How about contact lenses (for distant vision) plus reading glasses that
you can perch on your nose to read the charts.

I wore contacts for 10 years, and grew to really hate the routine, as well
as what hay fever, dust, and air conditioning did to my eyes while wearing
them.

How long ago was that? Today's lenses are much more oxygen-permeable. For
many people, the "routine" now consists of wearing the lenses for a week,
taking them out, throwing them away, and putting in a new pair.

Over 10 years ago. Erg...gad. More like 20! Dang, how does this keep
happening to me? What seems like last week is now in the 1980s!

Anyway, I've spoken with folks about the new contacts, and how wonderful it
is to just throw them away when they get uncomfortable. It all sounds much
better than when I wore them.

But I still don't want to mess with them.

I have been wearing soft contacts for 20 years now and it is generally 2
minutes in the morning and 3 minutes in the evening. I really have no
problems. Not enough to think about Lasik, PRK, and all the others.
However, I like the idea of progressive reading glasses. I buy mine at
Sam's Club. The 3 for $15.00. Not bad. But they are great for my
everyday work and reading charts. The panel is a little farther away and
night viewing is more difficult. Actually, I got a pair of 'lighter'
reading glasses for computer work, because the screen is further away
when my posture is not appropriately set in my chair. But, I have to
keep switching glasses/

Jay, you wan't to keep that happening to you! As long as it keeps
happening, you 're alive. When it stops happening, you got a problem.
