    I got my glasses today!!

    Man, what a difference! I was walking through the store figuring out that the store was NOT so big you couldn't see the other side ;)

    Came home, and noticed that the trees are starting to bloom, something I couldn't see before!

    One thing, the doctor said I was not supposed to have a perscription in the lower bi-focal, which I didn't understand at the time, but there is a perscription there now. I think they were just confused :worried: Everything is crisp and sharp now!!

    Now, if I could just shake this mean cold... :blah: :blah:

    my eyesight is farely decent
    i have colour blindness but apart from that the optician says i ahve perfect eyesight

    even tho i cant focus for liek 30 secs after goign outside & my eyes water when going outside & i sometimes get really really bad headaces from computers (but im guessign that has more to do with badly set up computers)

    I'm the same as ace - anything beyond 6" goes into blur territory. my hearing is ok though. however i have no sence of smell at all, never have never will - taste is fine tho (cept i prefer sweet and salty foods and cant stand spicy or bitter or sour foods) :p

    As far as I'm aware I have perfect vision, never been tested except once at school years and years ago....

    I do get eye strain though, especially reading monitors for long periods of time... have to consciously turn away and stare out the window for a couple of minutes every 15 else they get uncomfortable and bleeedd.

    I'm pretty short sighted in both eyes (one is a little more than the other, though). Anything 6 inches away from me is a blur of colour... which can be annoying, especially when searching for the damned glasses every morning :)

    Going back to the arts thing, I trained in kempo, sambo wrestling and judo for a few years (up until an injury in 2001), but I'll hopefully be back in action in a few months. I've been training/competing without glasses for all this time - which I tell you - is bleeding hard! Makes sparring and competing that little bit more challenging, as you only see things properly when it's right (RIGHT!) in front of you, meaning you have to rely on reactions alot more.

    My excuse for getting silver rather than gold in the national sambo championships is because I wasn't wearing any glasses ;)

    Intersting situation here, abnormaly good vision in one eye (left), and really bad in the other. I can see for miles and miles away, and pick out the tinyest of objects, but it's a bit blurry, and I also have extremely good short vision (anything closer than a foot, and I can usualy see dust specs on it that nobody else can pick up). My taste is off the scale (good side), yet I can stomach things like jalipeno's whole. My smell is even better, I can sense things my neighboors are cooking, two blocks away. Hearing is top notch (last time I had it checked, the operator had to re-do the test, because he thought the machine was malfunctioning). And I have a very high tolerance for pain, yet can sense the vibration of an ultra-sound (very very few people can feel it). So yeah, I'm really messed up :D

    first of all, what's with all the thread revivals? :confused:

    anyways, my eyesight is pretty bad. i can't see anything more than 4 feet away, and things that are upclose have to be at "just the right spot" or they're blurry. my mom has terrible eyesight (she has extremely thick glasses) and my dad's is bad, but not that bad. i've seriously considered getting that eye surgery to improve your eyesight cause i hate glasses and contacts dry out when i watch movies/play games/stare at monitor.

    I have pretty good vision without my glasses. I can see almost anything its just much much easier with my glasses on. Im not sure what my presecription is is a little worse then last time but it should be better now.

    Re: Re: Realy now, how are your eyes?

    I had the same thing happen to me; shortsighted, but things didn't seem quite right closeup...I talked to the optician about it last time I went. Turns out I have a stigmatism,which means that the eye is not perfectly round, and this slightly affects my short sighted vision. Thus the lenses in the glasses are also correcting this, as well as my long range sight.

    near perfect vision in my right eye, very short-sighted in my left. Can't remember the exact perscription but for my left is very strong.
