I know there has been a few threads on here about them, but what kind of billiard glasses do you use and why? I have an eye appointment next week, and would like some recommendations.

I had a list saved of the different companies I have read about on here, but my phone died and I lost them.

Thanks in advance!

My eyes are dry. Not almost debilitating like my wife suffers from, but dry.

I was at Baylor College of Medicine (huge Houston Medical Center presence) years ago, and I was marginal in the dry eye test. The doctor nixed the contacts. I had to turn on the charm to get an Rx. Turns out, she was right.

One thing you’ll need forever is sunglasses. Stepping outside into
sunlight or daytime driving is absolutely blinding. Fact: having your
vision restored via cataract surgery means permanent light sensitivity.

i tried contacts off and on for years. Started when there were only hard contacts. Went through a few iterations of soft. Never worked for me.

Like progressive lenses. Some it works for, some it takes a while, some it doesn't work for. I'm in the latter group

I emailed my prescription to a guy in the UK. They were great. Their web address is snookerxpex.com Best price I could find. They will mail them to you.

Right, but it's not as though experienced players frequently ding their wood shafts. But when it does happen, it's quick, easy, and painless to completely remove those dings from wood shafts, nondestructively returning the shaft to pristine condition. Such damage cannot be completely avoided with CF shafts, and when it inevitably happens, the repair process, assuming the shaft is not damaged beyond repair, is much more complicated. Many players won't even be able to DIY the repair, let alone complete the repair before the next day's session (or sooner). In a pinch, a wood shaft ding can even be properly removed during a playing session if a spare shaft can be used for a few racks.

With respect to maintenance, when choosing between wood or CF shafts, people choose between occasional simple and easy repairs with wood, or even less frequent, albeit more complicated and expensive, repairs with CF.

Use contacts, not glasses for pool. Contacts are a lot better. Glasses smudge, in pool there can be issues with them obstructing vision, and are bulky. Contacts work great, put them in, no vision blockages, no smudges, just great vision day in and day out. If I did not have contacts, and had to wear glasses playing pool, I would quit the game and do something else.
