I'm not ready for this shit
So I went to the eye doc a few weeks ago because I was having trouble reading road signs and driving at night and generally not seeing well in general. He fitted me with progressive lenses, cause I'm an old coot and have that trombone reading distance thing going on in addition to being near sighted. Ugh. He tells me they have a new lense out now for folks who work on computers long hours everyday. So I'm thinking between work, reading fanfic (sometimes at work) and playing WoW, that these lenses would be really nice to have.
I guess I'm not a patient person because even though he said they would take some getting used to, I can't see squat with these things. I've moved the screen closer than I like because the distance portion is really tiny and up near the top of the frame. My head has to tilt down to get that really tiny area where I have computer range vision lined up with whatever I'm trying to see and it's making my neck ache. And I still don't feel like I'm see clearly. Just UGH!
He told me laser surgery costs about $5k. I think I'm still young enough to get my money's worth out of not having to buy glasses every few years.
