    Glasses

    Yeah I hear ya, It just takes time to get use to poking yourself in the eyes. :) I have contacts for playing pool only. I asked the Optometrist to give me a prescription that would allow me to see perfectly clear from 3 feet to 10 feet. He looked at me a little confused until I told him I was a...
