I'm 27 and just found out I need glasses.
I ordered lenses with an anti-scratch coating but they feel like shit, every bright image on my monitor has this bloom around it unless the lenses are absolutely perfectly clean.
I can't game like this, bros.
They get dirty so easily and my own sweat and steam fogs them up in under an hour of hard gaming.
Should I have ordered anti-reflective gaming glasses?
Can't you play without glasses?
Just order regular glasses retard.
just as long as they don't have thick frames
you wouldn't want to look like a cakelad
If you absolutely need crystal clear vision, buy gel contact lenses.
the purpose of PC glasses is just to stop blue light

get eye contacts
>unless the lenses are absolutely perfectly clean
Don't touch your lenses with your fingers. EVER. Clean your glasses twice a day by running them under hot water, then drying them with a clean hand towel. If your glasses are still getting sweaty/greasy, move them down the bridge of your nose 1/8th an inch so that the top of the frames isn't in contact with your eyebrow. If all else fails, get contacts or just take your glasses off and sit closer to the monitor.
>hot water
You mean cold water
You need the anti-reflective coating you dumb-dumb.
Anyways you should research the differences between glasses and eye contacts, I suggest you eventually get eye contacts too, so you can use glasses when you're outside and contacts when using a screen.
Good advice besides the water and towel, fuck you
OP you're a fucking retard
Scratch proof shit is a shitty fucking gimmick, that shit will NEVER fucking clean. Get new glasses I beg you, save yourself the pain.
>cold water
You mean lukewarm water.
But is right, I don't even use a towel on mine, I clean them beforehand and let the water do the rest. Results are perfect. Maybe you got shit-tier glasses? How much did you pay? I think mine were in the €150-250 range - I honestly can't remember that well - with the frame being 50.
Dont worry. You get use to it. I got glasses last year for the first time. Have a stigmatism in one of my eyes. Found out when i couldnt focus on the reticle on my rifles new optic. Anyways it makes a hell of a difference. Its like seeing HD for the first time all over again.
This is why I got lasik with my lump sum of owed neetbux. That shit drove me nuts. My glasses were never clean and I could see it. When they got too dirty, cleaning them was a pain in the ass between oils drawing out of hidden places onto the lenses and the lint left by the cloth or tissue. I suppose I could've gotten contacts but I've always had an irrational fear of the lenses getting lost in my eye sockets.
>lenses getting lost in your eye sockets
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I spent $300.
Have no idea if they're shit or not. I will try cleaning it like you advised.
What worries me most is that I'm a big guy and I have a condition that makes me steam and sweat a lot from barely moving.
wtf I'm never getting contacts now
...
>I have a condition that makes me steam and sweat a lot from barely moving.
Being fat?
KEKTUS
I haven't cleaned my glasses in weeks.
>I'm a big guy
nice meme
I don't use my glasses for gaming, but my prescription is very light.
The anti-scratch coating was good for about 5 years.
>my own sweat and steam fogs them up
Sounds like you're trolling actually, nevermind.
Usually you can get them out with 30-100 minutes of annoying struggle with your own body. If they've managed to get really "back there" then you're kinda out of luck and will likely spend an entire day unfucking your eye, if that can even do the trick.
i only ever need to clean my glasses if some real shit gets on them or i touch a lens with my finger
minor stuff like eyebrow shit is barely noticable when you're not moving your head
>I'm a big guy
For you.
I cleaned my glasses for the first time in weeks today. T-shirts are pretty versatile.
have you tried not being a fat greasy fuck OP?
>JUST LOSE WEIGHT, BRO, JUST EAT LESS HAHA XD
You're worse than SJWs.
Don't get memed polycarbonate is the benchmark for clarity in plastic lens. They are also the cheapest so everyone wants to push other lens to make more money. Get a pair of glasses with polycarbonate with no coatings for computer use. They will scratch super easy but if you take care they tlwill be okay
>eating less
Just fucking excercise you lardball. Go outside and move around a bit. Fuck, stay inside and move I don't care but that's how you lose weight.
yeah but, really, have you tried not being a fat greasy shitstain waste of human jello, OP?
