I don't notice it, and my axis measurements are +65 and +110, FWIW. The weight is tiny and I see 20/20 with my contacts in, 20/200 and 20/300 without.

Modern science FTW

 

Did you know that vision correcting spectacles were invented about 700-750 years ago? Even before that, they used magnifying glass for reading.

 

you guys are smart

thanks for all the suggestions people. It had been over a year since I had gotten my vision checked... and in that time I moved across the country and found a new doctor.... I mean, I could see with the lower prescription so I'm not sure how that all happened...

 

Definitely get some proper glasses before you switch from nearsided to broadsided.

 

I've had a pair of yellow lensed glasses purely for night driving for some years now, yes some colours change slightly bit I've found that they reduce glare considerably, a bit like different coloured lenses in sunglasses, ie brown/grey or green. Different horses for courses.
