I wear a contact in my right eye because I'm slightly nearsighted in it. But this is "getting old" problems, the bifocal issue.wendy wrote:Have you thought of gettting contacts? I can hardly see anything from a distance without mine, and I wear them caving with no problems.
Oh, I meant to respond that I got unlucky. I'm near sighted in the wrong eye. I wear a contact in my right eye. Had it been my left, then it would have been the way some folks deal with the instead-of-bifocals technique. Drats.KnottyKnanna wrote:Then, I had wished I could see details in a cave. Went to eye Dr. and tried several pair of contacts. I found that getting 1 in your non-dominant eye works the best.

If you correct your vision for one distance, it screws you up at a difference distance. Sucks getting old. BTW, I hate to tell you this, but it's gonna happen to you, too!

Here's the problem (besides the obvious) with getting old.
I haven't been doing much caving lately, but will be soon. How do I keep book? My eyes have really been "going through the change." In fact it's driving me nuts right now trying to deal with it at work. Do I bring a pair of reading glasses, keep them with my book, take them out and keep them around my neck on a cord, and peer through them while I sketch, then peer over them to see the passage?
I don't remember puberty being this tough.

ya but now they have bifocal contact lenses. That might be an option for ya.

This is the first I have heard of those, are you using them or do you know of anyone who is? I am curious as to how difficult they are to get used to and if they require odd contortions like normal bifocals to see at varying distances.
