Default it's official, i am now blind

went to the optometrist today for an eye test and i no longer have perfect sight. shortsighted by the smallest amount possible. made a big difference to the sharpness of the letters on the screen. i was surprised as i have prided myself on having perfect 20:20. have noticed it getting harder to see things at night when driving so maybe it is for the best. anyways lenses with antiglare, rayban frames, £290

cheers

£290 is cheap these days dude. I've worn contact lenses for years but for the last year I have gone back to glasses. When I ordered them my prescription was such that the frames and lenses came to a heart stopping £435 Be happy in the knowledge that short-sitedness gets worse over time so the price will go up every time
