You may need several different pairs of glasses depending on what you need to do. A violist had to fight with her insurance people in order to get a second pair of bifocals set for music-reading distance rather than book-reading distance. Ultimately she won, but the insurance-jerk actually told her that she should take up a different hobby.  SignatureCheers, Bev --------------------------------------------------- I have no idea what you're talking about, so here's a bunny with a pancake on his head: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/forumfun/misc15.jpg Wow, your eyeglasses are so useless, don't you think? Don't you just feel like smashing them, and never wear them again? How can you be so foolish to keep wearing them, when you KNOW that they are stupid mechanics and are not correcting your vision? The fact that a person should have to wear multiple pairs of glasses depending on the circumstance is a very CLEAR-CUT demonstration of their stupidity and uselessness. You should be inteligent and follow correct intuition, which it could be tells you to discard them. When you have discarded them then begin the rest methods as depicted in the Perfect Sight books, learning to see with your own eyes which are far more intricate and ingeniously designed than the idiot-goggles you have been given by OD. Learn to see without effort and without trying to see; and you will soon find that your ability to sew, to read fine print, to thread a needle, and to do all such things becomes easy peasy lemon squeezy, like there is nothing in the world easier than that. >do any of these things and wind up with a headache .i went back to the >opt.and they said that the glasses were correct.has anyone else had Why are you so blind as to still rely on those tricky people, who can do nothing for your sight? How can you continue to even think of wearing the evil spectacles, when they are making you suffer and to have headaches. You should cure yourself of imperfect sight once for all, and never have to return to the corrupt optometry business which is one of deception and continuous failure. www.central-fixation.com Read the books from Emily and the Doctor, and wake up from suffering. If it affects your job, you should very quickly get to another doctor for a recheck. Good luck. Don W. A recheck! You are telling this man to very quickly go for recheck! You are telling him: go and quickly destroy your vision, don't waste time, just go on and waste your time a bit more. I wonder what will happen! At best the next doctor he goes to will be more of an idiot still, unable to fit him with correction that he is satisfied by. You would have done better to tell the man of rest methods, which cure the imperfect sight and where a person does not have to rely on the optometry doctors to help their condition, but instead can help themselves to perfect sight.

No as a matter of fact I am not! Who is? I thought I am the only one using my email address.

I thought I am the only one using my email address. Dunno. Sounds like Rishi, the same bitterness and distorted reality we always hear from him. Just thought you should know. -MT Sorry. Rishi Giovanni Gatti (Zetsu), Lena102938, and Otis Brown are trolls who haunt s.m.v. Rishi has published, and is trying to sell worthless books. Otis is pathologically dishonest and actually hurts people. Following his advice can induce double vision in those not working closely with an eye doctor. Lena102938 uses anti-eye doctor rhetoric as a substitute for ANY actual information. It seems she now has to wear glasses and has developed a pathological (and ILLOGICAL) resentment toward the industry that "foisted these glasses upon her." You'd do well to ignore them and wait for responses from the caring, compassionate eye doctors who DO also participate in this site. Dear Bifocals and Sewing, Subject: The easy way. Your "plus" may be too strong, or you might have more astigmatism "prescription" than is actually necessary -- and that could be giving you a headache. You might go to the local store, and try some "readers" (slightly weaker) just to see if they will work for you. That is a lot lower cost solution than going back to the OD -- only to be told, "...there OK", or "... you'll get used to it". You have nothing to lose by checking this out yourself. Just my second-opinion.

Mike you said: >As Judy said, the bifocal power must be matched to your working distance But then that means you have to keep working at ONE distance ALL the time? That is just a scary thought for me. It's like, turning into a robot. Don't you people ever move your head back and forth when you read, or like sometimes lie down and read or what? I always do that, I mean sometimes I lie down in a recumbant position and read, like with my hands on my jaw and looking down at a book; and sometimes I work at a desk. So how is it possible for you to 'show' the OD how you hold your work. It's like saying: 'show me how far you listen to music from?' A stupid question really, because you always change. How can you give someone STATIC bifocals when the distance is DYNAMIC and ever changing! This is stupid and VERY unnatural, forcing a person to work at a specified distance WITHOUT moving! It's no wonder you guys are always so miserable and grumpy and grouchy, it's because you are forced to work like robots with your eyes chained to a never changing state. > But then that means you have to keep working at ONE distance ALL the > time? > That is just a scary thought for me.

