[NSRCA-discussion] Bifocal Contact Lenses

[Lisa n Larry]

Vince,

 

I was diagnosed with Diabetes in August 2007 and my vision went south I
could see my son on the football field or even his number on his jersey. I
just followed his position and asked my wife when he took the field. It has
steadied up though to the point I did get contacts. My situation is a bit
unique in that my eye sight prior to was about 20/15 in both eyes.

 

I did get prescription contacts that are bi-focal and both eyes are the same
contact. Now I can't see anything up close and the prescription is the
weakest he could find for near. I didn't like any of the other standard
contacts because I couldn't see as far as I liked to see the plane. With the
contacts I do have I see great from about 10 feet and beyond. Very crisp and
detailed even at long distances well past the box. I use 1.25 reading
glasses for seeing within 3 feet. I concede 3 to 10 feet away as things are
blurred with my contacts.

 

Now this contact trial went on for about 2 weeks and I'm now referred to as
a special case.VBG.

Well, we need some discussion.  Probably this has been discussed before and
I forgot details.  My wife wants me to use contact lenses or try laser.  I
remember that I check laser and the doc. told me that I was not good
candidate for laser.  Therefore, I am considering contact lenses (bifocals).
Any experience using this type of contact lenses is welcome.

 

Thanks,

 

Vicente "Vince" Bortone
