So today I got my eyes checked and turns out my eyes are special (aka kinda screwed up).
For one the vision my right eye is somewhat worse than my left (20-40 vs. 20-30).
If that wasn't enough of an annoyance, my left eye has astigmatism.
Then on top of it all my right eye has an inward turn.
(the last time I got my eyes checked I just got a normal prescription for nearsightedness, nothing weird)
What's an eye turn, Nameless??
whelp, it means when my right eye has nothing to focus on it drifts slightly inward (in my case, there's also such a thing as an outward turn). Until it's forced to focus again it stays inward. This screws up my depth perception to a certain extent and, as it turns out, if left uncorrected can result in a lazy eye. So I get to have a cool prism lens for my right eye, which should fix any eye muscle strain and my **** depth perception.
A prism lens means I may not be able to get contacts (if I wanted them) because prism contacts are hard to make.
For you people who are confused by the 'special eyes' comment:

I totally failed the depth perception test though. I was supposed to point out the more obvious dots on a thingy and I could only see obvious ones in the first row. I stared at them for several minutes and could sort of figure out a few more of them.
My brother has a far worse eye turn (his is outward instead of inward) than I do. I need a level 1 prism lens and he needs a level 3.
But I hope it can/will be fixed soon, good luck =)
It's barely noticeable.
and I don't have them yet, I only found out I need them today.
:D
Good hearing that you got your prism glasses.
I immediately thought of you wearing one of these over your eye though.
