Do you find that your glasses make things you're looking at convex? Like say you have a flat-panel monitor, but when you have your glasses on it looks to bulge outwards slightly.

My glasses do this, it's extremely noticeable on walls and the ground, and anything I'm looking at that should be flat (like my monitor).

My contacts don't do it.

That doesnt seem right. New glasses time? Maybe the focal points arent correct?

I don't wear glasses but I get that effect when wearing someone else's glasses. I think it means those aren't teh right lenses for you

My prescription is pretty strong I guess... 2.5/3.0... whatever that means. But my girlfriend has close to the same perscription and her glasses don't do it.

Maybe I just got a faulty pair of lenses, because the ones I had before these didn't do it, and those were 2.5/2.5

What are those?

Thick ass lenses. Are you nearly blind without your glasses?

Perhaps the glasses weren't fitted correctly to your head, or are bent.

LOL! :laugh:

Alright, I guess these are some defective lenses. My supply of contact lenses is about to run out, I guess I'll have my glasses changed as well when I go to get a new perscription.

I have the same problem with my glasses. If I look at something horizontal through the top edge of the glasses it looks bent down and if I move my head and look through the bottom edge of the glasses it looks bent up. I don't have a really strong perscription so no coke bottles here. This doesn't happen with my contacts and it's so bad I don't ever wear my glasses because of it.

I noticed that my curved monitor looked flat when switching between my old glasses and contacts. I have new glasses now, haven't worn my contacts except when travelling since I got them, so I can't tell regarding them.

A picture of them sorry my camera is deciding not to focus correctly... much like my glasses... sombitch!!!

I don't remember how the nearsighted farsighted thing works, but I'll tell you that I have crystal clear vision from up to a foot away and it blurs as the distance becomes greater.
