Only when his 20/15 vision is improved with his shooting glasses and

uh... I have 20-10 vision... And my eye doc can't believe it seeing I'm 58 yr's old.








"Glasses? We don't need no stinkin' glasses!"
















I was amazed that my eyesight hasn't gone south due to age. I'll be 65




this year. When I had the bout with shingles last year my left eye was




affected but my vision was 20/15 in it and 20/20 in my right eye. 20/15




is actually better vision than 20/20. Tim's 20/10 is even better still.








I haven't had them checked since I recovered from the shingles thing, so




my left eye may have changed.








Even though the eye tests are good, I still occasionally need reading




glasses for up close stuff, but it's more dependent on how tired I am.




My right eye (shooting eye) is my good eye with 20/10 my left eye isn't


so great. it's 20/20








Terrible. Keep it closed. :-)




My wife gets ****ed at me because her eyes are like 20/100 or something.


Can't pass the driver's license exam without her glasses.




My eyes when I was younger than 40 were 20/5 and 20/10. I hunk years of

working with VT-52 and other crappy terminals ruined the eyes. After my

cataract surgery I am 20/25 in the fixed eye. Still need readers for books

and computers.


Bill, my wife has suffered the same fate. Besides poor eyesight running in her family, Years of staring at a computer screen at work took a lot of it's toll.

The most damage was probably caused by the 'green' or 'orange' screens back in the day.

I remember working with one of her early computers, and it wasn't 5 minutes before my eyes were hurting. I kept darkening the screen until it was almost out, but to no avail. Glad those days are over.
