i was the only one to sign for contacts, which are the best, i had glasses for 8 years, then realized how much i hated them adn switched to contacts.
I found that if you don't focus, but stare with you eyes out of focus, your reaction time is shorter.
that myopia sounds like a hoax to me.
Tell that to my husband, who has worn glasses his whole life and my son, who has worn glasses since he was in 1st grade (he's 25 now) and my grandson who is 8 and has worn glasses for 2 years. All for myopia or nearsightedness.Quote:

As for Virgil's article: What does sound like a hoax to me is the "What can you do against it?" point. It reminds me of something a friend once told another friend who had around - 10 dioptres (a bit more, I think than I do) that it could all be cured if he just concentrated really hard and exercised a lot without glasses.
Given a certain amount of dioptres, you just can't do that. For my part, I have trouble looking at myself in a mirror without glasses, I need to get so close my nose almost touches the mirror.
unfortunately i can see myself well enough to spot all the big fat blemishes in my face :(Quote:

Oops, sorry, I've only now remembered to answer this...if you do a search you will find lots of info about 'computer glasses' and hyperbole about 'Computer Vision Syndrome'. In many ways I think optometrists have found another 'niche' to sell glasses to :lol: All I know is that my +1.0 non-prescription 'computer glasses', similar to these ones with a very light sepia tint do make a difference if I have to read a lot on the screen.Quote:

STILL WAITING!! FramesDirect.com told me that it would be less than 2 weeks... They've had my order for 3 weeks now, and when I called yesterday to check the status of my order they told me "Maybe next week....."Quote:

Wow, that's a long time to wait. I have never really had that problem, I once needed glasses in less then two weeks, they said it would take two weeks minimum and 9 days later they had them ready. I guess I was really lucky.Quote:
