| Thanks for this info. So will the plano lens actually help the
distortion. This is my dilemma that I can't seem to get answered. At
the moment I have no choice but to do the lens pop out thing until my
new glasses arrive. I'm assuming I'll be getting a plano lens in the
other side of my new glasses, but I will call the optometrist this
morning to double check. As it is, the glasses I have on order are
less powerful than my correction to allow a little fuzziness through
the distortion, but if a plano lens is going to resolve this, then I
guess I should simply get full strength to save the eye strain.
The fish oil thing is interesting to me. We've got a home ventilation
system that dries the house out that I've just turned off since both
my wife and I woke up with dry eyes this morning - you can only assume
it's environmental in this case since I haven't had dryness issues
until now.
