Got awesome news today .. went to the cataract eye doc to get measured for some new lenses! First eye is scheduled for October 7th. I knew I had cataracts but apparently I didn't realize just how bad they were .. I should have figured it out since I was needing stronger and stronger glasses about every 8 months until I finally said enough last year and learned to tolerate blurry vision past 10 feet .. this last pair of distance glasses are almost a half an inch thick!

So when it came time to decide if I wanted to be near sighted as I am now or far sighted I chose near sighted since I do a lot of close work and will just need glasses for distance. As it is now I have distance glasses, computer glasses, TV glasses and reading glasses. Tried to go the bi-focal route but they made me horribly disoriented and sea sick!
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
