Sorry to hear that, I didn’t know what parameters the glasses might fit. My problem is with distance, I can’t see clearly beyond a foot. Close-up, I can see above average (itty bitty writing).

And all my distances are blurred, up close is the worst, try putting on your eye brows and not being able to see what you are doing with a magnifying mirror; middle where I use it the most for computer etc, is bad, driving even at 10 feet those over head big road signs are not clear and crisp, forget the info signs unless I’m 5 ft away. And the distance is considered my best vision by the Othomologist.

I’ve done fine up until this last year, then all went to pot.

Your vision should be stable after cataract surgery, mine isn’t. The fact it is the oldest one, and always has been an issue is no surprise. I’ve been without glasses for almost a year now, so it limits what I can and can’t do. I can’t even fill out doctor forms as I can’t read those ant tracks. If I took a vision test for DL I’d flunk it with no glasses to correct the vision. I rely on the right eye as a result as it is 20/30 vs the 20/60 of the left.

Watch blurry TV and get Kindle books I can blow up to the max and read the still blurry words even in their biggest font. Driving is limited to the 2 mile trip to the grocery store, and that is a nightmare to shop, I take the x 16 mag glass along to try and read those ant tracks they call print.

Hubby needs distance after his cataract surgery and takes off his glasses to do up close work.
