[RBW] Re: Way OT: Is there an Eye Doctor in the House?
The simple answer, Bobby, is yes. The world has been blurry for 4 years, as I experienced the world better without glasses because of a huge number of factors. These lenses appear to make it possible to both see clearly and not interfere with brain function. It's a new type of lens, and allows for natural eye movement, peripheral vision, and minimal light refraction. An amazing blessing so far. I rode for four hours this morning and it was wonderful seeing the world clearly, including the pits and ruts and washboard to avoid!

I hear you, George! Probably not, but then I shouldn't be doing anything I do with vertigo either. Grin. I have several advantages over your car ride on Pikes Peak. My vertigo is constant, as in my mind never has an idea where I am in space, so there aren't any surprises from it, the only issue is how well can I cut through it? That's where proprioception comes in. The only way I can run or ride a bike is by going barefoot or in minimalist shoes. The feedback from my feet tells by body where I am in space though by brain hasn't a clue. We all have this capacity, but most of us go around with blinders on our feet. Grin. God's engineering really is amazing! Hopefully my next Pikes Peak attempt will reach above tree line. I wimped out at Glen Cove my first go.

Re: [RBW] Re: Way OT: Is there an Eye Doctor in the House?
Si. I mean See. What sort of Hoya lenses are these? I wear multifocal lenses and have realized that the brand and make makes a huge difference. My latest two pairs have been digital (can't recall the manufacturer) and they are significantly better than what I had to endure for a couple of years after the original brand I started using was discontinued by the manufacturer. Granted, the biggest issue is that you have to pretty much take what your optometrist decides to use, as there is no way to try all the options. So happy you can see better now!