Being unable to read is much better. > It's no wonder you guys are always so miserable and grumpy and > grouchy, it's because you are forced to work like robots with your > eyes chained to a never changing state. Yes, Totally stupid and pointless. Nothing you can do about it. Everybody's glasses are wrong and those idiot doctors have no clue what they're talking about. -MT Hi Mike, Thank you for the AMAZING sarcasm, so cool of you, WOW. You're so hard and tough, I'm really scared from your hard comments. But really though what I am saying is this: How can you give ask a person 'at which distance do you work' (well how do you measure that anyway? do you go home and get a ruler and stick it under your nose and then come back to the OD and say: well hello again, I've found that I ALWAYS work at 'x' inches), and how can you then prescribe a STATIC Rx when the distance from work to eye is EVER CHANGING? Tell me, HOW do you do that? I just shiver at the thought of what kind of suffering these idiotic ideas are causing to generation upon generation of old people. > How can you give ask a person 'at which distance do you work' (well > how do you measure that anyway? do you go home and get a ruler and > stick it under your nose and then come back to the OD and say: well > hello again, I've found that I ALWAYS work at 'x' inches), and how can > you then prescribe a STATIC Rx when the distance from work to eye is > EVER CHANGING? The sarcasm is because you won't accept any answer except Rishi's. Rishi has no education or experience and you write the same things he writes. That's obvious to everybody here. If you're really 15 years old, you must get it through your thick little head - everybody's vision is not like yours. Without correction these people CAN NOT SEE. Normal humans with PERFECT VISION in their 20s have LOUSY VISION up close at 55. Now, in your town, how many "central fixation" practitioners are listed in the Yellow Pages? Who can the 50-year-olds and the myopes call to get an appointment and learn the rest methods? Why aren't there PERFECT BLACK LONG SWING PARLORS on every corner? If you're really 15, you must understand that you have never EXPERIENCED presbyopia. If you're really Rishi, then it's really stupid me sitting here trying to fix something broken. > Tell me, HOW do you do that?

Go on the various natural vision > improvement forums and you'll see what I'm talking about. No thank you. Lots of people get lousy service from their eye care provider. Lots of people expect more than physics can deliver. They gravitate to certain web sites. Surprise! If they want my opinion on how to fix their problem, they'll ask me. I'm not hard to find. -MT Sorry. Rishi Giovanni Gatti (Zetsu), Lena102938, and Otis Brown are trolls who haunt s.m.v. Rishi has published, and is trying to sell worthless books.

Do you mean the optician said the glasses were made correctly to the doctor's prescription? If so, then the prescription has to be modified. Most doctors (the reputable ones) will recheck at no charge when there's a problem. Tell them you can't read with the bifocals and they should do something about it without charging you more. As Judy said, the bifocal power must be matched to your working distance. Be sure and show the doctor how you hold your work. -MT > i just recently got bifocals and i cannot do alot of things that i > could do with single vision lenses,i cannot sew on a button. cross > stitch or even thread a needle with them on i have to take them off to By chance, did you used to be nearsighted only? I'd gotten so used to looking under my -1s for close work over the years that I had to retrain myself to look through the +0.75 reading glasses for close work. I finally realized this when I had to take a messy tangle out of the serger, and the only position that worked to see the bit I needed to was through the reading glasses. One of those oh, duh, moments. I don't have bifocals, however -- I opted for driving glasses and reading glasses. Still seems strange to need glasses for detail work up close. <g> On Sep 21, 11:35 pm, bifocalsandsewing <amgeil11091...@comcast.net> wrote: > i just recently got bifocals and i cannot do alot of things that i > could do with single vision lenses,i cannot sew on a button. cross [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > and also working im a cashier and have alot of trouble seeing the > chart to lookup the produce codes and the register keys.thank you If you can read with glasses off, I assume you are nearsighted. With bifocals, you have to hold your head just so and the near part is likely set for about 16 to 18 inches. With sewing, especially if you are doing cross stitich with 24 or higher count fabric, you are likely holding things at 10 to 12 inches; if myopic your eye may be naturally focused that close. At work, how far are the code charts and keys? Measure these distances and return to your doctor with cross stitch fabric in hand and the written distances. You may need single vision readers for sewing and trifocals for work. Dr Judy PS: Ignore Zetsu, he is a 15 year old high school student who believes some things he has read on quack web sites. |
