New Glasses

I now have glasses for nearsightedness.

My distance vision started to become noticeably worse in the last few years. A couple of years ago, during my annual physical exam, I realized that the lowest lines in the eye chart were getting out of focus. I could still correctly identify the letters because I could see their shape but they were quite blurry. Last year, a line in the eye chart I could still read well last year was no longer clear.

I had been meaning to see an ophthalmologist in the last two years but I couldn't get my HMO letter of authorization sorted out up until very recently. My doctor was really good. He said my vision is still not too bad but he did prescribe glasses for nearsightedness. He said that I didn't need to wear glasses on regular basis but he strongly recommended that I wear them while I drive. Apparently, the grade for my reading glasses has gone up as well so he gave me a prescription for those too. My doctor also said that when I purchase glasses, the salespeople would most likely try to sell me progressive ones but he said he doesn't really recommend that for me. I had the same thought, especially since my grade was still quite low and I didn't need to wear them all the time.

I bought my first pair of reading glasses from Starfinder and I was quite happy with that experience so I decided to go there again. They were able to prepare my new glasses in about 30 minutes. Cool!

Hopefully, my eyesight doesn't deteriorate too quickly so I can keep using the glasses I now have for at least a few more years.
