Seriously bro...Is it the lazy eye that is bothering you? :freak:

And, I know those coke bottle glasses you wear are uncomfortable. It doesn't help that daisy makes you wear the the strap that holds them on so you don't lose them. :nerd:

Check your palms, bro.

If they have hair growing on them, then its time to stop, before you go blind. Consider this a wake-up call! ;)

I have 20/13 vision uncorrected, but am a little bit farsighted so reading sometimes requires my glasses.

Not good. Ever since I was a kid I had normal vision in my left eye, and was extremely farsighted and slightly astigmatic in the right one. As a result my brain mostly ignores the right one.

That was okay until presbyopia set in when I was 43, and I went straight from no correction to bifocals. They've been getting worse since then, and I now need reading glasses to even see the computer screen. I hate it.
 
noun: farsightedness resulting from a reduced ability to focus caused by loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens with age


Presbyopia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Presbyopia is the eye's diminished power of accommodation that occurs with aging. The most widely held theory is that it arises from the loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens, although changes in the lens' curvature from continual growth and loss of power of the ciliary muscles (the muscles that bend and straighten the lens) have also been postulated as its cause.

Presbyopia is not a disease as such, but a condition that affects everyone at a certain age. The first symptoms are usually noticed between the ages of 40-50. For those with good distance vision, it may start with difficulty reading fine print, particularly if the lighting is poor, or with eyestrain when reading for long periods. Many advanced presbyopes complain that their arms have become "too short" to hold reading material at a comfortable distance.

[edit]
Treatment
Presbyopia cannot be cured, but the loss of focusing ability can be compensated for by corrective lenses including eyeglasses or contact lenses. In subjects with other refractory problems, multifocal lenses (such as bifocal or trifocal lenses) or progressive lenses are used. In some cases, the addition of bifocals to an existing lens prescription is sufficient. As the ability to change focus worsens, the prescription needs to be changed accordingly.

Around the age of 65, the eyes have usually lost most of the elasticity. However, it will still be possible to read with the help of the appropriate prescription. Some may find it necessary to hold reading materials further away, or require larger print and more light to read by. People who do not need glasses for distance vision may only need half glasses or reading glasses.

In order to reduce the need for bifocals or reading glasses, some people choose contact lenses to correct one eye for near and one eye for far with a method called "monovision". Monovision sometimes interferes with depth perception. There are also newer bifocal or multifocal contact lenses that attempt to correct both near and far vision with the same lens.

New surgical procedures may also provide solutions for those who do not want to wear glasses or contacts.

Ahh. Interesting. I have a slight astigmatism as well.


:cow:
 
I went myopic over the period of around two weeks when I was eleven. I always reckoned that as I reached my dotage the tendency to become hypermetropic would result in an eventual perfect eyesight.

Alot better after my laser surgery, about 20/20

Me too. I was actually 20/10 for about a year after surgery. I'm now probably 20/30, but I had the orbs lasered about 10 years ago.

I was -6.00 in both eyes prior. Best money I ever spent.
 
mine are fucked!
Usually I calibrate them with 2 cold buds.
 
my eyes are going bad
my hearing has been shit for 20 years
but I got good taste
 
mine are 20 20. Which is cool, but kinda sux too. I get alot of headaches usually in the winter or at least not since last winter. Anyway i thought I needed glasses, but the doc said I'm good to go. I think maybe it's cause of the bright ass sun reflecting off the snow while I'm at work.
 
Mine suck ass anyone want them lol. I have 20/140 vision. Been that way since birth nothing anyone can do about it so I have to live with it an have been for 27 years.
