I'm thinking the PD is off, but that's not supposed to be this bad if its off by 2mm. So now I need to send my glasses back to zenni to hopefully get a new pair in a month. It's bullshit. And for what? I don't even fucking need glasses. I'm near-sighted anyway. What, you want me to look at something over there? I'll just walk up to it, you fool. I have the power of locomotion, a gift that I don't take for granted, by the way. Why would I try to read text that's across the room? I can use a computer, I just need to sit a little closer. You know what? This glasses bullshit is a scam anyway. I paid 65 bucks and I'm still going to get screwed. I got the fancy filters on the lenses, I bet that's what did it. Too many filters, if I scraped them off I would be right as rain. You can see them in the light, a blue one and pink one. They gotta go. fuck glasses. Communism wouldn't allow this rent seeking from my eyes. Every year new pair, new bullshit to deal with. I already struggle to see with two (2!) other eye related disabilities, I should just get a braille keyboard and forget out sight. I don't need it. I don't need to see to smell flowers, hear a symphony, or fuck your mom. Sight is probably the most overrated sense in the world. You know what is the most underrated? Proprioception. You ever lose that? Because I have. In both of my hands. That was fucking hell. I would take being blinded any day of the week over going through that again. Eyes ain't shit. It's just hte bain forgetting it's place as the lump inside my skull. They are putting the eyes in scientific diagrams of the brain now, they have been elevated far above their station and I am taking a stand against them. Fuck eyes. Fuck glasses. Fuck opticians. Fuck Zenni. Fuck luxottica. I wrote this whole thing without glasses and you can't even tell because glasses are bullshit.

I can't rea this cos im not ewaring my glasses

Zenni is nice in the sense that it undercuts the shithole of an industry that glasses exist in. It just shouldn't have to be that way in the first place.

Their consistency is pretty poor though. Like I've ordered the same prescription for several years, and every new pair is slightly different and takes time for my eyes to adjust.
