I mostly only use my sunglass when I'm driving and when I'm outdoors. And usually when I'm outdoors, I don't really need to read / look at stuff that is up close.

So unless you have a need to look at stuff that is close by while you are outdoors (and thus requiring sunglasses), you can probably get by with just getting the regular single vision lenses for you sunglasses to look at stuff at a distance, and that will be waaaay cheaper than getting progressives.

Switching glasses and prescriptions back and forth fucks your head up so much though. Even identical prescriptions, switching from glasses to glasses that are different shapes require eye adjustments. If you were swapping from progressives to non progressive sunglasses I bet you’d get some wicked headaches.

This. My optometrist said I couldn't wear single vision for my sunglasses b/c my brain/eyes will be used to the progressives so I'd likely get the same headaches I got when I first switched to progressives. I tried wearing my old progressive sunglasses when I got my 2nd progressives and they really fucked me up after an hour even though the change was really minimal (I think it was an extra -.25 on one eye and a slight adjustment for astigmatism)

It's a shame that this forum is Canucks/NHL-biased.

I've been following the team since 2011. They're playing the best brand of football they have every played since 2011 and they're a team that has a great spirit about them. It's hard not to root for them.

I attended the LAFC game with my wife. It was the best sporting event at BC Place in many years and even my wife, who's not a big football fan, had a great time.

Thomas Muller has been the best professional athlete signing of any major Vancouver sports team in decades. He has truly embraced the city and being part of the team.

Copa90 did a great feature on the history of the Whitecaps and their impact on the city. Definitely worth a watch for anyone who calls Vancouver home, even if you're not a soccer fan: https://youtu.be/A6Hnk37Lwo8?si=9f07FwYXqgv89JT1

I'm the opposite of most of you though, things in the distance are blurry for me. Up close, I see just fine. It confuses my coworkers when they see me take my glasses off to work at my computer.

side note: it's nice to hear some of you are significantly older than me :D

He had a ranch in Montana and had worked several C-suite jobs at multi-billion dollar companies so spending $100 on a bottle of wine on a weeknight was just a regular day for him.

I think the CEL eventually went away on its own too.
