Eye Damage

I like @barfo 's suggestion more. A pirate eye patch would be pretty sweet

Zeiss frames and lenses?

My woman works for Zeiss. Really good lenses if you didn't get the cheapest ones, and no one shape is more popular than the other. It goes by the shape of your face.

I wear transition lenses with UV filter and a few other features (anti-glare, bifocal).

I wear them when I am awake. If I leave the house, they become sunglasses with UV protection.

In spite of this, the eye doctor told me I have a small amount of eye damage, similar to what you describe.

He said it would be many years before it's an issue, and it's something like, or a form of, cataracts.

No idea. won't be able to pick them up until a week or two. Neither frames (mine or wifeys) are Zeiss though. She got some designer ones she thought were fancy. Kate Spade or something.

In college when I would be in a hurry I would unintentionally do math problems backwards and still get the right answer. Halfway through the problem I would flip it.

Not sure if it was all interrelated but the nun who was my 1st grade teacher cured me of being left handed by slamming a huge key ring or ruler on my hand. By the end of 1st grade I was last in my class in reading. 2nd grade I started taking piano and by the end of the school year I was 1st in my class in reading.

I read that twice. Some how I think I still have it out of sequence.

Ha! Wait until they tell you, you don't need any, they can't make any that will help.

That I don't know. I don't spend that much time outside. Only times I can think of were this summer putting new house siding on at my moms or when we went to Vegas last may. What was your damage from?

Shingles, Summer 2014. Is their anyone on this board who doesn't wear glasses?

Not sure if you can get it with your issues (I didn't think I could get it with astigmatism-but that is a myth now I guess) but I splurged and got iLasik a few years ago. Best decision of my life. Love not having to wear contacts or glasses anymore.

Wasn't that expensive either as I used my work health flex plan to pay for the majority of it (it is a plan where they take out 200, for example, a month out of your paycheck but you get the full 2400 on a benefits visa card upfront).

I've considered Lasik, but I'm an accountant and risk averse. Even if you told me 1 in 100 million people go blind from the surgery, I'm going to assume I'm the one person, and would rather just wear contacts and/or glasses my entire life.

I've heard great things from people though that have gotten lasik.

I have this fear that when I finally decide to get Lasik surgery...the big earthquake happens just when I'm under the beam

I'm not vane, so I don't mind wearing glasses.

Eyes go bad because the muscles that focus get older and weaker with time.

I need two prescriptions in the same glasses. One for seeing far and one for up close reading. The reading part is a magnifying glass, so it makes working on and seeing small things with tiny detail pretty easy. I can thread a needle with ease, for example.

My brother was diabetic and got LASIK. 10 years later he went legally blind. Now you've heard negative things.

Doctor gave me too much of the wrong medication and my eyes became so sensitive to light that I had to wear sunglasses at night. Thanks Corey Hart. It was so bad that if I left my eyes open to long in the dark the smoke detector battery light would permanently burn my pupils. Eventually, they got my blood levels back and I was taken off the meds..... but not before I gotten multiple inner infections, lost my balance for the better part of a month and used a bottle of TheraTears a day. I recently got some floaters in my direct sight of vision.... but I don't give a shit, as long as I can walk and see in the daylight, I'm fine!

My father and mother in law both got lasik because they couldn't see far away.

Five years later and they needed reading glasses and can't read anything close up.

Not bad.

Must have chosen perfect vision when you were created.

I opted for a giant dong instead.

Uh Oh! Perhaps your eyes are worse than you realize.

The same happens with lens transplants. You pick your prefer distance without aid. Most people opt for seeing unaided at a distance, and reading glasses for short distance.
It would really suck for picking up a fast ball or reading the turn of the seams for curve as the ball traverses through the change range.

I wear my sunglasses at night....

Cuz when you're cool like me, the sun shines on you 24 hours a day.

FAMS!

I wore glasses from the time I was 2 years old (they thought they knew a whole lot more back then, when actually they didn't know shit). Eventually, as an adult, I actually ended up needing them. About two years ago I had cataract surgery. My vision is now 20/20 (20/15 with corrective lens). It feels like an absolute miracle.....though my reading vision is terrible. But I love not having to wear glasses for distance. Before anyone tries lasik, make sure your eye doctor checks thoroughly for cataracts. It's a way better option if you can qualify....

So do I, and I'm nearly twice your age. Talk to me if you still have perfect vision in 15 years, whipper-snapper.

Computers have ruined my perfect vision.
