I like just a little light.

Do you have blue, gray or green eyes? I have blue eyes. My brother

My mother would often turn on the light over the sink when I was
washing dishes and say, "Isn't that better?" I would reply, "No,
it's just brighter. It's not better." My brother always seems to
want rooms more brightly lit than I want them.

I'm very nearsighted and the more light, the better for me. This is
because like a camera, when the iris is closed to a smaller size,
the depth of field (area in focus) is greater. I have lights all
over the place and I usually carry one or more flashlights with me
wherever I go.


Then you're farsighted.

If you need "reading" glasses, here's a trick. Get your eyes examined
by a
professional and get a script for magnifying contact lenses (a "+"
value).

Wear only one.



Sorry, I'm an expert on myopia going on 60 years. I wear concave not
convex lenses. My lenses move the point of focus back so the light
will focus on my retinas. I'm -9 in one eye and -6.5 in the other.
I am nearsighted. Presbyopia started bothering me around age 50 and
I often take my glasses off in order to see very close up.

Have you looked into LASIK or even implantable lenses? I was around -8
in both eyes and wore glasses since 2nd grade. At 51, I had LASIK done.
I laid on the table and in 5 minutes was told to sit up. There was no
pain or sensation at all. The next morning, I was 20-25 in both eyes and
that improved to 20-15 within a month. It was almost like a miracle.

Later, cataracts came along and it was back under the knife, so to
speak. Again, the morning after the surgery, the implanted lenses had
taken me back to 20-25 and again by the end of a month, I was 20-20 and
could read menus in dim light again.

I got my first pair of glasses when I started first grade and when the
optician slipped my eyeglasses on for the first time, I exclaimed, "So
that's where all the noise is coming from!"
