Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but could'nt find a better one. I would like to hear what other guys do regarding spectacles, as my failing eyesight has been driving me mad for ages now, I am 58. A recent eye test has revealed that I basically have 3 prescriptions, my distance vision is now not as great as it was, although I am just under the threshold for needing glasses for driving. It seems I need different glasses for reading, using a computer/working, and general use/driving especially towards the end of the day when my eyes are tired. I have also got an astigmatism, which is Now causing me to get headaches and nausea.
Now, obviously, I have been to (2 different) opticians and tried different solutions, varifocals, "occupational" lenses, and now bifocals. I can't get on with any of them frankly, and I think they are beginning to despair. I am beginning to think I will just have to have 3 different pairs of glasses that I will have to swop about. The biggest problem is when working, I have to constantly put the glasses on and off, as I can see OK to move about but not work with the naked eye, but when using the latest bifocals they are a nightmare when working on light fittings where you have to crank your head right back, or on the other hand to walk down step ladders it's even worse. I am beginnng to think I would be better with those half style perch on the end of your nose type glasses! How do other guys go on??
