I wonder if the lenses are off gassing? They're a type of plastic. But most likely I think I just have a face that the US would try to deliver democracy to if they found out about lmao
lmao that's a funny way to put it. I honestly have no clue about outgassing, I've worn glasses my whole life and I don't recall ever having issues. I also have no allergies or sensitivities whatsoever though. My partner is sure that it's just eye strain or adjusting to the new "biome" of stale air you have for your eyes now, she just got a pair after needing them for years and she had a lot of trouble adjusting to them and still never wears them all the time.
I never would have thought of burning as a way to describe it but I looked it up and apparently it is a fairly common concern if you never wore glasses and got a large prescription, the glasses focus the light in on your eyes and your eyes aren't used to that. I actually do have trouble in daylight cause of my extreme prescription and never thought it could be possibly related to the glasses, I just thought it was that way due to my silver irides.
