Reading glasses
« on: July 18, 2022, 12:02:25 PM »
Even wearing expensive contacts, i still have to wear nice reading glasses, my doctor said I probably will for the rest of my life.
Prescription glasses work fine with a bifocal, but they have to be worn everyday. And being far sighted they are a hassle.
Light does some strange things with them. They aren’t the ugly coke bottle lenses anymore they have pretty well eliminated those now days. Good contacts and reading glasses work best for me.

I just cannot get used to contacts, so I'll stick to reading glasses.
Had my cataracts out a year or two ago and it gave me perfect distance vision, but not for up close.
I use one set for reading and another for my laptop. 8)

They make computer glasses now, supposed to make your computer easier to read things on it. They call that problem computer blue light. And its bad for your eyes without the glasses.

They would need to have corrected lenses.
My laptop sits farther away than my books hence the need for two different sets of glasses.
But I will research computer glasses.

My monitor is close to 4' from me but is a 40" screen so I can see it easily without reading glasses.

At 77 my distance vision is 20-20 even after a stroke in one eye. I have to get shots in that eye every 7 weeks to maintain my vision in it tho.

I can't see crap up close tho so do need reading glasses for reading anything on paper.
