I have been resisting getting eyeglasses for some time. I have used readers more and more often over the last few years, but my far vision was still pretty good. At least the NC DMV thought so when they issued my license to drive the big rig in December. However, I have seen further deterioration in both my near and far vision, to the extent I was really starting to have problems seeing well, particularly if the object was closer than 3' or further than 4' away. When I went in for my annual retinopathic exam in May, I also had a full vision exam.
The doctor. was amazed that I hadn't gotten glasses before.
So, I took the prescription and got my glasses. They do help my vision, but I really don't like wearing them. I guess it just takes getting used to. I feel sorta like those little Geico eyeballs that keep following everybody around on TV. I got the lined bi-focals and am starting to think I should have gotten a progressive bi-focal. Oh well. We'll see.
Wow, I can actually read that road sign!
