I do know what you mean though ,, I dont need glasses anymore myself except for reading glasses. seems like I am always chasing a pair of those though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know what you mean though ,, I dont need glasses anymore myself except for reading glasses. seems like I am always chasing a pair of those though lol I started needing reading glasses at about 50. It's gotten really bad in just the last few months. I have pairs of them stashed in every room in the house. I hate chasing them around. Although one of the odd side-effects of my near-sightedness is that I don't need reading glasses unless I have my contacts in. If I'm wearing regular glasses my up-close vision is fine by just looking over/under them. But supposedly I'd lose that with lasik and my up-close vision would be the same as it is now with the contacts. All of which is fine except that I'm getting very close to the point where I'll need reading glasses at gigs to see the keyboards. Drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might try just wearing one contact and going mono vision. I started needing bi focals in my early 40s. Lots of things to see in the cockpit of a king air combined with needing to see out the windscreen , and then there were the nav charts and performance charts of the plane. Lots of paper work as well. I would just get a pair of progressives in a stylish frame for giggin. somthing with a gradiant tint and cool frames.
