New angle to O-training starting today: Brain/eye training to hopefully get used to my first pair of progressive lenses.

The narrow field of vision is a bit alarming, not sure how that will translate in orienteering where I have enough trouble recognizing features even when I can see them clearly :D Optometrist says the brain will adapt somewhat so it should improve to some degree. We'll see.

Also, things at an intermediate distance that are downward, like sweeping up the cat litter or trying to admire the cuteness of my dogs in front of me while on a short-leash walk, are fuzzy. I guess it's just a matter of getting used to the fuzziness or else getting in lots of neck stretching to look through the higher up part of the lens. Wonder how this will translate to maneuvering through forest / rocky areas.

But hey, I can read maps without having to hold my glasses up out of the way! Woo!

They give 3 months to get used to the glasses, so lots of time to give them a fair shake.

C • I'm guessing you'll adjust quickly... 2
