Did wear eyeglass?

[Mimmy_08]

Im working with japanese company and our product is optical lens.

I wonder if you guys wear eyeglass (if yes what is your lens power)
or you still have a 20/20 vision.

well i have 20/20 vision

Sadly, I'm getting old and have to wear glasses when reading or at the computer as I haveen't been 20/20 for a good five years now. Urgh!

I had glasses since I was seven. Taken to contacts for the past couple of years along with my regular specs. Which reminds me, I have an optician appointment today

 

[Mimmy_08]

You almost forgot your appointment

I wear glasses for reading but they're very weak. If I remember correctly, my prescription is +0.25 in my right eye and +0.5 in my left eye.

I've had glasses since I was 12. I'm really considering contacts, it's hard to fence when your glasses get repositioned in your mask and you can't see.

I don't wear glasses, for now. Unfortunately, I'm starting to get old.

Old? OLD? You're still a young wippersnapper. I have just collected my new specs today. On a side note, what is the average price for specs in Japan?

I'm starting to *feel* old at least. Being forced to grow up really fast. Things were so much more simple when I was a kid. Hell, things were much simpler when all I had to worry about was getting good grades. I just can't seem to enjoy myself anymore, because all that goes through my head is "You could be learning more Japanese/looking for jobs/doing your homework right now". It's like I'm permanently procrastinating.

People who I've known for years always have memories of me being happy, cheerful, etc. But those memories are from years ago. Now they think I'm way too serious, etc. In this way, I already feel like I've lost my youthful energy.

Sadly, I've thought about just ending it all. If it's only going to keep getting more stressful than this, I don't want to go on.

Well, I went to the optician yesterday. My eyes are healthy, but my prescription has changed. I still need my current glasses for reading and using the PC, but now I need a separate pair for distance. Apparently, spending too much time at the PC has affected my vision

It's going to be weird having to switch between two pairs all the time. ☝

Why not try varifocals? Never had to use them myself, but my mother uses them rather than have two pairs.

The optician never mentioned those, so maybe they're not right for me, I dunno.

If you feel this way, i really think you should see a counsellor or someone, please don't do anything drastic!! Please get help!

Any time I ask for advice on the things that are making me feel this way, it just drives me more towards ending it.

...for the sake of this thread staying on topic, I think I should start my own thread. But would it go under "Serious Discussions" or this forum?

 

[Azuma_Fujin]

Yes, i think you should start your own thread, serious discussions would be a good place.
