I finally got my eyes checked today...Its been over 8/9 yrs since I got new glasses and been putting it off for way too long. My old glasses were taped together and I would ONLY wear them home to watch tv or when driving out of town (In town I know where I'm going no need to read the signs...cars are BIG...LOL I can see them no problem...LOL) I also decided I'd try getting contacts and wear them all the time, the last year my eye sight has been getting worse and I knew I was getting to the point I needed something ALL the time..... I CAN SEE AGAIN!!! I was so nervous about the contacts but they are fine, I wish I did this yrs ago!!! Everything looks so clear....AMAZING...I really really really want to go for lasik in the next couple years

It is a great feeling, isn't it? LOL...something we almost take for granted at times. I went back to contacts also simply because I hate wearing glasses and therefore, DON'T and I was really getting to a point where I needed to. I got lazy and quit wearing contacts but decided to suck it up and go back, LOL.

Anyway, congrats and I hope they continue to do well for you.

It's been 7years since my prescription..I really need to get new glasses..I can't drive at night ...When I see headlights it looks like they are in my lane and I start flipping out

When I first saw this I couldn't help but laugh. It put me in mind of my ex sister-in-law some years ago.
She had never had glasses or even had her eyes examined.
She and her dh was riding through the country one nice summer day. All at once she said "John, look over in that field. All those pigs have died". His answer to her was "Ida, those aren't pigs, they are rocks".
Needless to say, she went the next week for an eye exam and was promptly fitted with glasses.
She said after getting them she realized she wasn't even seeing things on tv the way they really were.

Congratulations Valerie!! As a middle aged woman who needs new glasses every two years I can truly appreciate your newfound vision!

Thats how bad mine were getting....my old prescription was just not strong enough anymore!! GO DO IT!! Get your eye exam!! I should have done this a long time ago...It's amazing even how much better everything looks

I wear glasses for computing, watching TV, and driving. Otherwise they are annoying... that is called needing bifocals, LOL. I won't go there.

My eyes don't change much from appointment to appointment (I go once a year) and so I had last year's pair coated with U/V blocking tint for $10 at the eyeglass store and so now they are prescription sunglasses that I can actually see out of when I am outside. Hah.

Welcome to the world of sight. I remember when I first got mine, I was telling my husband, "the trees actually have leaves!" at the side of the road. So cool to be able to see.
