Information about Glasses Frame

I remember as a kid coming home from school and seeing my Mom sitting there wearing a pair of glasses. This was new! I asked her what was the deal with the specs and she said she needed them to read. She reminded me she was getting older and that it wasn't uncommon for a person's eyes to start going blurry when they hit their forties or fifties.

My Dad had worn glasses all his life so he didn't look funny wearing them... he looked funny when he took them off! He wore two different pairs, actually. One was for close in work and the other for driving. I noticed what a pain it was for him to always need to have these things within reach in order to be able to see. I hoped I'd never need glasses but, according to Mom, I probably would.

Twenty-some years ago when laser eye surgery hit the market a lot of people started using this option for eyesight correction. The procedure wasn't legal for a long time in the U.S. because it hadn't been approved by the appropriate government agency but people had it done anyway. Usually they went to Canada for the operation. It was being widely used in Europe also.

It was finally approved for use in America in the middle 90's and the popularity of the treatment soared. The technological advances have been notable and laser eye surgery of today is much different than just a few years ago. The old methods are still in use in some places but are riskier, not as fast or easy to perform and less definite in producing successful results. But it's cheaper.

I find myself frequently comparing form versus function as well as quality versus cost value. Buying hangers recently, for example, I was faced with two options in the store. They had wood hangers and they had the plastic tube ones. I could buy a dozen of one type for about the same price as only two of the other type. I needed a total of ten. Which kind would you have chosen?

Mom and Dad both got the eye surgery (LASIK) this past year and both got close to 20/20 vision as a result. They were fortunate in having medical coverage that paid for the whole thing and they got the latest (and most expensive) treatment done. No more going to the optician to pick out new eye glass frames for them... they've both thrown their spectacles away. They're both in their early eighties. Dad looks funny ALL the time now!

Now I'm thinking about going under the laser too. I'm tired of not being able to read or see the computer screen without the use of 'cheaters'. I guess Mom was right (as usual!).
