I noticed you said you had Lasik. Maybe you should go back to them, and make sure they didn’t screw something up. Perhaps a follow up visit with that clinic would be at a discounted rate or free because of the surgery. I guess depending on how long ago it was. I had my lenses replaced. It was quite expensive, but it was the best money I’ve ever spent. I haven’t had to wear glasses sense, I can see perfectly well. It’s going on eight years now.
Thank you!! My procedure was at least 5.5 years ago, can't remember. I should be able to see them again and let them look. My vision has changed a lot within this past year. I cannot see up close. I guess it happens at 44.
Yup on the age range for this. I have several Rx's now due to not wanting bifocals etc (I tried the lineless kind and couldn't stand it). So I just have distance, distance sunglasses, computer, reading.
Man. It's not fair to fall apart as we get older.
It's a bit annoying. I'm a little ahead of you at 51. When the lens shit hit I was like DAMN IT (and I've always already had glasses since like 5th grade anyway, nearsighted plus astig in one eye).
To be honest, the way I look at it is I've had a few dumb close calls (like near-misses where could have been in a BAD wreck or what have you) so I view every day after 50 with stuff still working more or less as a bonus as I coulda died a few times already. Not sure if this perspective helps or not LOL.
Edit: One interesting thing, I think our brains out-evolved our bodies. I.e. we used to die before everything crapped out generally. Lens hardening never would be thing if living till 30 was old, for example.
