adjusted to them this morning is at least promising.

They have an option that if the study-glasses cause problems, you can bail out, so I figured any option was better than the eye-strain I was having with my glasses. (Which was, on the whole, pretty bad; I can say now, since all of my strain symptoms have gone away with the new glasses!)
I'm glad my glasses never have changed quite that much!
