Tiberius Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 I can see like my 8 year old self again. It's magical. Lasik really was a miracle for me. 20/750ish before surgery. 30 minutes later I had better than 20/20 in both eyes. My sight is better now than any time before surgery, but not as good as immediately after . That's great! Almost 17 years for me as well, but my vision is now starting to shift. (I'm 63) My uncorrected vision was 20/100, and corrected to 20/15 Go to a dollar store,and try different power lenses. Pay attention to the differences in each eye. Buy the appropriate power MATCHING frames for the left, and right eyes, and pop out, and reinstall the lenses that will give you a match for both eyes. Repeat as nec... The dollar store glasses are nearly the same quality as the frames you'll pay 18 bucks for @ Rite-Aid.. Later on I actually was at the a dollar store and sure enough they were about 1/3 of the price. As someone has said in this thread, they own a whole bunch of pairs, and I'll do the same because I know I'll lose them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I just have multiple pairs of glasses. One pair for general use, one for computer work, one for reading. Moving my head is too much effort. (Actually, I found that trifocals drastically impacted my reading speed, and gave me a stiff neck at the computer. Dedicated glasses are better in each case.)

Cripple Creek Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'm 46. Up until 44, my eyesight was freakishly perfect. Once the decline started, it went downhill fast. Luckily, it's limited to reading. Your mother was right. Yes and often credit cards are not designed for those with low vision in mind. I have a card taped to monitor at home with large print when I need to enter credit card info. I lost your address, can you send it my way again?

Just Jack Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I went just about a year ago and got an eye exam done. The Dr said I'm not so bad as to need a prescription lens, but if I wanted one I could. Otherwise they suggested I just buy some readers, between the 125-175 levels. That's what I did for now.

PromoTheRobot Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 So I'm just going to go try some on and pick a pair I think is right for me. If that doesn't work I'll go to the eye dr and get a proscription That's all Do what I do. Stop at the Dollar tree and buy a dozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyVanMiller Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'm actually going to spring for a pair of these: https://www.readers.com/elwood-bi-focal.html Putting them on/taking them off 10K times a day gets old. Top half is clear; bottom half are readers. I read your post and bought a pair (black frames). Got them yesterday and so far, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
