Thanks for asking this!
I've been using glasses for over two thirds of my life and through this thread I've now discovered the existence of ultrasonic cleaners.
Only advice I have is if you're sensitive to bright lights or have sensory issues.
As someone with pretty significant sensory issues, transition lenses have made my life a lot easier, especially as they got better over time (used to take much longer to go back to normal, but now it's pretty quick).
That said, it's like Marmite. People either love it or hate it. And a lot of people hate it.
Oh, and headphones. If you use headphones a lot, there may sometimes be issues with fit and/or seal.
Things that aren't too tight for people who don't wear glasses can cause a major headache for people that do. While the best option is to try before buying, sometimes you don't get to try then long enough and discover later when you're trying to listen to music. Check reviews which will often mention whether or not people with glasses find them comfy first.
Sometimes it also breaks the seal a tiny bit and could cause the sound to be a smidge less bassy, although I've never actually experienced anything particularly significant when it comes to that myself.
Also, in ear headphones and speakers exist if you are like me and can't find a pair of on/around ear headphones that don't make your ears sad when you wear your glasses.
I'm glad this thread has helped!
I'd say I do have have sensory issues, but they're mostly audio/feel/taste related, not visual. That being said, I've been indoors most of the time so far, so we'll see how the sun affects me.
I have a pair of over ear headphones that I haven't tried with these on yet. I put them on and at first, anyway, they seem to be comfy enough. Does seem a bit quieter than usual, though.
Thanks!
