OMG! I can see clearly [Archive]

I broke my old glasses a while ago, thankfully I did not have to resort to gaffer tape or a bandaid to fix them. A little dab of super glue did the trick, though I could not close one temple (arm) anymore and they were suspiciously off camber on my face. I have had these things for several years, I am a bit hard on my specs and have had to replace the temples on both sides since I have had them and now can no longer buy the spares I needed. So, time for new ones :pinch:

My new specs arrived on a late courier this afternoon and I have my new eyes. What a friggen hoot. I always thought I could see really well with my old ones. HA! These things are so clear it is a bit spooky :lol:

Maha is down getting a WOF on the Unshit, I wonder what he really looks like :dodge:

So did you tell your old Optometrist to stick it up his arse, Mom?
These new specs are prescribed by the "new" one?

They most certainly are from the new one. Took a bit of time, I had to save up for some other tests as well, but all is sweet as now. These are straight on my face, I cant begin to tell you how nice that feels. Oh, and I can see :D

I got progressive lense specs a couple or so years ago.
When I finally got used to them, it was quite a revelation. I can "see" where you're coming from, Mom! :)

As weird as this might sound, a girl from my teenage years just popped into my head. XXXX Muncie.

Now General Motors made a very good gearbox they dubbed the 'Muncie' and XXXX had, by all accounts, (not from my experience, you understand) a liking for the pleasures of the flesh.

It was sorta natural that she became known as XXXX Muncie, four-speed box.

A different animal, a different time, as I said it just popped into my head, sorry.:weep:

Reminds of me of one of my sons...at the age of 5 we discovered he was shortsighted and needed glasses. He was a lovely kid...but none too bright.
The optician told him that he really needed to look after his glasses and put them in a safe place when he wasn't wearing them. A story that was often repeated by me...

After 3 weeks his glasses were in for repair for the 4th time. The optician kindly said "His eyesight is not really that bad, I think we'll leave the glasses in the meantime and just keep a check on him"

The safe place that he had put them...under the mat at the back door! :argh:

Easy. Whisky glass? Leave 1/4 in the glass next to your bed and follow your nose. Kick start your day.

I'm always the slowest to leave in a group ride.... After I fluff around putting my ear plugs in, then glasses (no flip up helmet here).

My son just went to contacts and loves them (after getting used to the bastards). Maybe I should do the same and look even less intelligent. With the sad looking beard I'm growing, would help the biker stereotype I suppose! :laugh:

Women of a certain age sprout hair in the most terrible places, moustache springs to mind here you grubby buggers :lol:

At least we dont have ear hair :sunny:

Turns out the nose rests on my new specs are made of some plastic shit that my skin does not like :pinch: They dont slip down my nose but by golly they sure make their presense felt. Take them back tomorrow for new nose bits, meantime I am back to the tried and trues. Not as clear by a long shot but at least the top of my nose is not on fire :eek5:

I got a call from a woman at work one morning, she starts really early. Could I please pick up some contact solution for her on my way to work, she had her contacts in the wrong eyes :Oops: How do you do that and not notice before you leave the house?

O dear....

I have 3 pair of specs. general wearing and driving lenses, gawky framed reading lenses and small frames to fit into my lid. I LIKE specs, they hide the lines and bags under my eyes.

I rate the progressive specs. Saves the arse-ache of changing specs all the time.
It took about a fortnight to get used to them, no worries after that

First glasses I got were for reading music on a stand a set distance from where I was sitting/standing. Progressed from there. I love the fact I can see over a range of distances now. I dont need them for distance though, just close up stuff.

I'm the same... although apparently most people DO have a slight distance prescription.
I have found I don't get quite so tired after a big day at work, the old peepers are a bit more relaxed

Edbear

17th February 2010, 08:37

Nah the nature of my work means I cant use the stupid things, I spend a lot of time looking straight ahead at close range not down. apart from that, only old people have those lenses....

ouch, *runs REAL fast*

I have the traditional bi-focals, thanks... ;)

Same here, I have an astigmatism and cataracts. Middle distance is improved though very long distance is no different with or wthout the glasses. I was having increasing problems with night vision and the glasses have greatly improved that.

I'll eventually need an op for the cataracts but hopefully not for a couple of years yet.
