I guess it's not like that then, which is good for you but perhaps a let down for fans of Abbott and Costello.

Having said that, my girlfriend has pointed out my clumsiness before so that could actually be a part of it.

It seems strange that you would go back, even thought the lens doesn't help that much colour-wise, because depth perception is... you know, important. But you've managed up to this point!

Sooo cool. I don't know if it makes a difference that they aren't corrective lenses in the traditional sense, but every new pair of glasses I ever got has resulted in a few hours of completely altered depth perception - my brief experiment with contacts even more so. Walking out of the opticians and down the street for the first time with a new pair is <em>trippy</em> ... Yeah, but you look like someone from the Fyootcher with that thing! Sooo cool.
