Or what do they call them now? Extended viewing lenses? Last year, our doctor said,Maybe you need bifocals, maybe not yet. So today is my appointment and he says Definitely you get bifocals today. Unless you don't want them. I don't want them. I take my glasses off to read a book, and my laptop is halfway across the dining room table, eh? What's the problem?
( Resistance is futile)
Then we talked about laser surgery. He said I am an excellent candidate. I want to do it! No more glasses, no more contacts, no more glasses, no more contacts....wait, he said I would then need those little demi glasses to read. What! Oh those aren't cool at all. Only Kim Bassinger can pull those off and look good. Maybe I'll quit reading. Damn it.

Ugh, me too.
I hate bifocals.
You know how gay men call themselves and each other "fag" to take the sting away from straight people calling them "fag?" That's how my reading glasses work. I got the readingglassesiest reading glasses I could find, thinking, hey, it won't hurt when people point and whisper if I beat them to pointing and whispering AT myself.
I also got a regular distance contact lense for my right eye, and a toric (astigmatism) lense corrected for up-close vision for my left eye, and a toric & distance lense for my left eye in case I'm feeling up to wearing the FUCK IT ALL TO HELL reading glasses.
I still haven't had new glasses made -- you know, glasses-glasses, that correct for distance so I don't walk into walls or drive into stop signs or whatever when I'm not reading.
Just call me ol' Twelve Eyes, I guess.
Imperfect vision is the single most unfair thing in the entire world.
Saggy boobs isn't so hot either.
I'm having a pissed as hell period. Gotta go change my crotch rocket. No, wait. Gotta change my F-14. Saving the crotch rocket for NEXT week.
(Actually, I AM sober:-))
oooh, the pesky bifocal thang. I can't really comment, I'm still in the "never give up, never surrender" ("never go back to the eye doctor") stage.
Rage, Rage, against the coming of the bifocals!
Just start learning to read you some braille, and then fuck those bifocals all to hell! muhwaahahahaha!!
I don't like bi-focals, but I have those progressive ones, so you can't really tell. I've thought about the laser thing, but I have gotten to the point that when I take off my glasses, all I can see is the BAGS UNDER MY EYES! LOL! ~ jb///
Have the laser surgery!
I have the progressive lenses like LZ.
I'd be all over the surgery if I could. The eye doctor told me I was not a good candidate because I have old eyes....What!!!
One of my girlfriends had the surgery and said it was the best thing she ever did for herself. Randy had it too and loves it.
They do have those reading glasses you can carry aound in a neat little, hard case. It almost looks like an over sized pen.
i need to go to the eye doc..i see better without my current glasses than with them.
You'll be hot no matter what you do and you know it! :p
I wear those dollar store two dollar glasses. I have about ten pairs now, and can't seem to keep up with any of them. I don't mind them so much, except when they get all bent out of shape, then I can't keep the bastards from sliding down my nose, so if I'm alone, I tape them to my nose and forehead with a piece of tape.
Please don't tell anyone, hah!
