Need Reading Glasses Now

I was only using glasses for seeing far, not for close. Now with the surgery, it has changed everything.

@LadyDuck I can't recall anyone telling me that age "corrected their problem".

@marlina When I was young I needed glasses to see far, aging the far view has "auto-corrected".

Thanks so much Julia @ Jliaacv , I have those cheap reading glasses right now as I have to wait 4 weeks before the prescribed ones. I hate it already, it's a pain in the neck, I might chose the kind that one wears all the time too. Does it show that they are bifocal?

@marlina No, mine do not have the line across them, I think that they're called progressive lens. I love them, and wouldn't go back to the readers, too much exercise taking them off and putting them on and taking them off.......

@Juliaacv Thank you so much for your input, I will certainly discuss this kind with my eye doctor when I see him again. I am already so sick of having to grab the reading glasses here and there and I am just starting.

Thanks

@marlina You are most welcomed. God bless you.

Thanks Susan @sueznewz2, I hope I find the "perfect" solution for me.

Thanks, I hope it gets better soon too.

@PainsOnSlate Good little tip, thanks.

I've written on more than one website about how to remember where you put something... I heard this on a talk show on the radio while driving somewhere and thought it was something I needed to try. The suggestion was to "Bomb" any flat serfice with your glasses (or keys or anything you tend to lose.) When you say to yourself I am bombing the buffet or dresser etc to yourself when you put that item down ....you will remember where it is. it worked for me and I was amazed. So when you put your glasses down, tell yourself you are bombing (whatever the surface is) and you will remember. Since I wear mine all the time now I don't lose them anymore...@Marty1

How do you enjoy wearing "varifocals"?

@Ronrybs Thanks for your answer.

@marlina Saves swapping pairs of glasses between reading, distance and using the computer. It took a day or two to get used to them

Thats' great! Still blurry today, I guess it will take a few more days.

@marlina no. i'd just let the nature do it's course. not going to do laser.

Are you thinking of having laser surgery one day?

Why would one wear glasses just because others do?

I guess we get used to everything in life.

@marlina very true

I had glasses for far away, but now I will need reading glasses. I know it will be a nuisance!

@DianneN Glad that the young couple is enjoying Montreal.

@marlina My son and his fiancée are in Montreal right now and loving it. Good luck with your eyeglasses.

Good luck with your surgery when the time comes.

@just4him Good that it will take a while before your surgery.

@marlina Thanks, it's going to be a while before that happens.

I think cataracts come with being older, maybe you are too young.

@HazySue You are a few years younger than I then.

@marlina I think I am old, 66, I just think that so far I am lucky.

I know, they are a necessity now for close.

@jennyjoy Yes, for reading and working with something close.

@marlina So you will have to use them continuously?.

It would be nice not to have any glasses at all.

It will be reading glasses, not for seeing far.

Because my vision has changed now. Can't do anything close without those glasses now. Pain in the neck. Maybe your parents had them and you don't remember.
