I had to buy my first pair of reading glasses today. Oh they are soooo unflattering.
Damn you, small print!

Astronuc said:I finally had to get reading glasses three years ago (eye strain was pretty bad by the end of the day), and a test 2.5 years ago confirmed a diminshed ability to focus within 18 inches. My farsight is fine, but I need glass to read fine print and obtain sharp images when reading, or working on things 6-18'' from my face.

Periodically a screw pops out of the frame of the eyeglasses. Then eye hold the glasses close to set the screw and then make sure its tightened. Otherwise, I periodically work on electronics or models, and that sometimes required get in close. But then I'll use a look or magnifying glass.Moonbear said:I rarely need to hold anything that close to my face to work on it. Actually, I usually can't get that close if I wanted to...part of the don't stick your head in the hood and inhale toxic chemicals and don't get so close to the sterile field to breathe bacteria onto it rules.

But I think glasses are cool, so no big deal.
I liked Humanino's idea. I want the Marilyn cat eye glasses:

Good glasses can look fabulous really, and be a plus. There are tons of different glasses, and you just need to choose the right shape for you type.Math Is Hard said:I want the Marilyn cat eye glasses
Before I broke them, I got many compliments on my glasses. Some people even thought I was wearing them without actually needing correction. I also had to pay for thinner glasses.Moonbear said:A lot of those reading glasses sold in drugstores really ARE unflattering. But, glasses in general are not. You can buy nice, flattering frames for prescription glasses, but of course those are going to cost a lot more than the ones from the drugstore. On the other hand, if you're starting to need reading glasses and haven't been for an eye exam in a while, you should certainly be getting an exam anyway. Insurance might cover at least some of the cost of new glasses.

No, I've always been this way. I got it from my father and he from his. So tell me wise guy, how many fingers am I holding in front of my face. I'll give you a hint. 3.tribdog said:I can close my eyes and tell how many fingers I am holding up in front of my face. There is something more than eyesight that has gone bad with you
