    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!

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

    At least we dont have ear hair

    Turns out the nose rests on my new specs are made of some plastic shit that my skin does not like 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

    Talking of seeing clearly...LOL...I drove all the way to work one morning thinking I was having a stroke, only to realise that one of the lenses had fallen out of my glasses!

    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 How do you do that and not notice before you leave the house?

    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

    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.
