Like all Inner West hipsters, I recently went to Dresden to get new glasses and contacts. Unfortunately I ran into a few problems. I have no bridge to my nose and their frames have no nose pads, so they sit directly on my cheeks very close to my eyes. Also, my prescription is so high that they were unable to create the highest-index lenses for the Large size frames (I have a giant head), and the medium-index ones caused serious distortion around the sides. I ended up with just these reading glasses, which I like but Iโ€™m constantly having to push back up my face. ๐Ÿ˜• Any recommendations for somewhere in Sydney that caters to melon-headed, tiny-nosed, extremely short-sighted nerds? ๐Ÿค“

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
