When I started to need visual assistance in the late '80s, I got a pair of half-frame readers off a supermarket shelf. Those were my sole set of spectacles for several years, until about '95, I think. When I started needing assistance for distance vision I got lined bifocals. since looking through half-frame readers for near vision and over them for distance was definitely a lined bifocal.

Re: [MBZ] Chinese Red Death Flu
Had a neighbor who is a D.O. Had a local practice that a number of neighbor people went to in a fairly upscale area. A good friend and neighbor’s wife went and got her eyes checked and bought glasses, to the tune of like $800. Husband of neighbor, also a good friend, swore out revenge when he found out what his wife had spent on a single pair of glasses. He was livid. The D.O. and her scumbag husband (another story for another day) used to have all sorts of parties at their house. Holiday parties, Monte Carlo nights, etc., etc. with loads of food and almost always a big bowl of chilled shrimp. Husband of neighbor attended every party they had, would pull a chair up in front of the food table where the bowl of shrimp was, and proceed to consume nearly all of the shrimp. He would then stand up, give his regards to the host and hostess and others, and leave. I kid you not, he did this for several years. They never understood what the behavior was about, but everyone else knew. He swore he would get his $800 back in shrimp. The worthless couple has fled the neighborhood after they defaulted on their mortgage and gutted the house just prior to the bank taking it over, and to this day we still bug my neighbor buddy about plowing through the shrimp whenever there’s a party. As a side note, I went to this D.O. once. She did a good job with my Rx, but as soon as I came out she had this high pressure gal who was ready to put me into $500 designer frames before I got out the door. That’s the scam - they don’t make much of anything on the exam, they make it all on the stupid expensive markup on frames and add-ons. “But I don’t want the TruCoat!!!” -D > On Jun 3, 2020, at 8:24 PM, Craig via Mercedes wrote: > > On Wed, 3 Jun 2020 15:52:59 -0500 Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > >> So how does that work if the prescription is bad?

Re: [MBZ] Chinese Red Death Flu
Pretty much, although I’m not sure how “bad” is qualified. I can tell you that most if not all of the online glasses places will replaced and fix any goofs in the prescription for free. I had one with 39DollarGlasses a couple years ago where I used their tool to determine my PID and it was off. I got it checked at Costco and got the correct value and they sent me new lenses for my frame with instruction on how to swap them out. It was pretty easy to do. I will second Mitch’s point about having the glasses done by someone local. When I got a pair of glasses from Costco a year ago the fitting made all the difference. Out of the box they didn’t fit well, and the optician did their bending/tweaking and afterwards they fit great. Costco can have some good deals on glasses, and if you don’t go berserk on “designer frames” you can find some good deals. -D > On Jun 3, 2020, at 4:52 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > So how does that work if the prescription is bad?

Re: [MBZ] Chinese Red Death Flu
I had some made at Costco some years ago and I just could not wear them even after trying to get acclimated. Took them back and they took them back, no questions, refunded my money. I got some others from the optician/optometrist shop and they were much better.

OK Don via Mercedes writes: > Are the progressive lenses truly usable over the entire surface of the > lens?

They worked well as long as I was looking through the center of the lens, in other words I was directly facing what I was looking at. If I looked left or right through the lens, things got progressively more distorted the farther off-center I was. Contributing to this may also have been that my prescription is fairly strong, so I had high-index polycarbonate lenses to reduce thickness.

Re: [MBZ] Chinese Red Death Flu
Yes, that's called nearsightedness, and it sounds like you've developed some astigmatism as well. I can't read the big E, and can read without my glasses. The correction for distant vision makes everything smaller, hence even without the astigmatism correction, I see the smallest things better without the glasses.

Re: [MBZ] Chinese Red Death Flu
My issue for the last nearly 20 years is I can see fine up close but far off is a blur like trying to read road signs or watch TV. Here lately I have noticed if I am reading my phone or some sort of very small print I can see fine at mid arms length but if it’s really small print that I have to bring close to my face to see it I can’t read it very well because it’s now blurry.

