I am an optometrist, so ask away when it comes to glasses.
What is your lens power? And roughly how old are you?
way too blind for 38 years old is all I know. i never paid any attention to my prescription and I currently need to go get my eyes checked. just been putting if off since i really don't have a set plan for purchasing new glasses. i'm not like legally blind or crippled blind but i wouldnt try to drive home if I lost my glasses. figure that's a big enough a problem that I should look for some well built glasses.
i do plan to have the surgery done some time in the next couple of years. both my sisters did it and seem to be fine. but really i'm fine with wearing glasses and even if I had the surgery i'd probably still wear wear something like anti glare glasses or something just because I'm so used to it.
A word of advice is: Always have a back-up pair of glasses. Especially when away from home or out in the nature.
When and if you go for surgery, remember to think in presbyopia, which is around the corner, at your age. And I am pretty sure you won't find the need for any kind of antiglare glasses. It is the lens itself that produces reflexes. Sunglasses however is ALWAYS a good idea.
As for a frame for new glasses now; go for a full frame and preferably titanium. That way you should be good. And then, do not try to save money on lens quality. It is not worth it.
