I have my "expensive glasses", but when I am at the computer or on the iPad, I usually use my $2.00 dollar store glasses!

I am near sighted. I cannot read my laptop screen without my contacts or glasses. I think my uncorrected vision is something obscene like 20/400

I have been wearing glasses since the 8th grade. They said it was from reading a lot.


Been thinking about checking into Lasik surgery. Never did well with contacts and it would be awesome not to have to wear glasses. They are a PITA sometimes..

I have considered Lasik but at $1500 per eye (when I last checked) I figured that money would be better spent on bike mods.

That must have been handy during the bar/singles scene days, Marcus.

Mick, there was a time or 2 bad vision was handy. Though I could still spot the mustache on the Chola at the biker bar during my BDay party back about 12-13 years ago
