Just ordered a refill online.

$40 for a box of 6 lenses. Not bad

Guess I could complain that a year ago they were about $33 per box.

Cataract surgery took care of everything by destroying the cornea in my left eye !!!!

Any objective examination of the effect of "them" has to lead you to the behavior and ideology that is now termed, "racist."

Refute if you can.

Pretty much half the people I know have had cataracts removed in the last 5 or 6 years. All are gleeful for a few months and then, not so much.

Most I speak to are positive. Mine was an outlier.
Fortunately, the right eye is 20/20 and amazing to my ophtho.
I have ....some... vision in the left but it's like a kaleidoscope.

Never wore glasses. Vision was perfect. But not anymore. I often use readers for reading now a days. And when it comes to coins my eyes are now failing me which is one of the reasons I have pulled myself from the game. :(

I used to wear them. I needed correction for distance. Then I'd either come into the office to do paperwork and have to remove them, or have to have a conversation with someone but stand like 5 feet away otherwise they'd be blurry.. It became a big pain in the ass so I gave up.

I was going to and I forget the reason why I didn't. It was after discussing it with the eye doctor. Do you have them?

No. Never tried them. After cataract surgery I only need reading glasses.

Coins are nothing but a game. Some use scoreboards, others don't. But everyone keeps score. Like all games there are winners and losers. Which are you? :razz:
