I *do* need new glasses...
Jul. 19th, 2007 12:39 pmWell, contact lenses.
I was right -- the reason I was having trouble with close vision was as much my base myopia prescription having changed as my presbyopia getting worse. Or translated into English, I'm very short-sighted, but my prescription has drifted slightly again, and the contact lens for my right eye is now too strong because that eye has improved by a quarter of a dioptre or so. The left eye has actually got very slightly worse again, though not enough to need to change prescription. The combination was messing up my focusing.
I've got a pair of trial lenses in right now, and am feeling much more comfortable. I've also got an accurate prescription for reading glasses for both reading distance and computer monitor distance (yes, they're different), so I'll get a pair for reading some time this week. I may feel more like reading now that I've got the prescription sorted out.
