Glasses & eyes

[JerryNumbers]

Recently got new glasses, today I went in and he dilated my eyes. They are not really bothering me, yet it seems difficult to focus and read from my monitor. I'm going to read some post, but prOBably want make no comments till later tonight when I can see just a bit clearer. Maybe in a couple or more hours they will be back to normal.

It had been over 5 years since I had my eyes checked, new glasses help me much more than I thought they would, but doc said they are doing right good considering the eye injuries I've had.

Thanks for the update Brother Jerry hope you get to seeing better soon

Frustrating I bet. that's how I feel about my hearing aids at time. I want to focus on something, and the machine just can't cooperate with me. Just keep blending sounds in one.

Are you seeing better yet?

[JerryNumbers]

Yes, I can see so much better, thank you!

They put that dilating stuff in my eyes at about 1:15 PM, it did not wear off until well after 8:00PM. That feeling is enough to give a person a big bad headache.

Strange, I always used a pair of reading glasses at my computer. After getting this new pair of glasses Wednesday of last week, I kept trying to use my old reading glasses, but everything was blurred. Finally I put my new glasses on, and its all clear.

Wednesday afternoon when I got my new glasses on waking out of the docs office, I stood there just looking at the clouds in the sky, and across the street towards the court house where some people were walking along the side walk thinking, wow, its nice to see all of that and its in focus.

The glasses I had time before last where the Transition lenses, I got them again this time and I really like them.

Sounds excellent.

Glad you can see better Jerry.

Would "transition lenses" be what we call "variafocals"? If so I use them and have got on brilliantly with them right from the first time I tried them. Others can't get on with them at all. I keep suggesting that my wife tries them. Our optician has them at no extra cost, and says that if you don't get on with them they will change them for single vision lenses..

Transition Lenses go from being shaded in the daylight to being regular inside.

Isn't it a lovely site when you realize the world you have been missing because it is going by in a blur and it all finally becomes clear again? I know the first time I got contacts even though my vision was barely effected it made a difference. I was like whoa.

[Kayla]

Me too, when I put on my glasses it was like...wow!!

[JerryNumbers]

Yes it is, its nice to see everything clear, I'm wearing my glasses more than I ever have because they clear up the world for me.


Here is the web site for Transition Lenses. I really like them when going outside in the bright sun.

And as others said its not the bifocal, although I do have bifocals, but not the Progressive lenses.

My 1st pair of glasses back in the very early 90's was the Progressive lenses, but they did not work for me, tried a 2nd set of lenses and it was the same thing, so i went with the regular ones and never tried them again.

speaking of glasses, I had to take our son to a new eye doctor (our insurance stopped covering our old eye doctor). Our son had one good eye and the other was about +3.25

This new doctor thinks his good eye need +.50 and made the other one look stronger +3.50. I don't think our son is doing well with them. His eyes always seem watery now and I wonder if it is just allergies or his glasses is too strong for him. He seem to see ok with them, though.

It could be allegergies. I honestly don't know. I know that my boyfriend had glasses until he entered the military. When he got into the military, they found out he had 20/20 vision. Someone messed up.

You might ask that question here.

I don't really know much about the place, I just happen to find it on a search earlier tonight and read a couple of post.
