So I've had the day off to go for a hospital appointment later and decided I could squeeze an eye test in this morning. It's probably been around 6 years so I was really overdue. I've always been a bit short sighted so wear glasses for driving and other distance things, but close up work like reading and specifically model making has become an issue lately.
So the test went well, and my eyes are in perfect health. I even went the whole hog for a new fangled 3D scan, which showed up no problems. My regular prescription hasn't changed either, which is a good thing, but they've recommended reading glasses, with a +2.0 lens. Seems pretty strong so no wonder I've been having trouble :nerd:
I spoke to the optometrist about my hobby and the fact that I sometimes use magnifying lenses. Her recommendation was to try the readers on their own first, but use the magnifiers as well as (rather than instead of) my glasses if needed.
