The Self Referential Thread

[General Zod]

I got eye glasses, and discovered that one eye can see better than the other. I went to Pearl Vision, and got to see an X-ray of the inside of my eye. It was super cool.

I think women who wear glasses are beautiful. 😀 😛

One eye is way worse then the other for me. 🙁 One is like 20/650 the other is like 20/80

Fortunately I have had the same prescription for eyeglasses for several years now and have not had to buy a new pair. 😀 😛

My eyes have different degrees of near-sightedness. One requires a thicker lens than the other.
😀 😛

I think the eye doctor said I'm far-sighted. I have trouble seeing small print up close.
You like the icon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[milagros317]

I can see up close just fine. It's for distance that I need glasses. 😀 😛

Yes, I like this. ===>

They feel weird to me because I'm not used to them. But I'm getting used to them. That's a very nice thing to say, Zoddy Long Legs.

I've worn eyeglasses since I was 11 years old.

I am the odd duck in my family.My mom,three sisters,and dad(who lives in Fla) wear glasses.I don't .

New glasses can sometimes feel very strange on your ears or nose until you get used to them.
😀 😛

Oh my. 🙁

Yea actually I think 20/700 they say is legally blind. Fortunately as one gets older one gets more farsighted so that eyes vision has gotten better.

I don't know about my family history, but my parents started out without them, and I think they both have some for reading now.

I'm beyond 20/800, so legally blind without my glasses.

Almost everybody eventually needs glasses for reading.

I never tried contacts. 🙂 I dont think I would like them.

Yes, that's it. They just feel strange being there on my face like that. 😀
How long do you think it will feel strange?

Sorry my friend. 🙁 I hope the glasses can correct your vision to close to 20/20.

Frensel Lenses are quite good at magnifying things. They are most often used in large sheets to place over papers and books to make the type larger. 🙂

Thats great my friend. 🙂 Sometimes if you have astimagtism as well it can be hard to get total correction although these days they have eyeglass making down to a fine art. 😀 😛
