  1. Went to #opticians last week for eye test and checkup, was slightly cursing myself for driving short distance but it was cold and pissing down with rain. Had to fight cursed #UI of parking machine to get my pay and display ticket (took several tries, but I refuse to download yet another app)

    Thankfully my distant #eyesight is no worse than 2 years ago (although my #presbyopia has increased slightly to +1,50) - managed to unearth a #vuln in an #OCT scanner as I am very nearsighted - the level of this overflowed the software, optician had to use a different one!

    Was shown all the pictures of the inside of my eye/optic nerve etc, all was good there (considering my age and near sight)

    Got some #ramen from one of the Asian shops but didn't hang around long in town due to #weather (brr!)

  6. And that's another trip to the Specsavers in Andover done, until I go pick up the new glasses in ~2 weeks.

    Once more the staff were lovely, professional and both offered good information and answered any questions I had.

    My bank account is wincing, as I've refreshed all *three* pairs; "intermediate vision" for computer work (most of my day), normal varifocals, and another varifocal pair with a polaroid tint for if it's sunny.

  10. This afternoon I'm going into town to get fleeced by the opticians.

    I need a new frame for my specs as the current one is at least 2 years old is warped.
    Every time I go the optician says I need to get serious about protecting my eyes from UV - so I'm going to get two pairs (probably identical frames) but one with Transitions lenses - which my wife swears by.
    Add on the cost of the bifocal lenses and the credit card will be feeling the pain later!

    At least the Park & Ride bus will only be £1 each return (not free with the OAP bus pass) and we'll get to see the #leicester Christmas Tree.

  11. It's ordering new spectacles time this week, where I decide that every frame does not suit me, even the ones I'm wearing, but at least I'm used to them.

    Wondering if there are means to make magnifying lenses accurately other than by trial and error or with maths?
