First day wearing glasses

My first day wearing glasses. My wife made me go to the I doctor and that led to the glasses. I had a piece of steel in my left eye ( my only good eye) a few years back. It took 7 tries to get it out so the I doc says I have scaring. It bothers me to drive in traffic at night. The glasses don’t help at distance but sure help up close. Bifocals. I hope to get used to them. They a pita so far. She first hung that ring on my finger and now this. I’m nervous about what tase she’ll have me toting around?

Thad, being married like being a kid again... Your "MOM" is constantly telling you what to do, how to act, and how to dress.......... get use to it !!

2 words to remember now, YES DEAR!!!! lol

I am waiting for my wife to get through chemo so I can have my cataracts removed then I will only wear glasses for the bifocals, been wearing them over 50 years so there is no since changing now. Wait till you clean them and think all that dirt would have went in my eyes if the glasses hadn't caught it.

Being a construction electrician I did a lot of work looking up working over my head. So I found that using what was called Double D lens, when I went to bifocals. They really help.

After wearing contacts for 35 years, I had to switch back to glasses. Also found out I have a cataract in one eye. Will need surgery within next 3-5 years. Ended up getting prescription safety glasses. Transition lenses with progressive trifocals. Took a couple weeks to get used to them. Literally had to learn how to walk again! Driving has taken a little getting used to also, not having my peripheral vision like with contacts. Sure is nice to be able to see again though. Makes seeing when welding so much easier.

Hey Thad,,,don't let "old Age" get you down and thank Ms Jenn for caring enough bout you to want you to be able to see HER better,,,yea,,that's it,,,!!!. Seriously, I'm bettin you are liking all her attention to you,,,and that is Good,,!!
I been wearin glasses since the 3rd grade and never had a pair that I felt helped me. I've had progressive lenses and always have to take glasses off to see really small stuff up close. Same for trying to work under a dash,,,,,

I've had glasses since freshman year in high school. Also the progressive lenses. In all reality I don't mind as they have protected my eyes many times. Just thankful to be able to see.

I've worn glasses all my life, 1st or 2nd grade.  First pair hurt my ears, my Dad said, "Put them on and leave them on".  I did wear contacts and then bifocal contacts for a few years.  Them bifocals were nice, I could put reading glasses on if I needed more.  If you do go that route, don't get the kind where they put a close one in one eye and a distant one in the other.  It made me sick and dizzy.  Like Lou said, progressives work great, and get them with the auto dark.  Really makes life easy when you don't need to carry sunglasses or another pair around with you!  Treat them like a fine tractor and they'll serve you until you need a new pair, approximately a year from now.

Happily married to my childhood Sweet Heart. Never in my life have I been so happy. She’s a very good woman and I’m quite proud of her. I don’t know if that’s what your getting at???

Wearin' them glasses might even keep ya' from gettin' more steel in yer' eye!

😂😂😂 and after 7 months I’ve learned I have a lot more to learn. Lol I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
I figured you were makin me tell all and get imbarrased in front of all the misfits.

Misfits!? who you callin' misfits? LOL

LMAO....yep....i'm with JOhnKC and Tom, wear a sweat band, them gits some of them glasses from wally world or like places. I had to have bi-fokels for my work looking at puter screens all night. and after putting up with headaches from that and the florencent lighting, I gots the cheap reading glasses of the right strength and put a cap on to cut down the glare. problems solved, and it's so much cheaper going and buying them cheapies after you sit on them or step on them than buying them spensive ones for replacements. I can read a license plate across the street, but can't see what i'm reading in front of me. hard to see the casino screens too without them cheapies! I hang them on the front collar of my shirt when not in use, keeps them handy when I need them. oh....and i'm PROUD to admit....i'm a MISFIT!
