Pain in the eyes.

Posted on by One Vision
One of the things I’ve learnt this last week is I need to start giving my eyes a rest. From a screen, the light, the sun… Just give them a break sometimes.
Went out the other day with my sunglasses on and the eye pain started while I was out. Doesn’t usually happen with sunglasses on. So, this needs investigating. If anyone has any ideas please message me. Anti-glare, anti-sun, anti-blumming light, anti-blue light. 100% protection.
It’s getting ridiculous.
2 days later my eyes still hurt. They are better than they were though.
It stopped me going out and doing the garden as I just don’t want the pain to be worse.
So instead of doing the usual and going out there and doing it regardless of the consequences, I didn’t.
The other thing is…
My reading glasses are so blumming strong that when I went out I was finding it hard to see properly. So although now they are helping me more reading wise. They are buggering up, when they are off.

So I will have to make sure I take them off well before I go out again. To do an experiment.
So much so that browsing in a shop seemed pointless and hardwork.
The main reason being, now we aren’t supposed to pick items up in shops, because of the Covid, it’s sometimes impossible to tell what they are.
I relied on picking some stuff up, to see. Sometimes as soon as you pick it up you know by touching what it is.
As in, somethings don’t seem what they are. However long you stare at them. Like the squashy sewing kit that I thought was a mug. So as soon as you pick it up you sort of go… ‘ah…’

So we will see what happens.

My New glasses

Well… My glasses have come. They are retro, tortoiseshell, big, thick lenses, my eyes look like an owls in them and I now have an air of Eric Morecambe.

They are twice as heavy as the old ones. You can really feel them on my face.

They are much more magnified than the last lot. These are really doing a good job. Anything I’m reading is abit more defined. The phone I’m holding, is now further away. I now realise I maybe should have changed them sooner, but then that would be getting silly as I only got the old ones May last year.
These really are something else.
More magnifying glasses than… erm… Reading glasses.

They have to be big as I need the peripheral vision unobstructed.
But…they are so much better than the others I had. The others obviously weren’t working as I could walk around in them and they are readers. These, you definitely can’t.
Hopefully these will last a while now and stay helping me as they are doing.
As I’ve said before, they can’t fill in the blank areas, move the annoying the black floaters, but they do make the letters I can see sharper. so up until a time they can’t help me anymore I will keep on keeping on.
Bye bye little glasses… Hello windscreens ☺
