I'm surprised they still make these. My mom got some for the whole family like 25 years ago, because she heard that they'd improve her vision over time. They did not. She's damn near blind, though lol
It's neat that they work well for you, what activities do you use them for?
I just got them today LOL, basically just bought them as a super cheap emergency backup should anything ever happen to my proper prescription glasses.
Although far from perfect, I'd say that my vision is about 3 times better while wearing them compared to my natural vision, but then again I'm extremely nearsighted, like 20/500 level nearsighted.
And yes I'm wearing them right now as I type my messages on my tablet. I'm gonna keep them on and try them out through the day, save for any driving, that's a no-go, while I keep my prescription glasses on my hat to swap out if I need.
