I just entered a new stage in my life today!!!

[Mark Doble]

AND IT SUCKS!!!



I had to buy reading glasses! Like the script is only a .75
BUT EVEN STILL!!! How could my body let me down like this. Like I got 16/20 vision. I can pick out the numbers on a golf ball at 100yrds.!

LIFE REALLY SUCKS! I'm just going to refuse to wear them that's all there is too it...:basic02

It could be a LOT worse. I've had glasses since the 2nd grade. I prescription is something in the neighborhood of -8 1/5 diopter. Now I have trifocals. They really stink.

Joel :cool:

I kinda like my trifocals.
I've had 'em so long that I'm accustomed to them.
BTW, about a year ago, I had a total knee replacement, and since that time I can actually see at a distance well enough to drive without wearing glasses!
Psst.... don't tell the Texas Highway Patrol. :basic05

I can read small print on the other side of the room, but put a book in front of my face - no way.

Hit at 44yrs old. Doc says it because I hit forty!!

Yes, I can relate to that, Mark. I have to have reading glasses, special glasses for the distance to the computer screen, and then other glasses for driving (which I don't really use all that much). It's really a pain, isn't it? Welcome to the world of "aging."

[BobHunt]

Yeah, you ever notice the print on those medicine bottles is gettin smaller and smaller? You almost have to get a prescription glasses to read the labels on them lol!
Im gettin older too I guess.

I wear progressive trifocals. I finally broke down and bought an inexpensive digital watch... with large numbers! Now if I wake up at night I can see what time it is without getting my glasses.

I've worn glasses since I was in 7th grade. Started wearing Bifocals when I was 41. Hated them! The next checkup I had I went to Transitional lenses. I don't mind them at all. No line to look around. My husband used to say, before I got bifocals, your arm is too short. I am far sighted and that reading was tough.
You will get used to them. Welcome to our world.

I am hoping to leave this world one day and be with our Lord.

I am not going to take my glasses with me!

You must be far sighted. I am very near sighted. Without my glasses I see good at about 6 inches. My prescription for the top part of my glasses hasn't changed much since I was in my 30's but my eyes won't focus anymore. I am 51 years old. I had bifocals for around 10 years and I have had trifocals for my street glasses for about a year and a half. I have to have safety glasses for my job. The first time I got trifocals my eye doctor had trouble getting my safety glasses right. I finally gave up and wore my bifocal safety glasses another year. Now my eyes are bad enough that I have to have trifocals at work so a few months ago I went in to get new glasses. My street glasses were right the first time. It took 4 tries to get my safety glasses right. With the work I do, it seems like half the time I am too close or too far away for my lenses. Welding is REALLY hard with bifocals or trifocals. I am a very good welder. Now I am ashamed of some of my welds. I asked my eye doctor about progressive no line trifocals and he said most people don't like them as well as they thought they would. Besides that, my company won't pay for progressive trifocals for my safety glasses.
