My "real" glasses (which, like yours, are<br /> line-less bifocals whose PC title in some circles is "progressive <br />lenses) stay with me all the time. I hate them, however. They are great <br />for reading (labels, magazines, etc.) but someone screwed up on the <br />distance part and I see distance much better without them. I don't know <br />if it was a snafu at the optometry place or if I just THOUGHT #2 looked <br />better than #1. They have chunky plastic frames, squeeze my head to the <br />point of a headache, and I only pull them out when necessary. I know <br />where every pair (save one) are.<br /><br />I know, I know...Get them <br />adjusted, get a new prescription...I think about it, but during the day <br />we get so busy I don't think about it again until the office is closed. <br />Today? They are closed.<br /><br />Contacts? Look great on me, but don't feel so great in my eyes. <br /><br />I totally feel your pain.<br /><br />What<br /> is going to REALLY suck is when I start not remembering where all of my<br /> glasses are. That's when the Hubs will laugh at me. I just know it. :)Jules The Workaholicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007567606813352980.post-40923044205143552622012-11-16T12:43:07.741-06:002012-11-16T12:43:07.741-06:00Yeah, i know. :( Just trying to cut my lenses dow...Yeah, i know. :( Just trying to cut my lenses down from 2 to 1! lolClaireLopeznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007567606813352980.post-14209789335549640002012-11-15T13:02:00.686-06:002012-11-15T13:02:00.686-06:00Uh....

So being lens-free would not be a good thing in this case! :) Best of luck to you in your surgery (whenever it may be), and I hope you come out of it without needing any additional lenses! :)Mananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007567606813352980.post-20287226966478392802012-11-15T09:33:58.261-06:002012-11-15T09:33:58.261-06:00Redundantly redundant!

Not good for driving! I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed that when I have cataract surgery, my eyes will be (mostly) prefect (or at least lens-free).

I've always be...It's, like, so ridiculous. I've always been near-sighted, so I can see just fine up close. Distances, well, forget it unless I had my glasses on, but with my glasses on, I couldn't see up close anymore. Went to contacts - great for distances (and even better - no smudges!), but sucks for up close. And there's no taking out the contacts to read a label in a store and then putting them back in (how inconvenient!). Even the bi-focal contacts (how do they do that?) are good only if the light is just right and the type is not too teeny and the moon is in alignment with Mars, or is it Jupiter? Whatever. All I know is I have to wear READERS so I can READ while wearing my contacts! Seems kinda redundant, doesn't it???Mananoreply@blogger.com
