About this episode

Case and Cass discuss their evolving experiences with glasses and contacts, sharing personal stories and insights about vision correction.

hi hello hey — apparently our eyeballs demande Back in 2022, we dedicated a n entire episode to our experiences with glasses and contacts , and while our diagnoses haven’t changed, our relationships with corrective lenses definitely have. So naturally, it was time for a sequel. This week, Case shares her journey from trying progressives to fully embracing bifocals (granny-core, but make it functional), while Cass talks about wearing tinted contacts more often to help with photophobia and why they work so well for her and shares potentially the least glamorous contacts story ever told. We also swap stories about the strange realities of “corrected” vision, including the irony that our prescriptions can reduce eye strain and help us distinguish more detail… while still not letting us recognize faces from across the room.
