Sorry...no. And the hair in your palms will grow quicker. :)

When I wear my contacts, I need readers.

When I do not wear contacts, I cannot see far away.

Hate wearing glasses. My eye doc is working with me. She is cool.


This is 100% me.

Try wearing a contact in just one eye for a couple of days. I used to change eyes daily, but I've just been wearing one contact in my right eye for well over a decade now. I can see things far away and up close -- and at half the price.

Used to be legit 20/10, then I got shingles - on my head - and it got so far into my right eye the doc feared encephalitis… eventually got over it, but I could tell my right eye was pretty compromised while renewing my drivers license several years ago

So now I’m just 20/20 :D

Shingles in your ****ing eye? Holy shit. That sounds horrible. :eek:

About two years ago I lost the ability to see close with my regular glasses. Now I have prescription readers. I now have four pairs of regularly used glasses:

Regular glasses for everyday use.
Readers for computer work
Exercise glasses for runs
Sunglasses for solar protection

Getting Lasik surgery about 15 years ago was one of the best things I've ever done. Never been back to the eye doctor, and zero deterioration in my vision since I had it done. You can have one eye set for close up and one set for distance and your brain supposedly seamlessly makes the switch, but I had both of mine set for distance since I play a lot of golf. That's where I really notice it, on the golf course. There, and when I go to Rockies games at Coors. I swear I can see facial expressions on people sitting across the stadium from me. It's like laser vision. Before I had it done I couldn't see far away at all without contacts or glasses. Everything was just a blur. Now I can see like a freaking hawk.

Need readers to see anything within arm's length clearly, but that's no problem at all. Can't believe I put pieces of plastic in my eyes every day from the age of 13 until I had the surgery. What a pain in the ass that was. Could not recommend Lasik more highly. For me it was truly life-changing.

I was out of work, as a car salesman at the time, for over two months

It was disfiguring, the right side of my head was swollen like a melon… still carry several scars and have what the doc said would probably be lifelong itchy head/nerve pain over ten years later

I was nearsighted from age 25-35 but it fixed itself somehow. I dunno.

Are your sunglasses a prescription? I'm going fulltime glasses and thought I'd get flip down shades that go over regular glasses to avoid another prescription.

I always thought shingles was an old person disease - until one of my high school buddies came down with it in his mid 40s. After hearing his description of what he was going through (nothing compared to what happened to you), I got vaccinated the next ****ing day.

Yeah it can get pretty bad, but I had literally never even heard of it until getting it

The night I first went to the ER, the head nurse gave me 4 morphine shots in about as many hours, maybe less… and that was the ONLY good thing about that whole deal, morphine puts you on cloud 99 hahaa

Yeah, they're prescription. I really like that because I can wear them driving.

I've had the flipdown frames in the past and they worked well too, though. I guess it's just a matter of taste or timing.
