I've noticed that, too--and it bothers me, a lot. Theoretically, if I am
only looking at something for COLOR, I shouldn't reach for my glasses
(either reading or driving, depending on where the focal point is), but I do.
So do they really help? Or am I simply being visually obsessive-compulsive
by putting the glasses on?

If my eyes were worse, I'd say that the edges of things being a bit
blurry COULD affect color perception, but the eyes aren't that bad
just yet, so it isn't like the different objects are overlapping and
distorting color.

Perhaps I'm nuts. Or maybe I need some LSD.
