yeah, but i did get lightweight lens and frames-- the suggestion was made that the fact my frames are metal and thin around the ear, that might contribute to the pain.

it's not really headaches though, so much as intense temple stress.

I wholeheartedly believe in the power that lies within books and reading them... but does anyone have scientific reasoning behind it? It's not that I need to be convinced; it's actually that I'd like to have more scientific factual evidence as to why reading is good for you when I am faced with thes...

it's cool checking out books in a lot of the new libraries here... you just walk into this space age pod and it scans all your books for you-- no stamping system or anything. kinda sci fi in a way.

Stress can make this kind of headache worse too.

i'm pretty much only stressed about this too. which is funny.

and why is it hurting now MORE than the first 2-3 days i had them???

also, as far as getting used to them goes: i don't plan on wearing them *ALL THE TIME* whatsoever. My plan was to wear them half the time, or only when I need them: distant stuff (classes, driving, movies, etc). Otherwise I didn't intend to wear them. So if I don't wear them at all times, will I not...

Yes and yes. Since you've never worn glasses before you have to get used to the way they feel on your head and to your eyes. I've worn glasses for years and I went through this the last time my prescription changed. I'm talking about a little pinching and a few headaches for a few days. If it lasts...

It sounds to me like a bad prescription. Headaches and feeling weird for the first couple of days is normal. Past a week its not. I would go back and see if they'll retest your eyes for appropriate prescription. Or maybe go somewhere else and see if you can get a second opinion. Out of curiousity h...

I've never worn glasses; I got my first pair last friday. They didn't seem to hurt at first, but come the first of the week I was having temple aches and whenever I'd take them off, I felt relieved. So I took them in and got them adjusted (for free at eyemasters). I couldn't tell the adjuster whethe...

Yeah, something like 50% of adult males and 35% of adult females over 18 NEVER read books. ever. That's sad. yeah, very much so. my dad used to read books in his day... but now with a big screen TV and cable providing things such as Fox News, CSI, and crappy sitcoms, that's all he ever does when he...

Since when did a thread on here have to inform me that the contents within would be humorous?

HUMOR!!!

That's freaking sad. Libraries are one of the greatest things ever-- free knowledge. How can you go wrong?

i know she is european. that's what i'm saying-- just because she is doesn't make her any more interesting to me. Why is there any pretense in being something you are? If she's banal, she's banal, but her continent is no chink in the armor. because there is art that makes a matter of where it came ...

i drink tap pretty often. while not as good as purified water, i figure tap water is better than NO water, right?
