Do you wear reading glasses? At what age did you need to wear them?

well they had hoped that the glasses would pull my eyes straight and I went through the thing of having a patch over one eye to try and make the other work harder and strenthen it and then the patch would be swaped over the next day to try and strengthen that one. I think that between my parents and the doctors they decided it wasn't working and put me in for the op. They basically tightend the muscles in the eyes to pull them straight and it worked. I know someone who had this operation several times and although her eyes did improve they were never quite right. Had a bit of an up and down week really. Have had bad toothache for the last week but the pain got so much today I couldn't bear it and got down to the emergency dentist who has thankfully fixed though temporarily until I can get to see my own. I have had problems with dizzy spells for a couple of months but the doc says that my blood tests don't show anything abnormal. I should go back really but it is having the time. It might be caused from spending too much time on myLot!!

Oh, no. MyLot is a very healthy endeavor.In fact, I believe it is chock-full of vitamins and minerals! I hope you get that tooth taken care of. Thanks:)

Hey there, friend! That's pretty unusual to start out so young wearing glasses and then spending so many years without!Good for you. How is your week going? It's a beautiful sunny day here and the leaves are just starting to show some color. I love the fall! It's my favorite season.. heidi

Do you mean plastic lenses for your frames or are you speaking of contact lenses?

Are the plastic lenses much lighter?

Yes plastic lenses for my frames. I have had glasses so long that going to contacts at this point would be just, well weird.

I like the picture of you forcefully putting reading glasses on your husband.lolSorry, I'm in a silly mood this morning. Thanks:)

80's glasses were huge! I had a pair of frames with clear glass that I used as safety glasses in the dental office where I worked years ago. My daughter wore them to school on 80s day and everyone thought they were hilarious! And I thought I was so stylish back then.Bummer! Thanks:)

u just never know what's going to happen. good thing we don't, i guess.

I was fortunate that both of my parents had excellent eyesight. That's why it is rather ironic that my oldest brother was born blind. Although it was not genetic is still seems weird. Thanks:)

They can be pretty stylish too. I don't know where you stand politically, but I just love Sarah Palin's glasses. If I had to get them, I'd get a pair of those. Thanks

Hmmm. I have never heard that before. Thanks for your response:)

Not to mention having to keep track of your glasses and not losing them. My husband buys very cheap reading glasses and keeps many pairs all around the house. Then he doesn't have to wonder where they are. Thanks:)

That's pretty good. I hope I can last that long too! Thanks:)

You are right. It's a blessing! Thanks:)

My husband had laser surgery for cataracts a few years back. He used to need prescription glasses. Now he only needs reading glasses. He was glad that he had the surgery. Thanks:)

I'm sure that you are right! Thanks:)

Oh, yes! Computer eye-strain! Thanks:)

I think you are still quite young yet Thank you:)
