Also just got glasses about 2 months ago. I didn't know the world could be so highly detailed. I never knew the TV in my living room was so vivid. Spent a good day just mesmerized by it on the couch

It's been years for me, but I still remember. I was having trouble reading, and my friend suggested I try on their glasses. It wasn't a perfect ~~subscription~~ prescription obviously, but that sudden moment of 4k life is what convinced me to go to the eye doctor

Damn, subscription services really got out of hand, even your glasses have one now

I had the opposite reaction. When i got a prescription, I went from 1080p to 4k. I could see and read just fine, but I can't see fine details.

Then I could see all the pores and blemishes on people's faces, and it was kinda frightening. For someone to see that their whole life, it's probably normal, but for me, it's like people were wearing uncanny masks, and I couldn't get used to it.

Also, glasses gave me a headache like no other.

you either misunderstand the word opposite or you misunderstood the post. thats exactly what the post is about lol

also its normal to have a headache after starting to use glasses for the first time. i got lucky and didnt have that but its very common. i heard it happens because of how different it feels to look around just with your eyes (not turning your whole head around) when ur not used to glasses. i could be very wrong, i just remember whoever worked at the place i got my glasses from said that i might get a headache unless i move my head everywhere iook

They meant opposite take on the experience. It wasn't a positive experience, which the OP suggests.

[–] Oka@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 months ago

What I meant by opposite was that I had a bad time after getting glasses, not a better ti.e like the others. It was a miscommunication on my part.
