Who'da thunk someone's glasses history could be so engaging! I was riveted! I too had the "can't see the blackboard" problem and was marched off to the optician. It was at a time when the UK's free NHS frames had become so ironically cool (think Jarvis Cocker) that people were getting them even if they didn't need them, so they changed the frames to something totally dorky looking, which I ended up getting :( In 1989 I joined a thrash metal band and switched to contacts so that I could bang my head on stage in confidence. For about 15 years after that I wore disposable contacts that my 1990 optician told me I could sleep in for a week. I never had my eyes tested during that whole time and would sleep in them after heavy party sessions and suchlike. When eventually I got my eyes tested they said "you SLEEP in those? My god your eyes are screwed! They don't advise doing that any more!" Luckily my eyes had escaped unscathed. It's funny because a few years ago I switched from contacts to glasses for the same reason you switched from glasses to contacts - to cheer myself up with a change (and also because I got bored of taking them in and out). I've worn specs ever since, although every now and then I will slip in some contacts for a "treat" because they make everything look huge and awesome :)
@weirdpaulp7 жыл бұрын
Wow sleeping in them! That I have never heard of. I fell asleep for a little while once with them in and they were a bitch to get out!! Billy Idol once fell asleep with his in and they fused to his eyeballs and he had to have emergency surgery!

I once put mine in straight from the disinfecting solution, forgetting to do the neutralizing solution first. It was like putting a hot coal in my eye and I took me an hour to peel it off. My eye was red raw for a week. My other nightmare (and it's only happened once) is having it slip around your eyeball out of view. That is one scary experience.

Your optometrist said you were in a small percentage? Almost everyone around 40 years old starts to lose the ability to see up close! And with out a progressive or bifocal, wearing glasses increases the need for these lens additions. What you are doing with one contact lens is called mono vision! If you wish to wear glasses again all you need is progressives or bifocals Paul! Love your channel! Makes me wish I had held on to the things of my past!
@beckigreen7 жыл бұрын
Bryan Johnson I agree with you. I think Paul needs to go to a different Optometrist. That is crazy that the Optometrist is having him wear one contact, instead of two. Paul, please get a second opinion. You shouldn't have to see the world in Monovision.
@weirdpaulp7 жыл бұрын
Yeah but I have not lost the ability to see close up, that's the thing. I can see fine close up right now while I'm typing this and I'm not wearing contacts or glasses. What I lost is the ability to see close up while WEARING my glasses or contacts (which I wear to see far away). Glad you enjoy my channel, Bryan!
@weirdpaulp7 жыл бұрын
He was my second opinion actually! The first doctor gave me two contacts and in order to see close up, I'd have to put a pair of glasses on TOP of the contacts! Ridiculous and not only that, once I put those on, I couldn't see far away anymore! Which made it impossible to do things like watch a movie on TV while answering KZbin comments! The one contact thing is working out the best for me right now. I hope one day I'll have the money for Lasik surgery!
@proeyebry7 жыл бұрын
That is a very common occurrence nearsighted Myopes as they age need bifocals to see up close while wearing the their glasses. I too can see perfect up close while not wearing my glasses. But as soon as I put them on I can't see up close anymore! Put a progressive lens in your glasses and all will be fixed! I am a master optician with 21 years in the industry this happens all the time! You will never be able to see as well as you did up close while wearing either 2 contacts for distance or glasses with out an addition of multi focal contacts or bifocals!
