my eyes hurt when i read and use the computer. i have reading glasses; i got my eyes examined today, and i need stronger ones. apparently, in addition to my far-sightedness, i am now slightly near-sighted as well.
the choices are these:
a.) keep on with reading glasses like i have now (which i need a stronger prescription for) and use them for reading and computer work, etc.
b.) get bifocals with a weak far away prescription in addition to my up-close prescription and wear glasses all the time
things to consider:
- it is cheaper to get a whole new set of glasses than it is to get just new lenses and use the frames i already have
- bifocals are more expensive, on the whole
- i can still see fine driving and such... when the dr. put on the glasses machine at the store with my far away prescription, things were crisper but it wasn't a monumental difference.
i vote for the reading glasses until i need the far-away scrip - the doc said it's not mandatory, but then told me to go have someone help me look at bifocals.
what say you?
