Good news: talked to my eye doc today and convinced her to NOT correct the -.5D in the left eye, as well as to remove the prism in the left lens of my soon-to-be-new glasses. Thank heavens. I tried...

Hi Clark, Yes, "weaker, reduced Rx" glasses is precisely what I asked the doc about. Told her if I decided to go with a pair of reading glasses, that I'd want them to be "minus lenses", not magnifie...

Thank you Nancy....! I was hoping you'd pop in on this thread. I may just end up having to "thank" my little monster of a cat for eating my glasses four weeks ago. He's the one who essentially "re...

I've read some posts that talk about how many myopes stare and space off / zone out. I'm guilty of this. What's interesting to me is that at the end of the work day, when I take my glasses off for...
