So, I had my eyes examined....

larryinlc · 10-12-2010, 08:07 PM

I thought it was time to have the eyes checked. At the age of 54, I've been using the usual reading glasses, but I've had a terrible time with the 2 to 2.5 foot distance from my eyes to the computer screen. I was fitted for a pair of .75 diopter glasses and I can only say, what the heck took me so long? I haven't seen this good in a couple years. This is got to be my greatest purchase of the year. This might not seem like a big deal to most here, but I feel like I have a whole new set of eyes. It's a great day!

Oh, and no signs of glaucoma or cataracts and my distance vision is 20/20.

Thats excellent Larry. Good news Brother. Enjoy your new found love for vision!

Age takes that vision from us a day at a time and we don't realize it!

Glad you can see better now!!!

Don't remind me. I've GOT to go have me eyes checked. And I know they ain't right. But congrats on your newfound vision, and thanks for nudging me a little, too.
