If I didn't wear my glasses in the house I'd be tripping over my cat.
I have very poor vision. Sure, I can find my way around but
everything is blurry without my glasses. The furniture is stationary
but the cat moves. LOL

I came home from school at age 12 and said, "Mom, I can't see the
blackboard." Don't think I wanted to be a four-eyes at that age! But
it's important to be able to see.

Used to be I could just take my glasses off to read. That changed.
When I hit age 44 the opthalmologist said "You need bi-focals". Oh no!
But really, I love being able to see. Without tripping over my cat.

My brother paid for Lasik. I took him to the appointment. $2000 per
eye. He was thrilled! Five years later he needed reading glasses.

I learned to fake our annual eye exams at elementary school and then in Jr High it never dawned on me when I asked other kids in class quietly to please tell me what the teacher had written on the blackboard that I MAY need glasses! But I finally got some on Jr High! For nearsightedness.

But I finally got sick of wearing my glasses while whitewater kayaking because every time I'd flip and roll back up my glasses would fog up! So I finally had LASIK to carve my corneas into a better shape!

But now I need reading glasses!

Same here. I feel out of sync without them on even around the house.

Either way I can't see properly without them.

I have learned to shuffle. I have two dogs. The older one has always
been in the habit of lying across well travelled choke points. His
favourite spot at night is at the top of the stairs by the TV room, so
anyone going up and down the stairs or to the bathroom has to step over
him. The other trick is to think he knows where I am going and to walk
ahead of me and then stopping at the choke points. The new dog is
learning this trick way to quickly. Right now he is lying on the floor
behind me. I have some muffins in the oven and when the timer goes I
will have to get up and walk to the kitchen. The old guy is on the floor
at the end of the table, so he has that passageway covered. The younger
one will scoot ahead to the doorway and stop there.

I don't actually care if someone can see the bi-focal part. It's rather
small, not noticeable for my scope of vision and really, no one ever
gets that close to me to notice. If they are, they either need to step
back or... we're going to sleep. At which point I take my glasses
off anyway.

I agree with you, but there is a problem.. I asked out local store

I was 8 and did the same. My cousin just got glasses and mom thought
maybe I just wanted to copy him like kids often do. A trip to the doc
verified it though. Bifocals at about 42. Resisted getting transitions
for a long time, now it is a "must have" for me.

I'm 20/20 with glasses, 20/400 without.

Well that explains why you bought a house with no basement. The

I got my first set age12. I was SHOCKED. I had not realized you could
see a single blade of grass when standing after hitting 5ft. I just
thought that was normal to have a blurr of green.

Jill, when you hit a level, you may need 3 pairs. 1- Driving and
general, bi-focal

1 close up (computer) and general (but not driving distance) and 1 for
driving and seeing the car console well.

Our self checkouts have the same pic of a tomato but different
categories, and needless to add, very different prices. If I want to
be sure I have the right price line, I need to put that number in from
the sticker.

Without, my far point is about 20cm/8",
In my 20s I had hard contacts but when I moved to Calgary, the humidity
proved to be too low and I had to go back to specs.

My complaint is business cards, they use the smallest font for phone
numbers and in an attempt to be fancy they choose a strange font that
cuts off part of some numbers.... often its difficult to differenciate
numbers without a jewelers loupe. Fortunately I carry a small
magnifying glass on my key ring.

I wore soft contacts for 35 years then the eye doc told me she could
see the start of cataracts. So my next visit I 'failed' my eye test.
She asked me why because she guessed I was faking and I said it was
because I wanted to get the cataract surgery done. You are supposed
to wait until a certain level of sight drop. Anyway, she referred me
on to the surgeon, who asked me why she had written 'life style
preference' beside need, and when I said so it was easier to focus my
cameras he thought it was funny.

So because I had always had two different prescription contact lenses,
he simply implanted the contacts of the same level after the cataract
surgery. My sight is as excellent as it always was and I don't have
all the bother of taking the lens in and out. Viva health care!

I do notice a very slight drop in sight these days, but only for very
very small print, such as those numbers.

I like salty foods, why waste my salt intake on butter... I'd much
rather a salami sandwich for lunch than salty buttered toast for
breakfast.

Ive no idea what's a progressive bifocal.it's either progressive or a
bifocal, not both.

My glasses have Varilux lenses, nothing is cut off at the edges...
perhaps you don't have properly fitted frames.

Yes, I still remember walking out of the optician with my new glasses on
and said "everything looks black and white" and I could read the signs.

I don't actually care if someone can see the bi-focal part. It's rather
small, not noticeable for my scope of vision and really, no one ever
gets that close to me to notice. If they are, they either need to step
back or... we're going to sleep. At which point I take my glasses
off anyway.

LOL I wasn't saying I cared, only that they were a little bit different. As
I said, they do the same job!

Jill, when you hit a level, you may need 3 pairs. 1- Driving and
general, bi-focal

1 close up (computer) and general (but not driving distance) and 1 for
driving and seeing the car console well.

Mine one pair covers all those things!

Ive no idea what's a progressive bifocal.it's either progressive or a

My glasses have Varilux lenses, nothing is cut off at the edges...
perhaps you don't have properly fitted frames.

Ok just checked, your Varilux are the same as my Varifocals.

Technically, by definition a bi focal is only two focal planes.
progressive or vari-focal indicates a changing focal plane. They can go
by different brand names.

That's one thing I can't do with glasses without an umbrella. But I got
tired of contact lenses. When I got glasses contacts only came in gas
permeable semi-hard lenses. In five sizes. They didn't fit properly
and it looked like I was crying all the time. The later soft lenses
were great but I still had to take them off to sleep. I never did trust
wearing them to bed and have to replace them every few days. It is
easier (and much less expensive) to wear glasses.
