advice for my impaired vision
advice for my impaired vision
I am aged 50 and have never needed glasses. I had an eye test and the
results came out thus
Right -0.75 -0.5 x .75
Left -0.75
Add 1.75
I am told that this means I am not suitable for Lasik surgery.
Thing is , I really don't like to wear glasses - I don't even wear
sunglasses and I live in a very sunny climate.
What options are available to me apart from just accepting slight diff in
reading small print and seeing distance objects more clearly. I certainly
can live with my reduced vision but would consider perhaps contact lenses or
some type of procedure to correct my vision

Re: advice for my impaired vision
If you haven't yet started on glasses, then you are in a lucky
position. It will be easier to cure you. Forget Lasik and contacts and
glasses. Print a snellen chart and read it every day from a distance.
Practice with the imagination. See things moving. Carry the memory of
a black period with you. Close your eyes to rest them. Learn to gaze
the sun without discomfort. Blink your eyes gently to help them see.
Enjoy life.

Neil, you have a photographic memory don't you? Why don't you utilize
it? Can you remember a black period? Close your eyes now and try it.
Then open your eyes until the memory is equal with eyes open & closed.

For me, the black period ended on 6/6/07, when I killfiled it. My
filters have killfiled about 2100 posts, or an average of about 6 posts
every fucking day!

You have presbyopia. You will now need glasses to read small print.
That's just the way it is.

He doesn't need glasses. That's just not the way it is. He needs to
rest his eyes.

please disregard this idiot Zetsu.
you are presbyopic indeed, so if you have glasses or contact lenses
(or LASIK) that corrects your distance vision perfectly so you see
20/20, then you will need reading glasses to see near. otherwise you
will can take off your glasses and read at near without much
difficulty but be blurring somewhat in the distance. no amount of
"resting" or exercises can fix that. its the way humans are put
together.

It's probably just age, and happens to nearly everyone. You can no
longer see both near and far with the same correction. If you get
contact lenses for distance, you will then need reading glasses even
more.
You may wish to ask the doctor whether you are likely to pass the vision
screening to renew your driver's license without correction. This is a
big factor for many people. The requirements vary by state in the US.
I don't know about other countries.

Nearly everyone? What about the people that it doesn't happen to? Why
are they ignored? o O