Unless your lens are getting super nasty somehow, forgo using any sort of cloth. Just run the lenses under warm water, making sure each side of each lens gets a good rinsing. Then blow-dry, as in literally blow them dry with either your mouth, or compressed air. Using cloths, even microfiber cloths will leave streaks that show in bright light.
The way I clean them is just using normal detergent, because it doesn't leave residues like glasses cleaners.
To dry them I just press them to kitchen paper towel, make sure you PRESS THEM so it absorbs the water, absolutely never RUB them with paper when you're drying them.
Get Zenni with NO coating of any kind.
I've been playing video games most of my life and have a 20/20 vision.
So this concept of monitors damaging your eyesight is a bit hard to believe.
Eat less.
Eat more healthy.
Take a walk every now and then.
Fat people are just shameful and will use any excuse they can to justify being fat. It's literally your own fault.
You get used to it you fucking bitch. I've been playing games with glasses for 15 years. Get contacts or shut the fuck up
Sounds like you didn't get anti-glare coating which is absolutely necessary for comfortable PC use. If you did...clean the fucking things. Use a microfiber cloth meant for glasses and a cleaning solution safe for anti-glare coatings.
Don't use fucking dish soap. Some of them have lemon in them, some of them have alcohol and some of them have other shit that will ruin the coating and make things foggy. Palmolive is the safest but don't use it too often and NEVER apply it full strength. Always put it in your hands and create suds first then use the suds to clean stubborn shit.
Also clean the microfiber often. I suggest rinsing it under warm/hot water then wring it out. Then rinse it with cold water and wring again to avoid mineral deposits, hang it to dry.
You're 27, presumably you work.
Save up some money and get LASIK. Don't waste money on glasses unless the LASIK people tell you that your eyes aren't safe to operate on.
>tfw vision got fucked at 25
>tfw not getting glasses anyway
BAR THE WINDOWS, WE GOT A LOCO
I walked a minimum of 3 hours every day while training at the gym 5 times a week for 3 years and got fatter than ever.
I mean, I could stop eating, but that's no fun.
What if I have this even when I take my glasses off?
You're either eating super improperly or you're just flat out lying.
>just shoot some lasers in there bro
>LASIK
No thanks, I don't feel like getting DP/DR and depression.
What do you eat? First of all you need to eat less calories than what you consume.
Go to AGDQ 2019, I think the flavour of the year will be blind people.
Then your monitor is too bright, or aren't sleeping well, or you have dry-eyes or you're developing glaucoma
Get eyedrops
I mean burn more calories than what you consume.
Well you can always pay for fat removal surgery.
Get a life.
>my own sweat and steam fogs them up in under an hour of hard gaming.
what
>works for me ;)
I didn't eat that much. Take it from me - I've been both fat and dangerously thin, a lanky little shit and buff lifter, and the only way to lose weight is to sit on your ass and stop eating. I dropped 25KG just playing monster hunter instead of going to the gym.
The rumor that you can stay in shape and eat whatever you want is a lie made up by every company on the planet to trick you into consuming their crap.
Candy, Meat and Pasta.
>Sup Forums
It is. They can only cause temporary irritation if you use them too much, but nothing permanent.
It's not that it fucks with your vision, but with your sleep patterns. Blue light somehow tricks your brain that it's still day time.
I have a condition, it's irrelevant to the problem, stop asking.
worked for me.
It affects all lights, not just my monitor, so it can't be that it's too bright, I sleep pretty well, and my eyes don't FEEL dry, at least.
Sounds like I should probably get checked for diabetes then.
>DP/DR
What?
>depression
lol what? Why would having great vision make you depressed?
Contact lens master race reporting in, you fucking hipsters.
These are fun times, i remember once when i was using dailies, forgetting to take them out at night, then not understanding why a new pair wouldn't sit right. When they get "lost" it's a nightmare, but very rare.
>anti scratch
>not anti glare
you fucked up son
Depersonalization, it's more common than you think.
hppdonline.com
Contacts dry out my eyes. I'd try dailies but they are too expensive.
