Back to glasses.

After wearing contacts for a while and then running out, I figured it was time to hit up the eye doctor to renew my prescription.  Turns out I am now farsighted on top of my astigmatism.  Isn’t getting old fantastic?

I did not like wearing contacts, at the end of the day it was just one more thing I had to do before bed and in the morning.  It is hard enough waking up at 8:20 and making it to work by 9:00 every morning when you shower..  The last thing I need to do is fight contacts into my eyes.  What a royal pain in the ass.  Not to mention, you can’t just pass out with them in.  Most of the time, I just would just skip putting them in and just sit closer to my monitor at work.

I also wasn’t a huge fan of wearing glasses, until I found out that Oakley had some sweet stuff.   Thanks to the folks at the Oakley Action Sports Marketing Department I’m now seeing things clear in a pair of Oakley prescription glasses. No more headaches when I’m staring at a monitor for hours on end at Freeskier, and best of all I don’t have to settle with a lame pair of lame glasses from Lens Crafters or Pearle Vision.

So, here is the new four-eyed Dave.  30% nerdier, 10% more sophisticated and 100% better vision.

Special thanks to Greg Strokes and Alyssa Gross at Oakley for the generosity.  Much appreciated!
