Ugh, suddenly my eyes (or my brain) have decided they don't like my varifocals anymore, so I'm back to using my reading glasses and regular glasses but that's so annoying.

Ugh, suddenly my eyes (or my brain) have decided they don't like my varifocals anymore, so I'm back to using my reading glasses and regular glasses but that's so annoying. And I can't really see my computer screen with them. So I'm off to the optometrist today and will have to order new glasses. May opt for bifocals with separate glasses for my computer screen as I need to be able to see properly when on a hike (which I find varifocals not great for) but also be able to read my map without changing glasses. Getting old sucks!

Haha, my "progressive lenses" are 3 separate sets of glasses: distance, computer, and reading. Especially in my bedroom, I use all 3, the distance ones for watching #kdrama. Those and the computer glasses usually stay there, unless I walk off with one set on my head. I tried progressive lenses, and they meant that nothing was clearly visible to me. The readers are the ones that are critical. I lost a set on my way home by bus last night, and that caused a state of panic until I found a drugstore pair in my bag. Fortunately, there are online suppliers here that provide all of my glasses at a very reasonable price, including transition lenses for driving.
I was lucky enough not to need vision correction for most of my life, but that's caught up with me. I also need ointment at night and drops in the morning for one of my vision issues.
For hiking, I generally keep readers in a breast pocket, since I often need to check information on my phone.