Did they even ask you about the glare free lenses? Have fun driving at night, moron.
>Contact lens master race reporting in
theyre too expensive, i'm about to go back to glasses
I still don't get it. That girl obviously has a fuck-ton of problems which don't seem at all relevant to using LASIK to fix poor vision.
I used contact lenses for like 4 years. They're a pain in the fucking asses; glasses are much better.
>wear contacts day and night for years
>don't take disposables out for months
>eyes never dry
>optometrist compliments healthy eyes
Is this "take them out" a shill thing to get people to buy more contacts after wearing them out, just like toothpaste is all the same shit and "extra whitening" is just a fucking lie?
The fuck does that have to do with eye-laser surgery?
Yes, same with earplugs. I wear mine for like 2 weeks in a row.
Just get slightly better ones, semi permeable. Once you have script, just buy them online, try different types. Email the websites for advice. I used to get itchy too, took years to find the right ones.
£15 funbucks pcm, just buy them in bulk online. You can get cheaper, but don't.
thanks, ill look into it
>every bright image on my monitor has this bloom around it unless the lenses are absolutely perfectly clean.
Whoa, you don't say? Never would've thought oil on your corrective lenses would affect how light bends through them!
Welcome to the past 20 years of my life, which is almost my entire memorable life. You doing anything at all that you care about image quality? Fucking clean your glasses, and don't touch them, don't touch your fucking eyes, listen to the other user that mentioned don't let them touch your eye brows, and you'll be able to enjoy what I assume is a clear picture the entire time!
>Gets late at night
>My eyes feel weird
>Rub eyes
>Suddenly can't see fucking shit blurry vision
>Struggle to see for the next 10-30 minutes
contacts retard
Even if you haven't damaged your eyes which is very unlikely, it feels gross as hell waking up with contacts in. Just take them out lazy bastard
>contacts
Soyboy.
>£15 funbucks pcm, just buy them in bulk online. You can get cheaper, but don't.
If you get them online they aren't going to be catered for your specific vision.
Why not just get them on prescription? I pay £18/m for mine with free checkups. Every month I receive 3 pairs with 4 packs of solution, this can last me at least 3 or 4 months, so I just postpone it for a while until I need them again, so I'm essentially paying £18 every 3 months or so.
Not to mention the shit ton of bacteria that accumulates on contacts in even one day. People this retarted shouldn't be allowed to make medical decisions for themselves.
soyboys wear problem glasses you dimwit.
my girlfriend says she thinks my glasses are sexy
i don't give a fuck about your faggy glasses or your broken eyes. post it on your blog you cum eating retard.
do you also have astigmatism?
Yes
You kids nowadays are so pampered
Every time I need new glasses I just go to the pharmacy and buy the cheapest over the counter glasses that feel good
I've been doing this since like 2001. I just visited an optometrist last week and he said my eyes were extremely healthy. Never get a gross feeling or any feeling from them.
>retarted
It'd retarded, you nigger retard.
just get the laser eye surgery
>buy $10 glasses
>get $2000 surgery
Wow thanks user
>stop asking
What condition?
>spending hundreds if not thousands on something that's not only temporary but one time only
Might as well just kill yourself for free
>Sweat and steam in less than an hour of hard gaming
How fuckin neckbeard can one person be?
Hyperhidrosis.
I live in a cold climate and my sweat is very hot, which makes it steam.
Stop buying the fucking dollar store lenses. Proper lenses only fog up if there is a 50 degree temperature change suddenly.
>that's not only temporary but one time only
This is what stopped me from getting LASIK.
My mother got it in her 30s.
Mid-40s she needed glasses again.
I'm not fat, I have hyperhidrosis
They are catered for me though, you think there all the same or pulled out a bucket like Halloween candy? They're the exact size/dimensions/power of my script. I highly doubt they're £18 for 3 months, and those must be the cheapest. I get the ones i want, without paying for the additional checkups, and they send free solution in the batches.
>$10 glasses
You get what you pay for.
