Narses2's Blog - or what I'm slowly making progress on

Sadly, whilst the Specsavers ads tout 'Two Pairs for X dollars', the fine print says only for the same prescription and non-graduated lenses, so... yeah. 

Yup, most of the optitians over here offer deals, but the small print is very carefully worded and my prescription is certainly not included in it.

As I've got older my eyes can see further, so much so that I don't need glasses to drive these days. All very nice.

Which you can't read or you would not be there.

That's a bonus! And one reason I've been holding off... spend north of $500 and have to do it again in a few years as my eyes change with age.

I have found that for close work - computers, reading, modelling - I do better without glasses at all, so maybe there's hope for a cheaper option this time.

I have some bi-focals for close-in work, reading, modelling and computer stuff, but their upper sector is tuned to mid-distance, which I had for work so I could see the test rigs in the cells with the upper sector, and then glance down to see what the computer THOUGHT the rig was doing.

It usually wasn't, or the customer wouldn't have called me in.

Factor in 'The Technician Effect' as well...

Mind you I will neeed new glasses so I can kiss £500 minimum goodbye 

Still cheaper than a Hasegawa kit 😉
