Another perspective

Well I got my new glasses today and though I don't need to wear them all the time, I figured I'd 'wear them in', so to speak, so I've had them on for a couple of hours now. The main thing I've noticed about wearing glasses is that you have practically no peripheral vision! It's really disorienting and even though my vision is sharper and clearer when wearing glasses, I'd actually say that my visual perceptive abilities are somewhat reduced. It seems odd to say it, but it's true. I'm finding that I'm so focused on what I can see through the glasses that anything in my peripherals is largely ignored/unnoticed. I can't see how this is a good thing if I ever learn to drive; I'm supposedly short-sighted enough for it to be illegal for me to drive without correction, but if I drive with these things on, I'm going to be a)worrying about what I'm not noticing and b)looking all over the place because of said concern rather than concentrating on the road. It's one thing not seeing something in perfect focus, but at least I'd notice it at all!
