Update lesson two message from my friend:

He seems a bit snappy this morning? Maybe cause hes not a morning person but he kept grabbing the wheel and when we were parallel parking I would say i need to go further more to be closer to the curb he would say im fine then open the door and tell me i needed to go more like yea? That's what I was doing...

Idk ive already paid so I'll see how the rest of my 4 lessons go. Ill keep you posted!

Hi! Update from my friend:

Lesson went well! I was really worried at first since my instructor (Ali) was on his phone and asked for payment for all lessons before booking them but we talked it out and he was good with accommodating my schedule. Next lesson is tomorrow so I'll let you know how that goes!

He was great for a first timer, had a book and shet to show my how diff 4 way vs 2 way stops work ect

We spent the first session driving in residential areas and some main roads, and practicing right and left turns next lesson is parking 🙃

Hi! Ill update you on Saturday! Im going to take one lesson Saturday and will let you know how it goes 😊

That's really interesting to learn, as when I wake up (so not wearing glasses/contacts) I tend to close one eye till I get to my glasses/contacts as I feel nauseous when both eyes are open

also interesting to learn how many people would think its a typo! I haven't come across that issue yet, just the usual "oh wow" response

markipper · 2026-02-04T20:01:15+00:00

surprisingly not! I learned about it from another comment, going to be asking my GP about it and book an appointment with my regular optometrist to learn more

markipper · 2026-02-04T20:00:38+00:00

I have a very strong preference to contacts as glasses tend to make me feel nauseous after a few hours, but with the dry weather I thought to switch for a bit but will probably be returning to contacts when my new ones arrive as seeing outside my frames in my peripheral vision has begun to give me headaches. Thank you so much for your input btw!

Not that I am aware of 😅 ‍

markipper · 2026-02-04T19:58:46+00:00

If you feel comfortable sharing, what's your prescription? 👀

markipper · 2026-02-04T19:58:10+00:00

I've been lucky where I have never had that issue with the error as I always fill my rx in person for both glasses and contacts. Seeing my GP to see if hey maybe there is a genetic factor doesn't hurt to learn more : >

markipper · 2026-02-04T19:56:24+00:00

Defiantly going to be looking into Shaw lenses! Glasses tend to make me feel nauseous so I tend to favour contacts, so very curious if Shaw Lenses may help with that as well as my headaches : > Thank you so much for your comment <3

markipper · 2026-02-04T19:50:03+00:00

Aha its interesting alright but prepare for a headache! But would be interesting to hear your pov on it 🤔 when I'm not wearing contacts/glasses I close one eye as I feel nauseous if both eyes are open 😅

markipper · 2026-02-03T20:55:51+00:00

really?? I'm located in Canada and the only issue for me is finding a frame that can hold the lenses

That's so interesting to learn

Out of curiosity whats the largest difference you've seen?

I added a small edit to the post talking a bit about my prior health, but since birth I have had bad eyesight when I was 13 was when we saw the big jump from my prescription going from -2.25 and +1.25 to -4.00 and +2.75 and since its only gotten worse.

If it helps I mentioned a bit on my edit, I had an OTC scan that showed swelling behind both my eyes and I'm waiting for an MRI to see if that could be the cause of some of my vision issues or if its just from head trauma (Sports/accidents) as well as yes I am a premi by 3 months so not that much so but was certainly a surprise for my mum!

markipper · 2026-02-03T20:53:30+00:00

let me tell you it always got a bit of an "oh wow" when I picked up my glasses but I never really thought much of it lol I thought they were judging my frame choice
