I’ve worn glasses for all of my adult life, I’ve accepted that it’s part of life, and for the most part it doesn’t bother me. About four years ago I let the eye doctor talk me into getting bifocals, which turned out to be a nightmare. I’m not sure if it was because of the style of the frames and location of the bifocals, but I absolutely could not wear them without getting major headaches! They tried to adjust the location of the bifocals two different times, but it just didn’t help. At that point, I resorted to wearing my prescription glasses for everything but reading and computer work, and that worked out well.
But lately it’s been getting more and more evident that that isn’t going to continue to work out. At this house my computer is set up in the family room, as is my husbands. It’s a decent sized room, probably 18 foot by 18 foot, and besides our desks it also holds a recliner, the dogs couch, the wood burner and a large entertainment center with a 36 inch TV.
My desk sits directly across the room from the TV and I’ve found that if I wear my glasses so that I can actually see the TV well, I cannot do work on my computer at the same time because my glasses make the print on my monitor very small and blurry. But when I take my glasses off so that I can see what’s on my monitor clearly, I then can’t read anything that’s on the TV screen…LOL!
My husband says I need to invest in a good pair of magnifier reading glasses, which he’s probably right. But then I’ll have to go back and forth between the reading glasses and my prescription glasses depending on what it is I want to be able to see. I’m thinking it’s time for me to save up my money and look into getting LASIK surgery because this is just annoying!
