Crooked glasses causes headaches

Welcome to the most atypical habit I’ve yet to form. My glasses are slightly crooked (maybe 5 degrees off), but it’s just enough for me to notice. They are the frameless glasses, but I can still see the outline of the lenses. Subconsciously, I think I’m trying to adjust to the crooked glasses, but not by turning my head in the opposite direction (to make them straight), but by turning my head the same direction as the tilt. I guess I’m accomodating to the glasses instead of making the glasses accomodate to me. Well, trying to align the glasses with my eyes that way is like chasing my shadow. Lately I’ve been catching myself with my head further and further to the right, to the point where I think someone would question what I was doing if they saw me. I’ve tried bending them back myself, but I’m a little nervous because it’s about 5x more $ to repair glasses with no frames, because the only connection to the lens and the ear bracket thingy are two little screws. If they snap, the lens will crack. Anyway, I’ve been putting off the fact that I need to take my glasses in for repair. It’s such a small issue, but it could be the reason my neck has been sore, which often causes my head to hurt. Now it’s to the point where I’m afraid I might tilt my head to the right without having glasses on. Wouldn’t that be wonderful. Maybe I could lay sideways on the floor and put book’s under my laptop to angle it as needed… or I could go get my glasses fixed.

That’s ridiculous… go fix your glasses! :-p

On a side note, I always feel like mine are somehow “off” as well… but I don’t know for sure what exactly is wrong with them.

Tell me about it. I think it’s my nose… ha. I’ve had about 3 different sets over the last few years, and every pair ends up crooked in the same direction for some reason. I can’t wear contacts while glaring at a computer screen, so I guess I have no choice but to get them fixed. I’m just being lazy I guess…

Get contacts.

I have them, but man, after 4-6 hours of looking at a computer, they dry out and I’m constantly blinking. Maybe I just don’t have the right kind, but I get the 10 day disposables… I believe they are Acuvue…

My eyes seem to dry out regardless. Staring at a computer screen for eight hours in a dim environment will do that :-p

Mine don’t bother me unless I’ve worn them all day long and I’m starting to get really tired.

i just tried this and it works. i also have frameless glasses with a slight tilt. always raise the temple of the higher side, or lower the lower side.
