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 !!!!

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:
