[dba-Tech] Actually a wetware issue

He's a retired Canadian so he should be able to go to an eye doctor for free.

Hi Arthur!

I get optometrist exams and glasses at Walmart.  Good exam and cheap frames - $9.00.  My vision is changing too - what were once my computer glasses are now my driving glasses.  I am now 64.

So - you can only know what's going on with a visit to your eye doctor - preferably an ophthalmologist with all the questions you're having.  Per your preferences - you can see your leg doctor later! 😊

Write back when you find out more.  We can all learn from your experience.

Good Luck!
Dan

My vision seems to rapidly deteriorating. For a person who spends a lot of time reading, this is a disaster. I think I'd prefer to lose a leg rather than my eyesight.
My bifocals are several years old; perhaps it is time for another examination. A side question: I have been experimenting (by closing one eye then the other and comparing views) and have learned that my left eye is substantially worse than my right eye. But when I see estimates of vision, I typically see 20-20 or some variation of what appears to be the measure of a single eye. Should I choose to buy new glasses, the pair of lenses would require different prescriptions, methinks. Does anyone know anything about this? I most certainly don't.
Second question. My neighbourhood was formerly, well, not a slum but definitely inhabited by a majority of economically impoverished people, and in the past few years is undergoing Gentrification. As a consequence of that, the stores on Queen Street have all been gentrified as well. Within about 5 blocks of me are an equal number of stores that sell glasses, and basically they sell fashion-glasses. All I'm after is a pair of glasses that work. I'm way too old to consider the fashion aspect; I just want glasses that work, so once again I can read my usual couple of books a week.
