Thread: Going to need glasses

The other day I was in a optician with my wife because she needs new glasses, she usually wears contacts but has a pair of glasses for when she's tired.

So I was wondering about the eye testing and how they do it. And when I asked the woman in the store she replied: "Would you like to try it?" So we did and it turns out I have cylindrical eyes....just like my dad has only less severe. Which means that in the distance I can see less sharp and my eyes are constantly adjusting and never relaxing. So today I'm going to go out and find some glasses...weird, I never knew about it.

Just think of it as an opportunity to pimp yourself up. Even though I have an amazing eye-sight (to make up for my bad hearing/sense of smell lol) I've ben considering getting a nice frame and non-prescription lenses just for the look.

Meh, nothing wrong with glasses, especially when you can get some sweet shades too

I should probably go for an eye test some time too; just to make sure everything is alright. I don't think I've ever been to an optrician, but I have done the simple eye tests by doctors. Last time I had it was a while ago, but apparently I had slightly better than 20/20 vision. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if it's dropped off some since.

My uncle has some horrible vision. I put on his glasses and the world is completely warped, yet for him, he sees clear as day through them

I have needed glasses since I was 13. I have hated them for years but contacts are not as bad. Especially the disposable ones.

bunch of 4-eyes... the entire lot of ya!!!


so there, i said it

ya glasses can look awesome. My wife has perfect vision, but sometimes I make her try on glasses in the stores just cause she looks really hot lol.

As I work with computers, I get a full free eye test every year, which is good as i need glasses for reading. A few months ago they kitted me out with a nice pair of varifocals which allow me to look at close up paperwork and the computer screen at the same time. I was told they were almost £200 worth!

I'd reccomend a regular eye test as it can spot several other things like diabetes as well as other serious eye problems which are easier to fix early on.

I first found my eyesight wasn't as good close up as it used to be when standing at the urinals in the office and found I couldn't quite focus on the wall in front of me! Strange way to find out I was getting old. (The hair went years ago!)