Re: [MBZ] Chinese Red Death Flu
I tried "lineless" bifocals when it became that time, and could not get used to them. I had little issue with the traditional bifocals, and now trifocals. I also had trouble working on things up close, and the optometrist made a set of what he called "computer glasses" that are bifocals but with the entire upper area the medium distance lens and the entire lower half is the close-up lens. This gives a much larger and higher area where you can see close things. I use them mainly for welding and mechanicing now.

Yep. Be very careful too of walking, climbing stairs, uneven terrain as I find I have little peripheral vision to the lower quadrant. I’m always tripping over stuff as I’m not registering depth too well.

Re: [MBZ] Chinese Red Death Flu
When I started wearing glasses I went with progressives. They took a little getting used to, but once you get the hang of it they’re great, I think. I need them for close up stuff, like computer and reading. Where I have issues with them is when I’m working on cars - it can be tough to get your head in the right position to use the close up part, that is, be able to tilt your head back and see stuff really close up clearly, if that makes sense. -D > On Jun 3, 2020, at 8:41 AM, Max Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > > I ordered two pairs of glasses from Zenni, a single vision pair and a > progressive lens pair.

Re: [MBZ] Chinese Red Death Flu
I ordered two pairs of glasses from Zenni, a single vision pair and a progressive lens pair. Took two weeks, but they had titanium frames I like and the prices were very nice. It will take some time to get used to the progressive lens glasses. They are strange, but today is day three and I'm starting to get used to them.

Re: [MBZ] Chinese Red Death Flu
I went to the gym today. They reopened yesterday. They had moved some of the machines farther apart, and had a limit of 4 people in the sauna. Lots of disinfectant spray and paper towels for wiping things down. Pretty good number of people there. Nobody was wearing masks. The city has decided that they are not opening the swimming pools this summer. Meanwhile news out of Italy is that the virus has lost potency and "from the clinical point of view, the virus no longer exists." https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/02/claim-coronavirus-no-longer-exists-provokes-controversy.html Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes writes: > Today I decided to call the eye doctor to see when I could get in.

Re: [MBZ] Chinese Red Death Flu
Speaking of eggplant, I verplaneted again this year and have over 100 extra tomato (mostly), pepper and eggplant seedlings. These include heirloom varieties and several kinds of hot peppers. I could box and ship them for a nominal fee, plus postage, if anyone is interested. All are in small pots or plastic coffee cups. Reply privately if interested.

Re: [MBZ] Chinese Red Death Flu
No riots out here in the country wither, unless yo count my wife going on a rampage against the aphids on her eggplants. I had a dentist appointment a week or so back, long overdue to install the new crown - the temp crown was placed on Mar. 5th - it was longest one in a mouth that he could remember. I was meet with fully masked, gloved, gowned staff who took my BP and temp, then had to fill out a recent medical history form. I was allowed to sit in the waiting room where the chairs were about 8 feet apart, but I was the only one there. Wore my mask into the operatory where i had to swish a peroxide based liquid in my mouth for three minutes. The dentist came in, it took all of 5 minutes to pop the temp crown out and glue the new one in - it fit perfectly, no "adjustment" grinding or anything. They scanned the stub that the crown was to go onto and surrounding teeth, sent the scan to the lab, who 3D printed a porcelain crown, and it worked! Amazing.

Re: [MBZ] Chinese Red Death Flu
Angie and I cut my hair on Saturday. I was getting pretty tired of being shaggy. I got it cut in March just before they closed. It was easier than I'd expected, at least based on the last time I cut my own hair when I was a little kid. I need to get into the eye doctor too, I've got a pair of readers from Amazon but probably need "real" glasses. -Curt On Tuesday, June 2, 2020, 5:29:15 PM EDT, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: Today I decided to call the eye doctor to see when I could get in.
