Reading glasses
« on: 22 August 2010, 11:42:17 »
What a pita.... >:(



Had an eye test and all is well, but recommended a mild correction for reading just to take the strain off, which my current £7.99 jobs from mattalan certainly do, but everything else over a couple of meters away is blurred of course, so oofing with the Telly on means a professor yaffel type pear over glasses on the end of the nose type effort to see the telly, which I absolutely hate  >:(

Mattalan glasses are 1.00 correction, but left eye needs 0.75, right eye needs 1.25, which is an improvement. But do they have to be the exact prescription, which means more expensive glasses and a lot of messing about fitting and trying on? It's taken me a month just to get to the shops for these, never mind a fitting appointment etc

Any tips or experiences?  :)

Once you start wearing glasses, your eyes deteriate at a faster rate, going by those I know who have recently started wearing bins...

My eyes deteriorated when I was about 19, diagnosed short sighted, never deteriorated again till last eye test about a month ago, upped the strength a little.

Have to take them off to read.

Guess Ive been lucky, Im 53 now, and have only recently had some issues with reading in low light levels, my eyes are still perfect under normal day light, I did by some 0.75 and 1.0 x from pound world, after some messing arround I managed to pop one the 0.75 form one and push in to 1.0 x frame, seems to do the job, although cant use them too long as it makes my eyes lazy overall for a while.

Dont think bright Laptop and PC screens do our eyes any favors.

Spend the extra money and get a proper pair of prescription glasses.

You wouldn't drive your car with a bald tyre on one side and brand new on the other side! You only get one pair of eyes per life.

Chris, as you know your prescription cheat like I did!...

Go to the pound shop. Find a style you like. Buy 2 pairs, 1 pair of 0.75 and 1 pair of 1.25 and swop the lenses to suit ;)

I'm not going to pay £100+ for something I can do myself for £2!! :y
