New glasses

Yep. I just got my first pair last year, I could barley wear them more then an hour at a time at first, they gave me headaches and made me feel dizzy and I always felt like I was going to fall lol. After a few weeks of wearing them more often they got better, I wear them all day long now and have no issues. Really sucked at first though.
Go LASIK it's the way to go. Had it done about 5 years ago and it's the best investment I've ever done.
Thanks for the tip I'll check it out
Make sure youre looking through the glasses at the object you want to focus on, not at the glasses.
Isn't it true that Lasik won't work for everyone? Does it help with both far sightedness and near sightedness?
The first question ever asked by James Snover!
I was told that they can fix only one or the other not both.
That is correct Bob, it's not for everyone. LASIK can correct far and nearsightedness. I had an astigmatism in both eyes that were corrected too.
I asked my doctor that too. During the consultation they measure the thickness of your cornea with what looks like a stylus pen. From there they can let you know how many times you can get the procedure done. For me he said I can have it done twice safely and maybe a third time if I really want to get it done. As you age and your eyes change you'll need glasses/contacts again or have another procedure done. For me my prescription had not changed for 5 years so I was a good candidate for it.
Aspirin will help
I know! It was an honor to be asked a question by the James Snover, and I even knew the answer too boot!
Ya I've always known I needed glasses I just never went in to get checked lol and when I did I was surprised by how much better I can see the fine print on things up close and far away hahaha
Yes. Every time I renew my eyeglass prescription it takes me a week or two to used to the new one.
But I will never switch away from glasses. They have saved my eyesight twice.
Once when I was cleaning some rusty boat parts on a polisher with a 12 inch wire wheel. I was wearing my prescription glasses and had safety glasses on over them. And a wire came off the wheel and went completely through the safety glasses and stuck most of the way through my regular glasses. A few years later I was welding an iron pipe on a gas industrial dryer and the pipe spit back and the glob of molten iron melted through my face shield and splattered on my glasses. So that was twice my glasses saved an eyeball.

As you age, your focal point somewhat moves out. This is true even if you start out nearsighted. Lasik, if performed in your 20's or 30's will last for a number of years, then, as part of the aging process, you will slowly become farsighted. Personally, being nearsighted, chose not to do LASIK, as I correct to 20-20 with contacts and will always be able to read and see small things without them.
You guys are giving me way too much credit. If you really want to hear me sound dumb, start talking about dealing with women and how make a dollar.
I've seen some of your threads and it makes my brain hurt. That's funny about the women and dollars. :lol:
