Vision changes sm
This may be of help to someone and that's why I'm posting - no nasty replies, please! I was terribly worried about my vision as I was having a lot of blurring lately, especially driving at night. I found when I removed my glasses which are required, I could actually see better. Having been told years ago that I had an early cataract in my 40's, I was petrified of going back as I am (because of my profession) wary of surgery of any kind, although it is now a very simple procedure. At any rate, out of frustration, I went and found my vision had actually improved with age and the reason I had problems was because my old Rx was now too strong. Needless to say, I feel much relieved and looking forward to my new specs. He told me I would not have passed my driver's test had I tested with my old specs. Just thought the board needed some positive input for a change. So tired of bad news. So if you are having vision problems, don't be afraid to be checked out! So glad I finally did this and wish I had gone sooner. Sometimes we fail to take care of ourselves, we are so busy taking care of everyone else's medical problems.

That is terrific, and at 46 makes me want to go get checked again as I can see far away with my glasses but find that up close is not possible with them on. So, I taken them on and off, on and off, etc. Thanks.
Lasik before, cloudy vision, really bad
I have an appt to see about the eyes this week. I have had Lasik probably about 5 or 6 years ago for being nearsighted. Was told last year I had immature cataracts and the vision place asked me to return this year. Has anyone had Lasik and had to have it tweaked soon afterwards or had Lasik only to have the cataracts set in? Thank goodness I have a few hours after waking before work because if not, am sure would not be able to see the computer screen.
If he can play baseball with his vision...
he can play football with it. You need to see better for baseball.
Trust me, they don't have to be tough to play football. The first couple times they get hit, you can see how scared they are. Then the actually realize those pads really DO stop it from hurting...and some of our littlest ones turns into the most aggressive ones.
Football is hard work though, and the training is more difficult than the other sports. My husband coaches baseball, basketball and football for kids (12 and under). They do work a lot harder and they're pretty exhausted after football, but if it really is to the point where they are all throwing up and crying, you have bigger worries. You need a new program director!! I know that's not what you're asking about, but that's just not right for kids that young to be worked that hard. How can they possibly learn to love the sport from that?
You're supposed to have an exam every year. Most vision insurance
plans pay for new lenses once a year and new frames every two years. I go every two years for both and exam and new glasses because usually my frames are out of wack with loose screws and the like by the then and I just get it all at once.
However, I don't know the rules for contact lenses as I've never liked them, but I do seem to recall with my sister that there is a yearly exam required especially if you are wearing those disposable ones.
