Well, I had my Optometrist visit on Monday; the astigmatisms is now worse and the dreaded ReAdInG-Bi-Focals were suggested... Yes, I just sat there and wept :bang:

Sorry about the coke bottle line. Lord forgive me....and be with the starving pigmy's in New Guinea. :lol:

I still don't have glasses. Last one in my family still in denial. I was always that person who would see the rabbit hiding under the bush when we drove by it. Got lucky there. Wonder if I could trade a bit of vision for thicker hair. I got robbed in that department.....literally.

I'm laughing about the coke bottle line! :floor:

I couldn't see at 9, refused to wear my glasses & had to get stronger ones by 12. Luckily, I am able to use gas permeable contacts & so my prescription hasn't changed in 23 years!!!!!!!!! I just have to get new ones every 4-5 years. Sadly, I can't get soft contacts because my eyes would worsen immediately.:eek:

My birth mom's family are all about the same & have cousins that have had the laser stuff done. Scares the heck outta me but still intrigues me because I'd love to wake up and see in the morning.

It's a trade off 'cuz I've got thick hair.:biggrin:

I have no-line bifocals, and there are times I still need to borrow Fuzz's reading glasses or a magnifying glass to be able to read small print. My vision fluctuates, due to RK surgery back in the late '80s. ShallowsSquirt hates it when I have to disturb him in order for him to read a recipe for me (and he has lazy eye, and couldn't pass the DL permit test without his glasses).

My biggest problem is looking down and going down steps. Whoa, Nellie. Exactly where do I need to put my foot?

I am told that the cataract surgery I'll be having sometime in the next two years will take care of most of my problem. :(

Good grief Biffy. Put on yer big girl panties and get in the real, reading glasses wearing world.:wave: They won't slow you down a bit.

Or, as Kate would tell you. "Build a bridge and get over it.":roll:

:clap:Got mine on! Hey, anyone got a smiley with sexy, intellectual-reading-glasses-look? ;-)

And all the while I thought it was the tourists who couldn't drive. Turns out it's the nearly blind, too vain for glasses residents! :lol:

Minnie, I always use the larger font so that others can read it. Sometimes I forget to make it bigger. I will stop doing that as long as no one complains.
I do still have really good vision, but it will catch up to me. I find myself squinting every once in a while when lighting isn't ideal.
I've been on a computer for so many years that I was told I needed reading glasses at one point. I got them and left them in the drawer beause I didn't want to wear them. Last time I had my eyes checked, they told me I didn't need reading glasses as my eyes are just fine. Go figure.
