Yeah, I understand, although I didn't have them as bad as you, mine was worse than that picture too.

I wouldn't notice them all the time but when I would notice them it was hard to stop seeing them. Sometimes I'd sit in class and chase them around. I'm sure I looked like a crack head doing that if anyone noticed.

Me too. Doc isn't too concerned since they're peripheral.

If the distance is from my chair to the computer screen, I see great and don't need glasses. If it's closer than that, I need glasses. If it's farther than that, I need glasses. I think I may have spent too much time in front of a computer.

Ask for them to for your pupil distance. So you can check prices online.

I am 50 years old, and I had absolutely perfect vision for 47 of those years.

About 3 years ago I noticed that I had to adjust how far I held my nook from my face when reading. I went from being able to read very small print just inches away from my face, to needing to have whatever I was reading almost at arms length to be able to see it clearly.

It was kind of a gut punch because I assumed that I was always going to be one of those people who just never needed glasses. Now, I have to wear reading glasses to see anything within 2.5 feet, which includes my monitors at work.

If I forget my glasses when I go shopping for anything, like groceries, I am forced to deal with how absolutely useless I am without them. I have purchased sugar-free crap by accident on more than one occasion because I just couldn't read a single word on the product.

A universal truth is the fact that getting older FN sucks.

About 6 months before my vision changed almost overnight, I was getting eye strain when reading. I have over 4,000 books on my nook, and about 100 real books on my bookshelves, and I have read 90% of them

I used to read 2-3 books a week. Anyway, I started feeling eye strain after a couple of hours reading, and that had never happened before. I thought maybe my eyes were strained from focusing, so I went and had an eye exam.

Halfway through the exam, the doctor just stopped and told me that I clearly had great vision, and he didn't finish the exam. Instead, he said if I was feeling eye strain, to try a pair of readers in the .5 magnification.

So, I got some readers that were that were .5, and within 6 months I couldn't focus on my nook without them. I think my eyesight got worse so rapidly because I used those readers several hours a day.

I started out just buying a few pairs of 1.5 readers from the dollar store. They were fine for awhile. But it always sucks having to take them off any time I take my eyes off the screen, book, etc. I have found bifocal reading glasses that work pretty well for me. They are more expensive but nothing like prescription glasses. And they are a Godsend.

All my local eye exam places are booked, so I went with America's Best Contacts and Eyeglasses. It's cheap, but I'm worried they might burn my retinas during the exam.

What issue does it take for you to get an eye exam?

I have an annual eye exam. This year, Ophthalmologist asked what had changed and I explained I can see better without glasses for driving and watching TV ... he completed the exam and explained my cataracts have started to change and they will continue to rather rapidly change. He gave me a 6 month date for reexam, a script for new glasses, and said inOctober we will likely set date for surgery.

I have always gone to an Ophthalmologist for my eyes. I dont trust those in and out fast and cheap places. They are like chiros for eyeballs to me.

I'm approaching asking the waiter what they recommend when trying to order from dimly lit restaurants.
