Today’s vibes are:

I am filled with the overwhelming desire to get Spamton glasses but my eyes are unholy crimes against nature and I haven’t any [[KROMER]]

Is there anyone else who has simple anisometropia (normal sight in one eye and farsightedness/nearsightedness/astigmatism in the other) who actually experiences pain when trying to focus your sight on things with the eye you have normal sight in closed

(I'm farsighted in my right eye so if I close my left eye and try to focus my sight with just my right eye open it starts to become straining and gives me a headache pretty fast)

I just had an epiphany

The past couple years I've started struggling with stairs, mostly when going down, which never happened before. I have to pay really close attention and look at my feet or else I'll fall down. I have, in fact, fallen down the stairs like two or three times in the past year or so and it never happened before

I sorta gaslit myself into thinking that maybe I'd always been a bit slow with stairs and just never noticed (pro self-deceiver here) and just tried to be careful and move on

But just now I was randomly cleaning my glasses and it clicked. There is a reason for my troubles.

Last year I went to the doctor to check my eyes and they noticed my prescription had changed after years of staying the same and now I've a pretty big difference in how well each of my eyes can see, like one of my eyes has far far worse eyesight than the other

I was warned it could take weeks or even months to get used to the glasses with my new prescription, and that there was even a possibility I might never get used to it, 'cause my brain would struggle to form a single image from what each of my eyes sees, due to the big difference in correction. The first couple weeks I was straight seeing double half the time, or feeling like the ground was swaying, because the brain struggling to form a single three-dimensional image CAN FUCKING AFFECT DEPTH PERCEPTION

Depth Perception. As in what you fucking use when using stairs.

It was my fucking eyesight all this time.

how didn't I think of that connection sooner

Guess who just found out that they have anisometropia?

my glasses were broken last weekend and while I'm waiting for my replacement I'm just glaring at the TV like
