I love marmalade kitties....my sister has been owned by three and they have all been adventurous Tom Cats.  

Aaaaggghhhh polarisation of glasses and trying to take a portrait photo.  Sooo aggravating.  Plus the indicators on our train stations are polarised as well, so are black if you're wearing prescription sunglasses.  It looks a bit odd to turn your head to the side to read it. Take the glasses off and it's too blurry to read it.  Who invents these things?

No one told me about the polarization problems when I got my new prescription.  I like them otherwise - but it is *SEVERELY* annoying when I can't make the camera work.  I really should go back to my contacts - I saw better with them and didn't have these problems!

(I've debated trying without the glasses, but if I cannot see the E on the eye chart, how would I see the images?)

No, no one told me either.  I thought the indicator boards at the train station weren't working at first.  My distance vision isn't that bad, but my close up vision is poor, particularly in my left eye, and once I needed distance glasses as well as close up I opted for multifocals.  Took a while to get used to them, but they've been great.  I do find though that I'm taking more landscape photos than I used to, and cropping them to portrait on the computer, which is stupid.  Or I take the glasses off, and point and shoot.  Which is possible since I have a point and shoot camera, and don't have to focus  .  If I close my left eye I can kind of see what is on the screen.
