Am I the only one with reading glasses that thinks..........

Tishball

ok, so I was in a nice place, looking at the menu, holding my arm out as long as I could, and a smart ass came and gave me his glasses,......... very funny. He was right I needed glasses,. so I got glasses....... problem is I only need them for small print. I work in a shop/bar, so unless reading reciepts etc I don't need them. So ,,,,,,,,, I put the feckers down, then our bar has a till that whatever you want is in it's own square, grrrrrrrrrrrrr rural Irealnd doesn't need to know how many bulmers or how many budwiesers, that was an accountants desire, but it means I have to wear my glasses to operate the bloody till........
Thing that pisses me off, is I cant see anything else , if my reading glasses are on, so I look like an oul school teacher , ( not a young school teacher, I was careful I didn't say old, either) So its a pain, how do I NOT wear glasses , while needing glasses.. DON'T tell me about bi focals, that means wearing ordinary glass with just readers underneath, .......... eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew, and as I type this I realise that is what I will be told...... ffs. I hate that image.
Laser? for my problem?

Have you considered cocooning yourself in duct tape?

Have you lost the ability to form a cohesive sentence or do you just not have your glasses on..?

While you are running the gas off the electricity?

OP I'm going-on-24 and, up until recently, I had avoided glasses for about three years.

I wouldn't advise delay. It seriously damages your eyesight and, equally disturbingly , gives you crows' feet.

Haven't started considering laser myself but it's definitely on the cards when my student loans are paid off. one hundred years from now.

Coherence is lovely. I think others might agree.

Have you considered eye transplants?

Or arm lengthening surgery.

Not too far into the future, gene therapy will fix your eyes.

Can you not just get slightly more stylish glasses?

Ferball

You can get contact lenses that have distance and reading built in.

Or because you have little to no distance prescription you could get mono vision, which is where you wear a contact with the power of your reading prescription in just one eye. Your 3d vision is comprised but if you can get used to it, it might solve your problem.

RiseToMe

Or just get varifocals. No line, no visible Mark, just a plain lens but your reading prescription is in the bottom.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your problem.

Have you considered covering yourself in ham paste then running through a bear infested forest?

How about Varifocals? No visible sign that they're different to standard glasses. I just ordered my first pair. Disadvantages: some off-axis blur, and then there's the cost ... :eek:
