My eyes are going bad, I think.

[redqueen]

Guess I need to get my vision checked. Ugh.

I knew you'd want to know. ;)

[Richardo]

1. Uh - We're over here. You're talking to the lamp.

Good luck, redqueen - I need glasses too but keep putting it off. :dunce:

[redqueen]

4. It's a good thing I'm not vain

I think I should take someone with me if I need glasses. I'm not very patient at picking out styles.

Thanks.

[DS1]

2. Just remember one thing

Objects In Mirror Appear To Be Losing :-)

[redqueen]

5. Uh... wait a minute...

Are you talkin about me?

:cry:

[DS1]

13. Ha!

See inspiration

[redqueen]

14. No... don't try to lie to me

I know you hate me!

[mac56]

3. I've worn glasses since I was five.

Forty-three years ago.

Now I think I'm at the point where I may need bifocals. It's vanity, plain and simple, that keeps me from getting them. Eventually I'll have to. Damn.

[redqueen]

7. Tut tut

They make you look distinguished. :)

[GingerSnaps]

6. I have an appointment tomorrow

I have to get my eyes checked.

[redqueen]

9. Getting blood test for thyroid levels tomorrow.

Have to do the eyes later...

It's so much fun getting old. :P

[GingerSnaps]

I had my thyroid checked

I take meds for it :P

[redqueen]

15. Me too

But I think they're not working so good anymore. I'm cold all the time, so I think I might need a bit higher dosage.

[GingerSnaps]

24. I am on

1 mg what are you on?

[redqueen]

26. .075

That sounds like a teensy weensy amount compared to you. ?

Synthroid?

19. I would prioritize thyroid over eyes...

but there is nothing wrong with being presbyopic...It literally means vision of the elders. And we ALL know how much EXPERIENCE plays into actually _seeing_ what you are looking at.

As a wearer of the no-line bifocal...I say...GET FRIGGIN CONTACTS and a pair of reading glasses :)! These things are expensive and regardless of Ben Franklin's genus, bifocals of all types just don't work very well. I can't see up close or far away, and nothing is in focus in between.

[redqueen]

20. I don't think I could do contacts

:shrug:

[HereSince1628]

27. Sure you can, relax, use a lubricant preferably with an anesthetic

Getting this right takes practice but its something you'll come to enjoy ;) .

8. i noticed this about my eyes

at the tender age of twenty five

now, many moons later, im also gonna hafta hit the bifocals...

damn.

i remember not even knowing i couldnt see until a friend asked me to read a sign on the road, and i couldnt. i picked up her glasses, and lo and behold, i saw the sign, the pebbles, the leaves...

[redqueen]

10. I've always had good eyesight

But this week I've noticed ... not so much anymore. Things are just blurry. :(

[Fleshdancer]

11. I only have one eye that's going bad

apparently, if I ever want to wear contacts, I'll only have to wear one. Isn't that odd? I've never heard of that before but my optometrist said it was pretty normal.

[redqueen]

16. That is odd

But think of all the money you'll save. :)

[skygazer]

12. Oh, I thought you said

"My eggs are in bed and stink."

I have lousy vision - I'm close to blind in my left eye. The right's not too bad but it makes it hard when you don't really have any depth perception. I've been wearing glasses or contacts since I was 8.

I just try to focus (joke!) on how much worse off I could be. I could be blind or deaf or confined to a wheelchair. As it is, I just squint a lot.

[redqueen]

17. I used to have a friend who was blind in one eye

She tried to explain to me about the depth perception... it just made me scared to ride in a car with her. :P

Yes, we could all be worse off. It could be raining.

[eyesroll]

18. Just remember...

Glasses are sexy.

[redqueen]

21. Rrrrrrrrr!

How're YOU doin?

;)

[mac56]

22. Glasses are sexy on women.

On guys, not-so-much.

[redqueen]

23. You're so wrong.

So very, very wrong.

Trust me, I know.

[eyesroll]

25. I have never dated anyone who didn't wear glasses

(Not intentionally, but looking back it worked out that way.)

I guess I'll see if that streak continues.
