    That I don't know. I don't spend that much time outside. Only times I can think of were this summer putting new house siding on at my moms or when we went to Vegas last may.

    What was your damage from?

    In college when I would be in a hurry I would unintentionally do math problems backwards and still get the right answer. Halfway through the problem I would flip it.

    Not sure if it was all interrelated but the nun who was my 1st grade teacher cured me of being left handed by slamming a huge key ring or ruler on my hand. By the end of 1st grade I was last in my class in reading. 2nd grade I started taking piano and by the end of the school year I was 1st in my class in reading.

    I have keratoconus so I have to wear hard contact lenses and thanks to that I have to wear sunglasses whenever I'm outside for more than a few minutes.

    I like @barfo 's suggestion more. A pirate eye patch would be pretty sweet

    Zeiss frames and lenses?

    My woman works for Zeiss. Really good lenses if you didn't get the cheapest ones, and no one shape is more popular than the other. It goes by the shape of your face.

    I wear transition lenses with UV filter and a few other features (anti-glare, bifocal).

    I wear them when I am awake. If I leave the house, they become sunglasses with UV protection.

    In spite of this, the eye doctor told me I have a small amount of eye damage, similar to what you describe.

    He said it would be many years before it's an issue, and it's something like, or a form of, cataracts.

    No idea. won't be able to pick them up until a week or two. Neither frames (mine or wifeys) are Zeiss though. She got some designer ones she thought were fancy. Kate Spade or something.

    I didn't need glasses until my 50s.

    Square/rectangular rims are in.

    Not sure if you can get it with your issues (I didn't think I could get it with astigmatism-but that is a myth now I guess) but I splurged and got iLasik a few years ago. Best decision of my life. Love not having to wear contacts or glasses anymore.

    Wasn't that expensive either as I used my work health flex plan to pay for the majority of it (it is a plan where they take out 200, for example, a month out of your paycheck but you get the full 2400 on a benefits visa card upfront).

    I've considered Lasik, but I'm an accountant and risk averse. Even if you told me 1 in 100 million people go blind from the surgery, I'm going to assume I'm the one person, and would rather just wear contacts and/or glasses my entire life.

    I've heard great things from people though that have gotten lasik.
