All at Sea

I got new glasses today. I hate getting new glasses.

The reality is that for each individual part of my vision, these are a marked improvement over the old glasses - both my distance and near-field prescriptions had changed slightly, which was causing me some problems with reading in particular. So moving to new glasses was a necessary step, and both areas are improved.

The problem is that my eyes are used to the existing glasses, and in particular the various transition points between the various areas, and in the new glasses they're all slightly different. Which means that any time I look at something other than dead ahead, or any time I change where I'm looking, my vision swims until it gets back to normal.

That's all to be expected, of course - I get this every time I have to change my glasses, which is why I hate getting new glasses. But it's never fun in the interim.
