Thread: Slightly Depressed

That is great news.
Now you can glower over your glasses at people to great effect.
Also, when you don't want to do something, "I can't do that. I haven't go my glasses."

Naa Mick, that never works for me,,, although sometimes I can get away with "my eyes aren't that good anymore, even with glasses"

A few years back my wife suggested I needed hearing aids. We both had our ears tested... guess who is wearing them . NOT ME

I feel your grief, and know it is only a couple of years before I will need the bifocals. But just passed my eye tests with no need for distance lenses yet. One pain I have though is seeing the instrument/steering wheels buttons, instructions etc, but recently came across Hydrotac stick-on Bifocal lenses. Now my sunglasses are bifocal, they just stick on with water so can be transferred to other glasses. I can now see the little arrow next to the fuel pump graphic which tells me which side the tank filler is, and I can see the GPS a lot clearer.

. . . They are'nt cheap, though, you could end up paying a squillion for 'shipping' - almost as much as the glasses...
Be careful where you buy them from.

Mine were only $28.50 AUD delivered including postage, which I thought was reasonable, and to my PO Box which a lot of people won't deliver too!

You should try having trifocals! I have one eye short sighted and one long sighted. Funny thing is I dont need glasses to read. It does assist the glowering at students.

yep the Mrs has trifocals and she reckons they are horrible things and has had a lot of trouble getting used to them she thinks she will be going back to a separate pair of reading glasses.
