My eyesight has been fine in the past. In my 40s, I started wearing reading glasses on/off and now can't read without them (+1.75). Wait, it might be 2.25+. I bought stronger reading glasses years ago for electronics work and maybe those are the ones I use now.
I failed my DMV sight test recently. I asked friends who have corrective vision. They all said they like contacts. One said she has one far contact and one near. She's 10 -15 years older than me.
My ophthalmologist (I hadn't been in 10 yrs) said my eyes weren't too bad. I could use a +1.00 reader for far in a pinch,
I asked for contacts. I've had them for 6 days. I have questions if anyone has been through this. My other friends are long-term users.
Near vision: I can see well far and medium now. I noticed my eyes seem more dilated and assume I will adjust. Is that true or will my eyes be more sensitive?
I still can't see well near. It comes and goes. The fitting technician told me my brain will adjust, and it will change. I have another week or so before I go back for a final fitting check. Is that ok?
I can't get a straight answer on cost at the office. I love the idea of being able to see far and near without dealing with readers. I'm a little cheap and don't like to think of a high on-going monthly cost. My insurance won't pay. What should I expect?
