My mom has one that hangs around her neck when she is doing fine hand work. <br /><br />Monica - ROFLMAO!

The good thin...I used to be extremely near-sighted. The good thing about it was, despite having glasses with extreme correction, I could take off my glasses and focus on very tiny things close up! Very handy with any type of crafting. Well, I had the Lasik when doctors finally agreed the technology could handle my prescription, and for the most part, I LOVE it... but, right after surgery, I instantly lost my natural super-close-up vision!! True, that was a 'symptom' of near sightedness, and I traded it for being able to see very well at a distance (20/20) and have a great 'normal' focus point, but years later, I still try to bring things close to my eyes to try and focus in on the tiny details. Unfortunately, about 4 inches from my eyes, instead of getting super clear like before, it just gets fuzzier. :( Now, I understand the need for owning a good magnifying glass, or bifocals, or reading glasses for tiny things!! The only other issues I've had with lasik is, after 40, I get glare/blur when driving at night, so my doctor gave me glasses with the tiniest bit of correction that I only wear when driving at night. I also get dry eyes more often than I ever did. <br /><br />I've thought about getting one of those magnifying glasses on a flexible stand, maybe one with a light, to set up on my work stand. (http://www.nordicneedle.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=6864&Category_Code=E00-00-00&Store_Code=NN) I don't need to focus closely often enough to want wear reading glasses, but it might be nice to have something handy when I want to thread a needle or untangle a knot.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896182951003656236.post-52294203041445669242011-04-13T11:43:16.200+04:002011-04-13T11:43:16.200+04:00I'm also wondering if I should get Lasik or go...I'm also wondering if I should get Lasik or go with bifocals. One of my friends just took a quick trip over to Serbia because it's less expensive there (well, and she's Serbian). I should check the price of train tickets because your experience is telling me that I don't want the glasses.Ovidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509899287185278251noreply@blogger.com
