Eyesight, realising you need glasses etc…. – Page 2 – Chat Forum

I have always had perfect vision, being able to pick out things a great distance - better than most folk I know. However, whilst my vision still seems fine in most situations, I noticed yesterday that I was struggling to read things close up and when I tried Mrs STR's specs yesterday, close up text became clearer and I could see things wearing them, which would have previously been blurred had I tried them on. It's quite obvious I need to go for an eye test (not had one in 30 odd years), so no stating the obvious please. What are your experiences of first realising you were long sighted and could this be caused by prolonged computer screen viewing and/or wearing safety specs 10hrs a day 5 days a week at work? Also, been getting a knotted feeling in my brow, which I've definitely related to occuring when I'm stressed/annoyed, however of late it's seemed apparent when I've been neither.

I was fine up until about 2 years ago. It then got remarkably worse, quite quickly. About 5 years ago I started wearing glasses for PC work, all fine for driving, then about 2 years ago I had to change those glasses for something stronger.

Seems the eyesight is fine, bit of a lazy left eye (from youth) but what's happening with me is the amount of light hitting the back of the eye. Optom says it's normal for a bloke of my age...

Not that bothered, I can see for everything else, riding/driving yadda yadda, but PC stuff (where most of my days are spent) I wear glasses.

HeyHo,
