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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
