 Eyesight these days? Are you far-sighted , near-sighted? Do you wear glasses or contact lenses? I have noticed that driving at night seems to be getting to be more of a challenge. I have trouble reading some of the signs on the beltway. The good news is with the bigger TV we just got I don't have to wear my glasses to watch it. It's nice to be able to see the words up on the screen! So, How's your vision doing?

mine is not so good

I wear contact lenses and this passed time that I went, I had to have two different ones  *sigh*

Even though we have big screen tv's, I have to wear mine in order to read what show is on- to pick out what I want to watch off the DVR

I didn't have to get contact though until I was in my twenties

My eyesight has been bad since my teens.  I am very nearsighted with nerve/muscle damage in my left eye which causes it to "float and I need prisming in lenses for that eye to keep from seeing two seperate view of everything.  I need another prescription because the ones I got last year just aren't doing their job any longer.

I am long overdue for an eye exam. I need to make one soon.

I am near-sighted, but my vision isn't that bad. I can still see stuff, but it loses detail once it is about 10 feet in front of me. I have to wear glasses to drive though, because I can't see what signs say without them.

 My started getting about when I was around 30. My husband's is pretty bad while he's driving at night too. I got a question for ya would you happen to know if Asthma meds make your vision worse? One of my neighbor's told me it can. I was just wondering if you ever heard about that. I figured you may know. Sorry your isn't so great either.....

 Signs far away are getting harder to make out but fine print is too! Oye! Getting old stinks!
