Yes, I know it has been quite a while since my last post here, so if you read this blog, I apologize. However, I know that I am possibly the only one to see the site and that’s fine too. But I did want to post something neat that I discovered this week—yes, besides Motorola Xoom, a new update to my rooted Android phone, things working out some for the poor folks in Japan (and not in that order by any stretch).
I have been wearing reading glasses since my 40th birthday. The eye doc said that was usually the birthday present that many got at that celebration…or near to it.
Since I have almost 20/20 distance vision I have a plethora of dollar store reading glasses around my digs and work, at all time. I also usually have a pair on my head since they are easy to find and I have to try and remember where I left them.
A month or so ago I heard someone mention that they had one contact lens for distance and in the other eye one for reading so they didn’t need any glasses.
I thought, “hmmm, I wonder if I could wear just one contact for reading?”
I had an eye doc appointment coming up in a couple of weeks and figured I would ask. Guess what? I now wear one contact in my right eye and can see well enough, well to type this on my notebook. That is cool.
I am going to donate all but one of my reading glasses to somewhere and keep one for just in case scenarios.
I used to where contacts for about 30 years and quit about 10 years ago for no real reason that I can think of. It was just like riding a bike popping in the first one last week. The newer contacts are much thinner and much easier to take care of than in the olden days. However, (here it comes) they are a real pain to put in. In the ancient times, I would touch it to my eye and it would just jump on. Now, you have to cajole them on, play with them, move and rub them. And so far after a week with it, it takes me longer to put it in.
I go for a check up the middle of next week to make sure all is well with it and will ask for the secret installation procedure.
You may want to check this out too. And I went to a place that took good care of me so here is an add for “America’s Best Contact and Eyeglasses”. Apparently a new franchise I had never heard of and although they are good and inexpensive, they add is slightly off from reality in my opinion.
