It is indeed sometimes groovy and sometimes a bit awful. Caution with one's eyes is a fairly base instinct for most people for a reason. [Shame his childhood self had no such sense of self-preservation whatsoever, though...] I've had quite a lot of time to get used to the idea of it by now, either way, so it's not a more pressing concern to me these days.
My eyes won't explode the second my glasses leave my face, after all! They're fontech, there's a stabilizer built into the lenses; without it, the glyphs in my eyes begin to unravel, which doesn't necessarily happen all at once. Based off past tests, I start developing migraines and poorer eyesight after about 8 hours without a stabilizer, and symptoms worsen from there. I suspect I could probably go almost three days without, but obviously it's not exactly something I'm keen to find out.

Clarke's the first person to directly ask about his eyes like this, actually, though she's the second to learn the constraints of their limits; Doctor Watson was the first on that front.

Whatever do you want "magic glasses" for yourself, though? I wasn't aware you had any issue with your eyes currently, apart from that one occasion of unfortunate damage. Or am I wrong?
