My vision and headaches

[Laura's Babies]

The 3 years before my cataract surgery, a new Rx for glasses only lasted me for about 3 months before they no longer worked for me. The doctors were more than glad to do another exam and sell me another pair of glasses.

I tell you, there is nothing worse than a eye strain headache, NOTHING helps but to lay down and shut your eyes for several hours. (at least that is how it was with me) I hope your eyes stabilize soon and you get some relief.

Sparks19,

My doctor told me that once I hit 40, my vision would start to change. Boy was he right!!! While my distance vision isn't perfect, and has changed slightly every year, it's my reading vision that has gone in the loo. I swore I'd never have those little "windows" in my glasses to read, like my parents did. Alas, I can't afford the progressive bifocals so I'm reduced to becoming my mother.

Have you checked Zenni Optical? Seeing as my glasses - which are usually hundreds o dollars - were just $18, it might be worth a try, if you have your prescription handy!
