Weird that you're having depth perception issues. Is it more at the
edges of the lenses? Inconsistencies can make some glasses 'fisheyed'.

Giant steps. The floor wasn't where my body thought it would be. So
much for over 40 years of kinetic muscle memory! Stairs were fun for
a first timer with glasses...

Interesting; I don't think I'm far behind you. 45 and getting tired of
having to slow down to read street signs!

I'm even worse, I'm seeing things in stereo.

Riding in contacts is easier for me than glasses, although typically I do neither. Easier in terms

Not at the age of 45 it isn't. His brain is hard-wired for glass-less
vision.

Here's a test. Take the youngest child you can communicate well with, about
2 years old. Ask him or her to look at an optical illusion, such as the
depth perception ones with identically-sized figures and parallel lines
going through them in a funny way to make one look bigger. Then ask 'em if
they notice a difference. Chances are they won't. They haven't had enough
experience with right-angled corners and such to notice.

They are light, they offer a tremendous improvement for my vision. I
feel a bit queasy every now and then. I think that's just a bit of an
adjustment period for me.

Yes, it should be gone in a day or two, max. If not, back to the
optometrist for an adjustment.

Oops! Sorry. I did indeed read your post though.

The visual accuity was something I was prepared for, but the depth
perception really caught me off guard.

My glasses are for things that are about 4 feet away and further.
Anything closer is a bit blurry. I have to hold things at arms length to
read with my glasses on, not so if I'm not wearing them.

Like was said in an earlier post I must be really hard wired for no
glasses, and this is "adjustment time".

I really did read your post, and even asked about contacts, but I've a
bit of a fear of stuff getting in my eyes...<weak grin>

hop that was what I first noticed.

In a day or two your brain should re-program itself. I heard once that
you can give someone glasses that flip their vision vertically, and in a
couple days things look normal again to them.

As a contact lens wearer I have to re-adjust every time I put the specs on.
