| 271883 | 2004-09-13 22:01:00 | Hi Silver Stack, Welcome to the club. I have two pair of glasses. One for reading and one for driving and watching TV. Have just spent $1,000 on two new pair. I find that in my case the reading glasses are the only option for my computer. I have learned to maintain the correct distance from my monitor for my glasses to work properly. I tried things like monitor size and script size but that didn't realy work.My problem is that I can only use one eye for reading, the other eye can not focus, but keeps trying to. So sometimes reading become rather difficult. Driving is another matter!! It's a bit silly realy. My eyesight meets the required standard for driving, but I know it's not good enough. Re the OT remarks by some smart Alec. Ignore him. Half of the forum is OT,but not marked as such. Jack |

Recently I had 2 ops for a detached Retina, and in the process they mucked up the lens - no hassle as the just do a Cataract op and at this point can do some correction as well. Must add, this was all done by our much malaligned public health system very quickly. The day after the detached retina was diagnosed, I was operated on. That one wasn't quite right so redone 3 weeks later with the final one about 4 weeks later. Bye |
