And my glasses have been nearly useless as a result. Now I know why! I have no peripheral vision in tiny lenses.<BR/><BR/>I say we start a campaign to bring back large glasses. I know 39 Dollar Glasses sells larger ones, because I accidentally got a pair of comically large ones from them. I knew I wanted larger glasses than my stupid tiny ones, but I didn't realize just how MUCH larger these would be (despite cutting out their helpful real-size images and trying them on, much to the amusement of my family).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37485715.post-53888682137684653862008-01-27T10:17:00.000-06:002008-01-27T10:17:00.000-06:00I like large lenses too, but I literally could not...I like large lenses too, but I literally could not find any in a larger size when I last bought glasses (not online). :(Janice in GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642298460152468319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37485715.post-13258260057964716952008-01-27T09:51:00.000-06:002008-01-27T09:51:00.000-06:00I've noticed this . . . even 26mm lens height help...I've noticed this . . . even 26mm lens height helps.
