Well, it's official as of today. I need glasses.
Went to the eye doctor today. I have acute stigmatism in both of my eyes, but my right eye is also nearsighted. He tested me with that device with the lenses, the one where you tell if it's better or worse, and after he figured out the perfect corrective lens, he took out the lens, and told me that I was now just looking through a hole at the eye chart, and I couldn't see a GODDAMN THING on the eye chart!! It was soooooo blurry. Then he put the lens back in, and looking at the whole chart and objects around it seemed like I was looking at the world in HD.

I really don't care that I need glasses now. I knew it was inevitable. My whole family suffers from poor vision, and I was the last holdout in my family to not have glasses. I need good sight if I want to be a decent artist in the future, so I really need these anyway.

I bought a pair of flex-frame glasses, because I'm such a clumsy sonofabitch, that I just know I'll be breaking the pair sooner or later.

2. Some advice..
Buy a cheap replacement pair. After you have them for a while it sucks ass to go without. I lost mine a few months ago and it took about two weeks to get them replaced. OMFG, it sucked. Now I have a back-up pair.
