Today was a much better day. I had a really difficult time adjusting to the new prescription, the up close part changed quite a bit.... Probably for not wearing my glasses like I was supposed to because of the masks.

    I've been prescribed new eye-drops by my doc. They get sore when I wake up in the mornings. At least he didn't refer me to the eye clinic as I thought he would have.
    Yes, getting old sucks
I'm terrible at eye drops... I'm terrible at eye related stuff in general, actually.

Yum! Lasagna!! It's one of my top 5 favorite foods! We could watch a few episodes of 'Good Girls' ... My new favorite addiction.

    I've tried the one close/ one far contacts, didn't care for that. Now I wear 1 contact for far and I can easily see near and far.
One of my coworkers told me they now have contacts for people that wear bifocals. She ended up getting them and giving them a whirl.... I'm 100% certain I can't put anything in my eyes, so contacts are out for me. I have a tough time just doing an eye drop.

    I put on new progressives after wearing my old non-progressive glasses all day and had to take them off 15 minutes later as they were making me nauseous. I put the progressives on the next morning and had nary a problem after that. i have not had lined bifocals, so do not know about them.

    I am at this point taking my glasses off to read (I am quite near sighted) as the progressive power needs to be increased. I do have to hold the material close. Somehow my arms become too short and then a new pair of optical glasses make them normal once again.
Mine are the non-lined progressives.... it's a new prescription though. I'm not new to progressives, but these ones are really messing with my depth perception.

I get headaches when I don't wear them... It doesn't help that the vision in my right eye is progressively getting worse, but the other eye is staying about the same.

Guinness me, I tried bi-focals, they just made me feel dizzy. That was an expensive mistake.

Have you heard tried these new variable focus readers you can buy? I think you can adjust the lens strength to suit, different for each eye. I'm thinking of trying them, but I'd like to hear from someone who has first. At the moment though, I just use the inexpensive readers, I got fed up buying expensive specs and losing them or sitting on them!
