Comment on If there's a sort of "apocalyptic" event but there are still surviving communities, will people be able to make eyeglasses again, or are people with vision issues gonna be fucked?

  Same, I have astigmatism and near-sightedness, a brutal combination.

  Me too. Hey, ignoring the issue at hand, get weighted toric contact lenses. Just do it one time to try.

  When I did, I realized what trash normal lenses are. Getting the lens and astigmatism corrected on the eye results in some pretty dramatically sharp view. It’s crazy, I started observing the stitching on carpets and the hair in the shower. I had never cared for either thing because I just can’t see it normally.

    Yeah, my problem is the second you blink they shift away from perfect vision into garbage. It might be because I smoke cannabis. shrug meh, my stupid eyes…

      Yes, that’s where the weights come into play.
