Glasses/contact lenses

[manimanc]

I've worn " night and day" contact lenses for a while now. I've always been short sighted, but like so many, reading was getting problematic in my 50's. I now have contacts " tuned" so one eye is corrected for reading and one for distance, and they are brilliant !

I have the monthlies contacts, had them about 15 years now. I go a few days without wearing them to give my eyes a bit of a rest but on the whole they've been great.

Buy on-line better service and loads cheaper.

Just make sure in your test they measure bridge width and distance to you ears so you order the right size.

If you do this, when you get your eyes tested at wherever, make sure you also ask them to add the pupillary distance to the eye test results, it isn't always recorded but they should tell you if you ask.

Found out I needed glasses when I couldn’t see the scores on the old scoreboard from the seats in the Platt Lane End as a kid.
Parents didn’t do anything about it until I joined the Navy and couldn’t pass the medical without them.

I wear verifocals now and as anyone wearing them knows it takes a while to look through the right part of the lense dependant one whether you’re reading or distance.

First day of wearing them I felt like I was in a fish bowl. I had to pick up someone from the Airport and I hit an RAC van whilst driving up the multi storey car park. I apologies to the driver who was attending a breakdown, backed up as there was little damage and tried to manoevre around him and hit him again!!
Bloody glasses.

never worn or needed them all my life turn 50 and you’ve guessed it can’t read a thing without them. Life’s shit when you get older who else on here relies on the old bin lids.

Started with a patch aged around 10 then moved onto specs. Wear them all the time and would give my left arm to not have to.

The most important measurement.

Karma.

Poor eyesight is the result of too much self-abuse early in liffffcddhhyyhnmm,m,

I agree.

I agree.

Fun fact. Ivor Biggun was aka Doc Cox from That's Life.

Boring programme. Perhaps if Doc Cox had Jizzed all over Esther Rantzen's Klopp like pearly whites, it may have been worth watching.

Lol. Not sure what to make of that but I now have an alarming image stuck in my head.
