Four eyes

Post by **jtbo** » 20 Mar 2007 01:37 pm

I joined to this exclusive club of four eyes today.

+1.0 in both, was bit hard to see small print and generally see to far

So how many of you actually have glasses too?

Except to my posts be even more brilliant and clear sighted in future

Thx, club entry fee was bit high though, 281€

This paper I got says +1.0 and it says long distance, don't know if that should be then -1.0, but when I do read something I don't need to keep arm straight no more and also when I look far I can see more details, also I can feel how eyes are not so tired, perhaps good investment even I have no money left for food at this month, well must find out something

Coo. In the UK they are only given to the nearest 0.25 dioptre.

i lost my glasses yesterday

looks like i'll be getting contacts now. damn nice they were too

im short sighted and i think im 1.5/2 in both eyes or something like that

Hmm, I have no that other number here on paper, it says:
SF
OD +1.00
OS +1.00

ADD +-0

Then there is CYL and AX, but those are empty boxes.

I think that terminology is not fully international, perhaps OD and OS is Sph or something, I'm confused, but these small letters look sharp with glasses, very nice, perhaps I can read some Shakespeare again now

Oh, I'm pretty sure I won't lost my glasses, these did cost so much that certainly I put big chain to them so I won't loose them by any chance

But he was quite right, try to earn 200 quids while paying all bills etc. and you will find out it is not that easy to get such money, I will be paying almost half year from my glasses.

You really should take better care from such expensive stuff
