I see the world more clearly now, with eyes anew. No I didn’t accidentally trip and fall into a vat of Art of Living, and no I have not joined Oprah’s book club. Yet. I just got glasses for the first time in my life. The other day I was in a car with a friend and he pointed out a funny name on a truck. Except all I saw was a big fat blur, so I just assumed it was footage of Michelle Obama’s visit to The School For Girls In Saudi Arabia. Ah also, by the other day I mean two years ago.

I only realised this week that I’ve been watching 720p videos in 480p and 480p videos in 1p. It’s amazing. I no longer have a slightly confused squint and a headache after a TV show (unless I’ve been watching Times Now). These glasses are the best gadget I’ve ever owned. They’re only expensive if I think of them as glasses. They’re cheap as hell for an HDTV. representation Pic/Thinkstock
