Our eyes.

Hello,
We all use computers daily and watch T.V. this is bad if we watch the
screen for long we have to be careful of our eyes......
I just wondered that how many people would be wearing spectacles,
if you do, it would be good to know others eye power:D.
I do wear, and my power is LEFT (1.5 sph. 0.5 cyl. axis 5)
RIGHT (1.25 sph. 0.75cyl. axis 175)
And i hope mine doesn't increase...

Well I wear them but I haven't a clue what the numbers you posted mean or what my eye power is just that I wear bifocal ones and I sometimes wonder why I need to as I can see very well without, it does make things a little clearer though with them.

I did have a pair made just for using while on the computer they were single lens and set for a certain distance from the screen but that was a few years ago and now I can actually see fine without them.

I reckon that I am quite fortunate for my age in that I don't need glasses for anything :D apart from something to hold a drink in!

Due to being sat in in front of lots of screens every day here at mission control, I do go for regular checkups on my eyes and I have perfect vision

Well, I'm slightly near sighted, so I have to have to wear glasses to be able to read anything from a distance of around 30 feet or more. It's not bad though according to the eye doctor, and he doubts that I will ever need a stronger pair of glasses. I can't remember what the strength of my current pair are, but they are thin.

Not a chance of that happening.

I do wear glasses, like Shawn I am slightly near sighted, fuzzy sight far away. Been having had to wear them since I was 16. In true geek style, I even have one arm taped ATM, till I go to get them fixed or another pair.

I think I've found out how Aaron broke his specs.

What do you mean by you're the only one with high power, high power what ?

I'm long sighted so it's just things that are very near where I need glasses to clarify things.

2 things FYI:

1) if you get a chance, and have access to a blackbord ( like in school ) take a piece of white chaulk and write your name thick.

back in 1993, I took a computer operator course and we were using machines in the lab that were green letter type on black screen ( as400 kind of stuff ) we worked for an hour /day and one day, the hot teacher had us look at the blackbord not her butt after she wrote an RPG string..... guess/tell me what color the writing on the board was.



2) there is a thread here about coke and someone said to stay clear of aspercream ( the stuff in soda products with the trail name of ZERO ) fanta zero, coke zero, sprite zero, etc

it's true, the stuff really screws up your eyes.




ps just like my teeth, it's been 20yrs since I saw an eye Dr. ( the next few grand to go )
