Forgive me if this topic has been covered before -- I'm sure it has! I just turned 60 and I'm frustrated. Even though I'm pretty myopic I used to be correctable to better than 20/20. Now I can't see close, far, or in between with my progressives. I can't read signs like my wife can. I used to love fly fishing, but now I can't see the flies on the water. My correction is a pretty strong -8.0, but otherwise my eyes seem to be normal. Nobody has diagnosed any of the usual age- related afflictions like cataracts or macular degeneration. Does one simply reach an age where they are no longer correctable? Is there a creative solution like two pairs of progressives, one for close to mid- range and the other for mid-range to infinity?
I can't seem to get straight answers from any vision professionals I've gone to. All they want to do pat me on the head, fit me with another pair of glasses with about the same prescription as the last pair, charge me $500-1000 and send me on my way. Would appreciate any advice from anybody with similar experiences. Thanks! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
